Show JflA The jait Lake Tribune Friday, March 23, 1984 Complete Selection Of On a Roll: Poland Promises To Issue More Toilet Paper WARSAW, Poland (UPI)-T- oilet paper was officially added to coramod-- ; the list of sought-afte- r ities in Poland Thursday but communist authorities for once did not blame it on President Reagan and promised Poles an extra roll . each per year. We know for sure that supply of toilet paper does not meet de; ! ; mand," said the government newspaper, Rzeczpospolita. The 255 million rolls of paper which found their way to the shops last year were bought out on the spot, the paper said in explaining the toilet paper shortage that allows Poles an average of 7 j rolls per year. Surprisingly, toilet paper has been a key factor in assessing the state of Polands economy during ; 40 years of communist rule. ; Shortages have always occurred in times of crisis and only ' former Communist Party leader Edward Gierek, expelled from . the party on charges of economic irresponsibility in 1980, managed to satisfy demand by importing Western paj-r- . The authorities have this year promised a certain improvement by producing another 10 million rolls for market consumption, bringing the total number of rolls available to 265 million this year. The extra 10 million rolls should provide each Pole with almost one extra roll of toilet paper in 1984, but the government has promised a new paper plant will be built during the second half of h diameter, adjustable steel tube pole comptete 3ta48-inc- h backboard with DP exclusive Aquattts With 58-Inc- h steel elements. the to ttafa impervious goat, no-fi- e nylon net end hardware to attach goat 3t4r-inc- f 1985.

The official Soviet news agency, Tass, said many tremors over a period of months had alerted residents that a major quake was coming. It said seismologists had been able to wjarn residents of Namangan, a town in Uzbekistan Republic, to leave their homes before the earthquake hit. Gazli, about 1,700 miles southeast ol Moscow and in Uzbekistan, has axut 20,000 people. ' Earlier in the week, Tass reported that more than 100 people were idjured in Gazli by the quake which hit Tuesday before dawn.

Foreign diplomats, who expect the offensive to start in a matter of days, say there are definitely 750,000 Iranians massed near the front, including most of the 250,000-stron- g regular army, between 250,000 and 300,000 Revolutionary Guards, and volunteers ranging from boys to middle-age- d men. The diplomats say the figures could be higher because of a recent upsurge in volunteers, mainly poor Moslems from small villages who are devoted to Irans spiritual and revolutionary leader Ayatollah Khomeini. Iranian Films Shown Irans state television, known as The Voice and Vision of the Islamic Republic, has shown film over the past few days of new volunteers headed for the front, as well as convoys of trucks apparently loaded with supplies and ammunition. Iranian officials say a million people in the Basij forces have received basic training. They spend a few weeks or sometimes months at the front at a time. The younger volunteers, some of whom appear from television film to be 15 years old at the most, have taken to wearing broad scarlet headbands with inscriptions such as Soldiers of Islam and Ready for Martyrdom, giving them an air of World War II kamikaze pilots. Foreign diplomats say they have no evidence of coercion to raise Basij forces, although there is often pressure on families from Moslem clergymen. The diplomats, from Western European, Arab and Asian nations, are unanimous in believing that Iran has the upper hand in the war. More Territory The expected offensive will have the immediate aim of gaining more Iraqi territory and the ultimate goal of forcing the overthrow of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, they say. Iran wants to hold more Iraqi territory as a bargaining chip in any future negotiations, but it shows no sign of softening demands that Hussein be ousted as a condition for ending the war, the diplomats say. Some Iranian leaders have been saying recently it is not just Hussein, but the whole Iraqi Baathist Party leadershipi which must go before Iran will agree to peace, they add. The diplomats say that since last h month, when Iran captured Majnoon Island in southern Iraq, Iranian leaders have placed less emphasis on their other earlier condition that Iraq pay billions of dollars in war reparations. If Iraq gets a government of which we approve, we wont ask a penny in reparations, one diplomat quoted a senior Iranian official as saying recently. Reclaimed by Oilmen Majnoon Island is a large expanse of land reclaimed by Iraqi oilmen in recent years on marshland and lakes two miles inside Iraq, northeast of its southern port of Basra. Oilmen on both sides of the border believe it is sitting on billions of barrels of oil reserves. The foreign diplomats to whom this correspondent spoke were unanimous in the opinion that the capture of Majnoon Island was a brilliant tactical success for the Iranians and a severe blow to the Iraqi president and his troops morale. e net nylon Ball Glove SALE!

The Iranians launched a series of diversionary thrusts, as though they were going for Basra or the main d highway farther north, a senior diplomat said. In fact, Majnoon Island was their goal all along and they caught the Iraqis totally by surprise. He added, The island could only be taken by boat and the Iranians used every craft they could lay their hands on or build. Now they're sitting on the oil, although there's little they can do with it while the two countries are on a war footing.
