Gramm will not run for Senate United Press Internationa] DALLAS — Texas congress man Phil Gramm, criticized by the party faithful for helping write the Reagan administra tion’s economic program, says he will stay in the Democratic party and seek re-election. His announcement Sunday at a fund-raising event put to rest reports he might seek a Senate seat. “I’d love to run for the Senate but there is a job to be done where I am,’’ said Gramm, D- Texas. He was referring to the new economic proposals whose fate in his opinion will be de cided in the House. About 1,100 persons, includ ing many Republicans, attended the fund-raising event and helped raise more than $100,000. Gramm was confident the Reagan administration will be able to balance the budget by 1984 because of its determina tion to reduce government spending. “We’ve shut down the expan sion of government,” he said. If enough conservatives win dur ing next year’s elections, Gramm said, “the pro-spending element will be out of power for the rest of the century.” Saying he would never vote on the basis of partisanship, Gramm declared: “The people didn’t elect me to go to Washington to do what (Speak er) Tip O’Neill and (Majority Leader) Jim Wright tell me to do. They sent me to defeat those boys and we’ve done it.” Among those who helped organize the event were com puter millionaire H. Ross Perot, First Baptist Church Pastor W.A. Criswell, and Gill Clements, son of Gov. Bill Cle ments.

Cosme tic surgery the next year straight ened his nose, corrected his wink and made him to talk. Since then, Big Tex has greeted fairgoers and kept them up to date with each year’s festivities. This year’s 17-day extravaganza opens Oct. 9 with the theme “Going Places, Doing Things.” Fairgoers will be able to find everything from Ronald Reagan’s favorite candies to Elsie, Amer ica’s favorite cow, in the exhibit buildings at Fair Park.
