New Russian premier
named by Gorbachev
MOSCOW (AP) - Nikolai I.
Ryzhkov, a 56-year-old
technocrat, has been named
Soviet premier in Communist
Party leader Mikhail S. Gor-
bachev’s latest apparent move
to modernize and streamline the
Soviet Union’s economy.
Ryzhkov replaces Nikolai A.
Tikhonov, 80, who was reported
retiring for “health reasons.”
Since Gorbachev became par-
ty general secretary in March,
he has stressed the need of br-
inging youth and vitality into
party and government ranks.
Ryzhkov had been a Politburo
member for only five months,
and turned 56 Saturday.
The official Soviet news agen-
cy Tass said Tikhonov’s resigna-
tion and the appointment of
Ryzhkov were approved at a Fri-
day meeting of the Presidium of
the Supreme Soviet, the national
Parliament.
It was not clear whether
Tikhonov would retain his
membership in the Politburo,
the party’s 13-member policy-
making body. In a brief
dispatch, Tass said he resigned
as head of the Soviet Union’s
huge government bureaucracy
on recommendations from his
doctors.
Ryzhkov was a first deputy
chairman of the government
planning agency from 1979 to
1984. He has been the Party Cen-
tral Committee secretary in
charge of economic administra-
tion since November 1982.
Ryzhkov is the youngest Polit-
buro member after Gorbachev,
who is 54. He was named a full
member of the body at a Central
Committee meeting on April 23,
without serving the traditional
term as a candidate or non-
' voting member.
Six weeks after he took over as
party leader following the death
of President Konstatin U.
Chernenko, Gorbachev brought
three of his backers, including
Ryzhkov, into the Politburo and
ousted rival Grigory V.
Romanov in what was viewed as
a swift consolidation of power.
During a July 2 parliamentary
1 session, Foreign Minister Andrei
A. Gromyko was moved from
the post he held for nearly three,
decades and made president and
head of state — a largely
ceremonial post — in an ap-
parent bid by Gorbachev to gain
a freer hand in setting foreign
policy.
In his new post, Ryzhkov will
chair the Soviet Council of
Ministers, a Cabinet-like body
that oversees government
operations.
The huge governmental struc-
ture, which includes 64 ministers
and dozens of independent state
committees and organizations,
has been subjected to much
change under Gorbachev.
At least 10 ministers have been
replaced this year, and further
shakeups are expected as the
party and government prepare
for the 27th party congress in
February.
In a brief acceptance speech,
Tass said, Ryzhkov gave “heart-
felt thanks” to the party Central
Committee for choosing him to
receive “this great honor.”
In announcing the change of
premiers, Tass said Tikhonov
submitted a letter of resignation
to Gorbachev in which he said
his health had “considerably
deteriorated lately.”
His retirement came as a sur-
prise to many in Moscow, since
Tikhonov was^scheduled to
deliver the main report of the
council of Ministers to the
Februarypartycorigress. -
Tikhonov was named a full
member of the Politburo in 1979
and became premier in October
1980.

Overtime ruling not
likely to be upset
WASHINGTON (AP) - It is
unlikely Congress will act before
the state of Texas and 21 Texas
cities have to pay about $37
million in overtime to employees
because of a retroactive U.S.
Supreme Court ruling, an aide to
Rep. Tom Loeffler said Friday.
On Thursday, Loeffler tried to
attach an amendment to the
Department of Labor appropria-
tion bill that would exempt
states and cities from the
Federal Labor Standards Act.
The House Appropriation^
Committee rejected the amend-
ment 27-13.
The amendment would have
overturned a U.S. Supreme
Court ruling earlier this year pn
a 1979 case from San Antonio.
The court said that states add
cities must pay overtime in ac-
cordance with the federal labor
law instead of granting compen-
satory time off.
The ruling goes into effect bn
Oct. 15 and is retroactive to April
15.
Loeffler, R-Hunt, said the rul-
ing will cost states and
municipalities about $3 billion
nationwide.
Loeffler press secretary Allan
Krauter said Loeffler knew that
even if the committee approved
the amendment, it would likely
be challenged on the floor as out
of order because it is legislative
language in an appropriations
T>m.,
’ *Buf Loeffler felt "something
had to be done, ’ ’ Krauter said.
A bill that would exempt the
states and cities is pending
before the Education and Labor
Committee, but “they probably
won’t even meet to mark
anything up until the enforce-
ment date?’ said Krauter.
The Texas Municipal League
estimates the overtime costs for
21 Texas cities will be at least $17
million.

PANAMA CITY (AP) - Presi-
dent Nicolas Ardilo Barletta’s
resignation was accepted by the
National Assembly Saturday,
and the lawmakers convened to
inaugurate a successor.
Ardito Barletta’s resignation
followed reports that the
military and labor and business
groups were pressuring him to
cut short his five-year term.
The 47-year-old economist
took office on Oct. 11,1984, after
a narrow electoral victory wide-
ly criticized as fraudulent.
The National Assembly’s deci-
sion to accept the resignation of
Panama’s first democratically
elected president in 16 years was
announced on national televi-
sion.
The assembly was expected to
inaugurate the first vice presi-
dent, Eric Arturo Delvalle, 49,
whose succession is assured by
the Constitution.
Ardiro Barletta had been at-
tacked for promoting austerity,
measures to end the Latin
American country’s worst
economic crisis in 50 years.
The nation’s foreign debt is
$3.8 billion.
In a nationwide television ad-
dress broadcast Saturday, Ar-
dito Barletta said that forces
within his governing coalition,
as well as the Defense Force,
“consider that they can no
longer work with my presidency
to carry out the government ac-
tions necessary at this time to
pull the country out of the dif-
ficult circumstances it is in.”
He added: “I wish to make a
contribution to the keeping of
peace in our country by
separating myself from the of-
fice to which I was elected.”
