Echoing Gunfire. The Communists were clearly troubled by the problem of how to keep so large an outburst from getting further out of hand. An official statement attributed the revolt to "imperialist agents and a reactionary underground," charged that the rioting bore "the imprint of a large-scale and carefully prepared provocative and diversionary action." Communist Premier Jozef Cyrankiewicz, rushing down to Poznan, promised severe punishment for those captured with weapons. Cried Cyrankiewicz: "Everyone who raises his hand against the people may be sure that it will be hacked...

The drop bore little resemblance to the Cardiac Break last September. Few big investors had sold; trading was largely by smaller shareholders. Even so, losses were only a fraction of September 26th's staggering 31 points, and trading volume of 3.6 million shares was half the 7,720,000 shares traded during...
