4 73rd Year - No. 71 Good Morning! ItV Saturday, December 6. 1980 16 Pages - 25 Cents Soviet bloc gives Poland time to settle labor unrest Prom our wire services MOSCOW The leaders of the Sovi et Union and its Eastern European al lies expressed confidence Friday night that Poland would overcome its crisis and that its workers would " assure the country's development along the so-cialist path" The declaration, issued by Tass, the official Soviet news agency was the first official indication of the summit meeting, one that took place Friday in Moscow in total secrecy Not until late Friday afternoon more than 24 hours after the leaders began arriving here did the first word of the emergency session begin to leak out Western officials had various the-ories about the meeting Most said that the Polish government seemed to have won a breathing space o- o- m Moscow, but many thought it might be short A senior diplomat said that this increas-es the pressure on Warsaw in a major way, and the Kremlin has left all its options open, including invasion " The Tass account also said that the Warsaw Pact nations were determined to continue the policy of detente and to adopt a constructive approach in the development of relations with the Unit-ed States, if the new American admin- - istration displays the same approach " Although the public language was conciliatory, especially m view of stern warnings to the Soviets from the West about the consequences of armed inter-vention in Poland, the circumstances of the meeting seemed ominous to Western analysts, and so did one phrase in the Tass summary " The Polish people," said the news agency in its report, ' can firmly count on the fraternal solidarity and support of the Warsaw treaty countries " The question in Moscow Friday night was whether that support would take the form of patience while the Polish leadership headed by Stamslaw Ka-ma, the first secretary of the Polish Communist Party, found ways of meet-ing the challenge posed by the indepen-dent trade unions, or whether it would take the form of an invasion designed to demonstrate ' socialist solidarity' and preserve Communist hegemony Western diplomats conceded that they were not certain Several men-tioned the most obvious recent parallel to Friday's extraordinary conference the meeting held in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia, on Aug 3 1968 It took place in the midst of efforts by Czech reformers within the party apparatus to ease the state's control of national life The communique issued after that meeting appeared to presage a com promise between Moscow and the dis sidents in Prague But on Aug 18 the Soviet Communist Party charged that the Czech leadership was losing con trol, and three days later, Soviet and Warsaw Pact troops invaded Czecho-slovakia That meeting involved the . same countries as those Friday, except that Romania did not take part in 1968 Nic- ol- ae Ceausescu, the Romanian presi-dent, was present for the conference on the Polish question in the Kremlin Fri-day, and his presence indicated how apprehensively the Warsaw Pact even its mavericks views the uphea-vals in Poland The sense of urgency with which Pol-ish leader Kama and other Warsaw Pact chiefs rushed off to Moscow when summoned prompted immediate spec-ulation of military intervention There was no evidence here howev-er, to suggest that an invasion was im-minent Although Western experts re-port that Soviet troops along the Polish border have been placed in a high state of readiness, Soviet and Western ( See POLES, Page 16) Cameras in courtroom stir debate Court to decide in Florida case By Aim Moore Washington reporting program WASHINGTON Florida is known as the Sunshine State But the U3 Su-preme Court may decide just how much sunshine will be allowed in the state s courtrooms Florida has allowed cameras In its courtrooms since 1977 But Noel Chan-dler and Robert Granger, two Miami Beach policemen convicted of bur glary, are contesting the provision, saying the cameras interfered with their receiving a fair tnal The Su-preme Court heard arguments on the case in mid- Novem- ber The prosecu-tion, represented by the Florida Attor- - Insight ne General s office, is supporting the media's presence in the courtrooms The state believes the officers received a fair tnal The outcome could have ramifica-tions in all 26 states that allow camera coverage in courtrooms and other states, including Missouri, that are considering admittance of the electron-ic media.
