Pipeline strains European relations in wake of gas project clash
AP News Analysis by R Gregory Nokes notes how France ignored Reagan's bid to block Soviet gas via a Europe spanning pipeline. Premier Mauroy and Foreign Minister Cheysson call it a growing divorce while Haig's resignation hangs over U.S. policy and the stalled export plan.

Reagan, citing Polish martial law, bars U.S. licensed equipment, a move officials say strains Western economies and raises questions about counsel to the president.
