4 Page 2-Sunday, March 13,1983-The Michigan Daiss OPEC again fai~ls to -set quotas From AP and UPI LONDON - OPEC ministers failed to reach agreement on the crucial issue of production quotas during their 10th emergency meeting here yesterday, and Venezuela's oil minister warned a price war could drive oil prices down to $20 a barrel. The average world price of oil is currently about $32.5 a barrel. The oil ministers of the 13 members of the Organization of Petroleum Ex- porting Countries met all day yesterday and again at night before adjourning their discussions until today. They have been trying to settle longstanding dif- ferences on dividing the cartel's share of the world market. SOME MINISTERS say they have agreed in principle on a $5 per-barrel cut from the official price of $34 a barrel, but that such a cut would be con- tingent on an agreement on production quotas. The current OPEC official price often is undercut on the spot market - that is, sales of oil not under long-term con- tracts. Venezuelan Oil Minister Humberto Calderon Berti told reporters yesterday that competition with non-OPEC expor- ters could drive oil prices in general down to $20 a barrel. "If we start fighting, all of us, it will go down to $20 a barrel," Calderon said. "WE (VENEZUELA) are the only country that will reduce its produc- tion," Calderon said. "All the others want to remain where they are or even increase their production from the present level." Calderon added that Venezuela could not afford to accept the cut in oil production that was proposed by other OPEC chiefs. "I told them we are willing to decrease production, to cooperate with the others, but we have some limits to our sacrifice," he said. "We have to pay our debts this year." Calderon, in unusually candid remarks, stressed that his was not the only dissatisfied country. Calderon said "at least two other countries" also were unhappy with their quotas. He would not name the other holdouts, but conference sources said there had been heated disputes between Iran and Saudi Arabia over allocations. IN CARACAS, the Venezuelan Energy Ministry said Calderon would return home if no agreement were reached soon. No specific deadline was given. Calderon's comments appeared to contradict an assessment of the talks earlier yesterday by Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Ahmed Zaki Yamani. Yamani, whose country is the world's biggest oil exporter, said he believed OPEC could reach a full agreement and avert a price collapse. ASKED WHETHER an accord was reached to cut the $34 official price to $29, he said: "We already have agreed on that." Saudi Arabia demanded at least a 5.5 million barrel per day quota to enable it to continue financial assistance for Iraq's war against Iran. The full-scale meeting initially had been scheduled to begin at noon. But ministers, after gathering in the con- ference suite, adjourned the meeting for six hours to discuss differences in private sessions and to consult with home governments, OPEC officials said. IF THE TALKS end with no agreement, the price of oil on the open market is expected to continue sliding, possibly forcing Britain and other non- OPEC oil exporters to cut the price of oil sold on contract. A world price war would have a devastating effect on the economies of some oil-exporting coun- tries such as Venezuela and Mexico, which are saddled with huge foreign debts. '- - Calde ron . willing to cut production In an effort to dry up the world oil glut, which is cutting sales and prices, OPEC is trying to set a formal limit on each member's production. The OPEC crisis talks werecalled af- ter Britain fired the opening salvos of a price war, announcing last month the price of its high quality North Sea oil would drop to $30.50. Nigeria broke ranks with OPEC and undercut Britain by 50 cents, with a $5 price drop. Total OPEC output must come down from the present fixed maximum of 17.5 million barels per day to reflect a shrinking world market, most OPEC nations have agreed.

Goals key to success for women, says executive (Continued from Page 1) "It is very important to strike a solid balance between the ideal and the prac- tical, to balance both career ambitions as well as personal needs," said Cun- ningham. "Career ambitions can quickly become hollow when they begin to separate us from our family and frien-' ds. We must make trade-offs which require us to devote extra time to per- sonal goals at one time and career goals at another, but constantly monitoring the balance between the two. "ONCE YOU'VE defined a goal, don't be diverted from it," Cunningham said, although diversion can be very tempting. "Then when we look back we will be able to be proud of what we did." "This generation of women has lear- ned to question," Cunningham said. "We are a generation of institutional skeptics." But this is healthy because the traditional model of women in the business marketplace is "dangerous - it nourishes apathy, hostility, and mediocrity," she said. Concluding her speech, Cunningham addressed the audience directly on a personal level. The applause thundered as she said, "Women can not merely make an impact or contribution (to the business world) by imitating men - they must keep their traditional feminine traits such as compassion, good listening skills, caring d. s , ''The nation's economy needs you,"~ she said. "The responsibility of humanizing the corporate community and insuring that each individual ad- vances on a more equal footing to make the workplace a more enjoyable, productive, humane place to be remains with you. s s In addition to speeches by several of the nation's most successful women, the - conference offered a conglomeration of exhibits from the newestinddiet colas, streamlined sports cars, and Hudson's fashions, to the newest technological advances in com- puter ware, tupperware, and facial hair (or make-up).{ IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Memo could hurt arms talks WASHINGTON-The Reagan Administration is trying to limit the poten- tial damage caused by the release of an internal memorandum that accuses some U.S. negotiators of seeking progress "at any cost" in arms control talks with the Soviet Union. Some administration officials fear that the disclosure last week of the memo, prepared for the chief U.S. negotiator at the talks in Geneva by someone on his staff, could cast doubt on Washington's sincerity in reaching any arms agreements with Moscow. In addition, they say it has worsened already low morale at the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, could disrupt the cohesion of the American negotiating team, and is complicating President Reagan's struggle to win Senate confirmation of Kenneth Adelman as the agency's new director. The memo criticized more than a dozen U.S. arms control officials and recommended that many be purged. The paper has been disavowed by the man for whom it was prepared, retired Army Lt. Gen. Edward Rowny, chief U.S. negotiator at the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks. Decontrol gas prices, says energy commission head WASHINGTON-The head of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission warned yesterday that unless Congress acts quickly to solve natural gas pricing problems, there "will be a disaster in the gas market" for both con- sumers and producers. "Rules governing natural gas prices must be changed, and they must be changed soon," FERC chairman C.M. Butler told the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. The commission oversees the gas pricing system. The panel finished four days of hearings on President Reagan's plan to remove all controls from natural gas by 1986, a plan Reagan says will cut prices and end the complaints of consumers who have been hit by price hikes of 40 to 50 percent a year. "The most urgent problem is that natural gas prices are now on average too high," Butler said. "Consumers are being required to pay prices that serve no rational economic purpose; producers with new supplies are fin- ding it impossible to market their gas." Nkomo flees to London JOHANNESBURG, South Africa-Zimbabwe opposition leader Joshua Nkomo flew to London yesterday, repeating charges that the soldiers of his bitter rival Prime Minister Robert Mugabe had tried to kill him. "If I though it was safe to go back to Zimbabwe, I would have gone back yesterday," Nkomo told reporters before he left. "I am going back home," he said, but would not say when. Nkomo claims government troops were looking for him when they burst into his house last week and killed his driver. "I never thought it would come to this when they start shooting at you in your own home," he said yesterday. Mugabe has emphatically denied ordering Nkomo's assassination. The two rivals led separate guerrilla groups in the independence movement for what was then white-ruled Rhodesia, a British colony. After a seven-year guerrilla war, the southeast African land became black-ruled Zimbabwe in 1980. Israelis stone Carter motorcade Palestinians on the Israeli-occupied West Bank hurled stones at the motorcade of former President Jimmy Carter Saturday and protests against his private visit to Israel left five people injured. Carter's limousine had long passed through the center of the West Bank town of Ramallah when Palestinian youths aimed rocks at the last vehicles in his motorcade. The stones fell harmlessly, while Carter's vehicle was at least a half-mile ahead. Israeli soldiers quickly chased off the stone throwers. After the Carter party had passed through the town, protesters were dispersed with tear gas and water cannons. Israel radio said two policemen were injured. Carter's six-day visit to Israel, part of a seven-nation Middle East tour, has touched off demonstrations in the Israeli-occupied territories despite his repeated calls during the visit for Palestinian rights. Many Palestinians were angered by Carter's sponsorship of the Israeli- Egyptian peace treaty and the autonomy plan for the West Bank, which does not call for a Palestinian state. Reagan order violates civil liberties, critics say WASHINGTON-President Reagan's directive to use polygraph tests to plug the leaks of classified information raises serious civil liberties concerns and "smacks of a government that just bullies its people," critics said yesterday. Rep. Don Edwards (D-Calif.) said the administration order requiring federal employees with security clearances to submit to lie detector tests in a leak investigation has "a totalitarian ring to it." Edwards said the House civil and constitutional rights subcommittee, which he chairs, will hold hearings. Reagan, increasingly annoyed over leaks of classified information to the media and others, issued the order Friday. It establishes for the first time a standard policy on using lie detector tests. The order requires all federal agencies to amend their policies to allow polygraph tests and warns that workers who refuse to take a test, if requested, may be subject to "adverse consequences." In the past, federal employees could take a lie detector test voluntarily but were not penalized if they refused. Only the CIA, the National Security Agency and certain parts of the Justice and Defense Departments could require workers to submit to lie detector tests.

She described those who do get involved as "courageous." During the 1950s, colleges allowed women very little freedom and adhered to traditional sex role, Steinem said. "I've been corrupted by going to college. It was more than an education, it was a brainwashing in the '50s," she said. STEINEM encouraged women to take control of their bodies by fighting for reproductive freedom, calling anti- abortion legislation a "legal night- mare." "We (women) can make sure we never vote for any politician at any level who doesn't support reproductive freedom. Unless we can control our bodies from the skin in, we'll never con- trol it from the skin out," she said. As she took the stage to deliver her speech, she said she was very optimistic about the future of the women's movement. The Ms. magazine founder arrivedat the conference threehours late after her plane was snowed-in in Albany. The crowd, however, didn't seem to mind and greeted her with thunderous applause. Steinem added, however, that she is not optimistic about the White House, alluding to President Reagan's refusal to support pro-choice legislation and the Equal Rights Amendment. Reagan has blamed women for the current high unemployment rate, but women actually lost one million jobs a year, she said. Other featured speakers at the con- ference by A Better Way, Inc., a job counseling service, included corporate executive Mary Cunningham, author Judith (Ordinary People) Guest, Paula Blanchard (wife of Michigan Gov. James Blanchard), and Detroit newscaster Carmen Harlen. Read and Use Daily Classifieds 4 I PREFER MY OWN ROOM Enjoy your own remodeled apartment at University Towers.
