Congress Power Usurped l4m Give a man a specific assignment and practical unlimited resources to accomplish it, and then him loose with few restrictions, and he be human if he stray from his al 4otted task into areas of more power and personal Satisfaction. In essence, this is the warning about the office 3)f the presidency by the American Enterprise Insti "tute for public policy research. The non-profit edu eational institution has completed a study of the present role of Congress with the conclusion that public is creating veritable threat of dictator by placing moth the office and the person the President on an exalted pedestal.

Seldom if ever in the history of the Republic congressional influence in government been at a low ebb. While the executive branch has many of the prerogatives once held by it must be noted that the third branch pf the federal system, the Supreme Court, has gone far afield from the interpretative role it was expected to play by framers of the Constitution. As the branch closest to the grass roots of politics, Congress is the essential ingredient in a representative government. Only two men in the sprawling executive bureaucracy are put in by the voters, and not that much of the ju branch. The task force of U.

S. scholars which examined the modern Congress and did not like what it saw has made some recommendations to bring congressional power back into balance, including resident agents of Congress throughout the land to in that congressional directives are enforced and of wider congressional access to independent federal agencies. Enumerating the traditional prerogatives and powers which Congress has lost to the execu ltive and judicial branches in recent years would be almost an endless task, but the powers to declare war and exert independent judgment on the federal Jjudget are two which have been seriously eroded. This Congress shows no willingness to begin Reversing the course of congressional demise, but the next one will. iuh Of The Matter The controversy over importation of farm work from other countries is far from ended.

The one- IVote margin by which the Senate approved con to allow the secretary of labor to restrict of foreign workers assures that there will be efforts to modify the present setup. The seeming complexity of the issue, and the pressure brought to bear, were evidenced by the fact the Senate was deadlocked until Vice President cast the decisive vote. This came on a bill amendment to transfer from Labor to Agriculture the power to decide when foreign farm Workers are needed. Sponsors felt that such a Change would make more foreign labor available That would be to the advantage. Their concern is to have enough cheap labor available for tending and harvesting their crops.

But in considering the question one must remem- nZber that other interests are also involved. American jgrnigrant farm workers want improved working conditions and pay, not determined by what foreign ijabor accustomed to lower standards will accept. consumers want cheap fruit and vegetables, irijret in their role as citizens of a democratic society must also be presumed to want a fair break fior the migrants. In the last analysis this is the nub of the matter. there have been difficulties in the transitional period, it is a sound premise that if growers high enough wages they can attract all the domestic labor they need.

But if field workers get better pay, there may have to be small increases in the of some vegetables and fruits.

Mildred-Dawson Outing Crucial In First Week Of District Play The calendar says there are still eight weekends of District 18-B football left, but just possible there will be no need for seven of them. With non-district play barely completed, a showdown is building up for Friday. The teams involved: Mildred and Dawson A more unlikely pairing could hardly be imagined.

presence, of course, seems right the Eagles are defending champions and have so far shown themselves just about as good as last squad. The puzzler, at least seemingly, is how Dawson got there. But anyone who has watched the Bulldogs this year probably surprised a bit. Memories of the disastrous 1964 season are buried, and Coach Ed new regime has patted down the earth on the grave. The Bulldogs have scored only 21 points in two games so the same number the Eagles posted in both their victories came over tough and highly regarded opponents, Whitney and Hubbard.

At this juncture, it looks as if the game at Mildred this weekend could well decide the title outcome. The loser, of course, be out of it. But before he can represent the district, have to see the winner drop two later games. The way Dawson and Mildred have so far been going, that appear very likely. Another title contender, Blooming Lions, suffered a blow to their hopes when they fell to Crawford, 36-0.

The Lions have lost twice already, and may have a hard time getting started in district play. Kerens bowed to Elkhart ny the same score. Perhaps the biggest disappointment, the Bobcats have failed to jell, scoring only 14 points in threa lopsided defeats. They will need some high- powered reviving if they intend to get back into the thick of things. Other district teams have yet to display much strength.

Wortham lost to Fairfield 54-13, and Italy was racked by Ferris 20-fi last weekend, while Frost and Bynum stood pat with 0-2 records. Action this weekend, featuring all district games, will see Dawson at Mildred; Frost at Kerens; Bynum at Wortham, and Italy at Blooming Grove. Season Standings Team Blmg.

Opens Plant Duncan, Okla. DALLAS, Sept. 29 (Spl) Haggar Company of Dallas, for which Corsicana Company manufactures Haggar Slacks, has announced the opening of a ninth plant to be located in Duncan, Oklahoma. It is expected to be in production within several months. A new 35,000 square foot building will be constructed.

This will be the largest plant manufacturing Haggar Slacks according to J. M. Haggar, executive vice president of the film. "Over the last ten years, we have had a better than 10 per cent increase in sales annually," Mr. Haggar said.

the last several years this has been brought about primarily by our Haggar Imperial, Snug Duds and Forever Prest lines. increased production every year, it has still been hard to keep up with the demands. For instance, our Spring bookings are running 20 per cent higher than last Spring and bookings in the near future will continue at the same or greater pace. We feel this new Duncan, Oklahoma plant will relieve the production situation and will give our customers better The new plant will be the most, complete and effective in the industry. It w'ill utilize much mechanization and equipment which has been in the development stages at Haggar during this past year.

Like all Haggar plants it will have year round air conditioning, daylight-type lighting and ideal working conditions. Duncan was selected after extensive study of many locations because it best satisfied the needs, Mr. Haggar said. Duncan is about 150 miles north west of Dallas in Oklahoma. In addition to the headquarters in Dallas and Corsicana plants producting Haggar Slacks are Greenville, McKinney, Waxahachie.

(AP) Some say it looks like a gaudy movie theater. Some have likened it to a cathedral. But all agree that the modernistic, domed auditorium is as spectacular as the world-famous figures who have appeared in it. This is where Pope Paul I will speak Monday the U.N. Assembly chamber, scene of Nikita S.

shoe pounding, Fidel marathon attack on the United States, Dwight D. atoms for peace speech, and countless other dramatic episodes. Because of its Involvement in history-making events, the chamber has become one of the great tourist attractions in New York. When the Pope enters the auditorium he, like other visitors, is likely to be struck by the melange of brilliant colors. Blue and gold are predomi nant, but also present are forest green, red, black, gray and blonde wood.

The shape of the chamber is as unconventional as the color combination. All the walls are tilted, curved, or both. The sweeping curved wall behind the podium resembles a great mass of gilded organpipes. There is a gap in the center, for a giant insignia of the United Nations. Near the back of the chamber are the big conversation pieces, tw'o abstract mural3 by the late Ferdinand Leger.

These are referred to by old U.N. hands as and Bunny. Each covers a whole wall next to the public galleries and be visible to the Pope as he speaks. The pontiff will enter the chamber through the lofty-ceil inged public lobby, where he will be greeted by Secretary- General Thant. After a brief visit to the tiny U.N.

meditation room, he will ascend a long ceremonial ramp, then proceed down the center aisle to the ros trum. He will find the auditorium jammed with an audience of diplomats, invited guests and newsmen, all seated in advance of his arrival. His speech will be heard also by overflow crowds in nearby rooms.

Ford for years has donated engines, transmissions, and other automotive components to high schools for use in shop mechanics courses and to colleges and universities for use in training engineering students.

As in the case of other world figures, the Pope will be protected by stringent security measures. Only carefully screened persons will be permitted in the areas through which he will pass.

U.N. security officials expect no trouble, but they never rule out the possibility of cranks or fanatics. They offer safeguards to all important persons and so far they have never had any serious trouble in the essembly. In its 13 years, the assembly chamber has had a constant procession of kings, presidents, prime ministers and colorful personalities. It has seen African leaders in their picturesque native costumes; rightist dictators, such as Rafael Trujillo of the Dominican Republic; Communist dictators; churchmen, such as Archbishop Makarios, president of Cyprus; and conservatively dressed Western statesmen.

President Eisenhower was one of the first world leaders to speak in the auditorium. His visit was in 1953, just a year after the new assembly building w'as completed. Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson addressed the assembly in later years.

One of the big events was the 1960 gathering of heads of government which brought together Khrushchev, Casfcro, Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Indonesia's Presided Sukarno, U.A.R. President Gamal Abdel Nasser, Yugoslavia's President Tito and a score of others. Although Khrushchev and Castro got the most attention, some of the African leaders, including Sekou Toure and Kwame Nkrumah, were among the most colorful in their brilliant robes. There were others also, such as Mrs. Vijaya Lakshmi of India in her exotic saris and Queen Elizabeth II, spoke behind the green marble lectern where the Pope will stand.

One of the most dramatic was Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, the Lion of Judah, who had appeared before the League of Nations 27 years earlier to appeal for aid to save his country from conquest by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. Among the most solemn events to take place in the chamber were memorial services for Secretary-General Dag Winston Churchill, Eleanor Roosevelt and Adlai E. Stevenson. Most of the top political figures of the postwar era saw the auditorium at one time or another, with notable exceptions. One of them was Churchill, who along with Franklin D.
