Udarity believe Lech Walesa betrayed the union by

ing to be released before other internees were let nd they suspect heeal with the regime, ets attacking Walesa's loyalty to the movement are lating in Gdansk. The union's underground Temporary inatlng Commission, however, is supporting Walesa aying it will await hia lead before taking any n. Meanwhile, the regime yesterday announced the seical internees, hird of remaining.

. Comment: Splits in the underground union may be widening, some militants, although frustrated andby the failure of the call for strikes on

ovember, apparently want to continue open resistance. The moderates evidently have regained control of the underground leadership, however, and are tryin- to isolate

the militants by reaffirming confidence in Walesa. The

government's conciliatory gesture in releasing more

internees seems intended to strengthen the position of union moderates.
