:egin government survives no-confidence votes
JERUSALEM (AP) Prime Minister Menachem
Begin's coalition government yesterday defeated four
parliamentary motions of no-confidence introduced by
oppositicin parties to protest thenew U.S.-Israeli,strategic
alliance!
With eight members of the 120-member Knesset absent,
Begin's Coalition defeated the measures 57-53. Two
members abstained.
In debate before the vote, Defense Minister Ariel Sharon
defended the pact against critics who say it sharpens Soviet-
Israeli frictions into outright confrontation but gets little
new American backing for the Jewish state in exchange.

Polish commandos raid firefighters' schoo
'By THOMAS W. NETTER
Associated Press Writer
WARSAW, Poland (AP)
Solidarity ordered a nationwide alert
and called its leaders into emergency
session yesterday after Polish
commandos stormed a firefightehs!
school, routed protesting cadets and
arrested nine unionists.
Solidarity leader Lech Walesa
ordered local chapters to await word
from national leaders before declaring
a strike, and cautioned them to be on
the guard for other police actions.
Solidarity's Warsaw chapter
considered a general strike call for its
900,000-member region, but said it
would await the release of Seweryn
Jaworski, one of the unionists seized at
the school.
No casualties resulted in the 90-
minute raid, begun when the
commandos jumped onto the roof of
the five-story building from a huge '
helicopter, and burst through 'ptreet
", evel doors at 10 a.m.
"It was non-violent and we ffered
no resistance to give them an xcuse,"
Gold one of the 320 cadets ousted after a
week-long occupation. "They didn't

Witnesses said about 500
commandos, backed by 4;000 to 5,000
police and army troops, were on hand
during the operation,
The cadets, who had sought civilian
status so they could be covered by a
new law on academic reforms, were
told to go home. But many defied the
order, and flocked to Solidarity union
offices.
The raid was conducted in full view
of the residents of the northern
Zoliborz district, suggesting that the
authorites wanted their new "get
tough" policy to be apparent to all.
As rumors spread like lightening
through the city, a crowd of several
thousand people converged on the
scene. When police took the cadets
away, the crowd whistled and jeered
derisively and shouted epithets at
police.
Solidarity worker guards, wearing
red and white armbands and carrying
bullhorns, worked furiously to calm
the crowd, and hours after the raid
assured the people that no cadets
remained in the building, or had been
beaten:
Critics say the accord does not provide for American aid
in case of an Arab-Israeli war, for stockpiling U.S. weapons
in Israel or for U.S. land maneuvers in this country like
those recently held in Egypt.
Sharon also gave the impression that the controversial '
pact, signed in Washington on Monday, had secret
provisions. The United States has denied this. Foreign
Minister Yitzhak Shamir told Israel Television he knows'of
no secret annex to the-agreement.
Fearing possible defeat . for the four-month-old
government, the rifling coalition had summoned home four
traveling ministers to strengthen its shaky parlianntary

$57.4 million aid
package possible
By DON WATERS
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) Some 26,000 federal
employees who have kept the nation's air-safety'
,system going despite the mass firing of striking
controllers four months ago are entitled to $57.9
million in special pay and benefits this fiscal year,
Congress was told yesterday.
Approval of the money "will fulfill a commitment
that this administration made to the working
controllers who honored their oaths of office (not to
strike) and have kept our air traffic-control system
operating both safely and efficiently," Deputy
Transportation Secretary Darrell Trent said.
Trent and Federal Aviation Administration chief J.
Lynn Helms presented their case to sometimes
critical members of the House Post Office and Civil
Service Committee.
• . ,While the panel considered the matter, at the White
President•Heagan promised AFL-CIO leaders
he will review his Mass firings of the controllers.
•
However, a later written notice from the White
House press office appeared to rule out any prospect
'that the 11,500 fired controllers would be brought
back to their old jobs: • •
tower andradar centers, 4,30 personnel at flight
service stations, 8,300(iC - ole who maintain
navigation aids and 350 test pilots.
The legislation also would exempt those employees
from the government-wide pay cap of $50,112"a year
and enable retired controllers to return to work
temporarily without loss of pension benefits.
Rep. William D. Ford, D-Mich., the committee
chairman, said he thought that singling out the FAA
employees for special compensation could cause
resentment by other federal workers who also have
special skills or "who work in stressful or hazardous
situations."
Ford also noted that the money far exceeded the $4O
million package that members of the Professional
Air Traffic Controllers Organization rejected before
Hearing in murder case continued

The hearing of a State College girl
charged with the murder of Sesto A.
Fabri, owner of Tony's Sub Shack, 484'

and no trial date has been set, the
Pike County Police Department said.

action.
But Trent and Helms said that long before the
walkout, the administration had planned special
adjustments for all employees directly involved in air
safety, not just journeyman controllers.
Ford and Rep. Rose Mary Oakar, D-Ohio,
complained at length that the administration had
delayed submitting the package for several months
and now wants it rushed into enactment before
Congress adjourns in mid-December. •
Trent said officials believed "it would not be
appropriate" to ask for the increases until after
proceedings to decertify PATCO as the controllers'
collective bargaining agent had been completed. This
did not take place until late October, he noted.
The Senate tacked the legislation onto a stopgap
spending bill last month, but it was removed after the
Township, Pike County, police said.
Multiple sledgehammer blows to his
head and body were the cause of
death, said County Coroner James
Martin.
Fabri operated a coffee concession
near Scranton before moving to State
College about four years ago when he
opened Tony's Sub Shack.
Cathy Ann Olswfski, 17, 2004 N.
Atherton St., was charged as an adult
parliament.
Sharon insisted the accord would put an end to Arab hopes
of destroying Israel with Soviet help.
"Israel is obligated to adopt all the measures necessary to
deter the Soviet Union from threatening its destruction
directly or indirectly," he said
In apparent references to unpublicized segments of the
pact, he spoke of "military cooperation, operative plans,
infrastructure preparations, military trade," and asked:
"Can anyone imagine that all these details can and should
be published in an open agreement?

with criminal homicide, two counts of
theft and unauthorized use of a motor
vehicle, police said.
Olswfski, who completed her junior
year in the State College Area School
District's alternative program earlier
this year, was arraigned last week
before Magistrate Carolyn Purdue,
Milford, and held without bail at the
State Correctional Institute at Muncy,

House refused to go along with that tactic.
Under close questioning by Oakar, Trent insisted
that the initiative for the tactic came from within the
Senate and not the administration, although he could
not identify the senators responsible.
The hearing also touched lightly on allegations sent
to the committee last week that the examination
grades of some controller trainees at the FAA
Academy in Oklahoma City, Okla., had been juggled
to keep them from flunking out
Ford noted that two committee staff members have
been sent to investigate, but Helms said his own
inquiry has concluded that "there was no
manipulation or attempt to manipulate."
The academy's director, Benjamin Demps Jr., told
the panel the problem has been traced to a
mechanical error caused by an automatic grading
system and corrections were being made.
Olswfski was apprehended by State
Police after she allegedly took $2OO
from Fabri and left the scene in
Fabri's 1974 Pontiac, police said.
Arthur B. Siegel, part-time Pike
County public defender, and John
Stieh, Pike County attorney, co
defense counsel for Olswfski, could
not be reached for comment. Pike
County District Attorney Michael
Weinstein also could not be reached
for comment.
Police have not said whether a
motive has been established.
