With Congress out of town for a month-long recess, the only other scheduled activity this week is a House merchant ma rine subcommittee hearing set for Wednesday on the Panama Canal agreement worked out by President Carter’s negotiating team. Consumer agency battle continues By JEFFREY MILLS Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Lob byists on both sides of a pro posal to establish a federal con sumer agency are working without interruption through a month-long congressional re cess to find support among members of the House of Rep resentatives. The buttonholing has shifted to the congressional districts and is focusing on fewer than 100 House members who are considered undecided on the bill. A vote is likely in the House this fall. The “Nickel Campaign,” in spired by consumer advocate Ralph Nader, says it has show ered 40,000 nickels and pro agency letters on fence-sitting representatives. The campaign is designed to demonstrate a willingness to pay the five cents a year the agency would cost each taxpayer. The U.S. Chamber of Com merce, a strong opponent of the bill, is urging local business leaders to express opposition personally to uncommitted House members while they are home for the recess. At stake is a bill to set up a consumer protection agency empowered to represent con sumers before federal regu lators, whose proceedings now often are dominated by business lawyers and lobbyists. The proposal has been pend ing in Congress throughout the 1970 s and passed the House three times and the Senate twice, but opposition by the Nixon and Ford administrations kept it from becoming law. During the spring, after they won the support of President Carter, backers predicted this would be their year. But they have been surprised by an ef fective business lobbying cam paign which has capitalized on voters’ fears of increasing the federal bureaucracy. The panel, headed by Rep. John Murphy, D-N.Y., has called as witnesses national se curity adviser Zbigniew Brze zinski and Panama Canal ne gotiators Ellsworth Bunker and Sol Linowitz. Some members of Congress are criticizing the agreement, which calls for Panamanian control of the canal by the year 2000. Murphy has denounced the agreement as “an apparent surrender of American-owned property in Panama to a revo lutionary despot.” Jaworski will turn quickly to preparing a timetable for the Korean investigation and is ex pected to present his schedule to the ethics committee on Aug. 24. He has vowed to recommend punishment or prosecution for any wrongdoing he finds in the Korean influence-buying affair but he also has indicated in public comments that he be lieves the scope of the scandal has been exaggerated.

It would add to the cost of doing business and ultimately would increase costs to the consumer,” Chamber of Com merce spokesman Mark Schultz said. The supporters say federal regulators take many actions that are not in the public inter est because they hear only the side of business. Disrupt failure miffs IRA BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) — The Irish Republican Army is expected to escalate its attacks on British troops in an attempt to compensate for its failure to disrupt Queen Elizabeth’s visit to Northern Ireland last week. “Operation Monarch,” the massive security operation dur ing the royal visit, bottled the guerrillas of the IRA’s Provi sional wing up in the Roman Catholic areas that are their strongholds and forced them to limit their attacks to those areas. However, the British cannot maintain that kind of round-the clock pressure for long. Sympathy for the Provision als among the Catholics has waned in the last year, but they still maintain a hard core of deep-rooted support. British in telligence sources admit this is all the guerrillas need to con tinue their hit-and-run war. “We know that militarily we can’t win this war,” said one Provisional officer. “But the Brits know they can’t win ei ther, so this thing will go on until the Brits finally get ex hausted and agree to get out. the investigation last month after Philip A. Lacovara quit in a dispute with the panel’s chairman, Rep. John Flynt, D- Ga,. The former Watergate proscutor insisted on an unusual written guarantee of inde pendence before accepting the post. Jaworski said last week docu ments he is seeking from the Justice Department could be as crucial to the Korean investiga tion as White House tapes were to Watergate. The documents reportedly include one detailing cash payments Korean rice dealer Tongsun Park made to about 20 congressmen plus sev eral other U.S. officials. Park allegedly made his pay ments in an effort to buy in fluence and support in Congress for the Korean government, but congressmen who acknowledge taking cash say the contribu tions were legal at the time. No congressmen is accused of doing specific favors for Korea in return for cash or gifts.
