Polish Comnittee

WARSAW, Poland (AP) - Com-
munist Party chief Stanislaw Kania
and his top aides were branded in-
capable of resolving the Polish crisis
at a stormy Central Committee
meeting yesterday that pitted foot-
stomping, pro-Soviet hardliners against
moderates favoring reform.
The attack was viewed as a call for
Kania and his aides on the Politburo to
resign. The 11-man Politburo called for
a vote of confidence, and the Central
Committee began debating the issue.
Kania said Politburo members should
quit if they failed to get at least 50 per-
cent of the committee's votes.
KANIA AND his aides were attacked
by Tadeusz Grabski, a hardliner on the
Politburo, at the Central Committee
meeting. The session was held in
response to a Soviet call for cracking
down on Solidarity, the first union free
of party control in Communist Eastern
Europe.
Kania opened the meeting Tuesday
with a vow to curb unrest. But he also
pledged to continue, reforms begun
when he took over from Edward Gierek.
at the end of the summer strikes that
gave birth to Solidarity, which sent
shockwaves through the Soviet bloc and
led to mass shakeups in the government
and party. The current premier, Gen.-
Wojciech Jaruzelski, is the third in 10
months.
"The Politburo for some months has
not been a consolidated, cohesive
leading team," and "in its present
composition and under the leadership
of Kania is unable to lead the country
out of the crisis," the official PAP news
agency quoted Grabski as declaring.
GRABSKI SAID during the past two
days of debates that speakers
repeatedly offered motions for a vote of
no-confidence in the Politburo and ex-
pressed doubts whether it could con-
tinue preparations for an emergency
party congress called for mid-July.
Other speakers said there had been
motions to postpone the long-awaited
party congress despite Kania's
statement that it should go on in July as
planned. The congress is widely expec-
ted to debate and enshrine political
reforms taken since last summer's
strikes.-
Mieczyslaw Rakowski, a deputy
premier, said that postponing the
congress would be "opening the door to
decay of the party and confrontation."
Kania had promised ina speech to the
committee Tuesday to rein in the in-
dependent labor movement Solidarity
and reformers within his party.
Today

269 American Indians, Eskimos, or Aleuts, and 1858 others. In addition, the
breakdown showed there were 2249 residents of Spanish origin.
Family tradition
Jim Junker's newborn daughter arrived in the car on the way to the
hospital and Junker helped - just as his father helped delived him 29 years
ago. "It seems to run in the family," Junker said. Junker and his wife, Susan
were driving to St. Clair Hospital last week when she asked Junker to stop
the car at the side of the road. As the Junkers' 1-year-old daughter, Melissa,
watched from the front seat, Mrs. Junker gave birth to a 7-pound baby on the
back seat. "Mainly, all I had to do was hang onto it. My wife did all the rest,"
Junker said. After the birth, the Junkers drove to the hospital. Mother and
daughter, Rebecca Theresa, are doing fine and both were released from the
hospital Sunday. On July 19, 1952, as Tom Junker drove toward the hospital,
his wife asked him to pull over. Their son, Jim, made an earlyappearance
shortly after. Q
