Polish control of the port was By SHARON MORREY resented by Germany. West Germany FRANKFURT, (AP) Europe today paid solemn tribute to the millions of victims of World War II, which started 50 years ago on Sept. 1 when a German warship opened fire on a tiny Polish garrison. Adolf Hitler's troops quickly overran Poland, and the war spread around the globe. In the end, 50 million people had died. By then the Nazis had shocked the world with the extermination of 6 million Jews, and the United States had forever changed warfare by dropping nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. 'Many of Belgium's 6 million Dutch speakers woke up to a broadcast of Hitler declaring war on Poland. BRT state radio opened its foreign news report with a tape of the original declaration and Germans cheering for their fuhrer. Ijl London, a reunion was planned ofome of the people who were evacuated during Hitler's savage Blitzkrieg bombings of the city. Italy's leading daily, the Milan-base- d Corriere della Sera, told its readers that "Europe paid the price of its lacerations with the loss of its political supremacy."

For those reasons, he said, the younger generation of Germans were absolved of responsibility for the war. "They bear no guilt for dictatorneither ship or the world war collective as there is no such thing, nor individual as their elders retain that," he said. But Kohl also said the horrors inflicted on Europe by the Nazi regime could never be overcome or underestimated. "It must always be a reminder," he said, referring to the millions of victims of the Holocaust. "It can never be rendered harmless by false comparisons." -C- hancellor Helmut Kohl said today that only the truth will heal the wounds of the war Germany began a half century ago. He declared his nation's readiness to reconcile with Poland. In a nationally televised speech to the federal Bundestag, or parliament, on the 50th anniversary of the start of World War II, Kohl said Germans had to acknowledge their responsibility for the Holocaust and Hitler's dictatorship. But he said that following Germany's defeat in the war, the nation had been fundamentally altered and dedicated to the principles of free Joining parliament to hear the speech were guests that included Polish students, Warsaw's ambassador to West Germany, Karski, and U.S. Ambassador Vernon Walters. Ry-sza- Kohl was interrupted by applause only once, when he said West Ger- many wished success for Poland's new leadership. Relations with Poland and other communist nations of the East bloc were a major theme of Kohl's address and of memorial speeches by other West German dignitaries, including President Richard von Weizsaecker and former chancellor Willy Brandt. "We want understanding between the German and Polish peoples," Kohl declared. "This is our duty, and it expresses the yearning of both peoples." Poland was the first nation to fall victim to Nazi attack, when Hitler's army invaded Sept. 1, 1939, beginning the world war that would eventually claim 50 million lives. "In the name of Germany and by German hands were the terrors brought about for the Polish people," Kohl said. "Reconciliation is only possible if we tell the whole truth."

U.S. military personnel were to arrive today for $300,000 preparations. The Colombian government said that under emergency rules, judges' identities would be kept secret in drug cases. Since 1980, 220 judges and court officials have been slain in a reign of terror aimed at intimidating them into dropping drug cases. The government began fighting back in its boldest attempt ever after a leading presidential hopeful, Luis Carlos Galan, was assassinated Aug. 18. Drug lords responded with threats to kill more officials and with bombings.

A news briefing was to take place: today at Geneva Steel at noon followed by a press conference called by the Utah Clean Air Coalition.

"I've been working with this for several years and here he's had it only three weeks. That's a concern," said Pope. The data set being used by Lamm is different data than used for his study, he added. "That is important. The data set he (Lamm) ' is using is not the same as used in my study."

Manuel Antonio Noriega, was sworn in as president today. President Bush announced there would be no diplomatic contacts with the new government. In a televised ceremony at the Supreme Court, court president Marisol Reyes de Vasquez adminis- tered the oath of office to Rodriguez and Vice President Carlos Ozores. The proceedings were closed to the press and diplomats. In a statement, Bush said the U.S. ambassador to Panama, Arthur Davis, would not return. Davis was called back to Washington in May. Bush also said the administration will "continue to take other steps ... to deprive the illegal regime of funds that belong to the Panamanian people." He did not elaborate. After the oath of office, Mrs. Vasquez and Rodriguez exchanged the traditional embrace and he then donned the presidential sash. The court attended the ceremony. The Council of State named the president and vice president on Thursday. It declared that elections cannot be held until U.S. economic sanctions and "aggression" end. The council, a body of Cabinet ministers and heads of the military and agencies that Noriega is pre sumed to control, said it will evaluate the situation in six months to determine whether elections are possible. Noriega is head of the Panamanian Defense Forces, the nation's military, and the de facto leader of " Panama. The council said Rodriguez will head a provisional government that will rule with a legislative commission of 41 appointed members.
