4JII 31Eb43a 1atI Ninety-four years of editorial freedom Vol. XCIV, No. 27-S Copyright 1984 The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan - Sunday, July 22, 1984 Fifteen Cents Sixteen Foges Polish prisoners granted amnesty Walesa calls releases meaningless From AP and UPI WARSAW, Poland - Poland yester-. day announced an amnesty for jailed political prisoners to mark the 40th an- niversary of Communist rule, but Lech Walesa warned jails would be full again in a month. Walesa, leader of the now outlawed Solidarity movement, said "the am- nesty doesn't mean anything" without a. return of free trade unions. POLISH LEADER Gen.Wojciech Jaruzelski told a ceremonial session of Parliament the amnesty was a humanitarian gesture by the Com- munist government toward its op- ponents, but he warned that it would not change authorities' " severe judgement o f a nt i - state activities." The decree would free 652 political prisoners and 35,000 other criminals over a 30-day period starting tomorrow, said government spokesman Jerzy Ur- ban. About 55,000 criminals serving terms longer than two years will remain in jail. The amnesty also would include un- derground Solidarity figures who present themselves to police before the end of the year and sign written statements pledging to stop their op- position activities, officials said. Walesa, contacted at his home in Gdansk, said if all Solidarity activists were included in the amnesty it "cer- tainly will be a step toward national agreement." But he added, "Without trade union pluralism the amnesty doesn't mean anything. "If such opportunities are not created, if people are not able to engage in activity within sensible limits, then within one month's time we'll have a similar situation and probably even more in prison than there are now." BUT POLAND'S Roman Catholic primate hailed the amnesty and there was immediate speculation that U.S. sanctions against Poland might be eased.

Coleman and his alleged accomplice, Debra Brown, were arrested Friday without incident in the north Chicago suburb of Evanston. An anonymous classmate of Coleman tipped off police. The street-smart and beguiling Coleman and Brown evaded capture by hiding out in inner-city neighborhoods from Wisconson to Kentucky where they allegedly preyed on the young, the weak and the trusting. Coleman's capture ended a state of fear in communities across the Mid- west. See COLEMAN, Page 7 CAROL L.

Families mourn massacre victims From AP and UPI SAN DIEGO - Bearing flowers and the weight of a terrible mystery, the families of the McDonald's massacre victims gathered for a requiem mass and reflection on why 21 people perished. Msgr. Frank Aldasoro, pastor of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, said at a communal requiem Mass that to lose friends and family members to natural death "is difficult enough. But to lose husbands, fathers, mothers and children in such a violent tragedy creates even more tears, causes even more suffering." THE SMALL hilltop Roman Catholic church in San Ysidro, just six blocks from the McDonald's restaurant where James Huberty, 41, went on his murderous rampage Wednesday, was packed with 800 people while there were an estimated 1,200 others outside. Bishop Leo Maher, who conducted the service, told the mourners, "We must rely on the great hope of the Almighty. Those in mourning can be powerful because he makes them powerful." There were only five caskets at the church. Four contained bodies of Margarita Padilla, 18, Victor Rivera, 25, Maria Colmenero Silva, 18, and 9-year-old Claudia Perez. The fifth contained Jackie Wright Reyes, 18, and her 8-month-old son Carlos. The other victims will be buried later.
