Gorbachev praised Polish leaders Monday for their “unbend ing defense” of communism in crushing Solidarity, and he accused the West of using the turmoil to fo ment unrest in Poland. The Soviet leader’s comments in a speech to the first Polish Communist Party congress in five years were be lieved to be the Kremlin’s most de finitive statement on the decision to impose martial law in December 1981 and suppress the Soviet bloc’s first f ree trade union. Gorbachev called the contest be tween Solidarity, born during the la bor unrest of 1980, and Gen. Woj- ciech Jarukzelski’s government a “struggle for the existence of social ism itself in Poland” and a lesson for other East European countries. He said the Polish crisis was not a “protest of workers against social ism” but “a protest against distor tions in socialism” and demonstrated the dangers to Communist parties of losing touch with workers. “It revealed the whole complexity of the contemporary competition be tween the two systems,” he said. “Threatening the socialist system, at tempts to undermine it from the outside, tearing one or another country from the socialist alliance signify a threat not only to the will of nations but also to the entire postwar order, and ultimately, to peace.” In an apparent reference to the imposition of martial law, Gorba chev praised the Polish authorities for holding “back the attack by the enemies of socialism with their own forces.” In the strongest endorsement he has given to a Soviet-bloc leader since gaining power in March 1985, achev de lot to its outstanding leader, Wcr ciech Jaruzelski.” He praised the general for li r “energy and political thoroughnesii. farsightedness and ability to findsoS lutions to very complex probbiJ for his unbending defense of theicl terests of his nation, the causeof»| cialism.” Gorbachev declared: "Poland owes a After 16 months of worker unref] and repeated threats of Soviet intei vention, Jaruzelski imposed mart law and crushed Solidarity, whit: later was outlawed.

He died in of ficial disgrace in 1960. Poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko told a news conference Monday that he hopes “Doctor Zhivago” will be pub lished in the Soviet Union. It has been banned for its sympathetic por trayal of Russians who opposed the 1917 Bolshevik revolution. The decision to acknowledge Pas ternak, who retained the devotion of his Soviet readers despite official dis approval, was one of several taken at a Writers’ Union congress last week that could indicate a trend toward some liberalization.

It seems unlikely that the congress would accept such a proposal unless it was conf ident of Communist Party approval. Yevtushenko said he gave last week’s congress a letter signed by 40 colleagues who want a Pasternak museum established. He said the delegates approved the letter and the union administration, which cus- Pasternak was barred from ac cepting the 1958 Nobel Prize for Lit erature. He was expelled from the Writers’ Union and died in his coun try house at Peredelkino outside Moscow. His family maintained the ram bling, two-story home as a museum for a generation, including Paster nak’s study and a table around which literary and artistic greats had gath ered. The writer’s son Yevgeny lost a two-year court battle in 1984 against the union, which owns the house, and it was stripped bare that Octo ber. It was not certain whether "Doc tor Zhivago” would be published here, but Yevtushenko made clear that he favors it. Korotich said the book "isn’t very revolutionary, and I guess it is very logical to publish it.” Cultural officials suggested at a news conference four months ago, however, that the novel would not be issued in the Soviet Union. ov la/J World Briefs 1 in 10 disabled over 85 lives alone WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly one in 10 of America’s oldest residents lives alone de spite being hampered by disabil- cent of them cope with life by themselves despite being dis abled.

New home sales plummet 11.6 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — New home sales fell 11.6 percent in Mav, the biggest decline in more than two years, the government reported Monday, with the set back attributed to rising mort gage rates. The Commerce Department said new single-family homes were sold at an annual rate of 764.000 units in May followinga 5.7 percent April sales decline. The decline in sales, the stee pest since a 13 percent plunge in January 1984. was widespread around the country. Wheat surplus adds to U.S. trade deficit WASHINGTON — The na tion’s merchandise trade deficit widened to S14.2 billion in May from $12.1 billion the month be fore, with agricultural imports surpassing exports for the first time in more than two decades, the government said Friday. Agricultural trade has tradi tionally been one of the few cat egories in the trade report to con sistent ly show strong U.S. surpluses. Friday’s Commerce Depan- ment report showed that, once again, the turnaround in the trade deficit expected from a weakening U.S. dollar has yet to materialize.

This woman, for reasons as yet undetermined by mere mortals, is willing to be seen in public with/ three Former Students of questionable character. Even more unfathomable than her willingness to be seen at large with these people is her inclination to give up her infrequent and precious free time to be with them and therefore enrich their lives. Thus, we the aforementioned trio, take this opportunity to publicly express our respect for, our love of, and our pride in her. We are confident in her ability to not only perserve but to triumph. We are behind her completely if for no other reason than if we were in front of her we would have to take her tests and then she would never pass.
