Martial law in Poland orders the harshest penalties for demonstrators on the 1970 labor rebellion anniversary. Troops with armored vehicles broke into Gdansk shipyards to crush a strike while the Roman Catholic Church denounced the crackdown. The army paper urged soldiers to kill officers and Solidarity to seize power, while U S officials blamed Soviet pressure for the action and warned of possible sanctions.
