Kremlin confident of Poles WARSAW, Poland (AP) the Kremlin expressed renewed confidence Tuesday that the Poles could solve their own problems, and Warsaw authorities announced a longer list of rationed items. "The Soviet people are convinced that the Polish people, Polish communists, will manage, under the leadership of the Communist Party, to solve their complicated tasks and ensure leading the country out of crisis," Boris Aristov, Soviet ambassador to Poland, said. "It is absolutely clear that the main aim of attacks on socialism fs the undermining of the friendship between the Polish and Soviet nations, the weakening of the socialist community." Aristov addressed an audience of Poles and Soviet officials gathered in Warsaw's Theater Polski to celebrate the 36th anniversary of a bilateral friendship treaty. He repeated Moscow's accusation that NATO and the' United States were trying to revive the Cold War. and said.Westem "centers of diversion" were determined to "weaken socialism and disrupt the unity of our nations." Deputy Polish.Premier Mieczyslaw Jagielski told the Theater Polski audience Soviet Polish alliance was more important now than ever.

"The more difficult the international situation becomes, the more active the Cold.War forces become, the greater the significance of strengthening the Polish Soviet alliance and the unity of the socialist community," he said. "I should like to underline our gratitude for Soviet aid during the present particularly difficult period," Jagielski said. Aristov said "The implementation of mutual obligations under trade contracts" had been "considerably hampered" by Poland's economic difficulties. However, the Soviet Union was doing everything necessary to help Poland, he said, adding "it is no secret that, in many cases, this is being done at the expense of assets essential to our national economy." Later in his address. Aristov said "The forces of imperialism and reaction" were trying to "check the process of detente and resuscitate the Cold War," In "an attempt to justify the arms race, NATO hypocritically spreads" insinuations about an alleged Soviet military threat" that were "vulgar distortions of the foreign policy of the socialist countries," he said.

Polish Communist Party chief Stanislaw Kania, Politburo member Stefan Olszow ski, and Alexei head of the Soviet Polish' friendship society, also were In the crowd. PAP, also announced that that butter, flour, grain flakes and rice will be added in May to the sugar and meat already WASHINGTON (A) President Reagan, lobbying members of congress to vote for his economic program, wound up as an unscheduled telephone guest on a radio talk show Tuesday and assured listeners, "I'm feeling great and getting along Just fine." The president, wounded 22 days ago in an assassination told listeners of station WBVP In Beaver Falls, he was "most grateful for all the good wishes and the prayers that I've had and the messages from the people from all over the country." The president has not appeared in public since he returned home from the hospital April 11 and his voice had not been heard on radio or television before Tuesday. His impromptu radio conversation, which lasted about two minutes, came as the president stepped up his efforts to rekindle momentum in Congress for hiseconomic program. In addition to his telephone calls, he met privately with eight governors at the living quarters of the White House, all of whom later told reporters they support the administration's program of tax and spending cuts. "He looked very much himself," Gov.

Robert Orr of Indiana said afterwards. Reagan sounded like himself, as well, when he spoke by telephone with the Pennsylvania radio station. The radio appeal was ah unscheduled part of the president's day, and spokes man Larry Speakes said ij. came after Reagan attempted to contact Rep. Eugene Atkinson, to discuss the economic recovery program pending in Congress.

Speakes said a White House ODfiiator called Atkinson's congressional office in Pennsylvania so the president could speak, with him. But Speakes said the congressman was at the radio station at the time, being interviewed on the AM Connection Show, a call in program where guests field questions from the listening audience. When Atkinson's aide relayed the word to the radio station, the congressman immediately returned the call to the White House arid the president agreed to go on the air, according to Speakes. Reagan said he was calling to speak with Atkinson "because Easter recess will soon be over, he'll be back at "He's been most recep 1 tive, which proves that Democrats and Republicans can get along on things that are good for the country," the president said. Atkinson replied, "1 am supportive of it." HrnH iHfc'aiHnv Adult 25th victim in Atlanta killings ATLANTA (AP) 'A 23 year old black man who was asphyxiated and dumped nude into the Chattahoochee River was officially declared the 25th victim Tuesday in Atlanta's series of slayings of young blacks.

Public Safety Commissioner Lee Brown said the case of Michael Cameron Mcintosh, whose body was found Monday, was assigned to the special task force investigating the murders because of "similarities in his profile and that of some of the other cases." The task force also is' investigating the case of 10 year old Darron Glass, who McINTOSH has been missing since last September. An autopsy Tuesday revealed that Mcintosh, like 13 earlier victims, died of asphyxiation. His body was found a short distance from where the bodies of two earlier victims were found three weeks ago. Police said Mcintosh was unemployed and apparently lived alone. Unlike the previous victims, he had not been reported missing, they said.

Dr. John Feegel, associate Fulton County medical examiner, had recommended earlier in the day that Mcintosh be added to the task force list. "We have a body in the river, partially decomposed, black, albeit a little older than the ones before, but not much older no clothing, and again, without any overt cause of Feegel said. "I think this fits enough of the characteristics that it should be added to the task force list." Feegel, an autopsy Tuesday morning, said a lack of marks on Mcintosh's body prevented a positive ruling on the cause. of death.

But he told reporters it was "some type of probable asphyxial death, and we are going to classify it as an asphyxiation due to some type of suffocation." Thirteen of the earlier victims on the task force list also died of asphyxiation, and five of the 24 were found in rivers. Mcintosh's body was found Monday in the Chattahoochee River, near where the bodies of two earlier victims 13 year old Timothy Hill and 21 year old Eddie "Bubba" Duncan were found three weeks ago. Feegel said there were no signs of sexual mutilation riinai isc a 1 WEKIVA RIVER CRUISES" WtWVA QUEEN S.rJiwh.tU. nWwW 9 AM 13 Noon 1 3 ft MISS SEMINOLE 1 0 AM 1 1PM 4 fM.WSS OSCEOLA II toot (cfm: AdvM S3.00 CM 00 Op." 7 ConoM 7 50 tow loot HO 0O doy Twng Hookup IV. im $75 me.
