The gasoline produced contains no lead and has a higher research octane rating than conventional un- leaded-gasoline, they said' Mobil is testing the process at a small plant here, but soon will build a larger demonstration plant and then a commercial-sized unit, Wise said. He said the firm already has purchased Western coal fields con- taining an estimated four billion to five billion tons of coal. Other oil firms also have been buying coal reserves. "The day will come when the worldwide supply of crude oil cannot meet the potential demand," Wise said. "That's when the U.S. will turn to its abundant reserves of coal for liquid fuels. We plan to have our tech- nology all ready to go." AUDITIONS. FOR UAC Musket's WEST SIDE STORY Fri. Jan. 13-7 pm R Sat.

He said the first two quarters of 1978 will show very good economic progress, but by the end of the third quarter, economic stimulation in the form of "a substantial tax reduction" will be needed. Carter also faced several questions in the 30-minute session about plans to replace the Republican-appointed U. S. attorney in Philadelphia. THOSE PLANS to remove U.S. Attorney David Marston have pro- voked complaints that the President, despite campaign pledges to keep politics out of Justice Department appointments, is bowing to political pressure. Carter said that in deciding to replace Marston, he relied on the recommendation of Attorney Gener- al Griffin Bell and has not asked for Bell's reasons. The President repeated earlier statements that he and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat have almost identical views on Middle East questions. Sadat has called for Israeli withdrawal from settlements in the Sinai. Carter, asked whether he agreed with this position, said, "It's not for me to decide a specific settlement." CARTER, IN RESPONSE to a question, accused the Soviet Union of "unwarranted involvement in Af- rica." "They, in effect, contributed to the war between Somalia and Ethiopia," he said. "They have sold excessive quantities of arms and weapons to both, shipping some men, and they also dispatched Cubans, perhaps to "become combatants themselves." The subject was discussed fre- quently during Carter's meetings last week with foreign leaders on his seven-nation tour, and Carter told the news conference: "I HOPE THAT we can induce the Soviets and the Cubans not to send either soldiers or weapons into that area and hope for and achieve a rapid development of negotiatiots." The President did not say whether the Russians in Ethiopia were tech- passage nicians, military advisers or troops. On other topics, Carter said: " He hopes lower interest rates can be achieved. * Secretary Joseph Califano Jr. of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, opening an anti-smok- ing campaign, was acting responsib- ly to point out the dangers of tobacco. "I do not think it is his responsibility to tell an individual American wheth- er he can or cannot smoke," the President said. Carter opened the news conference with a statement on energy, the top priority of Congress when it returns January 19 from its winter recess. "I believe we do have the resolve and national will to deal with the energy problem," the President said. "Our proposal is fair and well- balanced.
