Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, November 6, 1985 Gen. Jaruzelski to resign today WARSAW, Poland (AP) - Gen. Wojciech "Jaruzelski plans to resign as prime minister today ,and will be replaced by deputy prime minister and jolitburo member Zbigniew Messner, Communist Party and diplomatic sources said yesterday. Jaruzelski, the four-star army general who declared martial law in 1981, will retain his title of 'Communist Party first secretary, said the sour- ,0es, speaking on condition of anonymity. The govermgent change, which the sources said was approved yesterday at a Communist Party Central Committee meeting in Warsaw, was ex-, pected to be more public today at the inaugural session of the new Parliament. Messner, 56, has been responsible for coor- dinating the country's economic reform program since Jaruzelski appointed him deputy prime minister in November 1983. Jaruzelski, 62, became prime minister in February 1981 and was named party first -secretary eight months later. Western diplomats said his decision to step 'lown as head of the government would send a signal that the political crisis in Poland was over. The crisis had led to the declaration of martial law and suppression of the Solidarity free trade movement in December 1981. They said the move also was designed to strengthen the Communist Party, which lost nearly a million members after the birth of Solidarity in 1980 and the imposition of military rule. "Poland is the only communist country in the world where the government was doing the gover- ning rather than the party," one diplomat said. "It means Jaruzelski had decided the problem in Poland is no longer political, but economic." Diplomats said that by relinguishing control over the day-to-day operation of the government, Jaruzelski would be able to devote his attention to party matters prior to next year's Communist Party congress. Recently, Polish television shocked viewers by showing Solidarity supporters outside Poland's U.N. mission in New York shouting "down with Jaruzelski" and carrying placards urging the visiting leader to "go back to Moscow." The report did not translate the more caustic references to Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski as a "but- cher." Viewers, however, did not need to know English to understand the shouts of "Gestapo" or a placard equating a Communist hammer-and- sickle with a Nazi swastika as Jaruzelski's motor- cade arrived at the mission. Although the 15-minute broadcast was intended to discredit the protesters as extremists ignored by New Yorkers during Jaruzelski's September visit, the TV report would have been unimaginable in any other Soviet bloc country. It was a striking example of the Communist government's new offensive in an information war with the Solidarity underground press and Polish- language services of Radio Free Europe, the Voice of America and the British Broadcasting Corp. Unable to enforce a monopoly on.information, the government has changed its propaganda tac- tics. No longer ignoring opposition, the authorities regularly publicize and ridicule Solidarity protest calls and anti-government commentaries on Western radio. "In the information war it is important who is quicker," government spokesman Jerzy Urban wrote in a foreword to a new book on his weekly news conferences with foreign journalists. U.S. interviews KGB defector VYurchenko WASHINGTON (AP) - The Soviet Union yesterday agreed to a U.S. demand for an interview with KGB spy Vitaly Yurchenko to prove he isn't being coerced into returning to his homeland after three months in the "uhands of American intelligence agen- ts. s tudent n n.s"My only wish," Yurchenko said of Sef forts to . his extraordinary Soviet homecoming, "is to return as soon as possible to my country, my family, my kin and my friends."

"Maybe the order of ... prison, but not the Order of Lenin," speculated -y Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Yurchenko's own story of being kidnapped, drugged and held by the CIA is viewed by U.S. experts as no more than a propoganda lie not even believed by the Soviets themselves. Even more blunt was George Car- ver, a former intelligence official now with Georgetown University. "Initially the Soviets will wring all the propaganda mileage out of him," Carver said. "After that, he'll be taken to . . . Lubyanka (prison in Moscow), and if he's lucky, a bullet will be put in the base of his skull." Experts say they wouldn't be sur- prised if the Soviets make a brief fuss upon Yurchenko's return - putting him on Soviet television and in the Soviet press to retell his tale. For domestic consumption, it would be to describe the darkness that faces a possible defector; if directed at foreign consumption, it might be to counter human-rights accusations or to upset the upcoming summit. "If he was dispatched to pull off this deal," said former CIA official Ray Cline, "he will be treated like a hero.", Former CIA director William Colby, however, said he doesn't ex- pect the Soviets to make too much more of the story. Yurchenko's em- phasis that President Reagan probably didn't know about his han- dling, Colby said, is a signal the Soviets don't want to upset the sum- mit. "I think this has a lifespan of three days," Colby, who headed the CIA from 1973 to 1976 said in an interview. Colby doesn't believe Yurchenko was a plant, though he says it's a possibility that must be considered. IN BRIEF COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS AND UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS Shultz, Gorbachev rendezvous MOSCOW - Secretary of State George Shultz wound up 14 hours of "vigorous discussion" with Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev and other Kremlin officials yesterday, saying the talks failed to narrow the super- powers' differences on arms control. Shultz said that despite "serious disagreements, the two sides had pledged to work hard in preparing the Nov. 19-20 summit meeting bet- ween President Reagan and Gorbachev in Geneva. "Basically, we have a lot to do," Shultz said. In a news conference before departing for an overnight refueling stop in Iceland, Shultz tempered his downbeat appraisal of the two-day visit by observing "we see some positive developments" in the U.S.-Soviet relationship. But he was unable to cite any major area of reconciliation or prospect of an accord for the first superpower summit in more than six years. In fact, Shultz said, he wouldn't "bet on" an agreement in principle between the two leaders on how to pursue a treaty to curb the arms race. Philosophically, Shultz said "life does not end in the middle of Novem- ber." He said the possibility of additional meetings between the leaders was "before us but nothing has been settled." Supreme Court debates abortion WASHINGTON - Long-awaited arguments before the Supreme Court over state efforts to regulate abortions developed into a discussion of technicalities yesterday and the justices suggested they may not resolve the disputes. The cases involve attempts by Pennsylvania and Illinois to expand, by threat of criminal sanctions, their regulatory powers over doctors who perform abortions. At one point during public argument sessions, Justice Thurgood Mar- shall pointed to procedural problems in the Illinois case and exclaimed, "What is before us is exactly nothing." In both cases, almost all questions from the justices centered on procedural matters and not on the underlying - and always divisive - constitutional issues. The cases have been closely watched by "pro-life" and "pro-choice" forces since the court last spring agreed to review them. The Reagan administration last July urged the justices to use the cases to overturn their landmark 1973 decision legalizing abortion - a bold move widely viewed as having no chance of succeeding. S. African gov't confiscates Rev. Boesak's passport JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - The government overruled a court yesterday and confiscated the passport of the Rev. Allan Boesak, an anti- apartheid activist who had planned to travel to the United States this month to accept a humanitarian award. The decision was announced by Minister of Home Affairs Stoffel Botha, who gave no explanation. Boesak, who is of mixed race, accused the government of pettiness. "This government has no respect for the courts or the rule of law," he said, adding that his lawyers will consider an appeal. Boesak, president of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches, had intended to go to Washington on Nov. 20 to accept the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award. Security police arrested Boesak on Aug. 27, the eve of a mass march he vowed to lead through Cape Town to demand that black-rights leader Nelson Mandela be freed from Pollsmoor Prison. Philippinos to elect V.P. MANILA, Philippines - President Ferdinand Marcos changed his mind yesterday and announced that a vice president also will be chosen in the election planned for Jan. 17. He said filling the post would ensure political stability. The last vice president, Fernando Lopez, lost his job in 1972 when Mar- cos abolished the office and began eight years of martial-law rule. Marcos did not say who his running mate would be in the presidential election, but opposition leaders said they doubted it would be his wife Imelda. They predicted that the United States would frown on such a move, which one said would be "brutally vulgar." Marcos had said originally that the election would be only for president and that the vice presidency would be filled in a later vote. Opponents responded that the continued lack of a vice president, and thus a specified successor, would aggravate political instability in the Philippines. Sex survey cites parents' fears NEW YORK - A new poll has found that 84 percent of American adults believe teen pregnancies in the United States are a serious problem, but 64 percent believe parents have little to no control over their youngsters' sexual activity. The survey concluded that "there is a public mandate for television to deal more realistically with the subjects of sex and birth control." Seven- ty-eight percent of the respondents said they think TV should present messages about birth control as part of its programming. In addition, American adults overwhelmingly support sex education in the schools, said the poll released Monday, with 85 percent of the respon- dents saying sex education shoudl be in the curricula. And 67 percent said they favored requiring public schools to establish links with family planning clinics so sexually active teen-agers have ac- cess to information and contraceptives. The three major networks have refused to accept birth control adver- tisements or public service announcements, said Humphrey Taylor, president of Louis Harris. He blamed the media for creating a public per- ception that birth control is controversial, but said the survey results prove that is not the case.

"I've always been willing to meet with any student whenever they've been interested." ROACH ADDED however, that saying regents have little contact with students on campus "is probably not an accurate reflection."
