He has also written an article called "East European Models of Europe's Future," which will soon be published in the publication East Central Europe, put out by the University of Arizona.

The tentative title of Povolny's book is "East-West European Relations 1953-1980." The basic theme of the book is the "coexis'ence on the continent of Europe of two sets of countries which have historically been interdependent, which belong to the same culture and civilization but which today are separated by the difference in political regimes that belong to two different political blocks." He said there has been the repeatedly expressed hope since Stalin's death in 1953 that through increased cooperation on the economic and cultural front, at least a certain amount of rapprochement between Eastern and Western Europe would be possible. "My findings indicate that over the period of almost 30 years, this has been true in individual cases," he said. "But whenever the political rap-prochehment has reached a point when it would endanger or threaten the stability of the Communist rule in Eastern Europe, that process will be stopped by the East European RHYNER'S TRASH $.

Had the local forces not been able to contain the demonstrations, there is no doubt in Povolny's mind that the Russian troops would have taken over. "It's an overall Soviet policy not to allow any activities that would undermine the Communist rule," he said. "Also, there is the self-interest of the government leaders of these countries.

So in protecting their own interest, they also follow Moscow's party line. If they can't control their own people, then they are replaced." Unfortunately, he said, the events of the last year have proved that even in Poland, the police and the army are reliable instruments of control of the Communist party and its leaders." With many of Solidarity leaders like Lech Walesa being held under house arrest, jailed or driven into exile, the likelihood of a populist resistance to Gen. Jaruzelski's regime is remote, Povolny said. He said he was even surprised that the underground Solidarity leaders were able to convince as many people to take to the streets to show their support for the outlawed union.

By contrast, he said. Communist Czechoslovakia under the leadership of President Gustav Husak is one of the most subservient countries in Eastern Europe today." He describes Husak as "a hardline Communist." Husak has been in power since 1969, one year after the Russians invaded Czechoslovakia with a half million troops and overthrew the reformist regime of Alexander Dubcek. The Russians left an occupying force of 80,000 in Czechoslovakia.

In order to underscore the point that they would not tolerate any disturbances by "enemies of socialism," Polish and Soviet troops held S0 HORNS FOR RENT Per From Mo.

Monies Apply to Purchase BY BOB LOWE Pott-Creicent tfoH writer Recent demonstrations against Soviet domination in Poland and Afghanistan have much in common with the popular uprisings in Hungary in 1956 and in Czechoslovakia in 1968 that caused the Russians to invade those countries, according to a Lawrence University scholar who recently returned from a one-year sabbatical in Europe. "They are in substance very similar expressions of discontent of the Communist government," said Moj-mir Povolny, professor of social science and government at LU. "The people who were demonstrating found the system unacceptable." Povolny, 60, left his native Czechoslovakia in 1948, the same year that the Communists took over. He has a law degree from Masaryk University in Czechoslovakia and a certificate in international relations from the University of Paris. He obtained his doctorate in international relations from the University of Povolny has taught at Lawrence since 1958.

He has never been able to return, to his native country and his brother, the only remaining relative he has in Czechoslovakia, has been denied a visa to visit him. Povolny spent a year in London doing research on a book on East-West European relations since the death of Joseph Stalin, who ruled the Soviet Union with an iron hand for nearly 30 years (1924-1953). In the course of his research, he also visited a number of other countries on the Continent, including France, Switzerland, Austria, Cyprus and Italy. Povolny also had an opportunity to meet with some of his fellow Czech exiles, government officials, the news media and trade union organizers. He spoke at gatherings, the biggest in Royal Albert Hall in London before 5,000 people.

The rally was organized by Polish labor organizations in London. He said he met with representatives of the Polish Solidarity union, whose second anniversary demonstrations on Aug. 31 touched off riots in Lubin, Warsaw, Wroclaw and nine other cities in Poland. The disturbances led to at least three deaths, hundreds of injuries and several arrests. The union grew out of shipyard strikes in the Baltic seaport of Gdansk and became the first trade movement independent of Communist Party Contol in the Soviet bloc.

Prior to the imposition of martial law by Premier Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski late last year, the union inspired 16 months of labor unrest and social upheaval in Poland. "The demonstrations in Poland are not surprising in the sense that in the period of time of the radical supres-sion of the liberation movement, tensions are so pent up that on certain occasions they are bound to explode," Povolny said. Povolny said the only thing that surprised him in the Polish case was the fact that the native police and armed forces did not disintegrate as an instrument of control. "The Poles have an established reputation of being very nationalistic," he said.

"They are very patriotic and their willingness to sacrifice for a cause is almost romantic." To that extent, the developments in 739-9163 nHIttK 739-9163 1511 W.
