Manoeuvres end;
threat not over

MOSCOW (AP) — The
Soviet media carried new at-
tacks today on the inde-
pendent Polish labor feder-
ation Solidarity, questioning
its status as a trade union
and accusing it of receiving
aid from foreign “counter-
revolutionaries” and “anti-

The new criticism .indi-
cated that, despite what.was
described as a “calming of the
waters” in Poland, the threat
of Soviet military interven-
tion.remains. _

In one‘ attack, the Soviet

federation, through alleged
contacts with West German
political organizations, - is
linked with the U.S. Central
Intelligence Agency and the
American-funded Radio Free
“Equope.

The Soviet news agency
Tass and the Czechoslovak
news agency CTK also re-
ported the end of the mano-
euvres, which had been pro-
longed during last month's
industrial crisis in Poland.

statement recalled previous
Soviet charges that Soli-

forces for the possibility of a
military intervention in Po-
land.
