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. university' players presents the second showcase production 1973-1974 at the ARENA THEATRE in the Frieze Building and miss rea rdon drinks a little by PAUL ZINDEL Nov. 26 to Dec. 1 TICKETS: Thursday $1.00; Friday & Saturday $1.50 at Trueblood Box Office.

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."
