Gramm asks more
domestic oil wells
Expanded domestic oil produc
tion is the best solution to America’s
energy problems, said an A&M
economist Thursday. Dr. W. Philip
Gramm called for immediate leas
ing of oil reserves on federal land in
Alaska and California and opening
up for exploration the continental
shelf on both the East and West
Coasts.
The proposal was made in an af
ternoon presentation at the Ameri
can Heritage Foundation Congres
sional Seminar in Washington, D.
C.
In addition to Gramm, the semi
nar included Senators Claiborne
Pell, D-R.I. and Carl Curtis,
R-Neb. and representatives of the
Republican and Democratic Steer
ing Committees.
“We are no closer to a solution to
our energy problems today than we
were a year ago,” said Dr. Gramm,
professor of economics.
He chided Congress for “being
more concerned with profits than
with production and more efficient
in spreading the misery of the shor
tage and rising prices than with get
ting on with the solution.”
“The solution is to expand
domestic supply,” Gramm said.
“Energy conservation alone will not
solve America’s energy problems.
We must have increased domestic
production.”
He proposed immediate leasing
of the “Naval Reserves,” which he
defined as oil reserves on govern
ment land in Alaska and California,
and the opening up of the continen
tal shelf on the East and West
Coasts for exploration.
Dr. Gramm said first priority
should be given to deregulation of
natural gas prices on interstate
sales.
“Price ceilings on natural gas
have stifled output, created foreign
dependence and increased price to
the consumer,” he contended. “In
1972 about half of the petroleum
imports into the U. S. consisted of
heavy oil which is used as a substi
tute for natural gas in heating homes
and generating electricity.”
Economists estimate that if
natural gas price ceilings were
eliminated, output would expand,
natural gas would undersell heavy
oil by one-half and imports would
fall off as would fuel prices, Gramm
said.
He said blaming the petroleum
industry for the nation’s energy
problems is “scapegoatism in its
rawest and most counterproductive
form.”
Noting the petroleum industry
has responded to rising prices with
increased investment and explora
tion expenditures, Gramm said any
scheme to tax petroleum profits
must allow exemption for invest
ment plowbacks.
The rise in the price of petroleum
products produced by President
Ford’s tax proposal could further
disrupt industry and worsen unem
ployment, Gramm said. “Proposed
income tax cuts, however, if not ac
companied by increases in tax col
lections from other sources, could
produce inflation rates and
economic disruptions which would
make our last year’s experience look
good by comparison,” he con
tinued. “While the ‘Petroleum Era’
will pass as did the Stone Age, we
can make the best use of the world’s
fossil fuel supplies if the govern
ment will allow the free market sys
tem to work,” he concluded. “Gov
ernment controls and regulation
help cause our energy problems,
and it would be foolish to believe
that the imposition of more controls
and regulations are going to solve
our energy problems.”

The suspects were charged after
beating Patrolman James Conrad
with their fists. The incident occur
red on the parking lot of the Silver

about 10:40 p.m. Tuesday. They

According to police reports, Con
rad, a former University policeman,
was patrolling the parking lot when
he saw Blake urinating near a pic
kup truck. Conrad stopped and told
Blake to come to him. Blake al
legedly ignored Conrad and went
back inside the club. Conrad fol
lowed him inside and told him he
was under arrest for disorderly con
duct. Upon leaving the club, Blake
whirled around and struck Conrad
in the face.
Conrad ordered Blake, who
weighs 244 pounds and stands 6
feet, 3 inches, to place his hands on
the hood of a car parked outside.
Blake then began swinging vio
lently, and Conrad returned blows.
Meanwhile, a crowd had gathered
to watch the scuffle.
The manager of the club, Brian
Slater, rushed out from the crowd
and helped Conrad attempt to pin
wmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
M"
Blake against a parked car. Blake
overpowered both of them and
grabbed Conrad’s head and ram
med it into a wooden post on the
front porch of the club. Weber and
Jackson joined in the fight, helping
to pin Conrad to the ground while
Blake repeatedly hit him.
Jackson and Weber left in a pic
kup truck before more police ar
rived. Blake was handcuffed at the
scene. Jackson and Weber were
later apprehended and taken into
custody.
Conrad was taken to St. Joseph
Hospital with cuts and bruises on
his face and body. He was treated
and released later that night.
