Govt. authorizes lease of oil
shale lands for future supply
DEMOCRACY PROMISED
Greece's new government to
establish a new constitution
By AP and Reuter
WASHINGTON - The United
States is making progress in
conserving fuel, lessening the
possibility that gas will have to
be rationed early next year, In-
terior Secretary Rogers Morton
said yesterday.
Morton also announced he has
authorized the sale of six leases
next year of oil shale lands in
the western states of Colorado,
Utah and Wyoming, where there
are an estimated 600 billion bar-
rels of oil that can be refined
through current technology.
MORTON announced two steps
to increase the nation's future
supply of oil, including develop-
ment of the oil shale lands.
Some estimates say that the
western reserves of shale oil -
rocks containing oil that must
be heated to yield usable fuel-
are the largest oil deposit in the
world, containing more than a
trillion barrels that could be-
come available as technology im-
proves.
But it is likely to be many
years before techniques are
available to tap the vast reserves
on a major scale.
MORTON said development of
the first oil from the shale would
cost initially up to $250 million
for a refining plant and it would
be up to three years before pro-
duction begins.
The extraction process requires
the heating of the shale to more
than 900 degrees (Farenheit). At
that temperature, kerogen, an
organic material found in shale,
is converted into shale oil, which,
in turn, can be refined into con-
ventional oil products.
The Paraho Development
Corp., a combine formed by 15
oil companies, including Stand-
ard Oil of Ohio, Mobil Research
and Development, Shell Develop-
ment, Standard Oil of Indiana,
Sun Oil, Phillips, Texaco and At-
Arab summit ends,
embargo to continue
lantic Richfield, is working on
two processes to get at the
shale oil cheaply.
OIL COMPANIES will bid on
the 20-year leases at the rate of
one a month starting in Janu-
ary and the six tracts are ex-
pected to produce a total of about
200,000 barrels of oil daily by
1981, Morton said.
-However, ecologists said yes-
terday that wildlife would be de-
stroyed and environmental re-
sources devastated under the
government program to lease the
federal lands for commercial
development of shale oil.
"Oil shale development is
years away and it's a very dam-
aging process," said Carolyn
Johnson of the Colorado Open
Space Council, a coalition of 30
environmental groups including
the Audubon Society and Sierra
Club.
MRS. JOHNSON said the leas-
ing was "a giveaway to the oil
industry under the label of the
energy crisis" and "represents a
commitment for destruction of
great environmental resources
for a drop in the bucket of oil."
She said mining shale in wes-
tern Colorado's Piceance Masin
could destroy 75 per cent of the
region's 30,000 deer.
Vegetation would be destroyed,
roads would interrupt wildlife
migratory patterns and humans
would flood the area seeking
jobs.
CHARLES HILLSTAD, a
spokesman for the Rocky Moun-
tain region's Sierra Club, said
oil shale development may be
'one more step in a continuing
series" of efforts to remove en-
ergy resources without adequate
consideration for the environ-
ment.
Previous examples of haphaz-
ard resource development were
strip mining for coal and deto-
nation of three 30-kiloton nuclear
devices in northwestern Colora-
do to free natural gas, he said.
William Viavant, an environ-
mentalist in Utah, said judgment
of the project should be deferred
until an environmental impact
report is made.
ATHENS (Reuter) - Greece's
new Prime Minister Adamantios
Androutsopoulos, said here last
night that his three day-old gov-
ernment which emerged from
last Sunday's military coup will
draft a new constitution and lead
the country to democratic rule.
The 54-year-old prime minis-
ter addressed Greeks on the
country's radio and television
networks to outline his govern-
ment's policy.
"WE DO not seek to perpetu-
ate the regime of the state of
emergency. We do not want to
establish ourselves as a regime.
"Our ambition is to prepare
the country for a genuine dem-
ocratic life in peace and order
and to make the people the sole
and permanent source of pow-
er."
He added that the present
government was not a transfer
of power but a determination to
reform, to face dangers and to
accelerate the pace of pro-
gress.
ANDROUSTOPOULOS s a i d
that when the armed forces in-
tervened and toppled President
George Papadopoulos on Sunday,
the country was in a state of con-
fusion and impasse from which
it ought to come out quickly and
safely.
"The country faced a danger-
ous constitutionalccrisis and a
completely inoperative regime
while at the same time it faced
a political impasse and serious
problems," Androutsopoulos said.
After two referenda the coun-
try was unable to acquire a
workable constitution.
HE SAID the constitution had
accumulated powers in the hands
of one man.
"The concentration of all pow-
ers in the hands of one man con-
stitutes the very definition of
tyranny," the premier said.
It was time to put an end to
constitutional adventures and im-
provisations.
"THE PROCEDURES will be
initiated very soon so that the
country can acquire finally a con-
stitution.
"Until the approval of the new
constitution, all constitutional
power will be exercised by the
cabinet through constitutional
acts which will be issued on rare
occasions and always within the
necessary limits for the func-
tioning of the regime."
This was interpreted by ob-
servers here to mean that the
existing constitution had in es-
sence ceased to be in force.
ANDROUTSOPOULOS s a i d
that the Constitutional Court and
the Supreme Council of Civil
Services, provided in the consti-
tution, were abolished.
The Constitutional Court was
introduced for the first time with
the present constitution and its
main task was to screen the sta-
tutes and programs of political
parties as well as qualifications
of individual candidates.
It had far reaching powers and
could dissolve any party deviat-
ing from is program and ban
candidates from running in elec-
tions if their acts were against
the constitution.
Papadopoulos
He was referring to the sweep-
ing powers invested in ousted
President George Papadopoulos
who was in complete control of
the vital sectors of foreign af-
fairs, national defense and pub-
lic order.
THE CONSTITUTION gave the
president the right to appoint the
chiefs of the armed forces, the
police and one-tenth of Parlia-
ment's 200 members.
Androutsopoulos said that un-
der the present constitution, leg-
islation and executive power
were in the hands of one man.

ALGIERS (i)-Arab kings and
presidents decided yesterday to
use every means at their dispos-
al, including the oil squeeze, to
win their confrontation with Is-
rael.
The leaders said there will
never be peace in the Middle
East until two basic conditions
are met - "Israeli withdrawal
from all occupied Arab territory,
especially Jerusalem, and restor-
ation of the legitimate rights of
the Palestinian people."
ISRAEL has consistently re-
jected both demands as they are
understood by the Arabs.
The demands were included in
a statement ending the three-day
summit; the first such parley
since the end of the October
Middle East war. The summit
was meant to tighten Arab ranks
before a peace conference with
Israel tentatively scheduled Dec.
8 in Geneva.
But Iraq and Libya boycotted
the meeting because they oppose
peace with Israel, and King Hus-
sein of Jordan only sent envoys
because he wanted to avoid face-
to-face disagreement with the
Palestinian guerrilla leaders.-
THE LEADERS kept
their resolutions secret but gave
maximum publicity to their re-
solve to continue holding back oil
from countries they consider un-
friendly - and to open the taps
for pro-Arab nations.
The Arab oil-producing nations
have cut back production 25-30
per cent, raising fears of a fuel
crisis this winter in the United
States, Japan and Europe. More-
over, they have slapped a total
embargo on the United States
and Holland because of policies
considered particularly pro-Is-
raeli.
Ina movedesigned to put ad-
dition pressure on those who
support Israel, they decided to
cutrproduction at least 5 per cent
more each month. But the oil
sheiks have granted a one-month
suspension of this measure for
Japan, the Philippines and the
Common l'arket countries, ex-
cept Holland, in recognition for
pro-Arab statements.
"IT SHOULD be clear that
there is a direct link between
exemption from export cutbacks
and any country's support for
our just cause," said A r a b
League Secretary - General Mah-
moud Riad. "Every time coun-
tries act in our favor, there will
be Arab decisions to recipro-
cate."
