f Smear Campaign Against Polish Leader Launched Warsaw 'U.R) The die-hard Stalinist Communists he kicked from office have launched a smear campaign against liberal Polish Communist Leader Wla dyslaw Gomulka, according to reports today. The already tense situation was further intensified by an of ficial admission that anti-Semitism, which Gomulka has fought, was on the rise. Launched by 'Natolins' Informed sources said the anti Gomulka campaign was launch ed in his own constituency by the "conservative" element in the Communist Party, formerly known as the "Natolin" group. The group is led by Franciszek Mazur, who was ousted from the Politburo when Gomulko return ed to power last October. "Anti-social" elements were" also reported joining in the cam paign to smear Gomulka vir tually on the eve of the import ant general elections. Expected To Keep Seat Observers agreed there is lit tle doubt Gomulko would retain his seat in the Sejm (parliament) in the Sunday elections. His name tops the list of candidates in the northeast (Warsaw) dis trict of Praga. In addition his prestige was given a substantial boost by the Smo-Polish com munique issued after Red Chi nese Premier Chou En-lai's visit. Tne declaration, while recog nizing Russia's leadership in world Communist policy, sup ported Gomulka's stand for an "independent" Poland.

Role of Religion The speaker reported that 86 per cent of the Pakistan popu lation is Muslim and that reli gion plays a strong part of the affairs of the country.
