ania attempts to stem strike at Polish steel mil
WARSAW, Poland (UPI) New Communist
party boss Stanislaw Kania yesterday took his
message of • conciliation with firmness to
Poland's grimy industrial center of Katowice
where authorities attempted to head off a strike
at the nation's largest steel mill.
Kania's apparent bid for support came as
reports persisted of scattered strikes natiowide
and dissidents were attacked by the press for the
first time since the historic agreement between
the government and strikers along the Baltic
coast took the main punch out of the non-violent
Labor makes wage concessions
WASHINGTON (AP) Faced with
growing worker layoffs and
threatened plant shutdowns, many of
the nation's biggest union are
granting mid-term contract con
cessions to help some large but ailing
employers make ,it through the
recession.
Labor observers say the past year
has seen an unprecedented number of
wage concessions by unions
representing some of the best paid
blue-collar workers. They see it as a
sign of unions' growing concern about
an uncertain domestic economy
challenged by increased competition
from abroad.
"It reflects a growing awareness of
some unions that a job at $8 an hour is
better than no job at $lO an hour,"
said Nick Fidandis, an official at the
Federal Mediation and Conciliation
Service.
The Teamsters, the nation's largest
union, may provide the latest
example of wage concessions later
this month.
The union will sit down tomorrow in
Lance refuses private testimony

statement on Billy Carter's Libyan
affairs to Senate investigators
yesterday saying, "I don't intend to
'Mental hospital can be closed
HARRISBURG (AP) The state
should be able to close Retreat State
Hospital because there is no law
saying it must be kept open, an at
torney argued yesterday before
Commonwealth Court.
The Luzerne County facility is the
object of a long-running tug-of-war
between the state, which wants to
close it, and a coalition of legislators,
union leaders and patient
representatives intent on keeping it
open.
"There is no legislative mandate to
keep the hospital open," said
Jonathan Vipond, representing Gov.
Dick Thornburgh and the Welfare
Department.
"There has been no legislative
direction. There is no statute on the
books ... that Retreat State
Hospital may not be closed," he said.
The Welfare Department wants to
transfer Retreat's 150 patients to
other institutions, but is currently
under a court order not to phase out
the facility.
State we bill
HARRISBURG (AP) A Senate
committee chairman said yesterday
that an administration bill •purging
81,000 people from the welfare rolls
will not reach the Senate floor unless
it is rewritten to his satisfaction.
Sen. W. Louis Coppersmith, D-
Cambria , said he has 15 amendments
in mind for the bill, which would cut
off $172-a-month cash grants to able
bodied welfare recipients..
"There's no chance of the bill
getting out of the committee without
the amendments," Coppersmith told
reporters at at news conference.
"We're not gutting it .. . we're
refining it.
The major change Coppersmith
proposes would cut the cash grants to
persons between age 18-40. As passed
by the House, the bill pushed by
Republican Gov. Dick Thornburgh's
administration sets the limits bet
ween age 16-55.
Under his plan, Coppersmith said,
there would be about 18,000 fewer
people eligible for the monthly dole.
. workers revolt
The official news agency PAP briefly noted
that Kania, a relative ,unknown who replaced
ousted party leader Edward Gierek early
Saturday, met with party activists in Katowice,
in the center of the Silesia mining region.
At the same time, Foundry Minister Fran
ciszek Kaim met workers at the Katowice steel
mill, - the largest in Poland, in hopes of averting
another walkout there.
Workers at the foundry staged a 24-hour
"warning" strike Aug. 29 and threatened a
Chicago with trucking executives to
consider renegotiating its national
freight contract for the first time to
provide financial relief for companies
shaken by the recession and a new
law deregulating the industry.
Nearly 18 months ago, the union
struck for 10 days before winning a
three-year contract that provided
wage and benefit increases exceeding
10 percent a year for some 300,000
drivers and warehouse workers.
With between 23,000 and 60,000 of
those workers on layoff, the com
panies are now seeking to defer two
cost-of-living wage increases and to
obtain other concessions they say are
needed to keep the unionized industry
healthy and competitive with non
union firms that are rushing into the
trucking business.
Major contract concessions within
the past year have included the
United Auto Workers and Chrysler
Corp., the United Steelworkers and
Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corp., the
United Rubber Workers and
Uniroyal, Inc.
be abused, smeared and vilified by
well-orchestrated leaks."
' Lance entered a hearing room with
two lawyers, his wife and two sons,
but came out an hour later. He said he
had not given the requested
deposition because reporters were
not allowed in.
He said he is perfectly willing to
testify in public.
"There comes a time when a man
has to stand up for what he believes
in," the former budget director said.
Lance said he feared the Senate
judiciary subcommittee in
vestigating Billy Carter's Libyan
deals would leak portions of his
testimony to put a good light on the
probe and perhaps harm him in the,
process.
While tan'cd 'indicated 'he' hgrlitife'
intention of changing his mind, he
denied he had said outright that he
would go to jail rather than comply
with the Senate's request for a
private deposition. . '
He made clear he is bitter about
leaks that occurred during months of
federal investigations of.his banking
practices in Atlanta and his dealings
with a peanut warehouse once
operated by President Carter and
Billy Carter.
The department said the hospital,
which serves the mentally han
dicapped, is too expensive to run and
too old to provide the best care
available.
But Richard Kirschner,
representing the father of a Retreat
patient, accused the state of in
sensitivity and said transferring
patients could have dire con
sequences, including death.
"This case is being dictated solely
by ... economic expediency and
nothing else," he charged. "For
many of these people, Retreat is their
home. These people have their roots
there. They know no otheruniverse."
Vipond said transfers would in
volve "some disruption," but he said
patients do not have a right to con
tinued occupancy in a particular
institution.
"Is the hospital depriving patients
of life or liberty by transferring them
to another facility that may be more
appropriate?" he asked.
in jeopardy
Pennsylvania is one of the few states
offering across-the-board cash
assistance for people without jobs,
but capable of working.
Asked about the chance of getting
his amendments approved when the
committee meets Monday, Cop
persmith said, "It's probably a long
shot."
Another Coppersmith amendment
allows those already on the general
assistance rolls to continue receiving
their grant. He said on the average, a
person stays on the cash assistance
rolls for about six to eight months.
"All the people on general
assistance will be grandfathered in
under my plan," Coppersmith said.
"They won't be removed unless they
refuse to take a job."
Coppersmith estimated the savings
would be up to $75 million com
pared to a $96 million savings
estimated for Thornburgh's version.
He said the money would go to other
areas of welfare such as aid to
families with dependent children.
fullscale walkout yesterday unless the govern
ment met six demands.
A strike committe spokesman said Kaim had
approved most of the demands, such as con
struction of a foundry hospital, but it would take -
a few more days to settle the remaining issues.
One complication was the presence at the
foundry of Kazimierz Switon, an early free trade
union activist who is not a foundry worker. The
workers have demanded Switon not be arrested
as police have threatened.

Kania's trip to Katowice came a day after a
similar trip to Gdansk, heart of the wave of
paralyzing strikes that swept through Poland.
In Gdansk, newspaper reports said Kania
stressed the need for worker-party cooperation
and affirmed that authorities would honor its
agreement with, the workers, including the
formation of free trade unions, the strikers' No. 1
demand.
But he also warned that "wherever the
operation appears against the interests of the

Information about student services and
organizations was deleted from the 1980.81 edition of
thcPenn State Student Handbook to avoid spiraling
costs, said Raymond 0. Murphy, vice president for
student affairs.
Student life photographs were also excluded.
It: the information and photographs had been in

would have increased from $30,000 to $57,000, Murphy
said. Higher printing costs accounted for the price rise,
