But lately, he's turned his attention to Africa by TON JONES These shoes are fun of holes to make the perfect summer cooler on your feet.

3 eyelet tie or slip-on with fantastic nitro crepe sole with a steel shank Rippies vp-MIANn SHOES STRATO Jmx I 9-12 7Vfe-13 8-11 Late for two scheduled meetings, Congressman Charles Diggs Jr. arrives at his office, three blocks from his Capitol Hill home and parks his late model Ford Mustang, decorated with congressional seals and a "Sagittarius" window sticker. There are two pieces of legislation awaiting his review before Congress convenes at noon, and a staff advisor is anxious to meet with him. Grumbles from other staff members signal that the sometimes hard-to-please Diggs could be in an unpleasant mood. He has had an exceptionally heavy work schedule this week, which included a trip to Detroit Unlike his Detroit staff, which is composed mostly of long-time loyal friends, the 30-person Washington staff is internally competitive, each member vying for his attention.

When he enters the office, he greets his guests and directs them into his office. The three white members of the American Committee on Africa are in Washington to persuade U.S. policy makers to back liberation factions in African countries seeking independence. Diggs and his top African advisor, Herschelle Chancelor, listen sympathetically, then offer support Speaking in slow, deliberate spurts, Diggs is handling this group with the same ease that makes him so influential with many of his colleagues. As the senior member of the Michigan congressional delegation and the longest serving black member in Congress (21 no size 12 Vs size 13 -S2 extra years), Diggs' unassuming and seemingly unruffled manner is the antithesis of many of his peers.

Although he lacks the earthiness of Coleman Young, the second glance good looks of John Conyers, the eloquence of Percy Sutton or the powerful assertiveness of Barbara Jordan, Charlie Diggs is the man who often sets the pace among his colleagues and rarely tires from the tedious demands that make his constituency Detroit's 13th district one of the most difficult in the state. He is the quiet power broker. "Charlie is one of the most effective legislators here and he has one of the more difficult jobs," said Rep. Gilbert Gude, who has served with Diggs on the House District Committee for 10 years. As chairman of the committee, which oversees operation of the District of Columbia, Diggs is the only black representative to head a full committee.

And though his position was slightly diminished when the district was granted home rule in 1974 (he was a strong supporter of home rule), his authority, according to colleagues, is strong. "The D.C. committee was a real hornet's nest when I first came here," said Gude. "The committee was not sympathetic to the city. But now that's different and Charlie has been responsible for the change in attitude." To bring about that change in attitude DIQQS i SANFORD 2i "(Juantity COLOR SHOE NAME 1 NAME AIMIOCCC IciTY ZIP- STATE.
