<p>Bolstered by the referendum, Russia's President talks tough
</p>
<p> Heads will roll! So promises Boris Yeltsin if officials in his
government continue to oppose his reforms. In a nationally
televised address 11 days after his strong showing in a national
referendum, Yeltsin declared that those who do not share his
aims "should simply leave," and called for new parliamentary
elections by the fall. The President's prediction of a battle
with the parliament over his new draft constitution, which would
scrap the conservative Congress of People's Deputies, was
immediately fulfilled: parliamentary leaders presented their own
rival draft, specifically designed to limit the President's
powers.
</p>
<p> Meanwhile, hard-liners and security forces continued to
blame each other for Moscow's May Day riots in which 600 people
were injured. Communist demonstrators planned another rally
Sunday to mark the World War II victory over the Nazis. But as
law enforcers braced themselves for more violence, Yeltsin said
he would not allow "a second civil war."
