U.S. Acts to Enhance Image After Talks

White House officials, expressing unhappiness over news accounts of President Reagan's stance in his meeting with Mikhail S. Gorbachev, have begun one of the most extensive public relations efforts of the Reagan Presidency. The officials say their goal is to reverse the emphasis of newspaper and television reports that, in their view, portrayed President Reagan's adherence to the Strategic Defense Initiative as the major reason for the leaders' failure to agree on a major arms control accord in the meeting last weekend in Iceland. President Reagan and his key advisers today began a series of interviews and speeches that, according to White House aides, are aimed at placing the blame for the outcome on the Soviet leader. As part of the effort to get domestic support and counter potential criticism abroad, Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman, said today that all officials would speak on the record.

FIRST REACTION: POLL SHOWS ARMS-CONTROL OPTIMISM AND SUPPORT FOR REAGAN How the Poll Was Taken
Date: 16 October 1986

The American public's initial reaction to the Reykjavik summit meeting is quite supportive of President Reagan and very optimistic about the future of arms control, a New York Times/CBS News Poll shows. But there was no indication in the survey that this support had translated into advantages for Republicans in the November elections. Voting preferences among the 767 Americans interviewed by telephone Tuesday and on Wednesday morning were unchanged from the views of those same respondents two weeks earlier. Public reactions may deepen or swerve as the issue is debated, but the survey suggested that Mr. Reagan had, at the least, put his stamp on the first impressions in the mind of an American public that rarely focuses intently on foreign-policy issues. The poll was conducted as Administration officials, after President Reagan's nationally broadcast speech Monday night, have been offering their view of events through dozens of newspaper and television interviews in what they describe as one of their most intense public-relations campaigns.

SPLINTERING OF ONCE-SOLID SOUTH POSES NEW PROBLEMS FOR DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Date: 16 October 1986
By Robin Toner, Special To the New York Times

The shifting allegiance of Southern whites, once solidly Democratic but now increasingly independent or Republican, has dramatically altered the political landscape throughout this region, according to political analysts. Even in an off-year election, without a popular Republican President on the ballot, Democrats in some key races around the South are finding it difficult to assemble the biracial coalition so long essential for their success, these analysts say. Just how fragile those coalitions can be is apparent here in Alabama, which could elect its first Republican governor in more than a century after a bruising battle for the Democratic nomination. Not long ago, many Southern Democrats dismissed Republican victories as historical anomalies, the byproduct of President Reagan's popularity or the vulnerabilities of a particular Democratic opponent. Indeed, Alabama's gubernatorial election has followed a distinctive course as Democrats splintered over the choice of a successor to Gov. George C. Wallace.

A journalist from Colombia, invited to the United States by Columbia University to attend ceremonies honoring Latin American journalists, was being detained yesterday by the Immigration and Naturalization Service after her name appeared in the service's ''Lookout Book.'' Immigration officials declined to specify why the journalist - Patricia Lara, 35 years old, a reporter for El Tiempo, the leading newspaper in Colombia - had been denied admission to the United States after her arrival in New York on Sunday night. A State Department official, who did not want to be identified, said Miss Lara had been placed on the list, ''based on classified information,'' but would provide no details.

Baxter Travenol Laboratories said that it had begun a restructuring that results from its acquisition of the American Hospital Supply Corporation last year. The company said it had reduced its operations to five groups from 10 to reduce overhead and management levels. A spokesman said that it was too early to assess the impact of the steps, which affect mostly the company's hospital and medical specialty businesses, both of which will be streamlined into one group from three.
