Josef Klasa, head of Central Committee's press department, told a news conference the Polish leadership would ask for Soviet and Warsaw Pact help if authority "slipped into the hands of anti- socialist elements" or if "socialism became en- dangered." But he said it would be imprudent to try to solve the, country's problems "with the help of military forces," and he believed Poland would resolve the crisis by itself. HE DISCUSSED the question of assistance from other communist countries only after persistent questions by reporters about the possibility of Soviet military intervention. Klasa said, "I think such endangering would occur only when .authority would slip from the hands of democracy into the hands of anti-socialist elements. Then the Polish Communists would have the right and duty to ask for assistance from the communists of other countries." leader says In Moscow there were accusations that the West was attempting to increase tension in Poland. There have been mounting fears in some Western capitals that the Soviets might intervene because of widespread worker discontent and pressures on the Polish Communist Party leadership for liberal reforms. POLAND'S CONTROLLED newspapers prominen- tly displayed a speech by a new Politburo member rejecting the use of force against militant members of the new independent unions, and a deputy premier told a French newspaper that threats of Soviet inter- vention were exaggerated. A day after President Carter spoke of an "un- precedented buildup" of Soviet forces along the Polish border, the Carter administration cautioned Moscow that Americans were united in their concern over the possibility of a Soviet intervention. Carter and President-elect Ronald Reagan yester- day sent the Soviet Union a clear, unified signal, warning that any attempt to exploit the change in American administrations by moving against Poland would be "a grave miscalculation."

Arab revolts against the NOVEMBER 29, 1947 British continue, killing many Jews and Arab moderates. The U.N. Security Council votes to divide Pales- tine into two states, one Jewish and one Arab, but the Arabs reject partition and launch a war to claim all of Palestine. Jordan and Egypt annex much of proposed Palestinian homeland. After President Sadat's visit to Israel and in spite of President Carter's entreaties, the PLO refuses to change its National Covenant calling for the destruction of Israel; therefore, the Palestinians remain outside the peace process. The P.L.O. leadership recently reaffirms its intent to destroy Israel, its support for the Soviet Union and places the U.S. "at the top of the enemies NOVEMBER 29, 1977 patrons (Continued from Page ) required for free checking services and penalties for withdrawals below the minimum. Ann Arbor Bank and Trust, Huro Valley National Bank,. and National Bankmand Trust will require $1,000 minimum balances for free checking -with interest, compared to an average $200 minimum for regular accounts. "Basically, the reason they're so high (minimum balances) is to discourage people who don't have a lot in their ac- count from using checking with in- terest. If there were no minimums and penalties, the bank couldn't afford t give interest," said Aileen Murray, Huron Valley National Bank's new ac- counts secretary. THE NEW interest option is a provision of the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act passed last March. It was designed to encourage people to maintain a higher balance in checking accounts, which would serve to increase banks' money supplies. Students and others who typically keep a relatively low balance in thei checking accounts are better off with regular no-interest acccounts, Murray said. Depositors should realize that the per-check and penalty charges on ac- counts with less than the minimum required for free checking would cancel out gains from the interest, and may even lead to losses, she said. CHARLES LAHEY, an Ann Arbor Bank and Trust executive, said the in terest checking accounts would be best for "those students who have $1,000 to deposit." But, he added, "experience has shown that the average student just doesn't keep that much in his account." Local credit unions have 'been allowed to offer interest on checking accounts for the past five years. In- terest rates at the credit unions are lower than those of commercial banks' but restrictions are fewer. The Ann Arbor Co-op Credit Union open to all University students, offers a checking service with interest called a "Share Draft Account" that has no minimum balance and no service charge. "Students shouldn't be penalized for withdrawing their own money," said Leo Murray, manager of the credit union. "We have been offering a free account with interest for years. Now the banks have seen the light." "If you don't have the dough you could end up being worse in the new ac- counts than in regular checking," said Robert Hofmann, manager of the University of Michigan Employee's Credit Union.
