Scattered showers teased parts of
Texas this week, but brought little
relief from dry conditions that have
plagued the state for months.
Scattered locations from East
Texas to the plains received a few
light rains, but the moisture did little
to quench parched ranges and crops,

Service at Texas A&M University re

and ranges in many locations resem

farmers will have little to harvest and
many ranchers will have only a skele

Solidarity members freed;
U.S. won’t lift Polish sanction
United Press International
Livestock sales continued to domi
nate the agricultural scene in Texas
the past week, particularly in the
Rolling Plains and in central, west
central and southwestern areas, the
serivce said. Despite heavy sales,
prices continued to hola fairly
steady.
WARSAW, Poland — Polish au
thorities freed 12 Solidarity mem
bers from jail Wednesday and said
they would release six promiment
organizers of the banned trade
union under an amnesty passed to
mark the 40th anniversary of com
munist rule.
Livestock not going to market re
quired feeding due to the lack of
pasture and range grasses, resulting
in a heavy demand for hay. Hay,
however, is also short in Texas this
year due to the continued dry
weather.
The 12 were freed from Warsaw’s
Rakowiecki jail, where top leaders of
the banned trade union are impris
oned.
Defense lawyers said authorities
told them the six union leaders —
Andrzej Rozpolochowski, Seweryn
Jaworski, Grzegorz Palka, Marian
Jurczyk, Karol Modzelewski and Jan
Rulewski, jailed under martial law in
December 1981 — would be freed
under the amnesty passed Saturday
by Parliament. Although the govern
ment said they would be freed
Wednesday, by late Wednesday rela
tives said they had not yet been re
leased. The six Solidarity leaders
were accused of turning the now-
outlawed trade union into an ex
tremist organization bent on under
mining Poland’s communistsysta

The pace of crop harvesting con
tinued to increase in southern,
coastal and central areas, the exten
sion service said.
Federal Reserve Chairman says
U.S. debts growing too quickly
Cotton and corn harvesting is ac
tive in South Texas while cotton,
corn and grain sorghum harvesting
is in full swing along the Coastal
Bend. A lot of grain sorghum also
has been harvested along the Upper
Coast and in Central and South Cen
tral Texas, and corn harvesting has
started in some locations.

Rice was also harvested in coastal
areas.
Crop irrigations were in full swing
in the Panhandle and South Plains,
while limited irrigation was active in
the Rolling Plains and West Central
Texas. Cotton shedded squares and
bolls in many locations due to the
dry conditions, and pecans contin
ued to drop due to lack of moisture,
the extension service said.
WASHINGTON — Federal Re
serve Board Chairman Paul Volcker
Wednesday warned Congress it
must do more to cut growing federal
deficits or face a “relapse into infla
tionary economic malaise.”
V’olcker also disclosed that top
federal officials last week made their
first fundamental policy change in a
year, deciding to cut down slightly
the supply of money to the economy
in 1985.
Volcker said the nation’s debts are
growing faster than the economy,
and that it is likely the 1985 deficit
will be larger than 1984’s.
While saying he was did not intend a
political statement of any sort, Vol-
cker’s warning contradicted Presi
dent Reagan’s remarks at a Tuesday
news conference that the deficit may
be overestimated and that a thriving
economy may yet generate enough
tax revenue to allow' borrowing to
shrink.
“It is, in the end, the choice be
tween building on the enormous
progress of the past to achieve sus
tained growth in a framework of
greater stability or a relapse into in
flationary economic malaise,” Vol
cker said.
Underlining his warning, the
Treasury Department Wednesday
issued its monthly budget statement
showing the 1984 federal deficit is
already $142.2 billion with three
months left to go in the govern
ment’s fiscal year.
During a break in his testimony
before the Senate Banking Commit
tee, Volcker told reporters he is less
concerned about a resurgence of in
flation than he was at the begiimi
of the year.
The headlong crash into
shortages he saw as an imnuoe
possibility has been postponed,!
said. “Interestingly enoueh, Ida

think it's worse," he said, largehi Christi

But Volcker said federal offc
agreed the inflation rate mays
gain a percentage point next year
though there will continue to k
improvement in the unemploymc
rate and an economy growing i
. slower rate.
The most likely factor that cod
spoil the pleasant outlook, he i»i
cated, would be a marked dedint
the value of the dollar on foreign
change markets.
