Walsea wins
Peace Prize
OSLO, Norway — Lech Walesa,
leader of Poland's outlawed
Solidarity labor movement, was
awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on
Wednesday for his fight on behalf
of the "unconquered longing" of
all people for peace and freedom.
Walesa quickly said he would
give the approximately $190,000
award to Poland's Roman Catholic
Church, which has been
outspoken in its support of the
labor movement.
Polish authorities did not say
whether they would permit
Walesa to leave Poland to accept
the award, and the labor leader
said he was considering sending a
relative in his place. Soviet dissi
dent Andrei Sakharov, the only
other Peace Prize laureate from
the East bloc, did not accept his
award because he feared he
would not be allowed to return
home. His wife, Yelena Bonner, at
tended on his behalf.
In Warsaw, deputy government
spokesman Andrzej Konopacki
charged that the award was
politically motivated and said the
Peace Prize "used to be a mean
ingful award. Now it is devalued."
The Norwegian Nobel Commit
tee said Walesa had made his con
tribution "with considerable per
sonal sacrifice to ensure the
workers' right to establish their
own organization."
Watt faces
party vote
WASHINGTON — Senate
Republican leaders dealt embattl
ed Interior Secretary James Watt
another setback Wednesday by
suggesting Watt resign or face a
"very, very strong" vote of no
confidence from his own party.
The GOP senators held a closed
door caucus Tuesday and said
Wednesday that a consensus had
emerged that Watt should resign
because Republican support for
him was far less than had been
previously guaged.
“There's a very, very strong feel
ing that Secretary Watt should
leave," Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan„
said.
Assistant Republican Leader Ted
Stevens of Alaska, a frequent
defender of Watt and his policies,
conceded "an increasing number
of (Republican) members . . . are
of the opinion that a change will
ultimately have to be made."
But Pres. Reagan said in an inter
view Wednesday that Watt "has
done a fine job” and a "stupid
remark" didn't merit his removal.
And Douglas Baldwin, Watt's
chief spokesman, said the
secretary continues to believe he
is an asset to the administration.
Land appeal
turned down
SALEM — The Oregon Court of
Appeals today turned down a re
quest that it prohibit further
development or other land use
decisions by officials of a central
Oregon town formed by followers
of an Indian guru.
The court said the request by
1000 Friends of Oregon for an in
junctions against officials of Ra
jneeshpuram is premature until a
final ruling is made on whether
the city was legally incorporated.
In a separate lawsuit, Wasco
County Circuit )udge |ohn
lelderks last week issued a tem
porary order blocking construc
tion of any new structures that
couldn't be removed without per
manently damaging the land.
The Court of Appeals decision
doesn't directly involve that suit,
although lelderks' ruling even
tually could be takens to the ap
peals court. He hasn't decided yet
whether to make his order
permanent.
The appeals court decision is
related to a third suit in which the
land use watchdog group is
challenging procedures used to
form the city inhabited by
followers of Bhagwan Shree
Rajneesh.
The Court of Appeals said it
doesn't yet have authority to
decide whether further land use
actions should be blocked
because the issue of whether the
city was formed illegally hasn't
been settled.
Greenpeace
strikes plant
LINZ, Austria — Greenpeace en
vironmental activists
demonstrated Wednesday at a fac
tory that used to produce dioxin,
but angry workers broke up the
protest as the demonstrators tried
to block the plant's gates with
mock drums of the deadly
chemical waste.
The demonstrators were pro
testing the impending return of
barrels of dioxin that had been
shipped abroad for disposal, but
were being sent back to the
Chemie Linz plant because the
disposal contractor backed out.
