"I would expect that within a year or two you would see
him become a Republican," Brodhead said.
Gramm. a 40-year-old former professor of economics at
Texas A&M, is a two-term veteran of both the House and
the Budget Committee. He has no Republican opponent in
the fall elections.
Gramm has come under heavy criticism from
mainstream Democrats during the past two years.
Several Democrats have suggested that he and others be
disciplined for resisting the party leadership s discipline
on key votes.
But so far, no action has been taken, and Gramm said
other conservative Democrats would “find that objec-
tionable."
"It's hard to argue that I haven't been an effective
member" of the committee. Gramm said.
But one key House Democratic aide said a separate vote
is likely in the House Democratic caucus on whether to
grant Gramm's request to retain his committee seat.
"I expect there will be an attempt to take him off," said
the aide, who asked not to be identified by name. "I can't
imagine that he will go unchallenged. There's likely to be
a separate vote on him."
All Democrats win their committee assignments by a
decision of the party's Steering and Policy Committee,
subject to a ratification of the full caucus, which is com-
posed of all Democratic members.

WICHITA FALIS, Texas i AP) - Rep. Phil Gramm of
Texas, who critics contend is a Republican in Democratic
clothing, says he will consider switching to the GOP next
year or returning to Texas A&M University if ousted from
his House Budget Committee seat.
“If I were denied my committee assignment, it would be
a very serious provocation," he said Tuesday during a
visit here. "If and when that ever happens ... I would have
to look at all my options."
Those options would include "serving out the two years
and going back to Texas A&M, or switching parties," he
said.

Democratic leadership and in favor of Republican-backed
budget and tax alternatives on the House floor, is one of

“He got me out and went over the top of the bed through

Federal jury
acquits Cryts
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Wayne Cryts, the
farmer who got into trouble when he removed soybeans
from a grain elevator that had gone bankrupt, has been
acquitted of interfering with a law officer.
A U.S. district court jury deliberated about two hours
Tuesday afternoon before returning the verdict.
Cryts has been in and out of the courts in Arkansas over
the past year in the complicated bankruptcy case.
The latest charge against him stemmed from an en-
counter with Deputy U.S. Marshal Chuck Papachio in
Gravette on Aug. M. Cryts was in the northwest Arkansas
community to serve as grand marshal of a parade when
Papachio tried to seize the van Cryts was driving as par-
tial payment of a bankruptcy court claim.
On June 7, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Charles Baker had
ordered Cryts to pay 8287,000 to cover losses suffered
when Cryts took 33,000 bushels of soybeans from the
bankrupt elevator. Baker had ordered the soybeans sold
to satisfy the elevator's debtors.
Cryts, of Puxico, Mo., has refused to pay the money,
saying the soybeans rightfully belonged to him. He also is
appealing the ruling.
The beans were among the tons of grains farmers had
stored in 11 Missouri and Arkansas elevators owned by
James Brothers Co. of Coming, Ark, which filed for
bankruptcy in August 1980.
That feller on Tierra Bianca Creek says an old timer is a
guy who remembers when he could buy a pound of steak

7.6 billion bushels of this
