Be voice of Republic lidarnosc. But you're ¿ a communist?" I tease n.s "God 'forbid!" he isses himself at the ught, "But tell me how ch there will be. ¡About 500 copies week."

Dangerous "You know", ,. he says, early very frightened, I could maybe hide 50 mewhere, but 500 is ingerous." I spend someine explaining to him that this type of work you nnot think in categories ich as: 50 copies - three ars, 500 copies - 30 ars. 'You won't even be de to explain having 10 pies. It's always a big ik, and ultimately you ive to be prepared even do forced labour. Of urse, the final decision is " to you," I ended my gument on a somewhat magogic note. The old an starts by telling me hat clandestine activity as like in the AK (Home imy in the Nazi occupaonl' then says that young rople nowadays are spineBS , creatures, and then pally agrees to start the postbox" from next week.

MICOA MILICJA On my way out I ask him to write down safety instructions for the washing machine and we part with a conspiratorial wink.

I race to my "postbox" contact with the editors of Fighting Solidarnosc. ! stop on Grunwaldzki Square for a quick bite to eat - soup with a slice of bread swallowed standing up, by the window. Hello -there's a funny car. Iwo aerials of different lengths, civilian registration number WRA2571, parked facing the street, like nobody does, with two bored young men in it.

I search my conscience quickly: what have I got with me, where have I been today, who have I talked to, where is my car ... and then I notice a bloke sitting on a bench doing nothing, getting cold and bored. There's also the familiar face of the SB man who tried to stop me in August 1980 by the bus garage. He goes up to the bloke on the bench, bends down and says something. After a while both men get into an innocent-looking Fiat on the other side of the street. It's obvious that they are surrounding one of the 13storey blocks of flats. Who are they hunting down? I wonder, calmly now, since they must know I'm above suspicion. I'll have to warn the "leaders"

On my way to the car I run into Bolek, who distributes the second print run. We are business colleagues anyway, so I don't have to pretend I don't know him. "Hey", Says Bolek, "I've got two electronics men, they want to start making transmitters, all they need are diagrams and some sort of transistor. They'll do it for 100 copies of Fighting Solidarnosc a week. Will you arrange it?' "If they go buying transistors and distributing the paper, they'll be caught in three weeks. In any case, you can get them copies of the paper yourself. All you have to do is increase your own quota, " I dampen his enthusiasm.

Impatient

"But I haven't had any copies for almost two weeks! People are getting impatient, we're losing readers. This won't do!" retorts Bolek.. . "OK. And when you went away for four days last month without letting us know, what was that supposed to be?" Iask.

"'The man came to your place five times in two days, and it was a miracle he didn't get caught, because a patrol checked his identity papers right under your apartment block when he was carrying a batch of bulletins. " I reason with Bolek. He calms down a bit and promises to get the electronics men started himself.

I also learn by chance that Bolek has some ink at home, so I drive him to Grabiszynek. Indoors, he lifts the top of his sofabed and pulls out two screw top jars. "Look, mate,' " I tell him, "Keep this stuff in the larder and not under your bed - it looks more like jam than your bedclothes"

Goodbye

He admits I'm right and, on my way out, says he knows where to buy 200 reams of paper. 'Where and when?"' I ask. "we have to arrange it in the next three days, or the 'deal's off.' I sigh heavily.

In that time I just can't arrange for the transport and storage. So Bolek will havę to sort that one out. I jay goodbye to him and run.

Wieczorka Street. I check the number again, and ring the bell. "Does Mr Rogacki live here?" "He lived above us until a year ago, but please come in, 1 happen to have his new address," the dark-eyed woman in a half-open housecoat says her longish piece with a sigh. "we can't talk on the doorstep," she shows me in.

I trip over the doormat, and on my way into the room start telling her what information I've got for the editors. In the room there's a surprise: sitting on the carpet, chewing matchstick is Kornel Morawiecki himself.

Next to him is a bundle of papers, leaflets and newspapers, and a typewriter. His co-editor Staszek • is also there. I'm pleasantly taken aback, say hello and decide to tell them about the distribution problems.

'Wherever I go, people shout at me for the delays in getting copies of the paper," I start to complain. Kornel interrupts me, "Stop bullshitting, just write an article. Something really good. Tell people that Fighting Solidarnose isn't a train they have to catch, or the midday time signal...

IN the neighbourhood of Konin [near the Czechoglovak border li on the high voltage cables linking the town's electric generator with the "Comecon' network, Solidarnose flags are still appearing which hang for several days. The flags can only be taken down after switching off the power supply, for which the agreement of the central dispatcher's office, in Prague, is needed.

Tygodnik Mazowsze, no. 34 WORKERS in one of the departments at the 'Jagiellon' University, unable to prevent the disappearance of leaflets and flowers placed under the Solidarnosc' noticeboard, started to soak the leaflets in a weak explosive substance, and sprinkled the flowers with powdered paint. After the unexpected explosions, the anti-leaflet campaign subsided.

Captain Szulc, of the MO [Civil Militia], a famous commander of the May 3 action in Torun, broke his leg. It was put in plaster while he was under anaesthetic. When he woke up, he saw his leg on a sling, and on the plaster were written the words: "For Solidarnosc".

Collaborators in the South East region of Poland were sent letters containing copies of 5 Zloty banknotes, with a Solidarnosc stamp and portrait of Lech Walesa, together with a text stating: 'We enclose an advance instalment.

Payment will be made in the future."

Tygodnik Mazowsze, no. 33 DURING a "surprise" visit to the Rosa Luxemburg Factory in Warsaw on 10 November, Jaruzelski was whistled at by the women workers. The TV had to withdraw the showing of pictures of the factory hall.
