Oil product exports up
(Continued from Page 1)
last week that domestic shortages
could put medicines in short supply
this winter. Manufacturers of other
products dependent on petrochemi-
cals have issued similar warnings
of cutbacks.
The Arab oil boycott threatens
to cut deeply into the production of
petrochemicals, which are derived
from petroleum and natural gas.
Petrochemicals are vital to the
manufacture of such varied pro-
ducts as drugs, plastics and syn-
thetic fibers.
Experts analyzing the complicat-
ed Commerce Department figures
said that export volume was run-
ning about 10 to 15 per cent above'
1972 levels through October. They
said the dollar value was about
35 per cent above the 1972 figure.
PETROCHEMICAL sales, domes-
tic and foreign, totaled $20 billion
in 1972. Exports were $2.4 billion.
"We're definitely feeling the
supply squeeze but we have not
had to cut back production for
penicillin and other drugs," said a
spokesman for Pfizer Inc., a major'
drug manufacturer. "The situation,
could get considerably worse if
allocations are reduced."

petrochemicals. The Toy Manu-
facturers Association said there
were enough supplies to complete
normal production for this Christ-
mas. But plastics cannot be pur-
chased in sufficient quantities to
begin making Christmas toys for
1974, a spokesman said.
In a recent study, Arthur D.
Little Inc., a Massachusetts-based
research firm, said that a 15 per
cent reduction in petrochemical
output could leave 1.6 million to
1.8 million people unemployed in
industries dependent on petro-
chemicals. The study said a 15
per cent cutback in petrochemical
production would cost the economy
$65 billion to $70 billion annually.
The annual Gross National Product
is $1.3 trillion.
The Commerce Department fig-
ures were for each of the many
petrochemicals exported, but were
not totaled. In many of the nu-
merous categories, exports for the
first 10 months of 1973 exceeded
figures for all of 1972.

THIS SLIGHTLY enhanced view of Jupiter, shot from Pioneer 10,
shows the planet's great red spot. Scientists speculate that the
giant planet is shrinking under its own gravitational force, an in-
dication that it might be a still-born star formed at the same time
as the sun.
Scientists say Jupiter
may be growing smaller

LANSING (UPI) - The state
House yesterday passed a reso-
lution honoring the University of
Michigan Wolverines for their un-
defeated season, but claiming they
"were unjustly deprived of their
rightful chance at the 1974 Rose
Bowl'."
The resolution was passed on a
voice vote.
T H O U G H UNJUSTLY de-
prived of their rightful chance at
the 1974 Rose Bowl, the Wolver-
ines are truly the 'Champions of
the West,"' the resolution reads.
"In spit of numerous injuries,
they surged ahead in the true Wol-
verine tradition."
The resolution lauded the Mich-
igan team for an "incredible
achievement" and asked the Sen-
ate for concurrence in support of
the tribute.
IN A second football resolution,
introduced but not yet acted upon
by the legislature, Rep. Charlie
Harrison, (D-Detroit), called for a
special committee to study the
feasibility of holding an annual
post - season college football bowl
game at the Pontiac Metropolitan
Stadium.
"The Midwest region of the Unit-
ed States has long been recog-
nixed as the cradle of college foot-
ball," Harrison's resolution states,
"yet there has never been an es-
tablished post-season bowl game
played here, presumably because
of adverse weather conditions."
The Pontiac stadium is an all-
weather sports arena.
If passed by the legislature, the
feasibility committee woulld be,
granted $2,500 to conduct the
study.
