Strom Thurmond of South Carolina was selected president pro tempore, or presiding officer of the Senate in the absence of the vice president. The post goes to the member of the majority party with the greatest seniority, and Thurmonds election must be ratified by the full Senate in January. Sen. Robert Packwood of Oregon was elected unanimously to lead the GOP senatorial campaign committee after Sen. Bob Dole of Kansas withdrew from consideration shortly before the balloting. McClure Beats Heinz In the only contested race. Sen. James A. McClure, a conservative from Idaho, defeated Sen. John Heinz, a moderate from Pennsylvania, for the post of caucus chairman by a vote of 33 to 20. Both McClure and Baker said ideology played no role in the outcome. Baker, first elected to the Senate in in 1972 and again and two years ago, predicted afterward that the new Senate would find "few sacred cows and promised a brand new look at almost every federal activity. He said he did not believe his colleagues would be stingy in approving federal funds for programs for the needy, but said he looked for very, very significant changes in the way some of the programs are run. He didnt mention any by name. 1966 Sen Gam will also become the new chairman of the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee in January, while Sen. Ornn Hatch, will chair the Labor and Human Resources Committee, under new GOP control of the Senate. During the current Congress Sen. Gam said he has tried to "emphasize the service aspects of the office in expanding the availability and diversity of the individual and general voting data available to Republican senators." Tallies Vote Results For example, he said a library of resources has been collected which allows many voting statistics to be calculated back to the 93rd Congress. This is a particularly good year to be involved in the Republican leadership, the Salt Lake senator said. President-elec- t Reagan has promised a new era of cooperation with the Congress and we now have the momentum to accomplish important legislate goals. The Agriculannounced Tuesday that food stamp benefits will increase 11.5 percent on Jan. 1, the first increase in a year. d The adjustment reflects the increase between September 1979 and September 1980 in the cost of USDAs Thrifty Food Plan, the lowest-codepartment food plan and the base for benefit levels. WASHINGTON (AP) ture Department across-the-boar- st Assistant Agriculture Secretary Carol Tucker Foreman also said upward adjustments will be made Jan. 1 in the deductions used to calculate net income for households receiving food stamps. The increase in benefit levels means a family of four with no net income will receive $233 in food stamps, up from $209. Ms. Foreman said only a small number ? households have no net income, and most participants in the program will receive less than the maximum amount because benefits drop as net income increases. p to 1979, Do you know bow much liver costs a POUND?

The bureau attributed d the explosion in households to an increase in childbearing outside of marriage; dissolution of families through separation, divorce and widowhood, and a disproportionately large segment of young adults in the American population.

Assistant Attorney General Philip B. Heymann said he would tell the Reagan team it would be folly to depart from the system thats been developed for handling public corruption cases in the last six years, beginning in the Ford administration. In a Monday night chat with reporters, Heymann said the heart of the system was a rule imposed by General Griffin B. Bell, that there cant be any White House or congressional contact with the assistant attorney general, theU-S- . attorney or anyone below them on any ongoing investigation." Tells of Probes Reeling off a string of investigations he has conducted of White House officials, including Hamilton Jordan, Tim Kraft and Bert Lance, of presidential relatives like Billy Carter, and of key congressmen, Heymann said: I know of no occasion where I have directly or indirectly gotten any views from the White House on any case in the 30 months since I have been here. I occasionally get it from Congress, because they dont get the message. Attributing the cause to Watergate and a public feeling that the powerful shouldnt get off, Heymann said there had been an explosion in public corruption cases. The number of active FBI investigations has risen from 574 in February 1978 to 1,200 as of December 1979. The famous ones are federal, he said. But we're deep into state and local corruption. In addition to the Bell rule, Heymann said that an equally important one has left the decision to prosecute at his level, allowing the attorney general or his deputy only the power to reverse the decision in writing. Destroys Careers Were talking about how one handles stuff that is politically dynamite, Heymann said. It makes and destroys careers overnight. Its the stuff that can make an administration fall in a minute by the wrong handling.
