Joining Communist President at official events will be Solidarity leader Lech Walesa and newly named Prime Minister Tadeusz the first to Gen, Wojciech Jaruzelski Mazo-wieck- i, head a Polish government in 45 years. Planned commemorations include an internationally broadcast concert by Leonard Bernstein, speeches at Westerplatte, where the war's first shots were fired, and an international prayer for peace led by a televised message from Polish-bor- n Pope John Paul II. The war has an enduring poignancy in Poland, which fought against Hitler from the conflict's start on Sept. 1, 1939, to the victory in Europe on May 9, 1945. More than 6 million Poles died, a fifth of the population and a higher percentage than any other nation. The toll included 3 million Jews, deported to death camps such as Auschwitz and Treblinka that the PolNazis built in the ish villages by those names. once-obscu- re At war's end, 40 percent of Poland's national property was lost and Warsaw was empty and leveled. In the capital, stucco facades of homes still show the scars of battle. To some, the war's toll continued at the hands of the Communist government that took power backed by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin. "We will pay homage to all victims of the war, we will pay homage to its heroes and we will express the will to live in peace," said Wlodzinierz Lozinski, a spokesman for Jaruzelski. The commemoration begins one week after Communist and Solidari ty lawmakers joined to elect Mazo-wiecprime minister.

Jfxuzelski, who went to Siberia with his family after the Soviets invaded and later joined the Polish army organized under the Soviets, will lead the ceremony. On Friday, Jaruzelski, Walesa and others will gather in the Baltic port of Gdansk at the granite memorial honoring the defend- ot off WWII ers of Westerplatte, where the German battleship Schleswig-Holstei- n fired on a garrison of 182 Polish soldiers to start the war. War veterans from Poland and the Allies will participate, including about 70 survivors of the attack. Bernstein will conduct a concert Friday evening at Warsaw's Grand Theater with actress Liv Ullmann and others in a televised benefit for the U.N. agency UNICEF. Bernstein will open with lines from W.H. Auden's poem, "September 1, 1939," and Samuel Pisar, one of the youngest survivors of Auschwitz, will narrate reminiscences accompanied by photographs and film of the destruction of Warsaw. Ms. will narrate Arnold Schoenberg's cantata "A Survivor From Warsaw." An International Day of Prayer for Peace will bring together representatives of world religions for conferences and contemplation on Thursday and Friday. "The lessons we draw from World War II must be drawn for the whole world, for international reconciliation and understanding," said Wladyslaw Klaczynski, an organizer.

A The presentation, officially termed a "professional disclosure," is to take place at the University of Utah. Following the U of U "peer review" session, Dr. Steven Lamm is scheduled to present his findings Friday to the Utah Valley Commission on Clean Air steering committee. Lamm is an epidemiologist associated with Johns Hopkins and Georgetown University, Geneva officials report. Lamm who has been retained by Geneva to review a study conducted by Dr. C. Arden Pope, associate professor of natural resources and environmental economics at Brigh-aYoung University, said he understands the work done by Lamm challenges his work. Pope released a study this year that showed a large and consistent association between PM10 pollution and respiratory disease. m Herald Photo Tmit Nelson Surf's up in Provo Canyon Several young men enjoy Tuesday's beautiful They declined to reveal their names to a Daily weather by trying a Utah version of surfing at Herald photographer since their actions were the Murdock Diversion Dam on Provo River, illegal and unsafe.

Closing arguments Tuesday saw Michael Richman, railroad attorney, blasting the credibility of expert witnesses called by the plaintiffs. He said they had failed to present evidence showing that the railroad cut at the toe of the slide caused the landslide to move. He quoted from expert defense witness, who testified during the trial that movement of the slide started at the top, where "overloading" with moisture started the mass moving. He told the jury that plaintiffs needed to show that if the railroad cut had not been there, the slide would not have occurred. "That small cut could not have held back 28 million cubic yards of off the slide was only superficial." He emphasized '.nat expert engineers and geologists had testified the slide was 250 to 300 feet deep. It was a mass movement underneath everything else, he said. "We never had a year like 1983 before; nobody could have predicted that the whole mountain would come down." Allen K. Young, attorney for the Thistle residents, called on testimony by the defense's own witness who said the slide was "identifiable, predictable and preventable."

The resignations brought to 108 the number of judges who have quit since the traffickers vowed Aug. 18 to retaliate against the government, police, journalists and others regarded as a threat to the drug empire. The traffickers have said they will kill 10 judges for every Colombian extradited to the United States to stand trial on drug charges. The Medellin magistrates, who resigned on Tuesday, had been investigating slayings believed to have been ordered by drug traffickers. The government, meanwhile, was reported to be preparing to extradite to the United States the first drug figure since the traffickers' terror campaign began two weeks ago. The effort to extradite Eduardo Martinez Romero, an alleged money manager for the traffickers, is seen a key test of Colomtia's will to battle the drug barons. He was arrested in the first days of an unprecedented offensive against trafficking, which began after gunmen hired by the cartel assassinated presidential hopeful Sen. Luis Carlos Galan on Aug. 18. The syndicated TV news program "Noticiero 24 Horas" reported the Colombian government notified Martinez on Tuesday of plans to extradite him to the United States. He was told he had five working days, or until next Tuesday, to appeal. A U.S. narcotics official had said earlier that the paperwork was going forward on an extradition request for Martinez, a economist who faces federal charges in Atlanta in a $1.2 billion operation for laundering cocaine (See COLOMBIA, Page A2) Grand Canyon pollution sparks federal fight Find It Astrograph Business Classified Ads Herald Staff Writer A jury of four men and four women deliberated only two hours before reaching a verdict of "no contest" in the trial of Thistle residents against the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad Company. Jurors announced their verdict Tuesday at 3:45 p.m. after retiring to the jury room at 1:30 p.m. The trial lasted two weeks. Some 15 displaced Thistle families filed the suit, seeking in excess of $1 million in damages from the railroad.

Colombia judges quit: BOGOTA, Thistle families lose lawsuit Using data collected from area hospitals, Pope found that during the months when federal standards were exceededv the number of hospital admissions of children with pneumonia, bronchitis and asthma nearly tripled. Adult admissions for diseases related to respiratory distress rose by 40 percent. Pope's paper, titled "Respiratory Disease Associated with Community Air Pollution and a Steel Mill, Utah Valley," was reviewed and accepted for publication in the American Journal of Health Nov. 7, 1988. Pope used data from the years that included the last year Geneva Steel was open under United States Steel Corporation management, the year that the mill was shut down and the first year Basic Manufacturing Technologies (BMT) reopened the plant. Pope's work, summarized and reviewed in the May 6 issue of Science News, was called a "land- D1-D- 4 Bl A4 ........A3 f 0QU' from the Grand Canyon," he said Tuesday. The controversy pits the Environmental Protection Agency and the Park Service against the federal Bureau of Reclamation, which owns 24.3 percent of the plant and would be responsible for much of the cost of expensive pollution controls. Costs estimates to control the pollution range from $300 million to $1 billion. The government has tried for years to determine to what extent the plant, 80 miles from the center of the Grand Canyon, is responsible for the layers of haze and pollution that cloud the skies during certain 1 fT3QZnrS-THTE- i3 times of the year. The Park Service defends its $2 million study tracking the plant's pollution and favors strong curbs. But the Bureau of Reclamation sides with plant operators who argue the plant shouldn't be singled out for expensive pollution controls. Both agencies are part of the Interior Department. Interior Secretary Manual Lujan said Tuesday he wasn't prepared to accept the Park Service conclusions, suggesting the National Academy of Sciences conduct a review. That suggestion was widely seen as giving the Bureau of Reclamation the upper hand. aii' !
