Profit tax top priority
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Three main
components of President Carter’s
energy program — particularly the
oil windfall profits tax — are ex
pected to get top priority treatment
when Congress resumes work later
this month.
House and Senate negotiators are
due to meet Thursday to continue
seeking a compromise on their dif
fering windfall tax bills before Con
gress returns Jan. 22.
The conferees agreed before the
Christmas holidays on a $227.3 bil
lion revenue figure for the windfall
bill, splitting the difference between
the Senate’s $178 billion tax and the
$277 billion tax passed by the House.
But they did not complete work on
the windfall tax,^ so the president
postponed further decontrol of
domestic oil prices until Congress
sends him an acceptable bill.
The delay is estimated to be cost
ing domestic oil companies $700,000
a day, so politicians from oil produc
ing states — which are well repre
sented on both the House and Sen
ate conference delegations — are ex
pected to rush for quick completion
of the legislation.
Carter wants the tax so the Treas
ury can receive some of the nearly $1
trillion in unearned income oil pro
ducers are expected to make be
tween 1980 and 1990 because of Car
ter’s decision to decontrol domestic
oil prices, allowing domestic crude
prices to rise gradually to world
Sun Theatres
levels.
One of the controversial decisions
facing the conference committee is
whether to raise the tax on indepen
dent oil producers or on major oil
companies to make up the difference
between the $178 billion Senate bill
and the $227.3 billion compromise.
Two other bills considered a major
part of the Carter energy program
also are tied up in House-Senate con
ferences.
They are an omnibus energy bill
— which includes a program of mas
sive government aid to synthetic fuel
plants plus incentives for gasohol
production and energy conservation
— and legislation creating a “fast
track” bypassing government roadb
locks for approval of high priority
energy projects, such as synfuel
plants.

Farmers will demonstrate
in Washington in February
United Press International
LORENZO — The tone will be
softer, but the resolve of farmers in
Washington will be just as strong as
last year, says the American Agricul
ture Movement’s national wagon-
master.
“We don’t anticipate actions like
we had last year with the tractor-
cade,” says Mell D. Cherry. “We re
going to be real gentlemen, but we
are going to push our points real hard
and present the problems frankly.”
Cherry says he expects demon
strations, but no violence.
The nationwide drive to Washing
ton will begin with farmers departing
Lubbock or Plainview along a south
ern route, Cherry said.
Other farmers will travel along In
terstate 40, departing from Here
ford, where they will be led by state
coordinating wagonmaster, Jerome
Friemel.
United Press International
MOSCOW — Despite thec£c
stance that the Soviet Unionni]
be hurt by President Carter’s^
embargo, a Soviet agriculturesj
cialist is warning farmers of Wi
shortages this year.
Yuri Gorbunov, head ofthes

Speaking on a Friday night tele

“This year farmers of the Russi

“But farmers in some regions*

Boat people found to be
carriers of hepatitis strain
United Press International
ATLANTA — The national Center
for Disease Control (CDC) said
Saturday 13 percent of the “boat peo
ple” in this country are carriers of
hepatitis and dental personnel
should take special precautions
while treating the refugees.
The CDC said dentists and dental
groups in several states had express
ed concern the Indochinese refugees
posed a significant risk to them
through the transmission of hepa-
titis-B.
It said, however, that an under
standing of the ways hepatitis-B is
pread, and use of proper sterilization
and disinfection techniques “should
allow dentists to provide dental care
for the refugees in the normal dental
office with minimal risk to them
selves and virtually no risk to other

patients.”
The CDC said hepatitis-B, alive
ailment, was an occupational bazas
of medical and dental personnel
especially those who are frequent}
exposed to blood. Surgeons, on
surgeons and pathologists are
highest risk, acquiring the infectw
approximately six times more Ire
quently than the general population
About 13 percent of general do
ntists contract hepatitis-B, com
pared to roughly four percent of tk
general population, the CDC said
“The Indochinese reftigees have)
13 percent carrier rate, but because
they are an easily identifiable group,
appropriate precautions can be
taken,” the federal health agency
said.
“Thus the risk to the dentist nuj
be less than that from other highrisl
groups and from unrecognized car
riers in the general population."
The CDC and the Council on De
ntal Therapeutics of the American
Dental Association recommended
several steps dentsits should take to
lessen the risk of hepatitis infection,
including the wearing of single-use
gloves and surgical masks and eyeg
lasses.
