...same time, the government intensified a propaganda campaign against the strikes. On Wednesday the party daily Trybuna Ludu warned of "national catastrophe" if the walkouts continued and pointedly noted that "our country lies in the direct security zone of the world socialist power-the Soviet Union." Mieczyslaw Rakowski, influential editor of the party periodical Polityka, declared on national television: "I am very frightened. Our country is in a precarious position.

Reporting the "agony" of watching workers standing around idly, smoking cigarettes and chatting, Hungary's weekly Szabad FÖld recently described the country's labor situation as "desperate...
...Communist Party newspaper Trybuna Ludu countered with the charge that Wyszynski was guilty of "an irresponsible attempt" to create a crisis. In a statement that obviously had Gomulka's backing, the paper said last week that "views harmful to the interests of the community were often expressed during lectures on secular subjects" at the seminaries. "The authorities cannot be indifferent to how the civic attitude of future priests is shaped," said an editorial that spoke of state plans "to exact observance of the laws...
