Charles Rangel. (DHarlem) has invested a lot of cal capital in his proposal to build a $93 million Harlem World Trade Center. He gave President Carter his vote to remove price controls on natural gas. He supported Carter in a district that overwhelmingly voted for Ted Kennedy. And he labored long and hard for hospital cost containment on behalf of Carter, even though it bombed in Congress.

Now it looks like all was for naught. Rangel's President is gone and the Reagan team doesn't seem to care that Carter committed himself in principle to helping the $93 million project get off the ground. Rangel met last week with new Housing Secretary Samuel Pierce, a New Yorker who is the only black in the Reagan cabinet, but he pretty much got a cold shoulder. When Pierce didn't seem to know what Rangel was talking about, the lawmaker suggested that an urban development action grant would go a long way toward helping build the center. Pierce didn't bite and he pointed out that the grant program was being scaled down considerably.

An exasperated Rangel left the meet- ing with nothing to show for it. "We met the people who control the ax and I'm begenning to feel like the chicken who got his neck chopped off," he complained to his staff. Reapportionment rumors: Nobody is sure down here how the 1982 redisricting will play out, but several new developments have clouded the picture. Where once alomst everyone in the delegation thought that Rep. Jonathan Bingham (D Bronx) would retire after this term, the Bronx lawmaker is more confident than ever that he will run again.

That would probably pit him in a head-to-head match against Rep. Robert Garcia, another Bronx Democrat. The Brooklyn lineup now reportedly will pit Reps. Leo Zeferetti and Fred Richmond against each other and the almost sure match-up is between Reps. Stephen Solzarz and Charles Schumer.

One friendly reapportionment chat took place recently in Rep. Bill Green's office. The Manhattan Republican asked Democratic colleagues Ted Weiss and Rangel to come by and they had a "nice little get-together," in the words of one aide. Finally, the status of Rep. Guy Molinari, who last week was thinking about quitting Congress to run for Staten Island Surrogate, added new uncertainty to politics in that borough as well as Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Ever wonder why someone would give up a $68,700 job three months after taking it Molinari cites lots of sensible political reasons for thinking about the judgeship, but he doesn't talk about the little pains that a congressman from the minority party feels even if his party controls the White House. Molinari asked for tickets to the inauguraual "gala" starring Frank Sinatra, and was refused. And he invit-( ed a bunch of friends and supporters down from Staten Island to go to the inaugural events. Only about half of them got in and to say the least Molinari was displeased. Now, with his threat of resignation, at least party leaders are talking to him.

Life imitates art. Rep. Weiss has scheduled a hearing next week that, will feature actor Jack Klugman (TV's a witness testifying about; an episode Of the show that dramatized the problem of sick persons who need drugs that are not manufactured here because they are not profitable. It's hard to see how Klugman is an expert on so-called "orphan drugs" such as L-5-hydroxytrypophan and car-bidopa, but maybe a few cameras will show up to see an impassioned Quincy plea for justice. Stay tuned.

Watch for a power play by the Big Four Irish-American lawmakers to diminish the power of Rep. Mario Biaggi (D Bronx), the head of the controversial Irish caucus in the House that has long been linked to militant Catholic groups in Northern Ireland. The Big Four Daniel P. Moynihan, Hugh Carey, Thomas (Tip) O'Neill and Ted Kennedy have never liked Biaggi's caucus. In fact, representatives of the Big Four (Kevin Cahill and Peter Quinn representing Carey and Tim Russert representing Moynihan) recently spent sev-eral days in England with the Ditchley Foundation mulling Irish-English issues.

Biaggi's folks were not invited, but they were on everyone's mind at the conference. One lawmaker, Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn went on Irish television criticizing the Biaggi group. Biaggi and Carey are in a row over another matter at the moment. Biaggi sent a letter last week to Carey accusing the governor's secretary, Robert Morgado, of "deception" over plans to develop the Seventh Regiment Armory on Park Ave.

and 68th St. in Manhattan. Biaggi has introduced a bill that would halt "demolition or substantial change" of the armory, which he claims the state wants to tear down. Morgado's letter claimed that the situation was in New York City's hands. TESIIIS OFF LPGA event By HANK MACHIRELLA GOODLY NUMBER of persons from Long Island's business, Ld'tml religious and political communities turned out last week at the' luncheon announcing the fifth annual $125,000 Western Union International LPGA Classic to be played July 13 to 19 at the Meadow Brook Club in Jericho.

Particularly noteworthy about this tournament, since its move to the prestigious Meadow Brook course one of the country's finest is the fact that 100 of the gate receipts go directly to some 32 Long Island charities. When anyone buys a ticket for the event, the check can be made out to the charity of his choice. Some of the participating charities include the local Nassau and Suffolk chapters of the heart and cancer funds, Boy and Girl Scouts, several religious groups and smaller projects like the Hope for Youth program. It is also the only national pro tour event held on Long Island, which is definitely one of the nation's more concentrated golfing areas. Unfortunately, in the first couple of years of the tournament the turnouts, due to weather and other factors, were not what they should have been.

LAST YEAR THE galleries were much larger and tournament chairman Vince Aprigliano predicts that the 1981 WUI Classic will be the biggest ever. Because of the purse and the location of the tournament it always has drawn a top field of LPGA players. For two years In a row (78 and 79) it was won by one of the LPGA's all-time great players, Judy Rankin. Last year it was won by Sally Little, already a winner and top money leader on this year's tour so far. Back in 1977 the winner was Debbie Austin, with Nancy Lopez and career money leader Kathy Whitworth as runners-up.

Another plus for the WUI Classic is that tickets are priced very reasonably, at $5 for any day of the four-day, set for July 72-hole tournament and only $15 for the entire event During last week's WUI luncheon, Nassau County Executive Francis Pur-cell complimented WUI's president and chief operating officer, Ed Gallagher, on his continuing efforts in making this event one of the Island's outstanding annual attractions and a top fund-raising affair. ONE OF THE INITIAL contributions to the tournament was made by well-known golfer and philanthropist Stan Shapiro, who hosted the luncheon at his Swan Club in Glenwood Landing. Stan is a member of the Sands Point CC and annually hosts a popular charitable event there for the retinitis pigmentosa organization. And for Queens reader John T. Diffley, we never had any intention of slighting our one and only New York City native on the PGA Tour, Bill Britton.

Lately, Bill, who began his golfing career playing on Staten Island's two fine publinx courses, Silver Lake and La Tourette, has had two or three good finishes on the 1981 tour, especially at San Diego and the Hawaiian Open. The 25-year-old, ex-Florida University golfer has the finest of local credentials in being a two-time winner of the Metropolitan Amateur and the youngest player (at 23) to win the Metropolitan Open, one of the oldest and best sectional tournaments. He turned pro just before the 79 New York State Open at Grossingers, where he immediately picked up an $1,800 check for third place. Keep an eye on young Bill this year in upcom ing PGA Tour events. The Metropolitan Golf Association's new president, Joseph A.

Donahue, just announced that the association's offices have been moved from 60 E. 42d St in Manhattan to 125 Spencer Place, Mamaroneck, N.Y. 10543. The officers and staff of the MGA are optimistic that the new location will encourage more committeemen and club officials to visit the more accessible site, just southeast of the Mamaroneck railroad station and a few minutes from 1-95. lV i i V'.

i i a. si Rep. William Carney (R-Suffolk) was tapped by President Reagan to be among 48 dignitaries who greeted Pope John Paul when he made a refuelsing stop from his Asian trip in Anchorage, Alaska, recently. It was his first trip to Alaska. "Those people are unbelievable," said Carney.

"They don't believe in making laws. They just borrow the laws they need from Washington state. And, oh man, do they hate the government" It was music to the ears of the only elected Conservative Party member to Congress. Rep. Charles Rangel.
