Strikes engulf Poland as resistance mounts
Martial law tightens grip in Poland with 129 factories militarized and a death penalty for worker disobedience in vital industries. Troops evict strikers at a Katowice steel mill as Solidarity figures face mass arrests and isolation in Warsaw and Gdansk. Panic buying and restricted travel accompany the crackdown, while Soviet commander Victor Kulikov reportedly oversees enforcement.

Pope issues firm stance on family and morality
The pope denounces abortion and sterilization and warns against contraceptive attitudes. He urges Catholic education to stress chastity, condemns trial marriages, and calls pastors to marry couples for religious, not social, reasons. He backs honoring the maternal role, while offering pastoral care for divorced and unmarried pairs. Couples who remarry outside the church must repent and show continence to receive sacraments.

The Kremlin may aid Poland if Jaruzelski cannot crush resistance to martial law, a Soviet source said. He warned a request could trigger help within days, with Soviet troops possibly patrolling after Polish forces halt large strikes. Tass and Novosti echoed non-interference while noting isolated strikes and escalating repression.
