El Paso project may cause MO traffic jam EL PASO (AP) — The traffic jam that ate El Paso is coming soon to this West Texas city’s stretch of In terstate 10, the main artery from Jacksonville, Fla., to Los Angeles. Whether it be commuters in this dusty border city or vacationers making cross-country trips this sum mer, a project to widen part of Inter state 10 from three to four lanes will slow them down faster than a high way patrolman in a rear-view mir ror. In fact, the $25 million project to expand a 2.9-mile section of the highway is expected to ground traf fic to a crawl, officials said. Local residents can skirt the sec tion under construction by taking side streets or vary their commuting hours to and from work to avoid rush-hour traffic. El Paso, spread along the north bank of the Rio Grande, is nearly bi sected into east and west by the Franklin Mountains, which end just north of I-10. The only quick way to get from one side of the city to the other is on the freeway. The project, funded by federal and state monies, will take about 2!/a years. But six months before it is fin ished, expansion of another section of I-10 is scheduled to start. It will be years before I-10 is free of concrete barricades and yellow flashing lights. “We’re not going to close it down,” said Betty Best, a spokeswo man for the local office of the Texas Highways and Public Transporta tion Department. “There’ll still be three lanes going in each direction. They’ll just be a little narrower.” Reform (continued from page 1) one city or town to another seeking work but will be allowed to live only in authorized residential areas, not with the country’s five million whites. Anglican Bishop Desmond Tutu, one of the country’s best-known black leaders, cautioned blacks to “be aware of the small print” in the government policy statement. “Some form of influx control may be brought in through the back door.” said Tutu, who won the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize and has just been Craig Farquhar, a wildlife graduate student at Texas A&M,I a young great-horned owl, which he captured from a ledge oul- >fe! side the library. Dr. Keith Arnold, a professor of wildlife sciences, handed the owl and then returned it to the ledge. elected archbishop of Cape Town. Murphy Morobe, a spokesman for the anti-apartheid United Demo cratic Front coalition, questioned whether the government would de segregate neighborhoods and give blacks a significant political role. President P.W. Botha “still has to answer on the question of political representation for blacks at the deci sion-making level,” Morobe said. Reaction from white moderates was more enthusiastic. Colin Eglin, leader of the opposition Progressive Federal Party, predicted an eco nomic upturn for the country when it became "free from then of the past . . . and imbued new positive spirit.” The South African Race Relations, a private oi tion, said abolition of thep along with official recogni black unions in 1979, was“tk important reform in Soutli.1 since World War II.” The government's statement said the governm lieved “fundamental rights it ledia l>e protected and that discrimiMmb on the grounds of race or coki! |\e cl acceptable." ||Pre Gramm-Rudmon (continued from page 1) Several justices seemed to agree that the comptroller general is a leg islative officer, not an independent agent as defenders of Gramm-Rud- man insist. Steven R. Ross, representing the bipartisan leadership of the House, said Congress picked Bowsher for the key role in Gramm-Rudman out of painstaking compromise. He was chosen to set the deficit- reduction figures “in order to insure these calculations were walled off from political considerations,” Ross said. But Justice Sandra Day O’Connor asked, “Wouldn’t you concede the historic role of the comptroller gen eral is an employee of the legislative branch?” Justice William H. Rehnquist, re calling his days as a Justice Depart ment lawyer in the Nixon adminis tration, added: “If the president wanted a favorable opinion, he went to the attorney general. If Congress wanted a favorable opinion, it went to the comptroller general.” Cutler argued that the powers granted the comptroller general are not unique, noting that several fed eral agencies headed by officers who serve fixed terms and may not be re moved at will by the president. Cutler said if the Cramm-Rud- man law is declared unconstitu tional, “you would take over the nuMu lls f ratio |>r ai nip n re lem pya, Cm an, irror le be side” many other quasi-indq federal agencies, includingtkj eral Reserve Board and the Fi Communications Commission Michael Davidson, theSe.ui gal counsel, said the coni| general performs as“ascorel under Cramm-Rudman.
