Soviets replace chief of staff
MOSCOW (AP) Marshal Nikolai V. Ogarkov has
been replaced as chief of the Soviet armed forces general
staff and first deputy defense minister, the official Soviet
news agency Tass said yesterday.
It said Ogarkov's positions were assumed by one of his
first deputies, Marshal Sergei F. Akhromeyev.
Tass did not say what Ogarkov's new job would be or
why the change was made.
Many Western observers have seen Ogarkov as a
possible candidate to succeed Dmitri Ustinov, the Soviet's
75-year-old defense minister.
The 66-year-old Ogarkov is considered the nation's top
soldier, a career military man who was appointed first
deputy minister and chief of the general staff in January
1977.
Last year, he gave a televised press conference outlin
ing the Soviet view on the South Korean airliner downed
by a Soviet fighter jet on Sept. 1, 1983, with a loss of 269
lives.
His replacement, 61-year-old Akhromeyev, is also a
career soldier who has held the posts of deputy and then
first deputy chief of the general staff for the past 10 years,
Tass said.

That's the list of guaranteed crowd-pleasers."
Michael London, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"All proceeds benefit your student government"
Ogarkov has been a member of the Central Committee
of the Communist Party since 1971. He was a senior
member of the Soviet team in the strategic arms limita
tions negotiations with the United States.
At the news conference to discuss the downing of the
South Korean airliner, Ogarkov outlined the Soviet posi
tion and fielded questions from Soviet and foreign jour
nalists for two hours.
In December 1983, he presided over a news conference
to discuss the suspended U.S.-Soviet disarmament talks
in Geneva.
Ogarkov is an army engineer by training who served as
a troop commander in East Germany and two military
districts in the Soviet Union before he joined the general
staff in 1968 to oversee weapons programs.
Akhromeyev was born May 5, 1923 into a farming
family, Tass said. It said he has been in the armed forces
since 1990 and "actively participated" in World War 11.
He graduated from a military academy specializing in
tank warfare in 1952 and in 1967 from the military
academy of the general staff, the news agency said.
He was named a marshal only last year, one of four
men promoted to that rank in March 1983.
Columbia Gas raises its monthly rates
Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania has increased
its general rate by about $1.30 per month for the
average residential customer, said Robert Mc-
Carty, area manager.
McCarty added that at the same time, the gas
cost rate was reduced by 1.01 cents per 1,000
cubic feet (MCU), or 11 cents per month for the
average customer. That brought down the total
rate increase to $1.19 a month or $14.28 a year, he
said. . .
The gas cost rate reflects changes in what a
distribution utility must pay to buy gas for
service to customers, although a certain portion'
of gas costs are also included in the general rate,
McCarty said.
"If we would be able to buy lower cost gas, we
could pass the savings to the customer. What we

added.

must approve rates for pipeline companies who
transport gas to geographical areas, McCarty
said.
However, he said Columbia Gas must , have the
approval of the Pennsylvania Public Utilities
Commission before it can increase its rates.
"Basically, the gas cost rate reduction shows
our efforts to secure the lowest cost for our
customers," he added.
Eighty percent of the customer's bill is strictly
what it costs the company to buy the gas,
McCarty said. The general rate increase was due
to higher taxes, material and labor costs and
operational costs.

Gay pride day proclamation
draws criticism in Harrisburg
HARRISBURG A citizens group,
formed to oppose a City Council proc
lamation establishing a "Gay and
Lesbian Pride Day," hopes to set an
example for Harrisburg's youth, the
group's chairman says.
The Rev. Edgar B. Murphy, chair
man of Citizens Who Care, said his
group wants Council to rescind the
proclamation and to "make the pub
lic aware of what is going on in our
city and what our City Council is
doing."
By 5-0 vote Aug. 14, the City
Council proclaimed Aug. 24 as Gay
and Lesbian Pride Day. The resolu
tion said it is the city's policy to
"treat all its citizens equally regard
less of race, nationality, sex or sexual
orientation."
Citizens Who Care was scheduled to
hold its first meeting last night
Murphy, pastor of the United Babt
ist Church in nearby Steelton, said
it's important Harrisburg's youth
know residents are banding together
to fight the proclamation.
"If we let our youth know the city
as a whole accepts this lifestyle to the
point it will set aside a pride day, then
I don't think we are setting the right
example for our youth," Murphy
said.
"If the city is to be saved, if the
world is to be saved, we must save the
babies," he added.
Murphy said he respects the rights
citizens to live as they please. But
when the City Council approves a gay
pride day, he said, "I feel like this is
permeating into my home, my chil
dren, my-little brothers and sisters."
"It is our responsibility to fix a rate that is
going to be fair to the customers and to the
utility," McCarty said.
He added that Columbia Gas serves 75 percent
of the major apartment complexes in the area, or
about 3,000 customers.
A spokesman for Briarwood Apartments, 6818
Waupelani Drive, who declined to be identified,
said the increase in Columbia Gas rates was one
of the factors of Briarwood's 1.5 percent rent
increase this month, but added that the increased
gas rate was "not a large factor at all."
Sue Hawbaker, property manager for Action
Property Administration, said rising rates for
utilities are taken into consideration when the
rent is determined.

Reagan, Mondale continue
long-distance religion debate

AP Political Writer
WASHINGTON Walter F. Mon
dale and President Reagan each con
demned bigotry as they continued
their debate on religion yesterday,
but the Democratic challenger accus
ed the Republican incumbent of en
couraging an "extreme fringe" bent
on imposing its religious views on all
Americans.
"All intolerance is ugly, whether it
wears the sheets of the Ku Klux Klan
or spreads the slurs of the Christian
Voice," a conservative California
group, Mondale told a convention of
B'nai B'rith.
Three hours later, Reagan told the
same Jewish audience, "The ideals of
our country leave no room whatsoev
er for intolerance, anti-Semitism or
bigotry or any kind none."
It was exactly two weeks ago that
Reagan told a prayer breakfast in
Dallas that , "religion and politics are
necessarily related" and touched off
a long-distance debate over the sepa
ration of church and state.

Israeli leaders plan out government
Peres, Shamir continue division of minor Cabinet positions
JERUSALEM (AP) The leaders of Israel's
two biggest political parties, seeking to end a six
week stalemate, concluded all but the minor
details of a power-sharing agreement yesterday
and said they hoped to install a new government
by the end of next week.
Labor Party leader Shimon Peres and caretaker
Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir of the Likud bloc
said they would have to meet again next week to
divide some of the minor Cabinet posts in a
bipartisan government.
Negotiations on a government of "national
unity" have been dragging on for six weeks and
the difficulties presage the obstacles such a gov
ernment may face.
The ideologically opposed parties have not
joined forces since former Prime Minister Menac
hem Begin, a Likud member, walked out of a
bipartisan government in 1970 in disagreement
over proposals to return parts of Israeli-occupied
territories.
However, Shamir said guidelines worked out
between the two sides ensureihat the government
would work smoothly. The Cabinet will have an
inner forum of 10 members where "some contro
versial issues will be worked out," he said.
Under the agreement, Peres will serve as prime
minister for the first 25 months and then Shamir
will take over. Shamir and Peres will serve as
foreign minister and deputy premier under each
other.
Labor will hold the defense portfolio for the
entire term, while all economy-related ministries
will go to Likud.

question only briefly during his
speech, concentrating instead on the
Middle East and pledging that "we
will never attempt to impose a solu
tion on Israel."
Reagan recalled that four years
ago "peace was eluding the Middle
East. It still does. But now we and the
state of Israel have far greater cause
for hope."
Mondale chose the B'nai B'rith
meeting as the setting for a detailed
expression of his views on religion
and politics and he lashed out at the
influence exerted by Christian funda
mentalists at the Republican Nation
al Convention last month.
"Most Americans would be sur
plised to learn God is a Republican,"
he said.
A minister's son, Mondale said, "I Rev. Jesse Jackson, who urged

dictate the religious life of our peo- gions and beliefs.
Former Defense Minister Ariel Sharon will
serve as minister of trade and commerce and will
be a member of the inner Cabinet, Israel television
reported. Sharon has been a minister without
portfolio in Shamir's Cabinet since he lost the
Defense Ministry post last year when a commis
sion of inquiry found him indirectly responsible for
the massacre of hundreds of Palestinians in Leb
anon by Israeli-allied Christian militias.
"We are in complete agreement over the compo
sition of the Cabinet and the division of labor,"
Peres said following the meeting. "What is left to
be done is to write down the guidelines and the
coalition agreement."
Shamir told reporters that pending party appro
val, he hoped a government could be presented to
the Knesset, or parliament, next week'. The
agreement must be approved by both parties
before Peres can present his government to the
Knesset.
Critics on both sides contend broad policy differ
ences between Labor and Likud and the unwieldy
size of the Cabinet at least 20 ministers will
all but paralyze the new government.
The two parties disagree on the future of Jewish
settlements in the occupied West Bank and an
Israeli peace initiative with Jordan.
Israel radio reported growing disenchantment
within the Labor Party over Peres' failure to bring
about a freeze on Jewish settlements in the West
Bank and the decision to allow Likud to hold the
finance-related ministries.
Labor has blamed the seven-year Likud admin
istration for bringing the country to the brink of
ple" and he expressed concern about
religious coercion which would "cor
rupt our faith, divide our nation and
embitter our people."
The former vice president named
the Rev. Jerry Falwell, head of the
Moral Majority, as among those who
were part of "an extreme fringe
poised to capture the Republican
Party and tear it from its roots in
Lincoln."
He added that "they are not disap
pointed in the performance of their
Republican candidate."
Mondale appeared later at a meet
ing of the National Baptist Conven
tion and told the 10,000 delegates that
Reagan planned to "undo the work of
a generation" in civil rights.

He added that "as we welcome this
rebirth of faith, we must even more
fervently attack ugly intolerance. We
have no place for haters in America."
Missing from Reagan's remarks
was an appeal for a constitutional
amendment to permit voluntary
prayer in public schools. Many Jew
ish leaders oppose such an amend
ment, for which Reagan earlier this
week reiterated his support.
