Walesa quickly said he would give the approximatley $190,000 award to Poland's Roman Catholic Church, which as been outspoken in its support of the labor movement. SOLIDARITY admirers around the world praised Walesa's selection. Pope John Paul II wired congratulations to his 40-year-old compatriot and President Reagan hailed the award as a victory of "moral force over brute for- ce." Polish authorities did not say whether they would permit Walesa to leave Poland to accept the award, and the labor leader said he was considering sending a relative in his place. Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov, the only, other Peace Prize laureate from the East bloc, did not accept his 1975 award because he feared he would not be allowed to return home. His wife, Yelena Bonner, attended on his behalf. In Warsaw, deputy government spokesman Andrzej Konopacki charged that the award was politically motivated and said the Peace Prize "used to be a meaningful award. Now it is devalued."

The two security officers, Peter Sutton and Rachel Flint, responded to a call at 4:25 p.m. that the suspect, Gary Lustid, was wandering around the third floor of the LSA Building, said Univer- sity Security Director Walter Stevens. THE BUILDING employee who called Univer- sity security recognized Lustid as someofne who "we had trouble with a few weeks ago," Stevens said. When Sutton and Flint arrived, Lustid was leaving the building. He falsely told the two of- ficers that he was a student, and when he reached into his pocket, they assumed that he was going to show them his student identification card. But Lustid pulled out a small container of chemical spray, then allegedly sprayed the chemical in the officers' eyes. A THIRD OFFICER, Tim Shannon, arrived as Lustid was spraying the other security guards. Shannon helped to subdue Lustid until Ann Arbor Police arrived at the scene. - Lustid has been charged with felonious assault and is being held in Washtenaw County Jail. Sutton and Flint were taken to University Hospital, where they were treated for reaction to the chemical spray and released. Flint went back to work today, and Sutton will return soon. Stevens said that the case is still under in- vestigation, and that further charges "are probably forthcoming." Senate Republicans call for Watt 's removal WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Republicans served blunt notice yesterday that Interior Secretary James Watt must go or face a strong vote of no confidence. But President Reagan said Watt "has done a fine job," and a "stupid renark" didn't merit his removal. Senate GOP leaders said a stormy, closed-door caucus on Tuesday had demonstrated that support for Watt had waned far beyond previous estimates, and a consensus emerged that the secretary should resign for the good of the party. Minority Democrats, in their own caucus days earlier, unanimously endorsed a call for Watt's ouster. WATT MET with presidential counselor Edwin Meese early yesterday for "a general discussion of the Senate situation," then left town for "a long- planned vacation," according to Douglas Baldwin, the secretary's chief spokesman. Baldwin said Watt "is not reassessing" his plans and continues to believe he is an asset to the administration: Reagan, whose aides had pronounced the case closed over Watt last week, told The Associated Press board of directors that the secretary "had done a fine job." The president said Watt made "a stupid remark" when he referred to an advisory panel on coal leasing as "a black. . . a woman, two Jews and a cripple" two weeks ago. BUT REAGAN said he agreed with House Democratic Leader Jim Wright of Texas on the issue. "He didn't think it was an impeachable of- fense, and I don't either." said Reagan. "I recognize that a mistake was made," the president said. "(Watt) recognizes that, too. What he was trying to say was not based on any malice, any prejudice of any kind . . . If there was any bigotry or malice in the man, prejudice of any kind, he wouldn't be a part of the administration."

A BEER LABEL designer says he will sue the state of Connecticut if it doesn't lift a ban on the sale of Nude Beer, which features the picture of a woman whose bikini top can be scratched away. "There's no judge in this land who would deny me my constitutional rights to market this beer," said William Boam, chairman of Nude Products, Inc. in Tustin, Calif. Connecticut's Liquor Control Com- mission banned the beer-which features the picture of a voluptuous blonde in a skimpy black bikini-after learning ts a female in a provocative dress." Nude beer is currently available in about 12 states, although it also has been ban- ned in New York and Ohio. Boam said he plans to sue those states as well. He said a survey he took shows that women are not offended by the label but want equal treatment for men. He said he will oblige and plans to bring out Nude Dude Beer-featuring a label of a man wearing a scratch- away bathing suit-in time for Christmas. El were held in the Natural Science Auditorium.
