Poland:
Workers block Warsaw's main intersection in protest
By THOMAS W. NETTER
Associated Press Writer
WARSAW, Poland (AP) Bus, drivers and
truckers blocked Warsaw's biggest intersection
for the second day yesterday in a showdown with
the government over meat ration cuts. More than
100,000 workers in two other cities shut factories
and demanded more food.
Premier Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski appointed an
"anti-crisis staff" of civilian and military offi
cials empowered to make swift decisions on
distributing food and raw materials and "ensure
the necessary means for the population to sthive
the supply crisis," the government said.
Some people brought sandwiches, apples and
soup to the Warsaw demonstration and others put
flowers on bus windshields. Two cabaret comedi
ans told political jokes from atop a flatbed truck
under balmy, sunny skies.
The truck .was parked by a giant billboard
advertising "Man Of Iron," the film about last
summer's strike wave that launched Solidarity,
the first union in the Soviet bloc free of Commu-
nist Party control.
"As one can see, the Solidarity leadership does
not intend to stop the practices which cause a
further weakening of the Polish economy and an
increase in political tensions of the country,"
government spokesman Jozef Barecki said on
national television.
As the Warsaw protesters idled away the hours
at the police line blocking their route, warning
strikes took place in Czestochow and Radomsko,
industrial cities to the southwest. Workers held a
protest march and meeting in Kalisz, 120 miles
west of the capital.
Factory sirens opened and closed the one-hour
strikes in Czestochowa, where 100,000 workers put
down their tools, and in Radomsko, where 15,000
followed suit.
The workers in Czestochowa idled 300 factories
to protest local shortages of food, cigarettes and

BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) -•
Rioters in Roman Catholic neighbor

Sadat visits for first talks with Reagan
By R. GREGORY NOKES
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) President Anwar Sadat of
Egypt, ready to open his first talks with Ronald Reagan,
is bearing a proposal that the new American president
would rather not hear that the United States offer the
Palestinians a direct role in the quest for a Mideast
peace.
Sadat arrived last night to start a five-day visit.
Before leaving London on his flight to Washington,
Sadat said he will urge President Reagan to recognize a
role for the Palestinians, including the Palestine Liber
ation Organization, in the Middle East peace process.
Reagan was almost sure to reject that recommenda
tion.
"I think it is time that the United States drops the
condition of not contacting the Palestinians," Sadat said
at a news conference.
But White House spokesman David Gergen said "the
United States has not changed its position with regard to
the PLO."
Sadat will meet Reagan for the first time following an
official White House welcoming ceremony today.
drivers and other truckers staged a noisy proc
ession Monday.
The standoff at the intersection of Jerusalem
Avenue and Marszalkowska Street Warsaw's
main crossroads was to end today with a two
hour strike by the 950,000 members of the Warsaw
branch of Solidarity.
The strike today is over the same issues that
prompted protests across Poland for the past two
weeks: a one pound cut in the 7.7-pound monthly
meat ration of every Pole, chronic food shortages
and proposed price hikes.
The government, which announced an emer
gency program to deal with the food crisis Sun
day, says it does not have enough hard currency
to buy imported meat to fulfill demand.
Both the government and Solidarity, which
adjourned talks until tomorrow, appeared ad
amant not to back down from the standoff.
"It was all too easy to halt here," one burly bus
driver said. "Now the whole thing has assumed
face-saving and face-losing proportions."
','You are laughing, but this is not a laughing
matter," cautioned another. "I'm nervous be

Soviet ships are on maneuvers in the Baltic, and
there are fears that if the protests in Poland grow
too large, the Kremlin may intervene to crush the
labor ferment in its neighboring Warsaw Pact
ally.
"The Soviets appear to be making plans for a
large amphibious exercise in the Baltic area,"
State Department spokesman Ben Welles told
reporters in Washington. "At this time, we see no
signs it relates to Poland. We are watching it
carefully."
He noted that the Soviets' largest amphibious
ship, the 13,000-ton Ivan Rogov, was in the Baltic.
"There - has been a significant increase over the
past several weeks in amphibious lift" . with the
Soviet naval forces in that area, Welles said,

Fifty miles west of here, one of the
IRA's latest victims was buried. Two
thousand Protestants attended the fune
ral•in Omagh of John Smyth, one of two
police officers killed in an IRA landmine
ambush Sunday, the day Doherty died.
Presbyterian' clergyman Dr. Ronald
Craig denounced the guerrillas as "cow
ardly" and told the Omagh mourners,
"While these murders of law-keeping
officers continue, how can anyone talk
with hunger strikers or others who are in
our prisons guilty of murders and other
heinous crimes."
Indications have grown that some of

Besides getting to know one another, a major purpose
for both men is to explore ways of resuming the stalled
discussions between Israel and Egypt on autonomy for
the 1.2 million Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West
Bank and Gaza Strip. This is the major unfinished
business from the 1978 Camp David accords.
U.S. officials have said they will welcome Sadat's
views on how to resume the talks. However, his sugges
tion for involvement of the PLO is certain to be received
coolly by Reagan, who has said he considers it a
terrorist organization.
"It's hard to imagine President Reagan will announce
any change regarding the PLO," said one State Depart
ment official, who didn't want to be identified.
He said' Sadat probably voiced his opinion in London
because he wanted "to highlight some of the issues he is
going to be raising with the President."
The U.S. position on the PLO, as spelled out in a June 1
press memorandum, is: "The United States will not
recognize or negotiate with the PLO so long as the PLO
does not recognize Israel's right to exist and does not
accept" United Nations resolutions calling for secure
and recognized boundaries for Israel.
Strike could cause
future problems
By H. JOSEF HEBERT
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) 7 - The government
hopes its threat of dismissal will force air
traffic controllers back to work, but if that
fails the nation's air traffic could be disrupted
for a year or more while new controllers are
trained.
And while the airline industry vigorously
supports President Reagan's hard line policy
against the controllers, some industry
sources say such a long-term disruption could
be so costly that some carriers might go
bankrupt.
The Federal Aviation Administration said
about 12,400 of the 17,000 air traffic controllers
remained off their jobs yesterday despite an
ultimatum from Reagan that they return to
work by 11 a.m. today or be fired.
The FAA said 72 percent of regularly sched
uled flights were operating yesterday, al
though the agency continued to hold takeoffs
at the 23 major airports to 50 percent of the
normal number.
The airline industry said it was losing 270,-
000 passengers a day, although some airlines
reported unexpectedly empty seats because
passengers have been scared away.
FAA Administrator J. Lynn Helms said the
agency already has developed a plan to be put
into effect if there is a wholesale firing of
controllers. But Transportation Department
officials acknowledged the dismissals could
cause long-term problems at the FAA.
If 1,000 to 2,000 controllers are fired the
problems would not be severe, Helms told
reporters. But he added: "If you say 10,000

refuses to make any concessions.
But Jimmy Drumm, a senior official of
the IRA's political front, Sinn Fein, de

there's no question we're going to have diffi
culty and we're going to haVe difficulty for a
year."
It takes almost three years to train an
individual to bring him from the point of being
hired to becoming a journeyman controller
able to direct air traffic by himself.
Helms would not discuss specifics of the
FAA's contingency plan which is to be used if
thousands of controllers need to be replaced
permanently. •
He said, however, the effort would include
shifting some supervisors into permanent
controller positions, speeding up training
schedules, using military controllers, and
maintaining a reduced volume of air traffic.
"About 600 people could be moved in within
60 days," Helms said.
But administration officials acknowledge
that if anywhere near the number of control
lers on strike are fired the agency's training
problems could be immense and the disrup
tion of air traffic could become a normality
for years.
Transportation Secretary Drew Lewis left
open the possibility this week that the FAA's
air traffic operations would be operated by a
skeleton crew of controllers "for a year, two
years or three years" if most of the striking
controllers are fired.
He said yesterday that plans already were
under way• to examine ways to speed up the
training program and that 2,800 to 3,500
people a year could go through initial training
at the FAA's center in Oklahoma City. That,
however, would cover only the initial phase of
training, which has been followed by up to 2'/ 2
years of service as an apprentice controller.

But Sadat said Israel and the United States had
already recognized the Palestinians by arriving at the
July 24 cease-fire between Palestinians and Israelis on
the Lebanese border.
He said the cease-fire could mark a turning point in
the Arab-Israeli conflict and urged that the European
Common Market and the United States use it as the
basis for a broader settlement.
One approach, he said, would be to bring Israel and
the Palestinians together "for mutual and simultaneous
recognition."
Sadat said Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin
"doesn't say (the cease-fire) was between him and the
Palestinians. He says it was between him and Lebanon.
Okay, let it be between him and Lebanon. But the
substance remains that it is a cease-fire between him
and the Palestinians."
Sadat also said he would tell Reagan the United States
should continue acting as a partner in the peace process
as it did under President Carter.
Besides the peace talks, Sadat and Reagan are also
scheduled to discuss Soviet activity in the Middle East,
a major concern both for Egypt and the United States.

Supermarket savings:
Sales, coupons, generic brands provide key
If your pantry is crying out from the
depths of despair, and you're tired of
having to borrow a cup of lasagna from
your neighbor, don't panic I have some
price advice to 'guide you through those
crowded supermarket aisles in a breeze.
First, as this week's chart shows, com
parison-shopping in State College still
pays. Price differences between stores
on the items I checked ranged from just 4
cents hardly anything to get excited
about on canned pineapple slices, to 50
cents for an 8-ounce jar of instant coffee.
You can increase your savings lots of
times over by reading store circulars and
watching for sales. Then, you can stock
up on almost any item your little heart
desires provided, of course, you have
room to store it.
If, for example, you're just wild about
"Captain Zilch" brand cereal and want
to collect the whole set of charming
plastic mini-thugs that come inside the
boxes, you can purchase several boxes
on sale and add to your collection that
much faster.
If you're fond of foods that tend to be
expensive when eaten in large quantities
like steak or Fig Newtons, for example
you'd be especially wise to watch for
sales on these items. But beware of
getting carried away with the idea; meat
requires freezer space and fig bars won't
last forever on your shelf.
Once you've discovered the joys of sale
shopping, don't stop there. You can add
to your financial gains by purchasing the
generic brand version of some foods.
These items, which bear the notorious
ly conspicuous • plain black and white
labels, usually cost much less than simi
lar foods made by nationally known
companies, like General Foods or ICI
-
But the quality of generic foods varies
greatly. As a rule, though, you can ex
pect to find imitation ingredients in most
of these foods, which is why generic

For example, if you like something

you can almost always find some slightly
