Now that one-fifth of the new party central committee are Solidarity members, the authorities may have a chance to act Furthermore, the astonishing inclusion of a Solidarity member and three other A resolution adopted at the congress was an attempt to lay down an action plan to cope with such problems. But the grim list of statistics on Poland's ever-deepening economic crisis the source of all its other problems cannot be resolved out of existence. Prime Minister Wojciech Jaruzelski made It clear in his speech at the congress that things would get worse. Among Poland's stagger-' ing problems are the mounting $27 billion debt to the West, a projected 15 percent drop in national income, badly slumping production and acute food shortages that force some provinces to blue-collar workers on the 15-member Politburo was clearly aimed at beginning an era of better relations between the union ahd authorities.

"Even if it was just symbolic, it is a -good thing," said a Solidarity official. Resolutions adopted at the congress Included a new party statute institutionalizing many of the reforms already implemented under Kania's policy of "socialist renewal," implemented last fall because of changes wrought by the labor upheaval. In fact, said the newspaper Slowo Powszechne, "The importance of the congress consists first of all in Analysis Polish reaction, especially to the unprecedented secret ballot elections, has been a mixture of exhilaration and amazement.
