romyko assumes post
as new Soviet president
Associated Press
I MOSCOW — Andrei A. Gro-
inyko, the glum architect of Kremlin
diplomacy during the Soviet Union’s
Imergence as a superpower, was
fiamed his country’s president Tues
day, and a Foreign Ministry outsider
I is picked to succeed him.
Gromyko’s choice as chairman of
e Presidium of the Supreme Soviet
is unexpected, and was seen by
estern diplomats here as another
oof of the speed and sureness with
lich Mikhail S. Gorbachev has sha-
n up the Kremlin leadership since
: took power March 11.
The Soviet Parliament’s awarding
the title of head of state to the 75-
ar-old Gromyko, foreign minister
r the past 28 years, was viewed by
me as the crowning of a promi-
:nt career.
Others said the chief Kremlin dip-
ther iir‘B” mat a PP arent ly been eased
but ' nt0 a lar g e ly ornamental post, and
jokesma P oss '^y rnove J out of the decision-
^^Bnaking process.
Gorbachev had spoken of the de
sirability of fusing top party and
state responsibilities in one man, and
It had been widely expected that the
refighten current session of the Supreme So
viet would elevate him to the govern
mental position left vacant by the
death of Konstantin U. Chernenko.
But Gorbachev, who nominated
Gromyko as president, told Soviet
parliamentarians that pressing do
mestic concerns now make a split of
the functions desirable.
However, the deputies also
named Gorbachev to the Presidium
of the Supreme Soviet, which would
allow the Soviet party chief to rep
resent the Soviet Union officially at
international gatherings in place of
Gromyko.

The Soviet Parliament’s
awarding of the title of
head of state to Andrei A.
Gromyko, foreign min
ister for 28 years, was seen
by some as the crowning
of a prominent career.
In Washington, administration of
ficials who spoke on condition they
not be identified said Reagan and
Gorbachev would meet in Geneva,
Switzerland, Nov. 19-21. There was
no immediate official confirmation
from either the United States or So
viet Union.
Gromyko’s election by the 1,500-
member Supreme Soviet, the coun
try’s nominal parliament, was fol
lowed in one day by the elimination
of one-time Gorbachev rival Grigory
V. Romanov from the Politburo, the
Communist Party’s supreme deci
sion-making body.
Eduard A. Shevardnadze, head of
the Communist Party in the south
ern republic of Georgia, was elected
by the Supreme Soviet to succeed
Gromyko as head of Kremlin diplo
macy.
Th 57-year-old Shevardnadze,
little experienced in foreign affairs,
had been elevated to full Politburo
membership from hon-voting status
a day earlier.
The appointment gives a Commu
nist Party functionary operational
control of the Foreign Ministry and
passes over many veteran diplomats
who have served for years in the So
viet foreign policy establishment.
The Supreme Soviet also elected
Yegor K. Ligachev, a Gorbachev
supporter recently named to the 13-
man Politburo, as chairman of the
Foreign Affairs Commission of the
Soviet of Unions, one of two cham
bers of the nominal Soviet Parlia
ment.
Western observers said that based
on practice, the move indicated Li-
gacnev is now the Kremlin’s No. 2
man, second only to Gorbachev, and
probably the Soviet leadership’s
chief ideologist.
At 62, Romanov was young to step
down from the supreme Kremlin
policy-making body. The absence of
official praise for his services sug
gested he was ousted. The official
Soviet news media said Romanov
asked to be relieved for health rea
sons.
A Communist Party member for
more than a half-century, Gromyko
began his diplomatic career under
Josef V. Stalin, serving as ambassa
dor to the United States and later to
Britain before Premier Nikita S. Kh
rushchev named him foreign min
ister in 1957.
Western diplomats, commenting
on condition they not be identified,
said the election of Gromyko as pres
ident and his replacement by She
vardnadze was evidence of Gorba
chev’s gathering strength.
A State Department official in
Washington who spoke on condition
he not be identified said Gromyko
was still apparently close to Gorba
chev, and suggested the Soviet
leader may be keeping his more ex
perienced senior at his side to aid in
the transition.
Israel to
release
300 Shiites
Associated Press
TEL AVIV, Israel — Military
sources said Tuesday that Israel will
release 300 of the Shiite prisoners it
has held in Atlit prison.
The prisoners — whose release
was demanded by hijackers of a
TWA airliner — will be taken from#
the Atlit military prison, 30 miles
south of the Lebanese border, and
set free north of Israel’s security
zone in south Lebanon, Israel radio
said.
The remaining prisoners will be
released soon, depending on the se
curity situation in south Lebanon,
the radio said.
Israel has released in stages more
than 500 prisoners from among
1,167 brought from Lebanon April
2 as the Israeli army was withdraw
ing from Lebanon.
“We made it clear then that they
were brought on a temporary basis
to Israel, that we intend to release
them, that we would release them in
accordance with the development of
the security situation in southern
Lebanon,” Defense Minister Yitzhak
Rabin said Monday.
Government and military sources
insisted there was no link between
the release of the 39 Americans and
release of the prisoners held by Is
rael.
Rabin said the prisoners had been
scheduled for release June 5, but
their release was delayed by attacks
in south Lebanon and by the hijack.
The hijackers had demanded release
of the prisoners held by Israel, but
Israel would not set them free while
the hijackers held hostages.

Pope asking Slavs in Eastern bloc
to overcome divisions in Europe
looked lo
ion after
82.
Associated Press
Paul II on Tuesday extended his
hopes for solidarity to fellow Slavs in
the Eastern bloc, appealing for reli
gious freedom and efforts to over
come divisions in Europe.
In the fourth encyclical of his pa
pacy, the Polish-born pontiff lauded
two ninth century saints who
brought Christianity to the Slavs and
set down his vision of a Europe spiri
tually united by a common culture
and religion.
The pope’s 47-page letter was
phrased in milder terms than he has
sometimes used to denounce human
rights violations in Poland and else
where in the Soviet bloc.
At a news conference, Vatican-
based Czechoslovak Cardinal Jozef
Tomko conceded the pope’s lan
guage was guarded, saying this was
due in part to the “delicate situation”
the church faced in the East. He did
not elaborate.
“Tough words would only have
been counter-productive,” said a Va
tican source who spoke on condition
that his name not be used.
The encyclical was issued just be
fore a visit to Czechoslovakia by the
Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal
Agostino Casaroli, for a commem
oration ceremony July 7 marking
the work of the saints. Casaroli flew
to Yugoislavia on Tuesday en route
to Czechoslovakia.
The pope alluded to Czechoslova
kia’s failure to invite him to the com
mmemoration, saying “that I will be
present at least spiritually.”
The encyclical, entitled “Slavorum
Apostoli” (Apostles of the Slavs), was
issued in commemoration of the
ninth-century evangelizing work of
Saints Cyril and Methodius. An en
cyclical is a papal letter informing
the church and its members of mat
ters of importance.

GIRLS WAIT!
Thinking of a perm? Have you ever gotten a perm that
turned out dry and frizzy? Or maybe you’ve gotten one that
wasn’t the type of curl you wanted. If so let me explain some
reasons why this has probably happened: almost every perm
available to hairdressers (and even those available on grocery
shelves) are made to be as trouble-free to stylists as possible;
therefore, they say “processes in 20 minutes - no test curl
needed, cannot overprocess!” So theoretically if Sally, Jane and
Betty all use this perm their hair.will turn out perfect every time -
sorry it doesn’t work like that. Each girl has different hair types
and each requires special attention. Sally’s curl will form in 10
minutes -so if you leave the solution on for those extra 10 min
utes her hair will turn out very dry and probably frizzy - Jane’s
hair is strong and resistant to a curl therefore 20 minutes will
present a weak curl formation - it probably won’t last a month.
Then there is Betty - she’s had a perm ever since high school
and her hair isn’t in good condition so it’s going to require spe
cial pre and post perm conditioning treatments. Get the idea?
Now most hair stylists aren’t going to take the extra time to take
test curls and even if they do - I’ve found many don’t even know
what to look for and many will even do another cut while you’re
processing...
Don’t want any of the above to happen to you? I don’t either.
That’s one of the reasons I became a hairstylist. I saw too many
girls get their hair ruined by some uncaring hairstylist. The
other reason is that I love to do hair and I know how to do it
right. Whether I’m cutting or perming your hair you’ll be getting
the special attention you deserve. Hope to see you soon ...but
only if you care -
