Gen. Mikhail A. Moiseyev, identified by Soviet television today as the acting head of the armed forces, has supported arms control agreements with the United States but in many ways remains an enigma to American officials. General Moiseyev, the Soviet Chief of Staff, may have been lucky to be on vacation far from Moscow when hard-liners staged their ill-fated coup three days ago, according to American officials. They also suggested that he might have planned to be away to avoid being blamed if the coup failed.

President Mikhail S. Gorbachev credited foreign radio stations such as BBC, Voice of America and Radio Liberty yesterday with keeping him informed on what was happening during the three days that he and his family were held incommunicado at his Crimean villa. At his news conference yesterday, he said that after all the phones in the house went dead, members of his personal staff found some radio receivers in the servants' quarters and hooked up antennas.

New Heights for 2 Russians in U.S. Poll

Date: 22 August 1991

The coup in the Kremlin improved the standing among the American public of both the Soviet President, Mikhail S. Gorbachev, and Boris N. Yeltsin, President of the Russian federated republic, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll. The poll, conducted on Tuesday evening before concrete reports yesterday that the coup had collapsed, found that 66 percent of 605 Americans interviewed had posititve opinions of Mr. Gorbachev, while only 5 percent expressed an unfavorable view. That represented a surge in Mr. Gorbachev's standing among Americans compared with a Times/ CBS News Poll in June, when opinion was 40 percent favorable and 10 pecent unfavorable. Although fewer Americans knew enough about Mr. Yeltsin to offer an opinion, the expressed sentiment was favorable by nearly 3 to 1: 28 percent had a favorable opinion of Mr. Yeltsin, while 10 percent had an unfavorable view. This was the first time opinions about Mr. Yeltsin were measured by The Times and CBS News. In July an NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll, using a differently worded question, found 12 percent of registered voters had "positive" feelings toward Mr. Yeltsin and 8 percent "negative." The new nationwide telephone poll, conducted two days after the beginning of the Kremlin coup, had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus four percentage points, although polls completed in just one day can be subject to additional error. President Bush's overall job approval rating continued to be high: 73 percent of Americans approved of the way he is handling his job as President. Seventy-four percent also expressed "confidence in George Bush's ability to deal wisely with a difficult international crisis." The American public indicated a high level of attention to the events in the Soviet Union. Thirty-five percent of respondents said they were following news about the Soviet Union "very closely" and another 43 percent said "somewhat closely."

Street Heroism Paints The Images of a Coup

For three days the tube was awash with Soviet experts, Moscow correspondents, Washington officials and news anchors whose schedules and vacations had been disturbed. But once again, it was the pictures that told the story: the tanks on the move in Moscow and then on the move out; Boris Yeltsin atop a tank calling for defiance and then before the Russian Parliament calling for punishment of the men who had planned the coup; the coup masters submitting to a news conference that would have made for a "Saturday Night Live" skit if so much had not been at stake.

Soviet Radio Reflects Shift

Date: 22 August 1991

Following is an excerpt from a broadcast today as the coup collapsed, as monitored and translated by the BBC from Radio Mayak, a Soviet radio station: After the bloody events of last night in Moscow, the journalists of Mayak decided not to fulfill the instructions of the illegal and anti-constitutional so-called Council on the State of Emergency. From the very beginning of the coup we were deprived of the chance to transmit honest and objective information about the tragic events taking place in the country. An hour ago at a meeting of the journalistic work force, we were joined by other departments of radio and TV and representatives of the technical services. We shall try to inform you fully and accurately. We hope that our desire to remove the current discredited heads of radio and television broadcasting concords with yours.

NEWS SUMMARY

Date: 22 August 1991

AFTER THE COUP A10-18 The Soviet coup abruptly collapsed, and President Gorbachev returned to Moscow to reassert control. The coup seemed simply to fizzle under the disdain of the masses who rallied to the summons of Boris Yeltsin, and the irresolution of the plotters, who failed to garner support.

Macy's to Join Outlet Trend

Date: 22 August 1991

Joining the ranks of retailers with stores devoted to selling excess inventory at bargain- basement prices, R. H. Macy & Company announced yesterday that it would open five clearance stores in outlet malls or free-standing locations around the country. A company spokesman said Macy's had based its decision on the success of its six warehouse clearance centers. But unlike those clearance centers, which are typically adjacent to or near Macy's regular stores, the new close-out stores will be located in outlet malls, which have been gaining popularity among shoppers.
