The spill, triggered by a fire Sun day, was important enough for PEMEX Director General Jorge Diaz Serrano to cut short a trip to Venezuela to visit the well 42 miles offshore in the Bay of Campeche. PEMEX said it was “mobilizing all of its resources to face the situa tion” at the Ixtoc I well “which has been out of control since dawn Sun day.” The well was producing 30,000 ★ 1, 2 & 3 Bedrooms ★ 2 Swimming Pools ★ Professional Tennis Courts ★ Exercise Room With Sauna ★ Zacharias Greenhouse Disco & Game Parlor Taiwan treaty suit dismissed Summer ’79 Specials Month to Month 1 Bedrooms , 150 00 2 Bedrooms $ 200 00 3 Bedrooms $ 280 00 EXTRA SPECIAL PRICES Summer, Fall, ip- Spring! United Press International WASHINGTON — A federal judge Wednesday dismissed a law suit by Sen. Barry Goldwater, Ariz., and 24 other conservatives chal lenging President Carter’s termination of the Mutual Defense Treaty with Taiwan. U. S District Judge Oliver Gash said although he agreed that deci sions affecting treaties with foreign countries should be shared bet ween the president and Congress, he believed the case does not belong in court unless Congress actually votes to nullify Carter’s action. “If the Congress approves the president’s action, the issue pre sently before the court would be moot,” Gash ruled. “If the Senate or the Congress takes action, the result of which falls short of approving the termination effort, then the controversy will be ripe for a judicial declaration respecting hte president’s authority to act unilaterally.” The suit by Goldwater, eight other senators, 16 House members and former Sen. Carl Curtis, R-Neb., sought a court order declaring termination of the 1954 treaty null and void on the grounds that Carter took the action without the advice and consent of the Senate or approval of both houses of Congress. The legal challenge was potentially explosive because the cut-off of the defense pact with Taiwan was tied to the historic opening of relations with the People’s Republic of China. Gash ruled in the case after Goldwater and Attorney General Grif fin Bell each appeared last month at a federal court hearing, during which he heard oral arguments. leases signed summer spring and fail only FREE GIFT CERTIFICATE 693-2933 693-3014 1201 (HWY 30) HUNTSVILLE HWY COLLEGE STATION [This certificate entitles you to one free 10 oz.

All that oil has been spilling into the sea since Sunday although about 15,000 barrels a day was burning up in the fire that still raged as of Mon day, the company said. PEMEX said up to 30 percent of the remaining oil spilled would evaporate and specialized ships could recover up to 5,000 barrels per day per ship. It did not say how many ships were at the site or whether they had started work. A marine drilling rig was on its way to the site to drill a slanted well that would intercept Ixtoc 1 and stop the underwater gusherl enough to cap it, PEMEX said,! tioning it may take more thanj months to drill the new well!

The fighting also spread to the key northern city of Matagalpa. In a communique on Costa Rica’s Radio Reloj, Sandinistas claimed 500 of their soldiers controlled Leon, Nicaragua’s second largest city, and said they shot down warplanes that bombed and strafed the city Tuesday. Witnesses said guard planes fired around 80 rockets on Leon, 55 miles northwest of Managua. The city was without water or electricity and hospitals were full of wounded, they said. The rebels dug trenches to pre pare for more government rein forcements they said were being sent from Managua. Costa Rica declared a 10-mile area along its northern border with Nicaragua a military zone and evacuated civilians in the region be cause of the fierce fighting on the Nicaraguan side. Radio Reloj re ported. A Sandinista communique re leased late Tuesday said the Rigoberto Lopez Perez Column Tuesday attacked the town of Somotillo, near Chinandega and 77 miles north of Managua, where it blew up the guard command post and killed its commander.
