His Democratic Unionist Party, which broke away from the Official Unionist Party in 1970, has increased its share of the vote in every election since then, now equaling the parent party in popularity polls. It was Paisley's call for a "day of action" that serl thousands of unionists into 'he streets of Ulster last week, an event that appeared to strengthen his claim to speak for the Protestant masses.

The terms "unionist" and "loyalist" are often used interchangeably here, and traditionally refer to Protestants who support continued ties to Britain. But some Protestants now talk of breaking away from "perfidious" England and setting up an independent Protestant state in Ulster. Not since the English colonized Northern Ireland in the 17th Centuryabout the same time they settled in Amelia have the Protestants been so uneasy about their relations with the mother country. In 1922, the British government divided the island of Ireland into the Irish Free State (later to become the independent Republic of Ireland), and the six counties of Ulster, which as Northern Ireland joined Great Britain to make up the United Kingdom. Please tee PAISLEY, Pace 10 Continued from First Page But they have one thing in common: They do not want to become part of the Catholic Republic of Ireland to the south.

And some among them would even break the ties with Britain to escape that fate. Paisley appeals to the hardest of the hard line. Dressed in a black frock coat and a white Roman collar, the tall, beefy Paisley leads the congregation in a hymn, then launches into his sermon: "God will take care of the Irish Republican Army and rise up in judgment against the murder gangs." He then shifts into politics: "Oh God, deal with Margaret Thatcher and Jim Prior," the British prime minister and her minister for Northern Ireland, who, in Paisley's view, has ordered "the betrayal of Ulster." Then the reverend booms out: "We have an unholy trio the Thatcherite government, the Dublin government and the IRA. They all have the same goal to bring us into an all-Ireland Republic. "That will never be.

Over our dead bodies, only." "Hallelujah," responds the congregation, and "Amen." For the Protestants of Ulster, as Northern Ireland is called here, it has not been a good year. They have seen IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands elected to the British Parliament as he lay dying in a British prison outside this pro- Walnut nnisn WOOD DESK List MS 95 $79" IMS Hifh pressure Ijminite ton WS lit?

And they have seen one of their own members of Par-Lament, the Rev. Robert Brarifcrd, assassinated by IRA gunmen. And more ominous to the Protestant militants have been the talks between Thatcher and Irish Prime Minister Garret FitzGerald, which seem to have taken the problems of Ulster out of a purely British context.
