MOSCOW — The Soviet
Union on Monday honored its
young troops, many of whom
have died in Afghanistan, for
courage and heroism and told
young party members in the
military to heighten combat
readiness.
Pres. Konstantin Chernenko
presented the Order of the Red
Banner to army and navy Kom
somol groups at what was said
to be the first conference of
Komsomol military leaders in
more than 20 years.
The order was the first in
stituted by Vladimir Lenin,
founder of the Soviet state, to
honor Bolshevik fighters. The
Soviet Union says the order,
which features an unfurled
scarlet banner depicting blood
shed by revolutionaries, is
reserved for those "most
courageous, most staunch and
best prepared for sacrifice."
There was no mention of
Afghanistan in the announce
ment of the award to Kom
somol, the youth branch of the
Communist Party.
Some Soviet soldiers and their
families have written letters to
newspapers asking why there
was not more public recogni
tion of troops' valor. A few
Soviet soldiers have detected in
Afghanistan and talked about
poor troop morale.
The Soviet public is told there
is a limited number of troops in
Afghanistan doing mostly
civilian duties.
The Pentagon estimates there
are 108,000 Soviet troops in
Afghanistan now, that 20,000
troops have been wounded and
10,000 have died since the in
tervention began in December
1079. There have been uncon
firmed reports of high casualties
in a recent Soviet offense
against Afghan insurgents.
According to Radio Moscow,
Chernenko presented the
Order of the Red Banner to the
Komsomol "for courage and
heroism displayed in battle for
the motherland and for success
in educating young
servic emen."
An official at Komsomol head
quarters said as far as workers
there knew, the last conference
of Komsomol military leaders
was in 1%1.
Soviet leaders have been call
ing tor a greater role by the
Komsomol in promoting the
party's ideals and combatting
Western influences among
young people — aims referred
to by Chernenko in his speech.
I he Komsomol is lor people ag
ed 14 to 28 and is a stepping
stone to full Communist Party
membership.
r—
Chernenko and Defense
Minister Dmitri Ustinov warned
at the meeting of heightened in
ternational tensions and the
need for vigilant combat
readiness, Tass said.
"Of course this award arouses
the leeling of sincere joy,"
Chernenko said. "But I am sure
it will not prevent us from con
ducting a serious and
businesslike conversation about
major tasks facing the army
Komsomol. The more so, since
they have to be tackled in a
complex international situation,
in the conditions of a notably
heightened military danger, the
threat of nuclear war and very
acute ideological struggle."
He said imperialist reac
tionaries launched an un
precedented arms buildup, but
that the Soviets would strive for
better relations.
Solon says
taxes to rise
ASTORIA — Pres. Ronald
Reagan will seek tax increases to
cut the federal deficit if he is re
elected, Sen. Bob Packwood
predicts.
In messages to Senate
Republicans, Reagan has im
plied several times that he will
ask for ''revenue
enhancements" to cut the
deficit, Packwood said in an in
terview Sunday.
Congress probably would
follow Reagan's lead and ap
prove the taxes, the Oregon
Republican said.
The president hasn't said what
form the tax increases would
take, Packwood said.
He predicted, however, that
Reagan would try to reduce
spending as much as possible
before asking for new taxes.
"We haven't had a president
as conservative as this in a long,
Icang time,” Packwood said.
"He's going to squeeze as much
out as c an."
Packwood said tax increases
would show that the administra
tion is serious about cutting
deficits, generate confidence
among investors and lead to
lower interest rates.
Packwood arrived in Astoria
Saturday afternoon and left for
Portland by U.S. Coast Guard jet
after touring Air Station Astoria
Sunday morning.
The big light
gets snuffed
WASHINGTON — The light
will dim over most of the United
States on Wednesday when, as
Eskimo legend has it, the sun
and moon leave the sky to
c hec k up on earthly activities.
To the more scientifically in
clined, the event is an annual
eclipse of the sun, and it will be
at least partly visible in every
state except Alaska, according
to astronomers at the U.S. Naval
Observatory.
The Southeast will be the best
place to watch — with 99.8 per
cent of the sun covered for
viewers along a line from just
north of New Orleans to just
south of Richmond, Va. But ex
perts warn against looking
directly at the eclipse.
Officials of the Naval Obser
vatory stressed that at no time
will it be safe to look directly at
the sun. The sun will never com
pletely disappear and the inten
sity of the light from even the
small visible area can severely
damage the eyes.
Use of a cardboard with a
pinhole to focus the image of
the sun on a second sheet of
cardboard is recommended. But
do not look through the pinhole
at the sun. As a safe alternative,
they suggest, watch the event
on television.
The eclipse isn't total because
the path of the moon around
Earth is not a perfect circle. The
(loser the moon is to Earth, the
bigger it appears; the farther
away the smaller. Thus,
sometimes the moon blocks out
the whole sun and sometimes,
as this time, it doesn't.
The eclipse will begin out in
the Pacific Ocean at 6:54 a.m.,
and will move eastward across
Mexico and into the United
States. It will be most visible in
the late morning and early after
noon. It will peak, for example,
at Petersburg, Va., at 9:43 p.m.
PST.
Can't fool us
he didn't talk
CINCINNATI (AP) — Marcel
Marceau, the renowned mime,
calls painting his "second life."
Marceau, 61, visited an art
gallery in this Ohio River city
Sunday to exhibit 15 of his
original lithographs. He also
signed autographs and discuss
ed his painting.
"The reason I came to Cincin
nati was to bring, through this
exhibition, an acquaintance to
the public that Marcel Marceau
is not only the foremost mime in
the world, but also a painter,"
he said. "I show in the theater
the essence of those visions, but
through the invisible. But here, I
show the visible.
"And also I have the gift of
painting, and painting is my se
cond life."
He started painting at age 7.
As a teen-ager, he considered
mime his hobby and painting
his career, but he has since swit
ched priorities.
Jean Steichen, president of
the Art 21 gallery, brought
Marceau to the gallery.
