Generally described as the president of Russia, Yeltsin is technically chairman of the Russian Federation's Parliament.

If he were to win direct election to the new post, he could claim a popular mandate that Gorbachev, chosen by the national Parliament, cannot.

With the vote being as much a referendum on Gorbachev and his reforms as on the country's future shape, initial returns showed deep political divisions in two key republics, Russia and the Ukraine. While more than 70 of those who went to the polls in most outlying regions endorsed Gorbachev's concept of a "renewed" Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, barely half of those in Moscow and Leningrad voted for it.

Early results from the country's first national referendum show that Gorbachev has won the mandate he wanted to preserve his country's unity, but far less convincingly than he had hoped.

Suspect in disappearance questioned Former Clermont County man arrested in Alaska, asked about slayings BY DICK KIMMINS Enquirer Columbus Bureau COLUMBUS, Ohio It may cost more to have your taxes done, get a haircut and, perhaps, even to plan a funeral under the 1992-93 state budget Gov. George Voinovich sent to the General Assembly on Monday. While fees for some personal services represent only a tiny fraction of the plan, they reflect Voinovich's attempt to raise state revenue without imposing new taxes. In his first budget, Voinovich proposes spending $25.9 billion in 1992 and $27.1 billion in 1993. Voinovich said his budget' depends on tax collections down because of the recession rebounding by the end of September.

"If the bottom drops out of the economy, all bets are off," he said. Most of the money would go where Voinovich said it would in his State of the State speech to education, children's services, welfare and health care. Most of the money comes from taxes on personal income and sales receipts. Honoring a campaign pledge, Voinovich did not call for new taxes. But he identified $600 million in "revenue enhancements" previously untapped sources of state income.

"We built the first budget on no additional tax or revenue changes at all on the first go-around," state Budget Director Greg Browning said. "But the governor and I decided that it just wouldn't be a responsible budget. We just couldn't do that." For example, Voinovich proposed spending in 1992 one-half of the state's current $300 million "rainy day" fund. "It's raining now. We decided to take some of it," Browning said.

Voinovich also plans to increase annual state license fees for accountants, barbers, beauticians, engineers and embalmers. ArTembalmer's example, would increase from $75 a year to $100 a year. Barbers would be asked to pay $25 a year, instead of $20 a year for their license. License holders would be expected to pass on their increased cost of doing business about $3 million more to their customers. Gilford McKitric, a barber at Cosmopolitan Barber Shop in Walnut Hills, said he would not like paying more for his license.

"Why do they have to pick on us barbers?" he asked.

Last year, the county received payments on more than 500,000 traffic and parking tickets by mail, he said. Deters still must ask the Hamilton County Municipal Court to approve the program, but he said municipal judges encouraged the change. If successful after a 90-day test, the program probably would expand to include other misdemeanors, Deters said.
