FROM AP WIRES
MOSCOW (API - In the
biggest Kremlin power shuffle
since the overthrow of Nikita
Khrushchev in 1964, Soviet Com-
munist party chief Leonid
Brezhnev replaced Nikolai
Podgorny today as president of
the Soviet Union.
Brezhnev. 70, the nation s un-
disputed political boss, ala-* con-
tinued as general secretary of
the party. He is the first person
in Soviet history to hold the
posts simultaneously although
he served as president before he
took over the top party Job.
Lenin, Stalin and Khruschev
each was simultaneously party
chief and premier.
He potnteu out tne merger will bring to
Baytown the advantages of having a large
holding company as a part of the community
while continuing the personal touch and
cent of Peoples State Bank.
Established in 1936, Peoples State is the ae-
cond largest bank in the five-bank Baytown
Perry W. Britton, chairman of the board at
Peoples State Bank. Thursday said be has been
notified of approval by the Federal Reserve
System Board of Governors in Dallas for First
International Bancs hares, Inc. to acquire the
bank
In October, 1976, directors of the bank agreed
in principle to an exchange of all the bank's
stock for 111,000 shares of First International
■toctomiitock.
The proposal is subject to approval of other
regulatory authorities.
Total deposits at the bank. Britton said,
amount to 931,062,000.
Britton said there will be no change in
management of the bank, its directors or staff as
a result of the proposed merger with the Texas-
based holding company.

Pint International includes 23 Texas bank, a

He predicts the merger will broaden the range
of customer services available to Peoples State

credit capacity.

president of the bank early this year

Trahan said Wednesday.
Trahan said the hospital is
generating sufficient revenue.
The problem lies in collection of
insurance claims.
Chambers County com-
missioners recently approved
payment of $22,968.33 to the
hospital for June, bringing the
total subsidy since January to
$129,099.54.
The amount put the hospital
over its yearly budget allotment
of $120,000.
Trahan told commissioners,
"We're about $100,000 behind in

Podgorny was not present.
Following the parliament's
approval of Podgomy’s
retirement, Brezhnev was
proposed for the presidency by
Mikhail Suslov, the party's top
ideologist. The proposal was
adopted unanimously.
“I would like to assure you,
my dear comrades, that I will
give all my forces to the
achievements of the people in
the construction of com-
munism,” Brezhnev said to
enthusiastic applause.
"I will do my best in order
that our country and peace on
the globe may be strengthened
and peace and cooperation
among peoples may develop,”
he added.
Suslov praised Brezhnev for
“organizational ability and
dedication to the cause of the
Communist party of the Soviet
Union.” He also lauded his “out-
standing personal qualities” and
"selfless labor for the sake of the
motherland.”
