Send letter or resume to: Mr. Randy Truax 100 Briarwood Circle, Ann-Arbor, MI 48104 i WARSAW, Poland (AP)-Polish of- ficials said yesterday that three of- ficers of the secret police had been charged with killing a pro-Solidarity priest. The government said the priest probably died of strangulation and that the accused men said he showed no sign of life when he was thrown into a reser- voir. A well-informed source said he ws told that the abducted Rev. Jerzy Popieluszko had been battered, gagged and tied but was apparently still alive when he was tossed into the water. J COL. ZBIGNIEW PUDYSZ, director of the Interior Ministry's investigation office, said Popieluszko probably died of strangulation, the official news agency PAP reported. State television quoted Pudysz that the three secret- police officers had confessed to killing the 37-year-old priest after his abduc- tion. Also yesterday, PAP said the ruling Politburo instructed Polish leader Gen. Wojciech Jaruzolski to take over supervision of Communist Party work within the Interior Ministry. In a statement, the Politburo said: "What is an isolated event must not un- dermine the good name of the... security service and civil militia police.'' THE POLITBURO STATEMENT charged that the political oppression in Poland was trying to exploit Popieluszko's killing for its own ends. The statement also accused some priests of engaging in "instigatory agitation" after the priest's abduction. The Interior Ministry controls Poland's uniformed and secret police forces.The three secret-police officers charged with murdering Popieluszko all worked for the Interior Ministry. One colonel in the ministry also has been charged with assisting in the Roman Catholic priest's abduction and slaying, a second colonel faces possible internal disciplinary measures, and a general has been suspended. Pudysz told the parliamentary Com- mission on Internal Affairs and Justice that murder charges have been filed against the secret-police captain and two of his lieutenants. The three-previously identifed as Capt. Grzegorz Piotrowski and Lts. Waldemar Chmielewski and Leszek Pekala-were charged earlier with the kidnapping of the priest. Reports and rumors attributed to family and colleagues of the priest said the body bore signs of torture and severe beating. Dissident history Jan Jozef Lipski said Monday that reliable church sources informed him the Roman Catholic episcopate was keeping the "terrifying" details of the autopsy secret for fear of stirring public unrest. PUDYSZ SAID the priest probably died "as a result of strangulation caused by either hand pressures, a noose or a gag which disturbed the breathing action." He said an official cause of death would not be determined until the results of laboratory tests are known. Interior Minister Gen. Czeslaw Kisz- cak told the parliamentary commisson that statements from the three police officers sadid Popieluszko showed no sign of life when he was thrown into the reservoir. Kiszcaks statement, repor- ted by PAP, was the government's first detailed account of the priest's abduc- tion and killing. Students angrywith postponed court date (Continued from Page 1) "We're loath to ask them for an ad- journment," said Koster. He too was skeptical that the court will grant a request for postponement, but said he will probably ask for one. Prosecuting attorney David Lady said he has been ready to go to court since summer. He said the sooner the trial is over the better it will be for everyone involved. If the defendents request a postponement he said he will not object but added that the decisions rests entirely with Elden. Koster said he does not think his clients have received a fair and speedy trial as promised in the Constitution. He hopes to show that the postponements interfered with the defendants' right to due process creating grounds for dismissal. He said he has yet to find solid grounds for dismissal and refuses to file any "flimsy motions" but said he will continue to look for grounds because "it is a way to win." POLICE- NOTES IN BRIEF Complied from Associated Press and United Press International reports Chile head reinstates minister SANTIAGO, Chile - President Augusto Pinochet declared a state of siege - yesterday, saying it was necessary to combat a wave of violence that left 10 dead in the last week and led to the resignation of his Cabinet. Pinochet also refused to accept the resignation of Interior Minister Sergio Onofre Iarpa, the chief minister, whose decision to step down Monday was followed by the other 15 Cabinet ministers. The state of siege, reimposed in Chile for the first time since 1978, in- creased the military government's powers of arrests and broadened its power to restrict civil liberties, particularly press freedom in varying degrees. Pinochet announced last week that he was postponing plans to legitimize political parties and warned he would reimpose a state of siege if protests against his 11-year-old military regime escalated out of control. The declaration came two days after two police were killed in the latest outbreak of terrorist violence and a week after a new outburst of demon-. strations left eight people dead. Sandi cnistas sweep to easy win San MANAGUA, Nicaragua-Nicaragua's Sandinista rulers consolidated their power yesterday, sweeping to an easy victory over minor parties in the first elec- tion since the revolution that brought them to power in 1979. Junta chief Daniel Ortega, presidential candidate of the leftist Sandinista National Liberation Front, claimed victory Monday from the first returns that showed the Front taking an easy majority. Final figures were not ex- pected until tomorrow, but the results of 37 percent of the vote counted showed the Sandinistas with 240,874 votes of the 355,069 valid votes cast for president and vice president. Totals available were from 1,450 of the 3,892 polling places in Sunday's election for president, vice president and a 90-member national assembly. The Sandinistas say the turnout exceeded 80 percent of the nearly 1.6 million eligible voters and that this is a show of support for their five years of rule-despite the lack of significant opposition at the polls. The major opposition, known as the Nicaraguan Democratic Coordinate, boycotted the election because it said there were inadequate conditions for a free and open campaign. The five small parties all supported the Sandinistas in varying degrees. Indians still search for peace NEW DELHI, India-A week after Indira Gandhi's assassination, opposition political and religious leaders told the new government the situation was "still serious" throughout much of India and urged firm action to protect the Sikhs from marauding Hindus. A Sikh leader said thousands of Sikhs had been killed. Indian army troops kept peace in New Delhi and other major cities, where Hindu mobs had ransacked Sikh shops and homes in a four-day frenzy of killing and destruction. The violence broke out after Gandhi's assassination last Wednesday by two men identified as Sikh members of her security staff. The United News of India said two of the senior police officers responsible for Gandhi's security-G.R. Gupta, deputy commissioner of police, and D.C. Gulia, the assistant commissioner-had been suspended pending completion of an investigation into her killing. Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, the 40-year-old elder son who succeeded his mother hours after her death, last Saturday dismissed Lt. Gov. P.G. Gavai, New Delhi's top administrative officer, who was criticized for allegedly lax police efforts to stop the bloodbath. Discovery to track satellites CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.-As its five astronauts received last-minute flight updates, crews prepared space shuttle Discovery for this morning's liftoff on a mission to chase and capture two satellites that are whirling around Earth in worthless orbits. Discovery was set to roar away from the Kennedy Space Center at 8:22 a.m. EST and predictions were for scattered clouds, "no chance of fog," and gentle winds. During their eight days aloft, the astronauts will deliver two commercial satellites to space, then make daring space walks to snag the two errant satellites and lock them into the shuttle cargo bay for return to Earth. It will be the first time that satellites have been brought back for repair. The technique for tracking them down was developed last April when another crew snapped parts on the Solar Max satellite and released it back into orbit. Commanding the mission is veteran shuttle pilot Rick Hauck. Other crew members are pilot David Walker and mission specialists Anna Fisher, Joe Allen and Dale Gardner. Passenger attack ends hi'ack NICOSIA, Cyprus-Passengers and crew on a hijacked Saudi airliner at- tacked their abductors yesterday while the plane was on the ground in Tehran,clearing the way for arrest of the hijackers and release of all 131 hostages, news reports said. The official Iranian news agency IRNA said the passenger action gave Iranian troops a chance to storm the plane. A British passenger interviewed by phone by the British Broadcasting Corp. did not mention the Iranian troops, but said after the passenger attack, the people aboard the plane slid down the plane's chutes to safety. The two hijackers, identified only as citizens of North Yemen, had been demanding half a million dollars for themselves and $500 million as Saudi development aid for their impoverished-Red Sea country, IRNA said. Both were arrested, it added. One of the passengers was injured during the incident, IRNA said without giving further details on the identity of the passenger or the gravity of in- juries. The hijack drama started shortly after midnight as the Saudi Airlines Tristar jet, carrying 117 passengers and 14 crew on a flight from London to Riyadh via Jidda, was about to land at its destination. The two hijackers forced the pilot to fly north and land in Tehran, where the episode ended a little less than 10 hours later. TH FABRIC OFAMEREICHA Woven in wool7WPendeton. Midterm i - - cum.
