But right, now, he's trying to market himself. It's an uphill battle in part because he didn't even make it past the phmary in 1986 when he lost the Republican nomination for Congress in the 7th District against Bill McFarland, who then lost to Democrat Claude Harris. He says he's not looking past the June primary this time, even though no GOP contenders have appeared yet.

On the issues, he says, he was a 100 percent supporter of President Reagan, except on the 1982 tax change initiative. He backed Reagan's depiction of the Soviet Union as an "evil empire" and the American military buildup prior to the end of the Cold War. ON THE. DOMESTIC side, he focuses partly on health care, blaming mucfc of he problem on litigious trial lawyers and a lack of proper, market-forces competition. "When you get sick, you have nothing to say.

Heflin presented the committee's findings on the Senate floor, but it was the panel's ranking Republican, New Hampshire Sen. Warren Rud-man, who delivered the stinging rebuke of Cranston after he accepted the reprimand, then denied he was guiltyf of many of the committee's accusations. HEFLIN SID HE agreed with Rudman's action because Cranston denial of thef accusations violated his written agreement with the committee to accept the reprimand.

And he said Cranston was wrong in asserting that his dealings with Keating were no different than the behavior of other senators. "The overall shocking thing about Cranston was the amounts that were involved," Heflin said, referring to the nearly $1 million that Keating and his associates donated to Cranston's campaigns and causes. Heflin said his relations with the Keating Five senators are now "at arms but he insisted he wouldn't hesitate to ask any of them for a favor if he needed their help on legislation or a project. He left for a year in 1974 to get a certificate in higher education management from Harvard University. And he spent three years in the early 1980s completing the course work for a master's and Ph.D.

But he was giving "serious thought" to leaving Talladega. Then the college hired Dr. Joseph Johnson, formerly of Grambling State University, to be the next college president. "He promoted me to vice-president of student affairs," says Lee. "And I decided to stay." Clay LINEVILLE A revealing story about a man who turned up at Lineville's Methodist church when he should have been speaking at the town's Baptist church was told in last week's Clay Times-Journal by David Proctor and Ray Stansell.

None of the men at First United Methodist Church's monthly breakfast meeting that Sunday knew the stranger in their midst, but thought nothing of it. Each person assumed the man was a guest of someone in attendance. The man ate with the group. When It was mentioned that the day's program dealt with the Methodist Children's Home at Troy, the startled stranger asked: "Isn't this the First Baptist Church?" The stranger was Tommy Puckett. director of the Brotherhood Department for the Alabama State Baptist Convention.

He was in town Dec. 1 to give the program that morning at the Baptist Men's Brotherhood breakfast at First Baptist Church, a few blocks up the street. The Rev. John Gates, pastor at the Methodist church, put the icing on the cake when he said, "If someone can come to our church and not know that he's not in a Baptist church, then there may not be much difference in us after all."

"It's not a pleasant task to have to judge your colleagues," he said.

It's not pleasant at all because you've got people that you may be wanting some support from on certain legislation or they may be in a key position in certain things." Still, it was the Judicial nature of the job that first attracted Heflin, offering the veteran judge and trial lawyer a welcome respite from legislative routine. And since about 90 percent of the committee's work involved researching and writing legal opinions, Heflin was generally content in the Senate's least coveted job, even when he had to endure the occasional wrath of a colleague. But that was before a series of highly publicized cases involving serious allegations of misconduct against seven senators began emerging two years ago. There was the investigation of Sen. David Durenberger, which ended with the Senate, at Heflin's Lee From Page 13B His love for Talladega is plain: He speaks passionately about the historic square, pointing out its potential and mourning the barren storefronts.

Workmen toppled the elevated metal tank Wednesday, bringing it down from a perch it had maintained since 1934.

members will get more money double the current amount for council and 50 percent more for the mayor. But before anyone gets up in arms over that news, hang on a minute.

Alfonse D'Amato, who was chastised by the committee in August for not running a tighter office.

AND THERE WAS the infamous Keating Five case in which Sens. Alan Cranston, Donald W. Riegle Dennis DeCon-cini, John Glenn, D-Ohio, and John McCain, were accused of soliciting contributions from savings and loan kingpin Charles H. Keating Jr.

while intervening in his behalf with federal regulators. By the time the committee decided in February not to recommend formal Senate action against any of the Keating Five except Cranston, Heflin had had enough. "I finally just told them I was off," Heflin said. just told them I was resigning. I said I want to get out Immediately, and I did get out of the D'Amato aspect of It." But it took another nine months for Heflin's Immediate request to be fulfilled.
