General to Head Polish Airline Sparks Walkout Threat
The Polish government appointed a general to head LOT amid workers' rejection of their nominee. After a four hour warning strike at Warsaw airport, about 1,500 passengers were delayed with nine domestic flights canceled and 18 delayed.

Officials say human rights will remain one factor under existing laws while nonnuclear weapon sales should stay around $14 to $15 billion annually. The move signals a modest easing of restraints amid Soviet competition.
