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. Daily Photo by KIM HILL Road"Trip? Friday night was not the ideal time for a drive in the country, as this four- wheeled victim of freezing rain proves peering from its new home in a ditch on the outskirts of Ann Arbor. (Amateur and' Commercial Photofinishing) Econ fire suspects sought 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.

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.

University In by 9 or 1, 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. 4 TONIGHT at Rick's American Cafe GARY PRYKA ' and The Scales plus Infra-Red I.

(Continued from Page 1), "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."
