U S adviser sees El Salvador winning in two years with aid
Col John D Waghelstein says El Salvador's army could defeat leftist guerrillas in two years if U S aid and force expansion continue, though human rights abuses by security forces remain a concern. He notes a shift to night patrols and small unit actions and longer operations.

Poland pledges Western aid fund for farmers
In a concrete result of Pope John Paul II's Polish pilgrimage, Poland's Communist rulers agreed in principle to establish a church controlled foundation to channel at least 2 billion dollars in Western equipment and supplies to Polish farmers. The agreement came days before the pope's arrival in Warsaw and is seen as breaking a months long stalemate. The foundation would be controlled by an agency outside the government, a first for a Soviet bloc country.
