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.

ford airport for 2',2 months.
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. Because

ideology and there is little
Communist influence in the
country.

country, backward and purely
agricultural at the start with
tit nrnrflirtinn of lute and COt-
lon. has made great strides to
ward a balanced economy wun
