The Michigan Daily-Saturday, September 20, 1980-Page 3 U.S. detects new Soviet maneuvers near Poland Sarah Power Daily Photo by DAVID HARRIS Power lauds accomplishments of international women s conference WASHINGTON (AP)-The United States has detected signs of increased maneuvers by Soviet and East German troops near Poland, prompting concern among U.S. officials over the possibility of Soviet intervention. Secretary of State Edmund Muskie said yesterday the United States was monitoring the situation closely. ASKED WHETHER HE thought there was a danger of a Soviet invasion, Muskie said, "When there is a coin- cidence of political developments and these exercises in that areaof the world, one would not be wise to overlook the coincidence." Earlier, State Department spokesman John Trattner had confir- med a Boston Globe story that unusual military activities were detected near Poland in recent days. Trattner said the United States is drawing no conclusions about whether the activities are related to Poland's recent labor unrest and the challenges to Communist party rule in that coun- try. TRATTNFER ALSO DID not rule out the possibility that the activities might be related to Warsaw Pact maneuvers routinely carried out in the late sum- mer. "That's something that we're still evaluating," Trattner said. "It could be or it might not be. I think we have not reached a conclusion on that." OTHER OFFICIALS, WHO asked not to be identified, said the activities have been carried out in East Germany and in the Soviet Union, both of which have long borders with Poland. The Globe account, citing Western in- telligence reports, said the military ac- tivity could presage either an invasion of Poland or a significant show of force for intimidation purposes. Two weeks ago, State Department of- ficials said Muskie had appealed for Soviet restraint in dealing with Poland during a meeting with a Soviet embassy official. Trattner reiterated yesterday that the Soviets have been made aware of the U.S. position that Polish problems should be left to the Poles themselves to By LISSA OLIVER A July international women's con- erence worked as a "common resolve to speak about life,- about hope, and about the future," University Regent Sarah Power told a group of more than 65 in the Modern Languages Building yesterday. Power, who is also Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights and Social Affairs, represented the United States at the World Conference of the United Nations Decade for Women in Copenhagen this summer. resolve. He said the signs of increased activity near Poland were detected a little more than a week ago. Since the Polish strikes began, American officials have been haunted by the possibility that the Soviets might respond by using force-as they did in Hungary in 1956 and in Czechoslovakia in 1968. NINETY-THREE countries respon- ded to a questionnaire which provided members of the conference data on the status of women worldwide, Power said. With this information, she con- tinued, members of the Conference hoped to influence the international community to act on women's issues. These issues include: technical training for women; strengthened child welfare and family planning; income maintenance for, women who are the sole support of their families; and a greater role and participation for HA FILMS Gargoyle'Films-Despair, 7, 9:10 p.m., MLB Aud. 4.

Equality will come with "the redistribution of the workload and responsibilities among women and men in society-both within and outside the household," the Regent said. MANY MYTHS ABOUT the women's movement were shattered at the Copenhagen conference, Power said. One belief she refuted is that the women's movement is "basically a Western phenomenon with Americans playing the lead role. "Be it the exiled Soviet feminist or the Bolivian mine-worker's wife leading the fight against dictatorship in her country, the fact is that the movement is well established world- wide, with deep roots in all countries," Power said. The concerns of women in advanced countries are not different than concer- ns found in developing countries, Power said. "That 284 paragraphs in the World Program of Action were passed by con- sensus by some 150 countries attending the Conference should lay this myth to rest forever," Power emphasized. THE U.S. DELEGATION, however, voted against the Program because it included three propositions that had 'one politically unacceptable reference to the PLO and two morally objec- tionable references to Zionism," Power explained. The delegation did not allow these three paragraphs overshadow the im- portance of the whole, she said. "We (the U.S. delegation) did not lower our- selves to accord merit to the anti-Israel arguments," she said. Power said the U.S., however, must still play a significant role in the discussion of the propositions. Women's involvement is stronger than ever, Power concluded. "Copenhagen was a point in history of the women's movement, she said. "A point in time when, from the oppression of the past, we forged global networks of solidarity to build the foundations of our freedom. For women and men."
