International Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said that the Soviet Union was continuing its military buildup in and around Poland and that the response of the United States and its allies would include ''far more effective'' trade sanctions against the Soviet Union and possibly the sale of weapons to China. ''There's still a lot of activity that we wish weren't going on,'' he said during a flight to Europe for a meeting in Bonn Tuesday of defense ministers of the NATO countries. (Page 1, Column 6.) Diplomatic sources in Moscow said that the Soviet leadership refused to discuss the issue of Poland with Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher of West Germany, who spent three days in Moscow for talks. ''Their refusal is consistent, but ominous, especially when they were talking to a man of high rank,'' a senior Western diplomat observed. (1:5.)

International Moscow is poised for intervention in Poland, according to the United States, which issued another warning against such ''unjustified action.'' Informed sources said that the Soviet Union had begun airlifting helicopters into the Soviet military district in southwest Poland, in a move that appeared to be on a small scale to avoid attracting attention and generating alarm among the Poles. (Page 1, Column 6.) Moscow urged Polish Communists to be vigilant. For the second consecutive day, the Soviet Communist Party newspaper Pravda implied strong Kremlin disapproval of the willingness of the Polish leadership to make concessions to the independent union.

Date: 05 April 1981
The former Midtown Hospital site at 309 East 49th Street has been sold by Roberto Riva and Giorgio Laurenti, principals of the OTIC Development Corporation, to Bruce Berger Realty Inc. for more than $5 million. Included in the sale were building permits and completed plans developed by OTIC for a luxury, 94-unit, 21-story condominum apartment building designed by Seymour Churgin and John Klausz of the Architects Design Group. Mr. Laurenti said that originally he and Mr. Riva wanted to create a condominum building with a ''European style'' that would cater to diplomats who often encountered problems being accepted by the boards of cooperative buildings. He said the sale had been made because of a ''good offer.'' He added that he was looking at two other sites for similar projects.
