Walesa 's wife
appeals to court
for his release
From AP and UP[
WARSAW, Poland - Lech Walesa's
wife appealed to the courts to clarify
her husband's legal status, and security
forces were fortifying checkpoints in-'
dicating a tightening of martial law, in-
formed sources said yesterday.
A report, published in London said
Walesa's wife, Danvta, demanded in a
letter to know on what charges her
husband was being held because he was
not formally arrested or "temporarily
detained," as provided for in the Polish
legal code, and that if he had been he
should have been released within 48
hours.
MEANWHILE,the Roman Catholic
church, playing an increasingly
prominent role as moderator in the
Polish crisis, denied yesterday it wan-
ted to confront martial law authorities
but was seeking only national recon-
ciliation.
In a new easing of martial law travel
restriction, Warsaw radio said the
Polish airline Lot would resume flights
to 23 foreign cities' in Europe, North
Africa and the Middle East beginning
tomorrow.
But travel within the country remains
restricted.
Travelers entering and leaving War-
saw said police checkpoints at the city's
boundaries had been fortified recently,
and temporary roadblocks were
replaced with metal gateposts.
The fortifications suggest officials in-
tend to maintain strict controls to back
their goal of preventing a return to open
opposition activity and labor turmoil.
The NATO allies said the situation in
Poland had worsened in the last two
weeks, and they. moved closed to
diplomatic and economic measures
against Poland and the Soviet Union.
They announced no sanctions after a
meeting yesterday in Brussels,
Belgium.
The U.S. International Trade Com-
mission seek further delays in paying
off loans from the West, but is recom-
mending against a default judgment for
the financially strapped dountry.
Poland owes an estimated 128 billion to
Western banks and governments.

IN BRIEF
Compiled from Associated Press and
United Press International reprts
Haig to meet with Gromyko
WASHINGTON- Secretary of State Alexander Haig flew to a Geneva
meeting with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromykoprepared to use
Soviet interest in strategic arms control as a lever to try to wrest con-
cessions on Poland from the Kremlin.
The meeting Tuesday will be the second between the two men in four mon
ths and takes place at perhaps the lowest point in U.S.-Soviet relations since
President Reagan took office a year ago.
The Haig-Gromyko mneeting in Switzerland immediately follows the
Reagan administration's decision to downgrade the talks by cutting their
length from two days to one and by shifting the focus from arms control to
Poland.
This new assertion of U.S. determination to link arms control talks to
Soviet behavior in the world was underscored late last week by State Depar-
tment spokesman Dean Fischer.
He said that although Reagan remains committed to "meaningful" arms
control, the strategic arms reduction talks "cannot be insulated from even-
ts."
'82 congressional session
expected to be showdown
WASHINGTON- The 97th Congress, assembling in the midst o a
deepening recession, convenes on Capitol Hill tomorrow for an election-year
session certain to be dominated by President Reagan's demands for new
budget cuts and his hunt for deficit-cutting revenues.
But the New Iight, having grudgingly given the administration and
Congress a year's grace period, will press in 1982 for action on its social
goals of no abortions, an end of school busing to achieve desegregation, and
resumption of voluntary prayer in schools.
Nuclear plants scrapped;
high utility rates predicted
SEATTLE- Customers of 88 Northwest public utilities in four states face
electricity rate increases of between 50 percent and 300 percent 6ver the next
three years now that two unfinished nuclear plants have been scrapped,
analysts say.
The directors of the Washington Public Power Supply System, which over-
sees construction for 115 utilities in eight Western states, voted Friday to
cancel the power plants because of cost overruns, lack of financing and
questions about the need for the electricity they would produce.
The $343 million termination cost, plus money to retire $2.25 billion of WP-
PSS bonds for work to date, must be paid by about 2 million utility customers
in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.
While there are no firm estimates on how much electricity bills will in-
crease, financial experts say a well-managed termination could double elec-
tric rates and uncontrolled termination could mean a fourfold increase for
some customers.
Soviet grain harvest dismal
MOSCOW- The Soviet economy failed dismally to meet key production
targets for food and heavy industry last year, portending a leaner-than-
expected 1982 for already strapped consumers, statistics released yesterday
showed.
Agricultural production fell 2 percent in 1981, the Central Statistical Board
announced in the government newspaper Izvestia.,
The Soviet Union kept secret the figures for its i9M grain harvest, in-
dicating a poor harvest for the third year in a row and perhaps the worst in
six years.
The Soviet grain target for 1981 was 236 million metric tons, but the U.S.
Department of Agriculture last year estimated it would be closer to 175
million.
"The fact the figure is not published indicates it is worse than 175, and may
even be worse than 170," a Western agricultural expert said.

Developing a library is a special con-
cern, because so many faculty mem-
bers lost their personal collections.
Porter said the faculty will start this
week to build up a good departmental
library.
ONE FACULTY member especially
hard hit by the fire was Prof. Glenn
-Loury. "I lost just abut every book and
journal I owned that pertained to
economics," he said. "I'm still ad-"
justing to the reality of the material not
being here and the library dieing a half-
mile away."
Loury said he will simply "work hard
and make the best of the situation."
No decision about the future of the
burned, out Economics Building has
been made.
DIRECTOR OF Plant Operations
Russell Reister said an engineering

method and cost of shoring up the walls.

He said the information will influence
the building's fate. The study will be
completed this week.-
"If we can shore up the walls without
it costing us an arm and a leg, the
money might be spent and a decision
delayed as to what to do with the
building," Reister said..
University Vice President for Academic
Affairs Billy Frye said a final decision
on what to do with the building will not.
be made for at least two weeks.
MEMBERS OF the economics depar-
tment were unanimous in their support
of a new facility. "I would like a new
building," Department Chairman
Frank Stafford said, adding that he is
optimistic about it. He said the Univer-
sity is already short of office space.
Stafford said the department will
submit a list of the amount of space it
peeds }o the LSA administration this
week.
Although - the hospital facility
provides larger rooms, there are fewer
of them, Associate Chairman Porter
said. This has caused problems
housing graduate students and teaching
assisitants. "We had to double up some
people," he said.
Prof. Sue Ranney said, "I can't
imagine any solution other than
building a new building. It's my im-
pression we can't stay here permanen-
tly."
Prof. Robert Stern was adamant that
the University "shold tear down the old
shell," and that the department needs a
new building or new quarters.
University Director of Purchasing
Eugene Ingram has been directing the
Economics Building salvage operation,
which he said will probably be com-
pleted in two weeks. Ingram said about
2,400 milk cartons of material were
pulled from the rubble, but more than
twice that much was destroyed.
A TECHNIQUE known as freeze-
drying has been used to preserve many
items. Document , Restoratilon
Specialist James Craven said, freeze-
drying is "a dirty, smelly process."
Material is first cooled to minus 20
degrees. This stops deterioration of
paper and glue, and prevents mold
from forming, he said.
Frozen items are then transferred td
a vacuum chamber, where the pressure
is lowered to less than one pound per
square inch. This causes the water in
the books and journals to move into the
surrounding vacuum as water vapor,
Craven said.
THE PROCESS does not remove dirt,
he explained. "Anything that goes in
wrinkled, dirty and wet comes out
wrinkled, dirty and dry."
The salvage operation uses three dif-
ferent vacuum chambers, Ingram said.
Two are here in Ann Arbor - one at the
University's Aerospace Laboratory on
North Campus, the other at the Bendix
Corporation. The third is at Wright-
Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton,
Ohio.

"Definitely, he magnified the power
and the centrality of the federal gover-
nment, although his staff was tiny com-
pared to a modern one," he said.
The often visionary policies of the
New Deal have.. been as central to
recent political thought as Roosevelt
was to the elevation of the presidency,
Fine said.
Fine also pointed to the Great
Depression and the New Deal years as
a period of one of the most profound
crises the American economic system
has had to face.
"The New Deal was a demonstration
of the ability of the system to reform it-
self, and provide an alternative to
Marxist-Leninist theories of the day,"
Fine said. "Franklin Roosevelt was a
social reformer. He believed that
reform was essential. To do nothing
was the dangerous thing."
