ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR, Hollis Dole
announced yesterday that offshore petroleum leasing would be
stepped up in order to make the nation more self-reliant in vital
fuels.
Dole stated in the department's International Petroleum report
that this was brought about to combat increased demand for foreign
oil despite the program of oil import limitations that began in 1959.
The assistant secretary also estimated that his department could,
with adequate funding, find 10 billion tons of low sulfur coal in the
East by 1976 in order to meet air quality requirements.E

REP. ABNER MIKVA, (D-Ill.), who is currently studying j
U.S. prison conditions, says penal reformers should consider coed
jails.
Mikva says putting men and women in the same prison would
remove some of the main complaints of male prisoners and cut
down on homosexuality.
His recommendation is based on a series of recent visits to prisons
and on answers to a questionnaire he distributed to inmates.
Mikiva's idea is patterned on the coed dorms now in existence on
many college campuses, in which men and women have separate
rooms but may associate freely.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY announced yesterday the recall of
its entire production of Pinto minicars for modification to prevent
possible ignition of fuel vapors in the air cleaner.
A spokesman for the company said a "few" cars had been des-
troyed by fire in the engine compartment, but reported that there was
no case where the flame had penetrated the passenger compartment.
A total of 204,000 of the cars were involved, starting from original'
production last July until March 19, when modifications were made on
all cars coming off the production line.
WILLIAM BARRON, West Virginia's 1961-65 Governor, was
sentenced to federal prison yesterday minutes after he pleaded
guilty to bribing the foreman of the fedral court which acquitted #
him in a 1968 bribery-conspiracy trial.
Barron was sentenced to 25 years in prison, the maximum under
the three counts of conspiracy, bribery, and obstruction of justiceI
to which he pleaded guilty.{
Less than an hour after he was sentenced, Barron left in
custody of two U.S. marshalls to be driven to the Medical Center
for Federal Prisoners at Springfield, Mo.

THIRTY-THREE CREWMEN were missing yesterday from
the tanker Texaco Oklahoma, which broke in two in heavy
Atlantic seas 120 miles northeast of Cape Hatteras, North Caro-
lina.
Eleven men of the tanker's crew were rescued from a life
raft by a passing freighter, which headed for New York as the
Coast Guard continued its search for possible survivors of the
accident.
The Coast Guard said it was a mystery why nearly two-thirds
of the crew apparently did not escape the sinking ship.
Pakistani rebels
continue struggle
NEW DELHI, India UB - East Pakistani rebels led by
Shiek Mujibur Rahman reported yesterday to be keepingup
their struggle to make East Pakistan an independent nation,
despite the strength of the armed forces of West Pakistan.
Official Indian sources said the 51-year-old sheik who
heads the now outlawed Awami League is free, according to
information received by the New Delhi government.
West Pakistani authorities have been claiming that the
sheik was taken into army custody following his unilateral
proclamation of independence.
The Pakistan government radio station in the Western
provincial capital city of La- -
hore said the "situation in;
East Pakistan continued to be
fuy under control."x

But Indian sources questioned
this claim. They said t ha t the
Pakistan armed forces were con-
tinuing to bomb some parts of the
province and had used paratroop-
ers for the first time to quell the
revolt.
While official informants d i d
not disclose the source of their in-
formation, it was presumed that
Indian military units based near
the border with E a s t Pakistan
were able to monitor military ra-
dios and flights of airplanes.
The Indian sources s a i d the
Pakistani paratroopers appeared
to be trying to wipe out five clan-
destine transmitters broadcasting
messages on behalf of Sheik Mu-
ijib.

WASHINGTON - T h e Su-
preme Court agreed yesterday
to consider whether private so-
cial clubs which have liquor li-
censes can continue to exclude
blacks.
The Court accepted for re-
view an appeal by a Moose
Lodge in Harrisburg, Pa., whose
racially exclusive policy was rul-
ed illegal in November by a
three-judge federal court.
If the Court upholds the rul-
ing the decision could upset the
racial policies of private clubs
across the country.
The Harrisburg club's rule
against black members or guests
was tested three years ago. A
member broughta black guest,
K. Leroy Irvis, the Democratic
leader of the Pennsylvania
House, to the club for dinner
and drinks. Irvis w as refused
service.
Irvis sued, leading to the rul-
ing by the district court in Har-
risburg in November that the
lodge could not keep both its
Pennsylvania liquor license and
its racially exclusive policy.
In another case, the Court
agreed to consider a government
contention that no person con-j
victed of a serious crime may'
legally posess a gun.
The court will hear next fall
a government appeal from a rul-
ing by the U.S. Circuit Court in
New York overturning the con-
viction of a Bronx man tried
under the 1968 gun control law.
Kenneth Bass, who was con-
victed as a previously convicted
felon on two counts of possess-
ing firearms and given concur-
rent 15-month prison terms, ap-
pealed on the grounds that the
law applied only to interstate
movement of guns.
Bass was turned down by a
U.S. district court but won in
the circuit court. The govern-
ment, which has used the sec-
tion 150 times, contends t h e
lower courts have split on its
meaning and therefore a Su-
preme Court ruling is necessary.
There have been no independ-
ent reports from East Pakistani
government and the imposition of
stiff press censorship in the rest
of the country.
Indian monitors heard the Dacca
radio station, which the a r m y
took over three days ago, for about
seven hours Monday.
Sheik Mujib's rebel radio said
a battle was under way for con-
trol of the station. It went back
on the air late Monday and iden-
tified as "Radio Pakistan," indi-
cating that the army was still in
control.
The rebel radio also reported
that. Awami League forces h a d
captured two of the eastern pro-
vince's three military canton-
ments - Cool and Jessore - and
were battling for possession of the
only remaining one in Dacca.
Official sources in the Indian
border town of Agartala, capital
of Tripura State, said the sound
of tanks and mortars and ma-
chine quns could be heard in the
Sonamura area of East Pakistan,
just three miles across the border.

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. () -
President Nixon yesterday signed
an executive order aimed at sta-
bilizing wages and prices in the
construction industry. He also re-
ported that "contractors and la-
bor leaders have indicated their
willingness to cooperate."
Nixon signed t h e order after
conferring at the Western White
House with Secretary of Labor
James Hodgson.
In a statement, Nixon said con-
struction wage increases negotiat-
ed last year were more than dou-
ble those won by factory workers
while unemployment in the in-
dustry reached a level nearly dou-
ble the national average.
"Continued excesses c a n lead
only to less building, to continued
unemployment and to further dis-
tortions in the practices of the in-
dustry and in the economy of the
nation," Nixon said.
The President ordered Hodgson
to set up a 12-member committee
with seats for contractor and un-
ion representatives, review all col-
lective bargaining agreements to
determine whether they fall with-
in broad wage criteria.
Hodgson said the new system
provides for enforcement - but
without w h a t he termed heavy
handed federal intervention.
In a related move, Nixon also
reinstated the Davis Bacon Act,
calling for payment of union scale
wages on government building
projects, which he had suspended
Feb. 23.
