At the same time, McGuire released a 10-month report on New Mexico's War on Poverty to Gov. Jack M. Camp- bell.

Like Bronc Rider McGuire, who sometimes feels like a brone rider who has just lost the reins, has no authority when dealing with the various local War on Poverty agencies but when something goes wrong, the often is the guy who is blamed. But after 10 months as the state's only OE0 director, job which he admittedly took some reluctance and apprehension, Frank isn't discouraged and he sees better days ahead. and the various agencies are working on making some needed changes in the program and this is McGuire said.

WIECK Of The Journal's Washington Bureau WASHINGTON The House, by only a 20-vote margin, Monday plunged into debate on the 1966 Civil Rights bill amidst signs that its controversial "open occupancy" provision was in serious trouble.

New Mexico's two House members threw their lot with Republicans and southern Democrats who opposed open housing in the test vote on the Civil Rights bill. Both Rep. Tom Morris and Rep. E. S.

Johnny Walker said that the section (Title IV) of bill is the only one of the major eight titles they opposed. The vote came as the House agreed, 200 instead to 180 of to sending take up it to the House Rules Committee for further study.

Hass, president corporation, said it will have an annual capacity of 1.7 million barrels of cement and will serve the entire New Mexico market.

The plant will make it possible for Kaiser Cement to market cement in New Mexico for the first time. The project is almost identical with one planned by the Kaiser organization, whose cement division was then known as Permanente, 10 years ago. Plans for the plant at that time were abandoned when Ideal Cement Co. won the jump on Permanente and started its Tijeras Canyon plant near Albuquerque. It was the consensus at that time that the New Mexico market would not support two large cement plants.

The trip was then called off at the last minute by the officials of the program, who said they didn't want to get Sanchez into any trouble.
