Troops in Poland flex muscles amid meat rationing plan
About 35,000 Soviet Bloc troops were reported to begin scheduled maneuvers in Poland with Western observers noting all Warsaw Pact allies would participate. The exercise, likely lasting 1 to 10 days, follows Poland's move toward meat rationing beginning April 1 and sugar cuts. The plan aims for more equitable meat distribution amid long‑running labor unrest and political upheaval led by Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski.

Texas prison reforms urged by Justice Department
The Justice Department urged judges to end three prisoners per cell by June 1 and to cap cells at 60 square feet or less to one inmate per 60 square feet by June 1, 1983. It pressed for new prisons within 50 miles of high population centers, 80 square foot cells, and under 500 inmates, plus tighter guard ratios and humane rules. The filing cited sanitation and overcrowding at Huntsville, access to law libraries, education for illiterate inmates, fire safety upgrades, and end to prisoners supervising prisoners. A judge will weigh inmate, state, and federal proposals before an order.
