UWO IEOOS17 8A The Register WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1988 Statehouse hoists POW-MIA flag N.J. Poles salute fighters courage after they realized last week" that although a new law requires the flag to fly above the Statehouse, those who oversee capitol flags had not been told to order one. The oversight occurred although the state had already sent out letters to every TRENTON (AP) A flag commemorating American prisoners of war and soldiers missing in action was hoisted above the Statehouse yesterday, albeit a little late. The banner was obtained by officials town and county advising them they must get one of the flags and hoist it above their key government buildings. The flag raised yesterday was borrowed from the Department of Veterans Affairs and Defense.

However, Phillip Lang, assistant director of facilities for the Statehouse complex, said the flag is only temporary. He said the borrowed 3 feet high by 5 feet long banner will be replaced by one that measures 4 feet by 6 feet that was ordered last week and should arrive Wednesday. The flag was raised IS days after the law was signed. It took effect immediately. Nick Lorris, an Ocean County veterans activist who first promoted the measure, said he has received several telephone calls on behalf of communities who received the state notification but did not know where to obtain the POW-MIA I not be trusted to answer Polish concerns.

We definitely dont want Russia to forget that they have our support, Sliwinski said. They are oppressed, no doubt about that This showed the other satellite countries that it (resistance) can be done. Poles in New Jersey agree that the Roman Catholic Church offers a strong unifying force for workers against oppression. The Rev. Sigmund Peplowski, parish priest at Holy Cross Polish National Church in West Paterson, said Pope John Paul IIs words of support this week for strikers steeled them to resist the government.

Im sure his words are reported there, Peplowski said. Whatever he says, Im sure many Poles take to heart. He said he was shocked by conditions during a visit last summer to Warsaw. Many stores had little on the shelves and residents were forced to wait in line for hours to purchase food and other goods, he said. He added that his parishioners frequently send food and clothing to relatives in Poland.

Some of them are very active, Peplowski said. They follow the news from there out of concern for relatives that are still there. They want to do anything they can from this end. Edward Faszcziewski, head of the Polish Travel Bureau in Linden, said hes only had two trip postponemnts in the wake of the recent unrest ASSOCIATED PRESS RAISE THE FLAG State Capital employees are on top of the flag platform at the Statehouse in Trenton yesterday, raising the POW-MIA flag for the first time. The event takes place 15 days after Gov.

Thomas Kean signed a bill making it law to fly the flag. By HENRY STERN ASSOCIATED PRESS Polands residents will never surrender the fight for workers rights because Poles everywhere stand united behind the Solidarity banner, New Jerseys Polish community said yesterday. I think that the people have a lot of moxie standing up to the government in the conditions that theyre living in, said the Rev. Joseph Banach, parish priest at Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in South Amboy. But Banach said he wasnt sure if yesterdays end to the eight-day Solidarity strike in the Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk means the end to violence in the communist Eastern Bloc country.

Im afraid to say that its going to become something like an Israel where people get killed every day, said Banach. He was in Poland two years ago under martial law that began in 1981 to outlaw Solidarity. They have a lot of national pride and patriotism. A police raid Thursday ended a 10-day strike by steel workers at Nowa Huta in southern Poland. The Polish government never ruled out using force to end the shipyard strike in Gdansk.

Mike Sliwinski, who heads the General Pulaski Memorial Day Parade Committee in Linden, said Poles in New Jersey march every year to show U.S. politicians that the Soviet Union, Polands ally in the Warsaw Pact, can Officials stop Masons show HANOVER TOWNSHIP (AP) Firefighters turned out to be the showstoppers during a weekend performance by comedian Jackie Mason. Mason was into his second hour of jokes when fire officials halted the show, alleging the audience was too large for the catenng hall. The promoter, Chris Tanfield, said Monday he was told by officials at the Birchwood Manor that the seating capacity was 1,500, so he sold that many tickets. But Mayor Saverio Iannaccone said Tuesday that the promoter never filed the proper papers to get a permit A report by Hanover Township police said one person unhappy with his seat complained about overcrowding to a police officer directing traffic outside, and the officer called the fire department Fire Chief Robert Grabowski said the event did not have a fire prevention permit and there were more than 1,500 people in the audience.

He added that there were ushers and rolling chairs blocking the aisles. People were moving their chairs around to get a better view and as such were blocking the aisles, Iannaccone said. The fire marshal, Iannaccone said, did what he was supposed to do and asked them to stop the show. Tanfield said no refunds were planned, because Mason was booked to do a one-hour show. The comedian was performing longer because he was getting a good response from the audience, said Tanfield and Masons booking agent.

Art Mosko-witz. Defendant takes stand NEWARK (AP) A woman charged with trying to hire a hit man to kill her husband testified Tuesday her husband beat her like he was in combat breaking a chair over her back, smashing her head against walls and punching her. He told me he would bury me, said Geraldine Koven, a 45-year-old nurse and third-year law student. She took the stand for 90 minutes, sobbing and often barely forcing out the words in a silent federal courtroom. Her 18-year-old son Schuyler, who had testified for her, looked on with reddened eyes.

The government alleges the Wayne woman hired a hit man actually an undercover FBI agent last February to kill her discount-store owner husband Irvin in a staged car accident The prosecutor played six taped conversations in which she is heard allegedly plotting the details of the crime. Her lawyers contend Mrs. Koven was the victim of 24 years of vicious abuse by Koven, suffers from battered womans syndrome and was entrapped by the government. A psychologist testified that one of the conditions symptoms that Mrs. Koven showed was a weakened will and greater dependence on others.

Kovens attorney, Michael D. Mopsick, could not be reached for comment He was not home to take a message, said a secretary at his former firm.
