Hereford High School’s student fan organiza-

WASHINGTON (AP) -
Senate Democrats, in their
"final position” on the future
of the U.S. Manne contingent
in Lebanon, are pushing to
legally bind President
Reagan the M to M-day time
limit spelled out in the War
Powers Act.
Under legislation introduc-
ed with a 290 endorsement by
the Democratic caucus
Thursday, the president
would have to withdraw the
troops within that time frame
unless Congress declared war
or otherwise authorized them
to remain longer.
The legislation declares
that the clock started to run

killed

HOUSTON (AP) - The
resignation of state prison
director W.J. Estelle signifies
that “the rules of the game
have changed" and marks a
“new day" of increased state
and federal government in-
fluence in the prison system,
state officials say.
Estelle, citing the
Legislature’s rejection of
more than half of the Texas
Department of Correction’s
proposed $1.5 billion prison
when TDC officials got less
than half the $1.5 billion
budget they sought.
“I was down at the Board of
Corrections meeting on Mon-
day and one of the assistant
directors said It appeared
'the rules of the game have
changed.' Perhaps that's as
good a way as any to sum up
the situation,” Dial said.
“The rules of the game have
changed."
“It's my impression that in
past years the Legislature
had a tendency to pretty
much stay out of the opera-
tions of the system down
there,” he sdded.
When Estelle leaves the
TDC after heading the agen-
cy 12 years, the administra-
tion will be restructured, of-
ficials said.
"We plan to make a total
management study of TDC
and restructure it," said
Board of Corrections Direc-
tor Bob Gunn of Witchita
Falls. "Then we'll know the
type of person we want to look
for” to replace Estelle, he
said.
"I’m of the opinion there’s
got to be a lot of change in
there, and human nature be-
ing what it is. It may be dif-
ficult to motet those changes
with the existing peopie,"
Whittington said
"I think we need to clean
heuae," Koiter said. There

day management at the
prison system

unanimously on Wednesday
to demand that Reagan in-
