Walesa headed for runoff; Mazowiecki shut out

Businessman is second with a quick fix WARSAW, Poland (AP) Lech Walesa won the first round in presidential elections but, in a startling upset, his rival Prime Minister Tadeusz Mazowiecki was shut out of next month’s runoff by a wealthy, enigmatic emigre. Walesa, the favorite in Sunday’s balloting, had just over 40 percent of the vote with 46 of 49 provinces reporting. THE EMIGRE businessman, Stanislaw Tyminski, won 23 percent to Mazowiecki’s 16 percent, according to provincial election commission results reported by the official PAP news agency. The rest was split among three minor candidates. It was a stunning setback for Mazowiecki, the East bloc’s first non-Communist head of government, who during 15 months in office had spearheaded an economic “shock therapy” reform program. Tyminski, a 42-year-old virtual political unknown, returned to his homeland this fall after 21 years in Canada and Peru and decided to contest Poland’s first popular presidential elections.

HE APPARENTLY impressed Poles worn by economic hardship and the political scrap that split Solidarity. The free-spending head of the fringe Libertarian Party of Canada has promised Poles a quick cure for their economic woes and accused the government of incompetence. Since he failed to win an outright majority, Walesa meets Tyminski in a Dec. 9 runoff. Voter turnout was put at nearly 61 percent on Sunday. “I will win these elections,” Tyminski said as he arrived at his headquarters this morning. “I want to want to make this country rich and prosperous ... It will be better within a month.” HE SAID HE KNOWS “people in Warsaw who are already dying of poverty and hunger” and offered to provide addresses when challenged by reporters. Walesa appeared for work as usual at Solidarity headquarters in Gdansk and brushed off reporters’ questions. The shipyard electrician, who as Solidarity leader marshaled the forces that ended four decades of Communist rule, has said it would be “horrible” to face Tyminski in a runoff. He has described the emigre as “a man straight from the bush,” an apparent reference the challenger’s experiences in Peru’s interior. IN THE COUNTRY’S largest newspaper, Gazeta Wyborcza,

commentator Piotr Pacewicz attributed Tyminski’s showing to “a second Poland” of disaffected rural and small-town voters. He said Tyminski backers were enticed by this man “who arrived ‘clean,’ from outside the situation ... who ,came from the world of success, from the Americas.” An exit poll by state television indicated found farmers, who represent 40 percent of Polish society, deserted Mazowiecki en masse, angry at the abolition of guaranteed prices for their produce. Mazowiecki also fared poorly

among workers, winning only among intellectuals. DR. ZOFIA Kuratowska, a proMazowiecki senator, compared Tyminski to “pseudo-medical swindlers ... People trust them, and not the real medicine.” Mazowiecki was a longtime adviser to Walesa, who last year tapped him to become head of the government But they had a bitter falling-out, and the voting climaxed an often acrimonious campaign that splintered Solidarity. The charismatic Walesa, 47, had contended that Mazowiecki was too

U.S. will seek Jan. 1 deadline for Iraqi retreat from Kuwait

By the Associated Press The United States will ask the U.N. Security Council this week to give Saddam Hussein until Jan. 1 to withdraw his forces from Kuwait or risk a military strike against Iraq, officials say. The Iraqi government responded predictably today to the U.S. plans, saying the proposed U.N. resolution will not force it to budge an inch from Kuwait. “IF ANYBODY believes that this newest resolution will influence our position or force us to abandon our rights, they are completely wrong,” the ruling Baath party said in its daily newspaper, Al-Thawra. Saddam, meanwhile, held true to his policy of alternating conciliatory gestures with bellicose warnings. He released more than 100 foreigners on Sunday, mostly Germans, and indicated more releases were to come. But in what seemed a clear effort to drive a wedge between the United States and its allies, he warned that if the U.S.-led force attacks, he will unleash his missiles on Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf Arab states. IN OTHER developments: • Iraqi authorities took steps Sunday to make sure any shortages caused by a U.N.-mandated trade

slow in his reforms and called for ridding the government and industry of Communists. MAZOWIECKI, who has cautioned against “witch hunts,” accused Walesa of destabilizing the country. The 63-year-old prime minister argued that Poland needs his team to stay and finish the job through consistent, gradual change. He has accused Walesa of making promises he cannot keep, and some of his backers say Walesa would be a demagogue. Pro-Mazowiecki newspaper editor Emest Skalski predicted Walesa would beat Tyminski handily, but called his strong showing Sunday “a shameful episode in our political history.” THE ELECTION IS the first in Eastern Europe to focus not on defeating communism but choosing between visions for the post-Com-munist future. The new president will take over from Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski, who ordered martial law to crush Solidarity and imprisoned Walesa and Mazowiecki in December 1981. Jaruzelski is retiring early to complete the democratic transformation. Tyminski, who campaign mainly in the hinterlands, nearly tied Walesa in the Silesian mining district around Katowice, the poll said. Coal miners there are threatened with layoffs and have staged warn-

embargo are felt in Kuwait, which Iraq seized Aug. 2 and now calls its 19th province. The official Iraqi News Agency said food rationing would begin soon in the oil-rich emirate. • Kuwait’s govemment-in-exile, citing reports from escapees, said Kuwaiti resistance fighters had recently wounded the Iraqi-ap-pointed governor of Kuwait. The report could not be independently confirmed, but Iraq did announce the appointment of a new governor earlier this month without saying why the former one was being replaced. IN NEW YORK today, the 15member U.N. Security Council was to begin a week-long debate on the Persian Gulf crisis. After weeks of lobbying efforts, President Bush has expressed confidence that he has broad support for the use-of-force measure. The United States wants a vote on the measure this week because its one-monti? presidency of the council ends Friday. Taking over is the Red Sea state of Yemen, which has supported Iraq in the past. The United States wants international legitimacy behind any military action to liberate Kuwait. It also wants unanimity in issuing the strongest warning yet to Saddam.

ing strikes. STATE PROSECUTORS opened a slander investigation during the campaign after Tyminski accused Mazowiecki of treason, saying he had created economic chaos and was selling off state assets too cheaply. He erroneously cited figures in a government document that he mistook as selling prices when they were actually summaries of sales, but he did not withdraw his contention. It was the first time that Poles voted for a president by popular election. In the past, both under Communist rule and before World War 11, presidents were elected by the Parliament. THE NEW PRESIDENT wiU serve a five-year term as head of state and commander of the military, with powers to nominate the prime minister, dissolve parliament and declare a state of emergency under strictly defined circumstances. However, the president’s powers will be redifined and possible strengthened in a new constitution expected next year, when new parliamentary elections are also due. The lower house of the current parliament has a large proportion of former Communists, who were seated last year as part of the political deal through which the longruling party ended up ceding power to Solidarity.

AT THE SAME time, U.S. officials say U.N. approval is not necessary for action against Iraq. Bush said Friday that “We have the authority to do what we have to do” regardless of a U.N. vote. National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft made a similar statement Sunday. A draft resolution circulated in preparation for the debate expected on Thursday contains the Jan. 1 deadline, but that is “not locked in concrete,” a U.S. official said late Sunday night. He spoke on condition of anonymity. The resolution was circulated by the United States among the four other permanent Security Council members: the Soviet Union, China, Britain and France, all of whom have veto power. U.S. OFFICIALS do not expect the Soviet Union and China to block a resolution on force, but have raised the possibility that they would seek softer language. Britain and France were expected to back the resolution. The U.S. Embassy in Beijing said today it had been informed that Foreign Minister Qian Qichen will travel to New York to cast China’s vote on the resolution. China has refused to say publicly how it will vote. Secretary of State James A. Baker 111 has asked the foreign ministers represent their countries for the U.N. vote. MORE THAN 100 freed German captives arrived in Frankfurt Sunday after almost four months in captivity. Iraq has said it decided to free all Germans in appreciation of comments by Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who last week urged that all peaceful means for resolving the gulf crisis be exhausted. Ten Greek captives returned to Athens Sunday, and Iraq also said some 70 Italian captives would be freed on Tuesday.
