Gorbachev takes Soviet post;
Chernenko funeral Wednesday
MOSCOW (AP) — Mikhail Gorbachev, at 54
the youngest member of the Soviet Union’s runlin
Politburo, ascended to power in the Soviet Union
Monday upon the death of long-ailing President
Konstantin Chernenko.
The Kremlin announced Monday afternoon
that the long-ailing Chernenko, ‘‘staunch
fighter... for Communism,” had died at 7:20
p.m. Sunday of emphysema and related cardiac
difficulties. He was 73.
Within five hours a second announcement
came — that Gorbachev had been chosen to suc
ceed the late Soviet president in the most impor
tant Kremlin post. Communist Party general
secretary.
It was not known whether Gorbachev would
also be made president, as Chernenko and his two
predecessors were. That designation is made by
the Supreme Soviet, the national parliament.
Chernenko’s death and Gorbachev’s assump
tion of Soviet leadership meant a lightning shift
away from the aged elite that has ruled this
secretive nation for two decades.
Chernenko was the third Soviet party leader
and president since 1982, and his tenure — from
February 1984 until Sunday — was the shortest
ever for a Kremlin chief.
The sudden transition at the top came on the
eve of U.S.-Soviet nuclear arms-control talks in
Geneva, Switzerland, reopening after a 16-month
suspension. The delegations announced Monday
they would begin the discussions as scheduled
Tuesday.
From Washington, President Ronald Reagan
sent a message of condolence to the Soviets, say
ing, “I wish to reiterate the strong desire of the
American people for world peace.”
The American chief executive told reporters
he eventually would ‘‘like to have a talk...a
meeting of minds” with Gorbachev. But he ruled
out attending Chernenko’s funeral, saying he
"didn’t see anything that could be achieved” by
coming to Moscow.
Vice President George Bush is to head the
U.S. delegation at services for Chernenko
Wednesday.
According to Soviet news agency Tass.
Chernenko would be buried in Red Square, where
all but one of his predecessors — the ousted
Nikita Khrushchev — are interred.
Gorbachev said in his acceptance speech
Monday that the Soviet Union wants “a major
reduction of the arms stockpiles.” He pledged to
strive for arms control so "the peoples of the
world would sigh with relief."
He said the Soviets "value. . .the relaxation
of international tensions achieved in the 1970s"
and would welcome peace accords based on
respect and cooperation. But he also stressed the
importance of maintaining the Soviet "defense
capacity.”
Although Gorbachev's accession to the seat
of Lenin and Stalin marked a transition to a new
generation of leadership, it was not expected to
mean major alterations in either Soviet foreign or
domestic policy.
He is considered a staunch supporter of Yuri

Coors Co. official urges state
to overturn pasteurization law
SALEM (AP) — An Adolph
Coors Co. executive says
Oregon could generate • several
million dollars ih new business
activity by repealing-a state law
that prevents the retail package
sales of Coors beer.
Peter Coors also says that
while union officials want to
keep Coors out of the state, most
Oregonians think the. Colorado
beer manufacturer should be
allowed to. market its product in
Oregon.
The company official’s com
ments Monday were aimed at
state laws that prevent the jetail
package sales of unpasteurized
beer while.allo.wing'the sale of
unpasteurized beer by the drink
in taverns.
Coors, which uses a filtration
process rather than pasteuriza
■ tion.to purify its beer, has been,
working in the courts and in the
Oregon Legislature to try to get
the law changed.:
Speaking to the Salem
Chamber of Commerce,.Coors
said allowing retail sales of
Coors beer would result-in up to
$5 million in new business ac
tivity in Oregon.
That would include new
distribution facilities, as well as
marketing and advertising pro
grams, said Coors, a division
president of the Golden, Colo.,
brewing company.
"I think it could be very
substantial," Coors said.
He also characterized as
"distortions" the claims made
by union officials and some
legislators that Coors is anti
union and discriminates against
women and minorities.
Despite those charges, the
company’s beer sales in taverns
around Oregon have been better
than expected, he said.
Market research indicates that
Oregonians "see no reason that
Coors, as a legitimate product,
shouldn’t be marketed in this
state.” Coors said.
