Even Polish officials say openly that they listen from time to time. The Soviet bloc refuses to give visas to RFE-RL reporters so the stations rely on Western wire services and reports taken from East and West European newspapers and broadcasters for their newscasts. Some listeners telephone or write people in the West, who relay the information to the stations.

Already 12 short-wave transmitters in West Germany each have been increaed tenfold to 100 kilowatts. The stations, which have a $1.5 million electric bill annually, and 45 transmitters in Spain, Portugal and West Germany, would like to raise 11 more transmitters to 250 kilowatts. RFE says Romania and Hungary are the only countries that do not jam its signal. Jamming in Poland is erratic and may come from the Soviet Union, RFE officials say.

These U.S.-financed stations getting added attention these days. By DAVID MLN-THORN Associated Press Writer MUNICH, West Germany (AP) Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty have long been thorns the side of Communist leaders in Moscow and other Soviet bloc capitals. The appears sharper now with the East-West dispute over human rights. The two stations, housed in a rambling two-story building framed by trees in a downtown Munich park, report the human rights issue comprehensively. The U.S.

government-fi-Inanced stations beam programs -that include 10-minute newscasts in 22 languages every hour, all day, supplementing -government controlled informa- tion from the East with uncen-sored news from the West. "It's the only source for (full) information about what happens in Poland," a Warsaw I 1 i who requested 'anonymity told a Western re-" porter recently. "This round-; about way is necessary because -there is no press freedom in lour country." Much of the news this year has been about President Car-'- ter's support for East Bloc dis-' sidents and their petitions to Communist leaders to live up to human rights sections of the Helsinki accord of 1975. Signed by the Soviet Union, the United States and 33 other countries, the accord recognizes post-World War II European borders and pledges the signers not to interfere with the internal affairs of other But the new staffers have stirred up the stations' own i i-dispute over human rights, or at least about how to cover the issue. "Every time Carter says something on human rights, every time it comes up in relation to the Belgrade conference, very much of the Samizdat (Soviet dissident) writing we broadcast it," Starr says.

Sometimes I think we overdo it." Starr joined the stations last May. But Zygmunt Michalowski, acting director of RFE's Polish broadcasts, believes the stations should stress human rights even more. "We have an overwhelming body of evidence that news reports about human rights get things done," Michalowski says. He is a Polish emigre who has been with RFE since 1954. "Even (Nobel laureate) Andrei Sakharov said he owed his life to Western news reports about his struggle for human rights in the Soviet Union," Michalowski adds.

"Plenty of Soviet citizens aren't engaged in the human-rights struggle," says Starr, a former Moscow correspondent of the Chicago Tribune. "My concern is that we don't appear to be the voice of the dissidents to these ordinary Russian listeners." Two Associated Press reporters who traveled in Communist Eastern Europe recently had a chance to gauge some reaction there to the Western broadcasts. They found that ideology apart, some Eastern European leaders found the tone of the stations irritating, and some Western diplomats said several older announcers for the stations sounded condescending. "What I don't like about Radio Free Europe is that they pretend to be the voice of Poland," a Polish official said. But changes are being noticed by some listeners.

A 38-year-old doctor in Bucharest said he stopped listening to the Romanian Broadcast several years ago because he considered it propaganda. But he said he tuned in after a severe earthquake hit Romania last March and was pleased to hear the way the station had revamped its programming. RFE's Romanian division stayed on the air around the clock carrying news of damage and rescue operations. It also acted as a clearing house for telephoned messages between Romanians and their relatives in Western countries. Nearly 1,000 men and women many of them highly educated refugees from Eastern Europe work in Munich's hushed complex of studios, libraries and news desks to produce the programs of music, interviews and banned-book readings.

After CIA links were exposed in 1971, Congress began paying for the stations directly, with a budget this year of $52.7 million. U.S. officials said the CIA ties have been cut, but Moscow still hammers on that theme. "They continue to enjoy the management of both staff members of the CIA, former agents of the Gestapo (Nazi secret police) and Hitler's intelligence service (and) all kinds of renegades who have sold their homeland," Tass, the official Soviet news agency, said. The Tass attack came after Carter's request last April that Congress budget $22 million to boost transmitters for RFE-RL But the East Bloc dissidents and the stations have focused on the free movement of people and ideas.

"To me it is a fairly simple issue," says Frank Starr, director of Radio Liberty's Russian language service. He says he doesn't believe Moscow has grounds for claiming that the broadcasts are intruding on Soviet domestic affairs. "Radio Moscow broadcasts in English to the United States over a large part of the day, and a lot of other languages besides. So I don't see why we shouldn't broadcast to them in Russian." Radio Free Europe limits its broadcasts to Eastern Europe and claims a daily audience of 16 million in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary. Radio Liberty aims its programs at the Soviet Union, where it claims four million listeners a day.

The stations were set up in 1949 with secret financing by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency to encourage dissent behind the Iron Curtain. Broadcasts tended to be emotional and belligerent during the Cold War of the 1950s, but station officials say the aim is now to provide "objective, balanced information." The stations have been strengthened recently by an influx of new staff members, including emigres from the Soviet Bloc. "We now have a pretty good mixture of people who have lived in the West for 20 or 30 years and some who have just arrived," Starr says. "We have some broadcasters who worked for Radio Moscow and one of our best speakers, Julian Panich, was an actor on Soviet television and radio."

IfTH STREET sized kitchen, four generous bedrooms, Department of State which seriously limits its effectiveness." The Carter proposal would become effective if neither chamber of Congress rejects it within 60 legislative days after submission.

Officials said it will be submitted sometime before Oct. 31. Officials said that the plan provides that the USIA and the cultural affairs bureau would be under the "guidance" of the secretary of state but would have their own budget and ration. But officials said the VOA alone would be responsible for the content of its news programs. There was some skepticism within the VOA about how much the Carter plan will change things.

For one thing, the USIA and the VOA already are technically independent of the State Department. One VOA employe pointed put that current law specifically forbids policy makers from interfering with the VOA's news presentation, Under the planned reorganization, that employe said, there is concern that the secretary of state and his subordinates might attempt to take a more direct hand In the news that VOA transmits around the world. The head of the new agency is expected to be be John E. Reinhardt, the current USIA director. The independence of the VOA has been called into question in some recent news events.

During the final collapse of Vietnam and Cambodia, VOA reporters were told to tone down their accounts of the war to avoid panic in Southeast Asian countries. In reporting the Watergate scandal, VOA was criticized for allegedly ignoring aspects adverse to Nixon. In another incident, Charles Weiss, the VOA staffer in Jerusalem, ran into problems over his contacts with a representative of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Malcolm Toon, then U.S. ambassador to Israel, complained that Weiss should follow U.S.

policy and steer clear of the PLO. Weiss' superiors at VOA ordered him to follow that policy in the future. Hodding Carter, the State Department spokesman, said Thursday that the VOA will remain independent in its presentation of news. However, he said the VOA has always been obliged to keep In mind U.S. policy on major issues.

1 WASHINGTON (AP) President Carter, rejecting a recommendation that the Voice of America (VOA) be made independent, plans to create a new government agency keeping the international radio station under the indirect control of the secretary of state. U.S. officials said Carter's plan will bolster the independence of the VOA's news operations. The VOA currently is part of the U.S. Information Agency (USIA).

The State Department sets policy guidelines for USIA employes here and abroad, where they are attached to Cmbflssi6s The Carter plan, devised by a State Department study group, rejects recommendations made in 1975 by a panel headed by former CBS president Frank Stanton to split the VOA away from the information agency. Stanton had argued that policy-making by the State Department should be separated from radio broadcasting and such activities as operating libraries and cultural centers overseas. During last year's political campaign, Carter said the VOA has been "entangled in a web of political restrictions Imposed by the 2 baths; central air. privacy fenced yard, carpeting, and recently decorated.
