Millions of Polish workers joined a one hour Solidarity led strike protesting economic policy and harassment of activists. Jaruzelski warned of extraordinary measures if strikes persist as wider protests continue. OPEC set a 34 dollar base price for crude oil through 1982, likely raising US fuel costs. Greece will not abandon Western alliance or US bases, ready to negotiate early next year. A Soviet submarine grounded near a Swedish base. Sweden protests while awaiting tow. Khadafy airlifted troops to Chad to back a coup, with Chad demanding withdrawal by year end and France and OAU backing diplomatic efforts.
