20A Paris July 3, 1977 Texas politicians ready for July 4th GOP primaries Several may announce for senator, governor may draw many AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) July 4th has been a traditional date for politicians to try out their campaigns on Texas voters and this Independence Day will be no exception. Rep. Bob Krueger, D-Tex, has invited one and all to his home place near New Braunfels for an announcement that most think they already know that Krueger is going to challenge Sen. John Tower, R-Tex.

Krueger, who already has a campaign staff hard at work, is making the first announcement but he is far from being alone in the 1978 Senatorial race. Tower has made no formal announcement but he makes it plain he has no other plans than to run for another six- year term as Texas senior million cast in 1972, another likely entry. October.

As soon as the July 11 special legislative session liked to run for governor if Briscoe had other plans, apparently has a clear road in both parties for re-election as lieutenant governor.

Flanary is a former Parisian and was in private practice with his brother, C.V. Fianary of Paris, before joining Hill's staff in 1971.

"Flanary's six years experience as an attorney in consumer protection, insurance, banking and securities law will enable him to provide some meaningful leadership in this division," Hill said. Flanary, 38, was one of the organizers of the Attorney General's Economic Crime Unit. The Cooper native is a graduate of the University of Texas School of Law and was formerly a state comptroller of public accounts in Austin. He is married to the former Linda Baker of Paris, daughter of Mrs. Margret Moisture short in some areas BILL FLANARY Consumer Protection Baker of Paris, and they have two children, Michael Sean and Linda Michelle.

Flanary also is the brother of Don Flanary of Paris. COLLEGE STATION Soil moisture is still short in some counties of Northeast Texas, according to the weekly crop report issued by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service. Recent rains, the report shows, have boosted hay crops as well as sorghum, corn and soybeans. Midge are active in sorghum fields. The report also shows that watermelons, peaches, peas and other vegetables are being harvested in the area.

In North Central Texas, which includes the western reaches of The Paris News circulation area, the report shows that rain is needed to boost crops and forages, particularly corn, sorghum, hay crops, recently-planted soybeans, and peanuts. Peach harvesting continues active and livestock are in good shape with marketing active. Over the state, crops and livestock conditions are generally good. Moisture conditions are still spotted, with some sections of the state having received good rains during the past week. Much work remains on energy proposals WASHINGTON (AP) While some of the toughest elements of President Carter's energy plan were approved by the House Ways and Means Committee last week, a long summer remains before Congress completes work on the package.

After the committee completed work last week, Rep. Ullman, chairman of the panel, said: "Our measures have a long way to fly before they reach the President's desk." One stop along the way is the House ad hoc energy committee, which must take the work of five House committees and recommend changes before passing the energy plan along to the full House. By July 13, the ad hoc panel is supposed to pick up where the other committees left off and deliver its recommendations to the House by Aug. 1. But both the House and Senate are now on a 10-day July 4 recess.

They also will be out of session for most of August and the first week of September. Thus, neither the full House or Senate is likely to go to work on the energy plan until mid-September. who also would have liked to run for governor without Briscoe in the race, is seeking re-election without visible opponents. The 1978 Democratic primary could turn into a three-ring attraction if a hot race developes for attorney general, should Hill take himself out of the office. Considered sure Democratic candidates are Secretary of State Mark White and former House Speaker Price Daniel Jr.

Houston Dist, Atty. Carroll Vance has expressed his interest in the race also. On the Republican side, considerable interest is shown in Jimmy Baker, Houston attorney who was former President Gerald Ford's campaign manager. A big question mark in Texas politics is the state treasurer's race. Treasurer Jesse James, 72, Democrat, had his left foot amputated earlier this year but has not said yet if he plans to run for re-election.

Former Austin city council member Lowell Leberman, Democrat, is poised and ready for campaign action, with a well-filled campairn treasury. Don H. Johnson, Houston oil engineer, has already announced as a Republican candidate. WASHINGTON (AP) Senate Republican leader Howard Baker says 11 or more Republicans may battle for the 1980 GOP presidential nomination in what he predicts wilt be a long series of "full throttle" primary contests. He says he's not ready to place his own name on the list.

In an interview in his minority leader's office, Baker assessed the current political situation and suggested the 38 Republicans he leads in the Senate may turn out to be that body's most cohesive and politically potent force. Baker said he has encouraged both former President Gerald R. Ford and former California Gov. Ronald Reagan to consider the possibility of another presidential bid. The others, whom he said either have expressed an interest or have been mentioned by others, include five senators, one House member, one mayor and two governors.

They include Sens. Charles H. Percy, Mark O. Hatfield, Richard S. Schweiker, Bob Dole, and Paul Laxalt, R- Nev.

He also mentioned Gov James R. Thompson of Illinois and Robert D. Ray of Iowa. Baker said Rep. Jack Kemp of New York might be on such a list as well as Mayor Pete Wilson of San Diego, a possible contender in the California governor's race described by Baker as "a bright young Republican." One of the five committees, the House commerce panel, narrowly voted last week to kill deregulation of natural gas and approved Carter's plan to raise the ceiling on natural gas prices.

The full commerce panel will again vote on deregulation following the July 4 recess. Its members also rejected mandatory residential insulation and restored a voluntary program urged in the President's energy plan. Other votes must still be taken on coal conversion and utility reform. The Commerce Committee, which is handling most of the nontax portions of the plan, will not meet its July 13 deadline for finishing work, but House Speaker Thomas O'Neill is reportedly pleased with progress so far and is not urging quicker action. Additional praise for Congress came Irom White House tax adviser Laurence Woodworth.

Carter's victories in the Ways and Means Committee may not insure ultimate passage, but those votes will nonetheless shape the direction of later battles in the House. save 60 sale 139 Reg 199.957 pc. dinette has a beautiful (ire pecan heat and slain proof plastic top and chrome finished legs. 42" 42" 60" oval table top with one 18" leal. 6 chairs covered in "maple valdez" vinyl.
