Show Begin Regime Presents Move for New Election By Arthur Max Associated Press Writer JERLSALEM Prime Munster Menachem Begins government presented a bill Monday to dissolve Parliament and hold elections four months ahead of schedule, but faced a legislative battle over what date to hold the balloting. Lennon Peace Forest TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) Israeli children will begin planting a John Lennon Peace Forest next month in memory of the slain former Beatle, Israeli authorities said. The forest, to be planted by Jewish and Arab youths in the mountainous Galilee region, was the idea of a group of Orthodox Jewish immigrants from the United States that collected money for the project from Galilee residents and Jews living abroad. The government-sponsore- d bill, calling for elections July 7, passed by a hand vote from the floor of the Knesset, or parliament, to a committee for backstage negotiations. None opposed, but the opposition Labor Party, protesting the lateness of the proposed election date, abstained. Begin, whose term was to finish Nov. 17, called the early election after Finance Minister Yigael Hurvitz and his threc-ma-n party quit the coalition, leaving the government with 59 seats at a minority in the most house. The Knesset committee has the power to amend the bill and change the election date. The law then requires two more formal readings for passage, but a tough battle over the election date was expected to block the bill in the Law Committee for as long as two weeks before it goes back to the House for final approval.

A 9 Solidarity Opposes Saturday Work By Karol Cwinarowicz Beef Prices Dip 21, 1981 Reuter News Agency The national comGDANSK, Poland mission of Polands independent trade union movement Solidarity issued tough resolutions here Tuesday rejecting working Saturdays and implicitly ignoring an appeal from its leader. Lech Walesa, for an end to strikes over the issue. The commission said it was seeking urgent talks with the authorities on work-fre- e Saturdays and declared Jan. 28 a day of support for peasant farmers. The commission also called on the government to present a new draft of a proposed economic reform program by Feb. 10. It labeled the original draft unsatisfactory and bureaucratic. Strikes Planned The Gdansk region and three others in Poland have announced strikes for Thursday and Friday to support demands for an immediate introduction of a five-daweek. The strikes were also designed to protest a government decision to dock the pay of workers w ho failed to show up for their jobs Jan. 10. Solidarity says that by granting only two free Saturdays a month the government has gone back on its agreement with strikers last summer. The government denies the charge and says the fragile economy cannot bear free Saturdays right away. Agreement on Strikes The Saturday resolution adopted by the decision-along national commission after a day of stormy debate said the authorities' implementation of the summer strike agreements had been highly unsatisfactory- It said all unilateral changes on the question of free Saturdays were unacceptable and, therefore, not binding on Polish workers. The resolution added that people who did not work on Jan. 10 and who fail to work on any subsequent Saturdays must be paid Calling for a conference with the govern y, ment, the commission demanded negotiations on other outstanding problems including Solidarity's access to the mass media, the release of political detainees and a law relaxing censorship. The commission said individual factories would be free to declare warning strikes on Jan. 28 to support a campaign by private farmers for their own rural Solidarity-union- .

Tough Talk Walesa, reporting to the commission on what he described as four hours of tough talks with Prime Minister Jozef Pinkowski in Warsaw Monday, told delegates to act with prudence and avoid confrontation. It was his first speech in Poland since he y returned Monday from a visit to Italy, which included an audience with Pope John Paul II. six-da- ADHESIVE SHELF PAPER From Mogic Cover for beautiful shelves.
