WARSAW, Poland — Tens of
sands of coal miners returned to
pits in Silesia Thursday and the
irnment announced price con-
)ls on everything from bread to
I'ision repairs in an effort to halt
■spread of worker unrest.
[There was no word on walkouts
listing in several other Silesian
mines and factories around
|>wiee and Czestochowa despite
[settlement ending strikes by
than 100,000 Silesian miners
ji Wednesday.
At the Manifest Lipcowy mine in
peine Zdroj, headquarters of the
les, 1,800 miners filed back to
their jobs at 6 a.m. for the first time
since last Friday, when they struck
in sympathy with the shipyard work
ers of Gdansk.
Poland’s official PAP news agency
said the Manifest Lipcowy workers
were expected to dig 11,000 tons of
hard coal Thursday from the veins
deep underground near the Czech
border.
In Warsaw, the government pub
lished the first details of a proposed
new set of price regulations designed
to control the cost of living and ease
workers complaints about inflation.
The new regulations, which must
be approved by Poland’s Sejm (Par
liament), would require government
permission for any increase in the
price of 47 basic food items, includ
ing bread, meat, fish and vegetables
and 56 industrial articles.
The proposed list of controlled
prices would include public trans
port fares, postage, rents and fees for
services such as television repairs.
The Sejm will meet Friday. PAP
said Premier Jozef Pinkowski will
offer a program “for a fundamental
remodeling of the government’s
work, with an eye to lead Poland out
of the present difficult situation, re
move the sources of social discontent
(and) bring the economy and public
life back to normal.’’

In another measure aimed at con
trolling Poland’s economic difficul
ties and consequent worker unrest,
the government has been assemb
ling a package of financial aid from
the socialist countries of Eastern
Europe, especially the Soviet
Union.
“The U.S.S.R. was, is and will be
Poland’s No. 1 partner in foreign
trade and international economic re
lations,” First Deputy Premier
Mieczyslaw Jagielski said Wednes
day night in a statement issued
through PAP. “These are obvious
truths. Nobody, with the exception
of a handful of opponents of social
ism, undermines or questions
them.”
Jagielski, who disclosed the Rus
sian contribution in the PAP state
ment, said the new hard currency
loan would be used to supply Po
land’s chemical and metallurgical in
dustries.

The speaker of the Iranian Parlia
ment denounced Britain Thursday
for jailing Iranian demonstrators,
accusing it of “spinelessness.”
Parliament speaker Ayatollah
Hashemi Rafsanjani read to the Con
sultative Assembly a letter from Ira
nian students jailed in London and
said Britain’s attitude showed it had
become an American satellite.
“I do not understand how the Brit
ish tolerate such an imposition,” Raf
sanjani said. “We did not expect such
spinelessness. I warn Britain that if
this attitude continues she must not
expect such injustices to remain un
answered by us and our friends
throughout the world nor must she
think that her interests in the world
will not be jeopardized. ”
A British Home office spokesman
says 46 Iranians still are held in cus
tody following their arrest during
student demonstrations last month.
One has been remanded awaiting
trial, another is serving a short sent
ence and will be released. The other
44 have been convicted by the courts
and are awaiting deportation.
Tehran Radio reported firing
squads executed nine people, in
cluding six convicted of setting a fire
that killed more than 400 people in a
movie theater in Abadan in 1978.

One Afghan source said the new

The Soviet troops have been com

The Afghan source, who returned
from fighting in eastern Afghanistan
recently, said he heard the Soviets
also withdrew a “large number,
perhaps the remainder” of soldiers
native to the Central Asian Soviet

Frequent reports from Afghanis
