However, the Ministry of Trade and Industry, which regulates Japan's nuclear power industry, disputed the company statement. It said it was likely the moppers were exposed to dangerous doses of contamination because the waste water had a relatively high level of contamination. Minister of Trade and Industry Rokusuke Tanaka told the Japan Times the company may have violated the Electricity Utility Industry Law by not reporting the spill when it first occurred, and its executives may be criminally charged.

The Japan Atomic Power Co. said its "top officials" may resign to "take responsibility" for the accident. TOKYO (AP) Fifty-six men were exposed to contaminated waste in the nuclear power plant accident on the Sea of Japan and the plant's executives may be indicted on criminal charges, the government said Tuesday.

said eight plant workers were immediately put to work mopping up the spill with buckets and rags after it occurred March 8.

Price On Game Cartridges. New York Times News Service WARSAW, Poland It was the 36th anniversary of the Polish-Soviet friendship treaty Tuesday, and a Pole remarked relations between the two countries are so terrific a soccer match between them was called off recently with the explanation the Russian players were busy with more important things. The newspapers reported the anniversary on their front pages, but it was a time for staying clear of the old ecstasy or exhortation. In places like East Berlin such occasions still bring pledges of eternal loyalty and signed-in-blood hyperbole of the "Soviet Union the heartbeat of our lives" variety. But in trying to keep up with today's Poland of the independent trade union, Solidarity, and its leader Lech Walesa, Trybuna Ludu, the official Communist Party newspaper here decided instead that it would best conclude its commentary on the 36 years of friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance with a subheadline that read simply, "Our chances and the facts of life." All during the four-day Easter weekend that ended Tuesday, the state radio, as if it were transmitting to the west Texas flatlands instead of Bialystok or Kalisz or Lublin, seemed to concentrate on Johnny Cash records.

Television came up with a Paul Anka special, and at least four American movies, including one with Cesar Romero and Chuck Connors fighting it out around some adobe hacienda. The TV weekly review stuck to the American space shuttle. And of all the possible ignominies, the Moskwa movie house on Pulawska Street was showing a gangster movie with Peter Fonda. For someone looking, there was hardly anything Russian or Soviet to find. The offices of Intourist, the official Soviet travel agency, seemed empty because the potentially infectious Poles are no longer welcome as tourists.

In the city's most modern hotel, which admittedly aims at the hard-currency Western market, there was not even a token copy of Pravda or Izvestia on sale, but instead, a West German newspaper that usually gets referred to as revanchist in the Communist press. It always treats Poland's "socialist brotherland" (East Germany) as if it were only worthy of handling with tongs. It is hard to say how much of this Western tone, this distance from the rest of the Soviet Bloc, is a product of the last nine months of democratization, because Poland has been more open to the West over the last 10 years than the countries around it. But the sound of the editorials, the lack of interest in embracing a Soviet ideal that is no longer that of even large segments of the Polish Communist Party, was striking. The daily Roman Catholic newspaper Slown Powspchne, which was often crticized in the past by some of its readers for its timidity, took the occasion to catch up a bit.

No sun, no all-giver or all-taker-away, the Soviet Union was for the newspaper simply "one of the principal mainstays in Poland's reconstruction." "At present, it is an important premise in the strivings to overcome Poland's present difficulties." This went further than the Communist Party daily, but its own editorial did not try to sell good relations with the Soviet Union in any emotional way, explaining instead it was common sense, a necessity. It claimed, perhaps a bit ambitiously, that a decisive majority of Poles thought closer ties with the Soviet Union provided a way out of the country's economic crisis. Then it added Poles needed most of all to be aware of good Soviet relations as a fact of their lives. There was also a series of lawyerly presentations of how much the Soviet Union was actually doing to help Poland. The finance minister, Marian Krzak, said that of Poland's $23 billion debt, $1 billion was to the Soviet Union, plus another $1 billion in "transferable rubles." The Polish trade deficit with the Soviet Union for 1981 was estimated at 500 million rubles and recently the Soviets had "deferred our repayment of 400 million rubles until after 1985." There were also long-term and medium-term credits, from the Soviets, Krzak said, paid off at interest rates from 2 to 5 percent or "a third of what we have to pay in the West." Artillery shatters Beirut cease-fire BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) Artillery battles between Syrian forces and Christian militias shattered the 13-day-old Lebanese cease-fire Tuesday, temporarily closing the airport, forcing 300,000 residents into bomb shelters in Beirut and Zahle and raising new fears of Israeli intervention.

Newspapers put the death toll at 21 and said more than 80 people were wounded. Reporters said 100,000 people fled to bomb shelters in Beirut, and that the renewed fighting sent the 200,000 residents of Zahle, the war-ravaged Christian city 30 miles to the east, fleeing to wine cellars, basements and other shelters. With mortar shells exploding around them, three Lebanese jetliners took off from Syrian-controlled Beirut airport after nightfall. Officials of the airport, located on the city's southern outskirts, said three Boeing 727s of Middle East Airlines, Lebanon's national carrier, departed in rapid succession, each carrying about 100 passengers. The last plane took off with lights out, officials said, to foil gunners whose shells were getting closer to the departure runway..
