Dukakis gaining Jackson’s voters
PHILADELPHIA — Mich
eal Dukakis routed Jesse Jackson in
the Pennsylvania Democratic pri
mary Tuesday night, certifying his
status as presidential front-runner.
George Bush won a resounding Re
publican victory and predicted the
state would deliver the final delegates
needed to clinch the nomination.
Jackson was gaining 27 percent of
the Democratic vote and said he in
tended to compete through the end of
the primary season on June 7.
“The race is not to the swift and the
strong,” he said. “I’m a long-distance
runner. It’s too close now to turn
around.”
Network polling place interviews
contained news that was as good for
Dukakis as his vote totals.
Though Jackson gained more than
90 percent support from blacks, ABC
polling analyst Doug Muzzio said
that for the first time in the campaign
season, Dukakis was winning a ma
jority of voters who cited the poor and
elderly as their chief concerns —
voters Jackson won in prior contests.
He said Dukakis also was winning
voters who cited strong leadership
and ability to make a change, a group
that Jackson usually won in earlier
races.
Bush was gaining 80 percent to 11
percent for dropout Sen. Bob Dole
and 9 percent for former television
evangelist Pat Robertson.
President Reagan agreed to drop
his studied show of neutrality and
bestow his blessings on his vice presi
dent in a White House meeting.
The vice president campaigned
across Ohio during the day.
The Associated Press delegate
survey indicated that by winning
most of the delegates at stake, Bush
would make his nomination a mathe
matical certainty. Dukakis sought a
large majority of the 178 Democratic
National Convention delegates at
stake in a drive to pad his lead over
Jackson. Delegates were all that mat
tered in the Republican race, where
Bush long ago routed his rivals to
seize command over the race for the
nomination.
The Massachusetts governor said
his Pennsylvania victory was “a very
big boost, particularly in a state that’s
been a bell weather state in the general
elections.”
Soviets fear U.S. politics to stymie summit
WASHINGTON — Soviet offi
cials drudgingly are giving up hope of
reaching agreement with President
Reagan to sharply cut nuclear arse
nals and now fear the proposed deal
will fall victim to the U.S. political
process.
“The problem is that the American
position is moving not forward but
backward,” said Valentin Falin,
chairman of the Soviet Union’s semi
official Novosti news agency. “As far
as I can see, we don’t have enough
time to prepare any formal treaty”
before the Moscow summit May 29
June 2.
And Falin, in an interview on
Monday, worried that Reagan may
revert to the Kremlin-bashing of his
early years in office, when he branded
the Soviet Union an “evil empire.”
Falin, a non-voting member of the
policy making Soviet central Com
mittee and former Soviet ambassador
to West Germany, said the American
I
political process bears some blame
for what he called time wasted since
the summit in Washington last De
cember.
“Certainly, we cannot accomplish
in the following four weeks what we
have failed to do in four months,”
Falin said. “Certainly, we cannot
expect miracles.”
“In your country, it is a dead politi
cal season,” Falin added. “Every four
years in your political life, one year is
wasted.”
AT best, Falin said, the Moscow
summit may produce a “framework.
.. for the development of future nego
tiations. This will make negotiations
easier.”
But no Strategic Arms Limitation
Treaty is likely by the end of the year,
and it is doubtful that Reagan and
Soviet Communist Party General
Secretary Mikhail S. Gorbachev
would meet again for a summit after
Moscow, he said.
After the Moscow summit, ‘‘I do
not think that your president will have
enough authority to make obligations
which would have to be fulfilled by
his successor,” Falin said.
The Soviet official also criticized a
U.S. intelligence report saying the
Soviet economy has not improved
despite economic reforms by Gor
bachev.
Falin said the joint report by the
CIA and Pentagon analysts might
have been designed ‘‘to show the
president that the Soviet Union is
almost on its deathbed and it needs
just another push, that he should not
talk with the Soviet Union, but push
it.”
Falin challenged the pessimistic
U.S. intelligence report, and said that
under Gorbachev, industrial produc
tion rose more than 4 percent last year
and agricultural production was up 9
percent.
