If convicted, he could be jailed for as long as two years "The slander case is now under the supervision of courts. This means the trial will take place," Urban said. In another blow to the underground trade-uniomovement, the government announced Tuesday the arrests of three Solidarity members in the Baltic seaport of Gdansk, Walesa's home and the birthplace of Solidarity.

A state prosecutor in December questioned Walesa about allegations that he challenged turnout figures released by the government after the O t 13 parliamentary elections. Walesa contended the turnout was 60 percent, not the officially figure of 79 percent. The government of Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski considered the election extremely significant and contended the turnout, higher than in 1984 local elections, was evidence of a return to stability in Poland after years of unrest Walesa had called for a boycott of the election because communist authorities controlled the selection of candidates for the 460 seats in Sejm, the Polish parliament Urban contended the government has nothing to do" with the filing of charges against Walesa Election committees felt slandered by Walesa because he questioned the proper counting of votes." t Liem, 15; third run- ner-uwas MissrC p Virginia Angela j , i Allison Brown Thigpen. 15. and fourth runner-uwas Miss South Dakota.

(AP) ders for Voyager 2 s final approach to Uranus were radioed 1.84 billion miles to the spacecraft Tuesday after NASA engineers fixed a computer problem that had caused streaks across weekend photographs of the giant planet. Unprocessed television pictures returned to Earth Tuesday by the space probe showed for the first time six of the nine known, charcoal-black rings that encircle the t solar system's planet, said Ellis Miner, deputy project scientist at Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Several of the rings had been seen previously in computer-processepictures But Tuesday, the named epsilon. six outer rings third-larges- d delta, gamma, eta, beta and alpha were clearly visible in "raw" pictures. Miner said. On Friday, Voyager will have its closest encounter with Uranus the seventh planet from the sun and its rings and moons, flying within 50,600 miles of the gaseous cloud tops. At 9 a m. Wednesday. Voyager 2 will be 1,843.161,696 miles from planets Earth and 1.694,738 miles from Uranus, streaking toward and around the planet at 40.215 mph, project manager Dick Laeser said. He said a computer program designed to control Voyager 2's operations during its final approach to the planet was radioed to the space probe Tuesday morning by Nation al Aeronautics and Space Adminis- tration engineers. "That takes it up through its final approach," he said, adding that another, more critical computer to operate the probe program during Friday's close encounter will be radioed to Voyager on Thursday. Last-minut- e "fine-tuning- or- " ders may be transmitted after that, he said The quality of Voyagers photos had been threatened' by the failure Saturday of an integrated circuit aboard Voyager 2, which produced numerous horizontal streaks across the pictures, Laeser said. Engineers bypassed the failed circuit and by early Tuesday "we were back good as new, he said. Police Haul in Catch of Striking Fishermen - NEW BEDFORD.
