Ex-leaders ‘not true ’ to Poland
Communist party purge over
United Press International
WARSAW, Poland — Communist
party First Secretary Stanislaw
Kania says the purge of the Com
munist Party for corruption is over
despite a widespread clamor for a
more radical housecleaning.

tral Committee also said it wants to
call ousted party leader Edward
Gierek for questioning about Po
land’s economic problems. Gierek is
recovering from a heart attack.
“Comrades have left who have
failed,” Kania said in closing a
marathon full meeting of the Central
Committee Monday in which six for-
mer Politburo members were
bounced from the committee.
The six, who lost their Central
Committee posts, were blamed for
policy mistakes that led to Poland’s
present economic crisis of mass fore
ign indebtedness and a meat shor
tage.
Kania suggested that the ousted
officials may find forgiveness in fu
ture if they recognize their mistakes.
But he said there would be no for
giveness for “those who were not

— a clear reference to the former
head of Polish television, Maciej
Szczepanski, and his assistant, who
also were ousted from the Central
Committee because of allegations of
corruption on a gigantic scale.
Kania made no mention of a furth
er purge despite a widespread cla
mor in the meeting for a rooting out
of corruption in the leadership.
Political analysts said the meeting
failed to achieve unity within the
deeply divided party.
Reformists and old guard com
munists around Gierek argued for
two days and a night, but the refor
mists failed to win approval for more
than minor changes.
Sources at the meeting said the
Gierek people fought hard, and one
speaker described them as “bad
actors” who couldn’t be made to
leave the stage.

The 116 Central Committee mem
bers and 128 alternate members
were under pressure from two direc
tions. On one side were the Rus
sians, clearly getting more impatient
with Poland’s turmoil. On the other
were the aggrieved Polish workers,
who have flocked by the million into
independent trade unions and who
showed their new strength with an
impressive one-hour strike on the
eve of the committee meeting.
The best-known of the six men ex
pelled from the committee for eco
nomic mistakes was former Prime
Minister Edward Babuich. Another
former Premier, Piotr Jaroszewicz,
who was equally responsible for eco
nomic policy, was not censured.

SINGAPORE — Singapore, which prides itself on
being a gourmet’s paradise, is under culinary assault.
Singapore is known throughout Asia as an eater’s city
because of its exotic blend of Chinese, Indian and Malay
residents who have kept alive their distinct gastrono-
mical traditions.
Now American fast food companies are investing mil
lions of dollars in Singapore, and fast food restaurants
are popping up all over the island nation.
A & W Root Beer, which symbolized Saturday night
at the drive-in for a generation of Americans, now has
eight outlets scattered through the Lion City. It plans to
build four more by the end of 1981.
Kentucky Fried Chicken opened here in 1976 and
now has 11 Singapore branches. It will add two more by
the end of the year.
McDonald’s brought its hamburgers to Singapore last
October and now operates three establishments.
Pizza Hut started business recently through a local
fast food operator. Pizza Hut Vice President Joseph
Flynn said the chain plans to open another outlet before
the end of 1980 and two more by the end of 1981.
“Fast food business in Singapore is expanding very
rapidly,” Flynn said. “Whenever a fast food operator
enters the market, awareness of fast food is reinforced. It
is more complementary than competitive.”
Singapore’s fondness for American fast food is part of
the nation’s increasing Westernization. Prime Minister

Reagan certain to carry state

United Press International
INDIANAPOLIS — Ronald
Reagan should carry Indiana easily
Nov. 4. The question is whether Re
publicans also will be able to knock
off a pair of Democratic congression
al powerhouses. Sen. Birch Bayh
and Rep. John Brademas, at the
same time.
All the polls show Reagan winning
and all the signs indicate the veteran
senator and the House Democratic
whip are in very tight races.
Dr. Dennis Nicholas, Reagan’s In
diana chairman, says, “He always
goes well in Indiana. What he stands
for is what the majority of Hoosiers
stand for.”
Reagan defeated incumbent
Gerald Ford in the 1976 Indiana
primary. He has made several early
campaign appearances, while Presi
dent Carter hasn’t shown up.
Bayh says Carter would do better
to campaign in states where he has a
chance of winning. Lyndon Johnson
in 1964 and Franklin D. Roosevelt in
1936 were the last Democrats to car
ry Indiana.
Independent John Anderson also
has skipped Indiana for states with
more than Indiana’s 13 electoral
votes. Anderson’s staff hope his pre
sence on the ballot will cause a larger
than usual turnout of young voters.
The spotlight is on Bayh, who has
three terms under his belt and ex
pects to win a fourth in a squeaker.
He has predicted his opponent,
three-term Rep. Dan Quayle, R-
Ind., will pick up 49 percent of the
vote. Quayle, buoyed by a Market
Opinion Research poll showing him
trailing the incumbent by only 4 per
centage points, sees himself pulling
ahead to be the Nov. 4 victor.
Another tight fight involves
Brademas, seeking a 12th term rep
resenting northern Indiana’s 3rd
District, and Republican challenger
John Hiler, 27, a businessman.
