Gorbachev says the russian government is too authoritarian and in danger of losing control Over economic Reform a newspaper reported Friday. Gorbachev also said in fridays editions of the Komsomol Skaya pravda newspaper that his old rival russian president Boris n. Yeltsin a is not Jesus Gorbachev has previously criticized Yeltsin a government for pushing economic Reform too quickly but fridays comments were his harshest yet. Gorbachev said he never promised to stay out of Domestic politics. The comment followed Yeltsin a assertion this week that Gorbachev made such a pledge following his resignation As soviet presi Dent on dec. 25 and the collapse of the soviet Union Days later. Gorbachev said he promised Only that he would not turn his Gorbachev foundation think tank into an opposition party. A listen Yeltsin is not Jesus Christ. He is not the kind of a person to whom i should answer a Gorbachev was quoted As telling Komsomol Skaya pravda. A yes i am a private person while the existing president has been elected by the people. But How can i keep silent one said. Gorbachev also accused Yeltsin a government of pressuring the russian Media to ignore Gorbachev a recent trip to the United states. A both the right Wing and democratic press have been simply falling upon Gor of from Page 1 Down through every Wing and every base. While the Effort has been influenced by the end of the cold War and the ensuing budget cutting pressures Mcpeak said the premise of the restructuring is based on a Ordinary routine common the overriding consideration he said was to reduce bureaucracy and paperwork and emphasize operational combat. At the Wing level for example the Maxim is now a one base one Wing one under this idea the Wing commander a in most cases a one Star general a also assumes duties As the base commander. In previous years colonels have commanded some air Force wings. A total of 16 general officers has been moved from the services Pentagon Headquarters to the Field he said. A a we be made More generals available to command wings because that a where the real business of the air Force is transacted a he said. When Mcpeak took Over As chief of staff in october 1990, two wings were commanded by general officers. That number has since risen to about 40, and Mcpeak Hopes to eventually have As Many As 60 wings with general officers at the Helm. In a related action most air divisions have been eliminated because they were seen As an unnecessary management layer in the new a one base one Wing one Bossy concept. Other changes have seen the numbered air forces such As the 16th air Force give up most administrative duties to become operations oriented focusing on flying safety and War planning. In keeping with the services Effort to build total War fighting packages that could Fly into combat at a moments notice efforts to build composite wings a those that include More than one Type of aircraft a Are proceeding apace he said. A if we re to Lead the Way in preparing for future conflicts we have to rethink How we organize air Power for maximum effectiveness a Mcpeak said.
