t-16 5anta cruz iennnei iunaay, uec. 1 1, lyuj i. II World digest- Walesa: Nobel Prize honored solidarity's 'unnamed heroes tions" already expressed by President Reagan, but would be "happy to talk to him about anything he would like." Reagan has said the U.S. government would carefully consider Walesa's position and consult America's allies about lifting the sanctions. After the Polish government lifted martial law July 22 and released hundreds of political prisoners, the United States and its allies resumed negotiations on rescheduling the $25 billion debt Poland owes Western governments and started talks on allowing Polish fishermen in American waters.

Washington has made no public step, however, toward ending the freeze on new credits of sales of high technology to Poland. At an earlier impromptu meeting with reporters, Walesa said half-jokingly, "It is good that it happened like this I learned that my wife is very talented and can replace me at any moment." Walesa stood during the broadcast, and wore on the lapel of his beige corduroy suit his customary "Black Madonna" pin depicting Poland's holiest icon. Walesa repeated his pledge to donate his Nobel gold medal to the Jasna Gora monastery in Czestochowa, southern Poland, the site of the icon. He also said he would give his $192,000 cash award to a proposed Catholic fund to aid private farmers. Poland's state-run media paid scant attention to the Nobel ceremony.

Evening television and radio news briefly mentioned the ceremony and said the award "was directed against the process of normalization in the country." Before and after attending the Mass said by Jankowski at St. Brygida's, Walesa and several advisers met at lunch and dinner with the senior American diplomat in Poland, Charge d'Affaires John R. Davis. Walesa told reporters he would discuss his call for an end to U.S. economic sanctions, which were levied against Warsaw after the communist authorities declared martial law and suspended Solidarity two years ago.

Neither Walesa nor Davis revealed details of their talks. Davis said he carried "no official message" for Walesa other than the "general congratula Heavy combat for control in El Salvador, Nicaragua GDANSK, Poland (AP) Despite communist radio jamming, Lech Walesa heard a broadcast of his wife accepting his Nobel Peace Prize in Norway Saturday and said the award honored the "unnamed heroes" of the Solidarity struggle. He later told a crowd of 4,000 cheering supporters who attended a Mass in honor of Poland's Nobel laureates that the free trade union movement would eventually triumph. "I ask you for further prayers to speed up our assured victory," the founder of the outlawed Solidarity labor federation told the crowd at St. Brygida's Roman Catholic church.

British Broadcasting Corp. signals were blocked, but Voice of America and Radio Free Europe overcame the jamming, and Walesa listened to a VOA broadcast in the study of his friend and confessor, the Rev. Henryk Jankowski. Watched by a crowd of 50 reporters, Walesa occasionally brushed tears from his eyes as his wife, Danuta, 34, read his Nobel address. He grinned broadly when the name of their eldest son, 13-year-old Bogdan, was read on the air.

The boy accompanied his mother to Oslo and stood at her side during the award ceremony. "We should use peaceful means to solve our problems," Walesa told reporters, echoing the speech read by his wife. "The unnamed heroes, who have done the most work, are honored by the fact that my wife, who is not a Solidarity member, accepted the award," Walesa said. "This way," he said, I pay those who are not in Solidarity "what I owe them." "I do regret missing the ceremony, but I could not afford to take the risk," said Walesa, who remained in Poland out of fear the authorities would bar his return and because other Solidarity activists remain in jail. British bomb explosion LONDON (AP) A bomb exploded at the Royal Artillery Barracks at Woolwich in southeast London before dawn today, slightly wounding four soldiers and causing British authorities to tighten security around the country.

Police said the bomb, containing 15 to 20 pounds of explosives, was placed against the guardhouse wall as the some of the soldiers held a Christmas party. They said, in addition to the injured soldiers, a passer-by was treated for shock. The Scottish Nationalist Liberation Army claimed responsibility for bombing the barracks and warned "more will follow." The claim was made by a man with a heavy Scottish accent in a telephone call to Britain's domestic news agency, Press Association. The group, which seeks Scotland's independence from Britain, has been linked to more than a dozen letter bomb or letter bomb hoaxes in the past year. It claimed responsibility for planting a device under a podium where Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was scheduled to speak.

Cardinal attacks Marcos MANILA, Philippines (AP) Manila's Roman Catholic cardinal on Saturday accused President Ferdinand E. Marcos of "wanton extravagances" and praised Marcos's slain rival, Benigno Aquino, as a martyr and "a new national hero." Cardinal Jaime L. Sin, in one of his strongest attacks yet on Marcos' rule, said economic problems have brought a Christmas season "that without doubt is the most dismal the country has seen since the terrible days of World War II" when the Philippines was invaded by Japan. "Our country is in a terrible economic mess. Our currency has all but become worthless.

Daily, thousands of our workers are losing their jobs because of factory shutdowns and business failures. We cannot import raw materials to get out industries producing because we have no dollars," Sin said in a lecture to a writers group. Coffee, cotton and sugar are El Salvador's principal export products and the source of badly needed foreign exchange. In Nicaragua, government troops killed at least 25 of the guerrillas who attacked San Juan del Norte, about 15 miles north of Costa Rica, a Defense Ministry official said Saturday. An undetermined number of rebels of the Revolutionary Democratic Alliance, led by former Sandinista hero Eden Pastora, on Wednesday attacked the town 215 miles southeast of Managua on the isolated Atlantic Coast, the official said.

The rebels fired mortars, bazookas and assault rifles at army positions but were repelled after 24 hours of combat and fled toward the Costa Rican border, said the official, who spoke on condition he not be named. in a clash near Zacatecoluca, 35 miles southeast of San Salvador. Neither side mentioned its own casualties and the claims could not be confirmed independently. Guerrillas seized six coffee farms near Jucuapa last week and threatened to block the coffee harvest if plantation owners did not pay higher wages to migrant coffee-pickers. In response, some 1,000 troops from the U.S.-trained Atonal Battalion, backed by troops of the 3rd Infantry Brigade, began a drive Thursday to rid the area of rebels and allow the harvest to take place.

The rebels' clandestine Radio Venceremos on Saturday said the rebels would make a similar effort during the upcoming cotton harvest, and that demands for wages and working condition would be made "in upcoming broadcasts." SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) Leftist rebels claimed Saturday they killed 18 troops and wounded 75 during heavy combat for control of an important coffee-growing region in eastern El Salvador. The Defense Ministry said 15 rebels died in three separate battles. Nicaragua's leftist government, meanwhile, claimed it beat back a rebel attack near the Costa Rican border and killed 25 of the insurgents. El Salvador's Defense Ministry said six guerrillas were killed and four wounded in the fighting near Jucuapa, 68 miles east of San Salvador in the strategic highlands that range between Usulutan and San Miguel provinces. In a news release, it said seven more guerrillas were killed in a surprise attack Friday near San Luis de la Reina, 104 miles northeast of the capital near the Honduran border, and two more T-5 1 British printers union ROBERT ELLIOTT STAMPS COINS 1 it it -'fa 1624 SEABRIGHT SANTA CRUZ, 423-0177 Complete line of Stamp Coin Supplies for your collecting needs ALBUMS MOUNTS HOLDERS STOCKBOOKS CATALOGUES STOCK PAGES PACKETS ETC.

The executive council of the National Graphical Association met in London a day after High Court Judge Sir Michael Eastham levied fresh fines for illegal mass picketing outside the Messenger Group newspaper plant in the northwest England city of Warrington.

Union General Secretary Joe Wade said a nationwide strike was a "very real possibility." Such a strike would hit the more than 1,100 national and local newspapers and could mean most would be unable to publish. He denounced Messenger chairman Selim Shah for bringing the court action, saying his "despicable attack" showed how a "maverick employer can use the government's employment legislation against NGA members to victimize them and at the same time destroy the union." 2,249 prisoners pardoned DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania (AP) President Julius Nyerere has pardoned 2,249 prisoners to mark Tanzania's 22nd anniversary of independence, the government said Saturday. Friday's amnesty was granted to pregnant women, nursing mothers, the sick, the aged and those with a record of good behavior, the government said. Hardened criminals, armed robbers, cattle rustlers, murderers and people convicted of giving or receiving bribes were not eligible, it added. 28 Jehovah's Witnesses ATHENS, Greece (AP) A military court has sentenced 28 members of the Jehovah's Witnesses to prison terms ranging from two to four years because they refused to serve in the armed forces, a court spokesman said Saturday.

He said the Witnesses, all Greek, failed to show up at training camps and refused to bear arms and carry out military orders. "We are conscientious objectors and the state shouldn't court-martial us," the 28 said in a closing statement before sentence wt.s passed Friday. w. -nrW-lfi "ifMlnrtr DIAMOND RINGS 75 DIAMOND PENDANTS 45to 4,500 DIAMOND EARRINGS $49to $4,900 PRIDE IN QUALITY INTEGRITY IN SERVICE ARPETS STEM!
