AUSTIN—Attorney General John
Hill said Tuesday the United States
Supreme court has agreed to hear
arguments in a case which will de
termine if Texas natural gas pro
ducers can be forced to sell their
products to out-of-state consumers.
Hill said the court has scheduled
arguments on the case which in
volves a suit by Southland Royalty
Co. of Fort Worth against the Fed
eral Power Commission on Dec. 7.
Hill has joined the suit on the side
of the power company, and
Louisiana and New Mexico have
filed briefs with the Supreme Court
supporting Texas’ position in the
case.
The suit stems from an FPC order
issued in 1975 when leases held by
Gulf Oil Corp. on land in Crane and
Ector Counties expired. Gulf had
been selling gas from the land to El
Paso Natural Gas Co., which put the
fuel into interstate pipelines, and

JFK service
United Press International
DALLAS — The 14th anniversary
of John F. Kennedy’s assassination
was remembered briefly at noon
Tuesday with a memorial service
which other groups took advantage
of to push causes.
The subdued service was held be
fore a crowd of about 150 at the
Kennedy Memorial on the western
edge of doWntown Dallas.
“It is fitting that we citizens of the
city and county of Dallas pause in
memory of this great American pres
ident, ” said Ron Kessler, chairman
of the Dallas County Democratic
Party which sponsored the service.
“President Kennedy has been put
into perspective by historians. It
may be not so much what he did,
but what he was that was important.
He had the kind of mind that could
entertain vision, Kessler said.
Although the memorial was in
tended to pay respect to the past
president, the service was easily
overshadowed other occurrences.
Attention was diverted by a minor
accident at one minute until noon at
Main and Market streets, two or
ganizations publicizing a rally and
protest parade against “police bru
tality,” and a service that was held
two blocks west at Dealey Plaza, the
actual site of the gunfire which
killed Kennedy, by an organization
which does not believe that Lee
Harvey Oswald acted alone Nov.
22, 1963.
Nicholas Blessick, a resident of
North Olmsted, Ohio, a small town
near Cleveland, put all of the
gatherings in perspective. He stood
near the fountains, east of the triple
underpass, looking north a half
block to the sixth-floor window in a
building which by next year likely
will no longer be called the Texas
Schoolbook Depository.
“We just got here, me and my
family,” he said. “We ll go up there
(to the memorial service) in just a
minute. We wanted to see this first.
This was where it happened.
“Everything is so close together
here. I thought it was a big, wide
area. But it’s so little. You can cer
tainly see all the possibilities.”

the FPC ordered Southland to con
tinue sales to El Paso.
Southland officials preferred,
however, to sell the gas to Intratex
Gas Co., which serves industry and
other customers in the Houston
area.
Southland filed suit challenging
the FPC order, and the 5th Circuit
Court of Appeals in New Orleans
upheld Southland’s right to sell to
intrastate customers if it preferred.
“While this issue is being debated
in Congress, we may wake up and
find the courts have already settled
it,” Hill said. “That is why I have
entered this case to present the ar
gument for continued freedom to
choose between selling gas to out of
state buyers or Texas buyers.”
Hill said the case is more impor
tant to most states because most of
the natural gas produced in Texas is
consumed within the state.
“This strong intrastate market not
only has kept gas flowing to our
homes during winter while some
Northern states have gone without,
but it also has fueled our Gulf Coast
petrochemical complex, which is a
key contributor to our state’s
healthy economy,” he said.
