WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Mik
hail S. 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,

MOSCOW (AP) — The Soviet
Writers’ Union has voted to establish
a museum honoring Boris Paster
nak, who was expelled from the or
ganization after “Doctor Zhivago”
appeared in the West. 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.

tomarily follows the wishes of a con
gress, would act on it.
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.

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

Wheat surplus adds to U.S. trade deficit
WASHINGTON — The na

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.

An Open Letter
In Appreciation
of
KATHY STAMM
B)
We, the undersigned, being of stout heart and
dubious sanity take pen to paper, or in this case ink
to newsprint, to express our admiration of and
respect for Kathy Stamm.
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.
