DIED. Wladyslaw Gomulka, 77, Polish leader who retained a fierce loyalty to traditional Communist dogma despite his "Polish road to socialism" approach that irritated the Kremlin; of cancer; in Warsaw. Once considered one of the most influential leaders in the Communist world, Gomulka insisted that Communist countries should retain a degree of independence in domestic matters, even while supporting the general Soviet policy line, a view that resulted in his removal in 1948 as Poland's leader. Jailed from 1951 to 1954 for opposing Stalinist economic collectivization, he returned to power in 1956 following the Poznan "bread and freedom" riots. When Soviet troops massed in and around Poland that October, Gomulka is reported to have met Khrushchev's threat that he had mobilized his troops with the rejoinder, "So have I." The Soviets backed down, and Gomulka became a national hero. Fourteen years later, riots broke out protesting failing economic policies, and Gomulka was forced to resign after security forces, summoned to squelch the uprising, killed dozens of workers.

DIED. Nahum Goldmann, 87, Zionist leader for nearly half a century and one of the most outspoken critics of Israeli policies, from Ben-Gurion's to Begin's; in Bad Reichenhall, West Germany. Co-founder and president of the World Jewish Congress from 1949 to 1977, Goldmann negotiated the 1952 reparations agreement with West Germany that resulted in payments of some $822 million to Israel and its Holocaust survivors. Goldmann repeatedly advocated peaceful coexistence between Arabs and Israelis, saying, "There can be no future for the Jewish state unless agreement is reached with the Arabs." And in July he argued for ending the siege of West Beirut and for mutual recognition between Palestinians and Israelis.
