U.S. sees positive interview tone

c. 1984 N.Y. Times News Service WASHINGTON The White House said Wednesday that it welcomed “the constructive tone” of Konstantin U. Chernenko’s remarks in an interview Tuesday on the possibiity of improved SovietAmerican relations. But it rejected the Soviet leader’s contention that the United States was to blame for the lack of progress in arms control matters. In a statement to The Washington Post, published also by the Soviet press agency Tass, Chernenko repeated a seven-month-old list of Soviet proposals that if accepted, in full or in part, “would mean a real shift both in Soviet-U.S. relations and in the international situation as a whole.” The previous reaction of the Reagan administration, the Soviet leader said, “was simply to shirk responding to our proposals.” Chernenko was not specific on what “a real shift” would mean. The Post reporter said a Soviet source said American acceptance could lead to resumption of the stalemated negotiations on nuclear arms But senior Reagan administration officials said that they were very skeptical of this,

'This bud's for you'okay for florists, too CLEVELAND (AP) - Budweiser beer can’t stop a local florists association from using the slogan “This Bud’s for You,” a federal judge has ruled. “If there is anybody in this country that can use the word bud in connection with their product line without interfering with Anheuser Busch, it’s got to be florists,” Christopher B. Fagan, attorney for the Florists Association of Greater Cleveland, said Wednesday. “We’re happy the court agreed with us on that point.” Anheuser Busch Cos. Inc. had asked for a preliminary injunction, but U.S. District Judge Ann Aldrich denied the request last Friday. She said beer and flowers are “totally unrelated” and it is “absurd” to believe anyone would confuse the two. “No consumer called any florist asking to be delivered a six-pack; nor did any consumer call Anheuser Busch seeking to purchase two dozen roses,” the judge said. ‘‘The marketing channels for the products are totally different.”

and that they remained adamantly opposed to making concessions just to get a resumption of negotiations. Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman, said the administration had not detected any change in the “substance” of the Soviet position, “but we do welcome the constructive tone.” “We cannot concur in the apparent Soviet view that it is incumbent upon the United States to pay a price so that the Soviet Union will come back to the nuclear negotiating table,” Speakes said. “When the Soviet Union is prepared to move from public exchanges to private negotiations and concrete agreements, they will find us ready.” Vice President George Bush, in a speech Wednesday to the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, said that the interview was “a positive sign.” “What is important in the Chernenko interview is the tone of his rhetoric. The tone was not confrontational and there will be a balanced United States response to it.” Walter F. Mondale, the Democratic presidential candidate, commented that it was up to the administration to study the

15 die in New Jersey hotel fire

PATERSON, N.J. (AP) A fire started by a disgruntled employee swept through a nine-story residence hotel early today, trapping some residents and forcing others to jump from windows, authorities said. At least 15 people were killed and 55 injured. A part-time employee who had argued with the night manager of the 60-year-old Hotel Alexander Hamilton was arrested for investigation of arson, said Mayor Frank X. Graves Jr. Passaic County Prosecutor’s Investigator Robert Daniels said the suspect would be charged today with one count of * arson and 13 counts of murder. The blaze broke out about 12:15 a.m. in the 150-room downtown hotel occupied by about 300 permanent residents and tran-

interview “and ascertain what it means.” “As with any Soviet proposal, you have to look at the fine print and some of these ideas such as ‘no first use’ are clearly not in our interests,” he said. “We have only one president at a time and it is up to Reagan to explore this proposal seriously and determine its significance.” The former vice president was referring to Chernenko’s call for a joint pledge not to be the first to use nuclear weapons. Chernenko’s remarks were "being studied closely by Secretary of State George P. Shultz, Robert C. McFarlane, the national security adviser, and Soviet experts in the administration, who were intrigued by the apparent Soviet decision to seek maximum publicity for Moscow’s policies only three weeks before the American elections and four days before President Reagan debates Mondale on foreign policy and national security issues.

Lottery ticket sales soar as Illinois totals mount

SPRINGFIELD. 111. (AP) - The Lotto craze sweeping Illinois has helped boost lottery profits by 74 percent during the past three months, adding more than $129 million to the state treasury, officials say'. The Illinois State Lottery reported Wednesday that lottery profits rose from nearly $74.2 million in the first three months of fiscal 1984 to more than $129.2 million in the first quarter of the current budgetary year. Lottery ticket sales also soared to $301.5 million during July, August and September a69 percent increase over last year, officials said. And prizes to winners reached $l4O million in the first quarter, up 70 percent over last year. “The Illinois State Lottery continues to be an important provider of revenues to help support education and other social-service programs throughout the state,” Governor Thompson said. Proceeds from the lottery are

that’s why our statement started out on a positive tack.” "But when you get down to the substance, they are still insisting that we have to pay some price for there to be any progress, and we simply won’t pay a price just to see if the Russians will resume negotiations.” Chernenko was quoted as saying: “We stand for good relations with the U.S.A. and experience shows that they can be such.” "This requires a mutual desire to build relations as equals, to mutual benefit and for the good of the cause of peace,” he said. Although he held the Reagan administration responsible for the failure to reach agreements on pressing arms control matters, he said “there are considerable possibilities in Soviet-American relations, very considerable possibilities.” Speakes, reading from a printed statement, said, “We agree with President Chernenko that there is no sound alternative to constructive development in relations between our two countries.”

Officials attribute part of the increase in sales to “Lotto Fever” in late August when the prize grew to S4O million and was awarded in a 20-year annuity to Michael Wittkowski. The fever’s persistence was demonstrated by a $2 million jump Wednesday in the Lotto grand prize for this week, which rose from sl2 million to sl4 million on the strength of heavy ticket sales, a lottery spokesman said. This week’s guaranteed cash prize which would be divided evenly between winners if more than one person matched all six numbers was $5.5 million, the spokesman said. • “In August, many people who never played the lottery before spent $1 to take a chance on winning a S4O million, 20-year annuity,” said Lottery Superintendent Michael Jones.

The fire, spread through air shafts, engulfed four or five floors, said Fire Chief William Comer. “There was very poor visibility, panicky people, unconscious people lying on floors,” said Battalion Chief Frank Crampton. "We took them out of all the windows and down all the staircases.” The blaze quickly escalated to three alarms, and firefighters from nearby Passaic, Clifton and Hawthorne joined Paterson’s full force, said fire Capt. Domenick Cotroneo. “We have people trapped, we have people jumping, people with burns and smoke inhalation,” Cotroneo said.

President won't visit Grenada invasion site to mark first anniversary

c. 1984 N.Y. Times News Service WASHINGTON The head of the Agency for International Development, and not President Reagan, will represent the United States at celebrations in Grenada marking the first anniversary of the American invasion last October, State Department officials said Wednesday. There had been speculation, particularly among Democrats, that the president would visit the island for the anniversary late this month on the eve of the presidential election. But the officials said Wednesday that M. Peter McPherson, administrator of the Agency for International Development, will represent the United States at ceremonies Oct. 28 to mark the anniversary and to dedicate the new Point Salines airport, completed with about sl9 million in U.S. funds. White House aides have said there may be an observance of the invasion in Washington later this month, but no official plans have been announced.

Blizzards persisting out West By The Associated Press The second Western snowstorm of the week crawled across the central Rockies today, dumping up to 10 inches of snow on parts of Nevada, killing a skier in an avalanche, sending cars skidding across highways and leaving power lines tangled with trees. Some parts of Utah’s mountains were subjected to “near blizzard-like conditions,” while blizzards were reported Wednesday in several canyons, the National Weather Service said. Winds gusted to 58 mph at Tooele and a foot of snow was on the ground at Park City. A 31-year-old skier from Dillon, Colo., was killed Wednesday in an avalanche near Mount Kelso, west of Denver, authorities said. The storm brought brief, violent lightning that started a string of power outages throughout Salt Lake County. As the lightning subsided, tree limbs weighed down by three inches of snow pulled down more power lines. Winter storm warnings and travelers advisories were issued from as far south as northern Arizona and New Mexico to Utah and southern Idaho. “This has some potential for heavy snows of more than 4 inches,” said forecaster Stan Sigler in Cheyenne, Wyo. “Whatever happened to autumn, is what I would like to know. Autumn came on a Thursday this year. Did you miss it?” “It’s typically what you’d get in December or January,” said forecaster Ed Carle in Salt Lake City. Forecasters said the new storm stalking the Rockies was not expected to grow to blizzard intensity like its predecessor. A third, stronger storm system was expected to arrive this weekend. The new storm caused numerous power outages and fender-bender accidents as it crossed Nevada during the night, with up to 10 inches of snow at Donner Summit in the Sierra Nevada. Sierra Pacific Power Co. reported numerous outages throughout northwest Nevada as the heavy snow snapped and tangled power lines. Snow fell Wednesday afternoon from northeastern Nevada to western Colorado and in the afternoon moved over Colorado’s more populous Front Range, where only about 2 inches of snow was expected.

tion, during campaign appearances, and he frequently gets enthusiastic reactions. During a briefing Wednesday, one of the State Department officials said the new airport, planned and started by Cuban engineers, was virtually completed and would be able “to handle any size aircraft flying today.” Last year, while Grenada had a proCuban Marxist government, Reagan expressed concern that the airport, then in the early stages of construction, could be used for military purposes by Cuba or the Soviet Union. Asked Wednesday if the administration was still concerned that the airport could be used for military purposes, one of the officials said: “No, not if we are the ones using it.” He also said U.S. military transport planes and other American military aircraft had been using the runway to bring in supplies for the approximately 230 Americans still on the island and for the military personnel stationed in Grenada by other Caribbean nations.
