Soviets replace defense head
By United Press International
MOSCOW — Marshal Nikolai Ogarkov, the Soviet military's chief of staff and defender of the downing of a Korean airliner last September, has been removed from his post, the official Soviet news agency Tass said yesterday.
Marshal Sergei Akhromeyev, first deputy chief of staff, replaced ogarkov, who was the second most important man in the defense hierarchy, Tass said.
Ogarkov, 67, gained international
prominence last September as the man chosen to explain why Soviet fighter planes shot down a Korean Airlines 747, killing 269 people.
He appeared at a rare news conference then, saying the decision was justified because the plane was part of a U.S. spy mission over sensitive Soviet military installations.
Ogarkov has been involved in every major military campaign of the Soviet Union since World War I. It was not clear whether he was removed to assume another post, or if he was fired in a military shakeup.
Western diplomats said it was too early to weigh the significance of the brief announcement.
"Nikolai Ogarkov has been relieved of the post of chief of the general staff of the U.S.S.R. armed forces, U.S.S.R. first deputy defense minister in connection with a new appointment," Tass said.
The Tass announcement coincided with news that Secretary of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko will meet in New York on Sept. 26, despite the current chily relations between Moscow and Washington.
MOSCOW — Three Soviet customers circling the Earth aboard the Salutum 7 space station yesterday broke the 211-day space-endurance record.
Soviets break own space record
By United Press International
The new record was set at 12:10 a.m. Mozov time today (3:12 p.m. CDT yesterday) by Leond Kizim, Vladimir Soloyuv and Olg Altek.
The previous record was set by cosmonauts Valentin Lebedev and Anatoly Berezovoy, who returned to Earth on Dec. 10, 1982 after
completing 211 days, nine hours and five minutes in space.
Under the rules of the International Aviation Federation, however, the trio will have to exceed the old mark by 5 percent, or another 10.5 days, to be entered in the record books.
The three blasted off from their central Asian space station on Feb. 8 and entered their Salyut-7 space station the next day to begin orbiting the Earth.
The cosmonauts have been living and working in an area only 20.4 feet long and 13.2 feet in diameter within
the 50-foot long cylindrical space station.
Atkov, a physician, has reported his colleagues in fine condition throughout the long mission.
The their home for the past seven months includes such amenities as a table, shower, toilets and berths fixed to walls. It also contains a moving track and a special bicycle to counter the effects on their muscles of prolonged weightlessness.
There was no official word on when the cosmonauts would return to Earth.
