Oil company
break-upbill
clears Sen.
committee
WASHINGTON (t -- A bill
to force the breakup of the na-
tion's 18 largest oil companies
squeezed through the Senate
Judiciary Committee on yes-
tcrday by an 8-7 vote.
Ilowever, Sens. Robert Byrd
(l)-W. Va.) Hugh Scott R-Pa.)
and Charles Mathias (R-Md.)
said they voted with the ma-
jority only to get the bill be-
fore the Senate.
THE BILL would require the
companies to divest themselves
of all but one phase of their
operations - production, trans-
portation, or refining and mar-
keting.
Supporters contended at the
committee meeting that this
forced fragmentation of the in-
dustry giants would increase
competition and reduce prices.
But opponents argued the ef-
fect would be to impair effic-
iency, add to costs, raise pric-
es, reduce production and in-
crease dependence on foreign
oil.
MATHIAS put a substitute
proposal before the committee
that would not have required
he breakup of the oil com-
panies but imposed on them
what he called "a public trust."
Mathias' substitute was re-
jected, 13-2, with only Byrd
joining Mathias in voting for
it. Opponents argued it would
lead to detailed government
control of the industry.
THE BILL submitted to the
Senate would require the 18
companies to choose whether to
limit their operations to ex-
ploration and production, trans-
portation, or refining - market-
ing..
This divesture would have to
be accomplished within five
years, with plans dawn up by
the companies subject to
amendment and approval by
the Federal Trade Commission.
A special divesture court would
be set up to handle litigation
growing out of the legislation.
The bill was approved by a
4-3 vote of the Judiciary Com-
mittee's antitrust unit on April
1. At that time a modificaion
was made to permit refiners to
retain retail outlets they owned
or operate as of Jan. 1, 1976.

Dennis Owens is forced to skip the trip to the barbers and go to a b eauty shop instead due to a Kentucky state law prohibiting
from giving permanent waves.

Kentucky barbers cant make wave
LOUlSVILLE, Ky. (R)-Some
barbers in Bluegrass country
have their dander up. They feel
they are being fleeced because
of a state law which prohibits
them - literally - from mak-
ing waves.
Asst. Atty. Gen. Guy Shearer
says it's against the law in
Kentucky for barbers to give
permanent waves to their cus-
tomers.
AND SINCE the curly hair
style produced by a "perma-
nent" is popular among mem-
bers of the younger generation,
particularly in the metropoli-
tan areas, a group of barbers
has gone to court to change the
law..
So far, they're winning, but
Sh-arer filed a response in
Franklin Circuit Court Monday
asking that an injunction pro-
hibiting the state Board of
Barbering from enforcing the
law be lifted.
"Barbers want to give per-
manent waves, finger waves,
without ever having gone to a
cosmetology school," Shearer
said. "They are saying their
definition of barbering lets
them do this. In my opinion,
this is absolutely wrong." licenses would be revoked if BARBERS can cut the hair
they were caught giving per- of men and women. They can

Franklin Circuit Judge Squire because of the controversy that Gene Record, administrator
