Page 4-Saturday, May 30, 1981-The Michigan Daily Caidinal's death mourned by Polish Catocs 4 WARSAW, Poland (AP) - Thousan- ds of Polish mourners filed past the casket of Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski yesterday while church and Solidarity officials planned a funeral Mass in Vic- tory Square, where the cardinal and Polish-born Pope John Paul II celebrated an historic Mass two years ago. Despite a steady rain through the day, workmen completed digging a hole in which to place a 40-foot-high cross for the outdoor funeral Mass Sunday. THOUSANDS ARE expected to at- tend the Mass in the square, the size of a large city l1qk and site of the Polish army's regular changing of the guard ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The cross and altar, to be placed a few hundred yards from the tomb, are similar to those elected when the Pope and Wyszynski, the Polish primhate whom John Paul called his mentor, celebrated Mass before some 80,000 people in June 1979. Wyszynski, the 79-year-old spiritual leader of Polish Roman Catholics, died Thursday of cancer at his Warsaw residence. FOR MANY in Poland, where80 per- cent to 90 percent of the 36 million population are Catholic, he symbolized the Polish church's struggle through years of Stalinist repression to gain a major role as a moderating force in past months of labor turmoil. In his last months, Wyszynski served as an adviser to the independent trade union Solidarity formed following last summer's strikes - and was con- sidered a voice of moderation by. the Polish government which had held him under house arrest for three years during the Stalinist 1950s. His funeral Mass will be only the second religious ceremony held in Vic- tory Square during Poland's post-war communist history, following the Mass said by Wyszynski and the pope during John Paul's triumphant return home after his election to the Holy See in 1978. REPRESENTATIVES of the church curia, civilian engineers and the in- dependent trade union Solidarity met to work out details for the Mass, including how to direct the thousands of Poled ex- pected to crowd the square. Polish television and radio are to broadcast the funeral Mass live. In the rain outside the seminary church where Wyszynski's body lay in state, thousands of Poles waited in a half-mile-long line to pay their last respects. A funeral procession from the seminary church on Krakowskie Pr- zedmieszie, or "King's Road," near the reconstructed royal castle in Warsaw's old city, will precede the Mass. In Brief Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports IRA hunger strikers to run for Parliament BELFAST-Four IRA hunger strikers and five other IRA convicts in Belfast's Maze prison will run for election to the Irish Parliament, their sup- porters announced yesterday. The new political ploy, possible under Irish election laws, was disclosed as police and troops again clashed with rioters in Catholic districts of London- derry. A group supporting the Irish Republican Army said nine IRA inmates at Maze prison, including all four hunger strikers, would run as candidates for the Irish Dail (Parliament) in the general elections June11. Meanwhile, in the latest violence, police said a shop and a library were badly damaged when rioters set them alight with gasoline bombs. Police search for gunman in murder of executive TULSA, Okla.-Police investigating the country club slaying of Telex Corp. founder Roger Wheeler sought help from other agencies yesterday in their search for a gunman, described by witnesses under hypnosis, with possible ties to organized crime. A police detective said officers were investigating known-professional gunmen resembling a bearded man who shot Wheeler Wednesday as the Telex board chairman sat in his car after a round of golf at Southern Hills Country Club. Detective Stanley Glanz said the slaying could have been a bungled rob- bery, a kidnapping or extortion attempt or an assassination "for some reason." Wheeler was carrying a large amount of cash and expensive jewelry, but the items were not taken. According to Glanz, the police questioned under hypnosis eight club em- ployees and members who saw the gunman and a driver flee the scene in a copper-colored Ford LTD. Carrier Nimitz returns to sea after fatal deck crash NORFOLK, Va.-Navy officials said yesterday that the $2 billion USS Nimitz could resume it's training course after finding no damage to a catapult plane launcher. The carrier's skipper, Capt. Jack Batzler, said his only real concern had been about the ship's No. 2 catapult-the device that helps planes reach take- off speed. But Navy officials said Friday it seemed to be working well enough to get the ship off as scheduled. The Nimitz will resume a Caribbean training cruise that started May 15 and was halted just before midnight Tuesday off the Florida coast when a Marine EA-68 Prowler came down off center and smashed through rows of parked planes. Fourteen men-11 Navy men on deck and three Marines on 'the Prowler-were killed, 48 were injured and some 20 planes were destroyed or damaged. Meanwhile, the Navy has started two separate investigations into the ac- cident. One investigation board, made up of people from the ship and the air wing with a couple of outside officers, is trying to determine exactly what happened and why, and how to preventsimilar tragedies. In addition, a legal investigation will try to determine who, if anyone, was at fault and if any charges are warranted, said an Atlantic Fleet spokesman.

WASHINGTON (UPI) - A drug company lavishly entertained two Food and Drug Administration officials, buying them expensive dinners and making sure one of them always won at the horse track, former employees told Congress yesterday. "It looks like bribery," Rep. Bob Whittaker (R-Kan.), said of the revelations that came out during a hearing by the House commerce over- sight and investigations subcommittee. REP. ALBERT Gore (D-Tenn.), called it "a systematic attempt to corrupt FDA officials." The subcommittee has been in- vestigating since last year a 1978 FDA decision to ban the use of salt tablets as a means of disinfecting contact lenses. The FDA has since lifted the ban, but while it was in effect, American con- sumers may have been forced to spend $500 million for sterilized saline solutions that are more expensive than the salt tablet method. TESTIFYING before the panel were former employees of the Burton-Par- sons Co., a firm that benefitted from the FDA salt tablet ban because it had a virtual monopoly on the saline solution market. The subcommittee released detailed expense account vouchers showing of- ficials of Burton-Parsons paid for trips to the race track, dinners, and-other en- tertainment for two FDA officials, microbiologist Mary Bruch and Dr. Ar- nauld Scafidi, an eye doctor. The vouchers showed dinners, some as high as $150 each, in such places as Las Vegas, Chicago and New York, and a $200 air charter to a race track in Nor- th Philadelphia. JOHN BRYOR, a former Burton- Parsons employee, testified that fellow employee Keith Whitham once told him Bruch alwayf won at the race track "regardless of what horse came in," because the company placed bets on all the horses and the owner of the firm handed her the winning ticket. Gore said it appeared Bruch "was, in effect, a guaranteed winner." Whitham denied it saying Bryer was either a liar or had a bad memory. Whitham said he personally tried to educate and inform FDA officials of what the company thought were too stringent standards for sterility in con- tact lens solutions. "I guess it was a little unethical," he said. Another former employee, Wallace Stirling, said he took Scafidi to dinner about 40 times, but denied the purpose was to influence FDA decision making.
