... Ronald Reagan. He said that he had decided to defect the moment that he
had heard of Walesa's arrest. Spasowski's wife, daughter and son-in-law also
received political asylum.
Spasowski, Poland's most senior diplomat, was serving his second tour of duty
in Washington; he had served in Washington as ambassador from 1955 to 1961. He
was also the highest ranking Communist-bloc diplomat to defect to the U.S. since
Arkady Shevchenko, a top-ranking Soviet official, defected in 1978. The last
major Eastern European defection was in 1967, when Janos Radvanyi resigned as
the Hungarian charge d'affaires and sought asylum. [See 1978, p. 302A2; 1967,
p. 273F2]
The officially controlled Warsaw radio denounced Spasowski's defection and
said that the government had recommended that the country's chief military
prosecutor begin criminal proceedings. The statement also said that the
ambassador was told in February that he would be recalled from his post and that
his "increasingly frequent incompetence" had been aggravated by "psychological
depression connected with his personal affairs."

Mieczkowski replied, That would be the normal routine."
Mr. Spasowski was the highest-ranking Communist-bloc diplomat to defect in
the United States since Arkady N. Shevchenko, the topranking Soviet official in
the United Nations secretariat, sought asylum in April 1978. Mr. Shevchenko is
now reported to be living in seclusion in the Washington area.
The last major defection of a Communist-bloc envoy in Washington occurred in
May 1967 when Janos Radvanyi, the Hungarian charge d'affaires, was granted
asylum. Mr. Radvanyi later said that he had defected because the Hungarian
Government had given the United States false assurances about Hanoi's position
on proposed peace talks on Vietnam.

KEYWORD: Polish-Soviet
BODY:
powerful anti-communist upheaval that an alarmed Moscow hurriedly snuffed
out.
In Czechoslovakia, the liberalization of the "Prague Spring" came more
gradually, but it was just as dangerous -- the Czechoslovak Communist Party
itself was leading the country down the heretical path of reform.
Poland's transformation has been peaceful, in contrast with the Hungarian
uprising. And the Polish party, unlike the Czechoslovak, has put up determined
resistance to much of what Solidarity demands.
The party's status is crucial in comparing the Polish situation with the
earlier episodes, says Janos Radvanyi, a former Hungarian diplomat who
witnessed the revolution and Soviet intervention in Budapest.
"The Communist Party of Poland still has a power base, but in Hungary in 1956
the party completely disintegrated in a matter of a few days," Radvanyi
explained in an interview. "If the Russians didn't invade, Hungary would have
been lost to them, at least as a close ally."

Donald W. Zacharias
President
Mississippi State University
Dr. Donald W. Zacharias became the 15th president of
Mississippi State University on September 1, 1985. Since then he
has overseen a restructuring of the university's administration
with the appointment of four new vice presidents, including the
institution's first provost. He also has implemented procedures
to bring increased involvement by the faculty, students and
alumni to the decision-making processes of the university, and
has become one of Mississippi's leading spokesmen for higher
education.
Dr. Zacharias received the Ph.D. in communication from
Indiana University in 1963, and continues to produce scholarly
articles in his academic field. A recently completed article on
the principles of designing an ideal university communication
system is the latest entry in a lengthy record of publications.
He continued to teach while serving as president at Western
Kentucky, and taught a course in communication and group
leadership in the Communication Department at Mississippi State
last year.
He currently serves on two major committees of the National
Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges--the
Commission on Arts and Sciences and the Subcommittee on Federal
Student Financial Assistance.

Dr. Zacharias came to Mississippi State from Western Kentucky
University in Bowling Green, where he had served as president for
six years, from 1979 to 1985. At Western Kentucky, he raised
academic standards, led the development of a strategic plan,
established the first comprehensive development program, and
reorganized the academic structure of the university.
Earlier, he was for five years an administrator in the
University of Texas system, serving as executive assistant to the
chancellor of the 14-campus statewide system and as assistant to
the president at the Austin campus.
He was associate professor and professor of communication at
the University of Texas at Austin from 1972 to 1979, and a
faculty member at Indiana University before that. He won
teaching awards at both universities.
Dr. Zacharias received the B.A. degree from Georgetown
College, and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Law by that
Institution in 1983.
He is active in church and civic affairs and spends as much
time as possible with his wife, Tommie, and their three children.
Alan is in medical school, Eric is a student at Mississippi
State, and daughter Leslie is in high school.
