"My hand felt like it was going to fall off, and I couldn't see anymore he said Polish leader blasts Solidarity WARSAW, Poland Polish Premier Wojciech Ja ruzelski bitterly attacked the in dependent labor federation Solidarity, the United States and its allies Monday and hinted that military control of Poland's mines and factories will continue for some time In his first address to the Sejm, or Parliament, since mar tial law was declared Dec 13, Jaruzelski said some restric tions on civil liberties could be lifted by the end of February, but only if there are no "illegal activities” directed against the state, Radio Warsaw reported Warsaw radio also reported gasoline sales would resume in February, under a strict ration ing system In Belgium, Common Market representatives meeting at their Brussels headquarters agreed to push for higher interest rates on Common Market export credits granted to the Soviet Union "Before the 13th of December last year, the stability and security of the state had been unhinged and the economy was crashing.” Warsaw radio quot ed Jaruzelski as saying "The threat of fratricidal war was in the air.” He said lifting of martial law would depend on the fulfillment of conditions which would secure a permanent safe and normal course of life, the smooth functioning of the economy ” He said Poland has a long way to go before martial law is end ed "The calendar must not decide the future of our country, and above all no external pres sure whatsoever must decide it,” he said in an apparent reference to Western demands tor the release of internees and restoration of civil liberties If no illegal actions develop, if unforeseen circumstances do not arise these restrictions (on civil liberties) will be lifted or considerably reduced, at any rate by the end of next month said Jaruzelski He accused the United States and NATO of indulging in psy chological propaganda aggres sion” against Poland especially by withholding food shipments In Washington. White House spokesman Larry Speakes said diplomatic reports contradict Jaruzelski's claim that repressive measures may soon be lifted He said Jaruzelski's speech seemed to be a jus tification of martial law, so it "surely could not be character ized as positive in its implica tions ” ((— ^ PRE-MED MEDICAL SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS Sponsored by the U.S. Air Force For information call - Ralph J.
