THE BATTALION Page 11 WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1980 V^ote race Critical Iowa caucus is still wide open LWV planning primary debates United Press International WASHINGTON — The League of Women Voters said Tuesday it will hold six additional debates between candidates for the Democratic and Republican presidential nomina tions. The group which sponsored the debates between Jimmy Carter and Gerald R. Ford in 1976, said it would hold similar forums in Manchester, N. H., on Feb. 19 for Democrats and Feb. 20 for Republicans. The new forums will be: —March 12 Democrats and March 13 Republicans in Chicago. The Illinois primary is March 18. —April 22 Democrats and April 23 Republicans in Houston. Texas Re publicans hold a primary May 3. —May 27 Republicans and May 28 Democrats in San Francisco. The California primary is June 3. The Houston debate is the same night as the Pennsylvania primary, which is shaping up as a potentially important contest in both the Demo cratic and Republican races. United Press International Sen. Edward Kennedy’s Iowa rategists say President Carter still lids top cards in the state, but in- edients are there for a Kennedy dory in the caucuses next Monday at start the delegate selection pro- ss. Kennedy operatives Bob Miller id Paul Tully said Monday the de- ding factor could be the success of a assive get-out-the-vote effort in ming days. Tully said Kennedy lould have organizers in 2,300 of state’s 2,531 caucuses by next onday. “Ifwe do our job, we 11 be in good lape in this state,” he said. “We ink we’ll have enough identified ipport by the 21st (Monday) to ake it very close or possibly a win. ” Kennedy bought 30 minutes of levision time in eight cities in Iowa id neighboring Nebraska Monday gilt for a commercial featuring his nswers” — on foreign policy, mili- ry strength, agriculture, the *momy, price controls, nuclear iwer, tax reform, ERA and the ain embargo — in the debate with irter that never came off. Also on Monday, former Ambas- ideof dor George Bush predicted that of |Vi. dge. by an red i ingiii wk ha« iwanl epre- ie Di- fvifu 1 . nine Republican contenders only and former California Gov. Ronald Reagan may be left in the Republican race by the time the votes are counted in the March 18 Illinois primary. Bush revealed his New Hamp shire organization chart to reporters in Concord. It showed the names of campaign chairmen in all but 19 of the state’s 236 towns and cities, and Bush said the remaining 19 will be added by the end of this week. Bush’s Vermont manager, Clark Benson, meanwhile, said he was not dismayed at news that 600 seats had been sold and another 800 applicants turned away from a dinner arranged for Reagan’s first swing through Vermont this week. “It doesn’t strike fear into our hearts,” Benson said. “He (Reagan) is a national figure. People want to see him because they remember him from the 1938 movies. It transcends politics. ” California Gov. Edmund Brown Jr. also was in New Hampshire Monday — laying full blame for the Iranian crisis on President Carter’s shoulders. “He’s the fellow who made the de cision to let the shah in and not bring the diplomats home first,” Brown told factory workers in Manchester. “He left them exposed to that Iranian mob.” 'ro duce r- r e fine r leals questioned aehu- leter- :o be gein with •aphy the cl his mber ilica; —'in rred, idmi- udies tidal pho s tes- VS United Press International (WASHINGTON — The Energy ipartment said Tuesday it is con- lering whether to ban or limit cements between oil producers 1 refiners that could be used to ide federal crude oil price con- 1s. The department said its Economic gulatory Administration “may rt a rule-making procedure” to de- mine whether oil producers are ng crude oil processing agree- mts to evade price controls. The agency had planned to an- mce its inquiry into the suspici on processing deals on Jan. 2, but press release was quashed be- ise officials regarded its language too strong, an agency source said. The contemplated ride-making )ld result in a ban or new restric tions on certain processing arrange ments. Under such an agreement, a pro ducer contracts with a refiner to pro cess his controlled crude oil into un controlled refined products without relinquishing ownership. The advantage to the producer could be the difference between sell ing crude oil at a controlled price under $7 a barrel and marketing re-i> sidual fuel oil, for example, at prices of about $16 a barrel. The agency said such processing agreements between producers and refiners, rare in the past, have in creased six-fold in the past year. The agency said its probe of the practice would not affect processing agreements that serve a useful pur pose, such as those made between two refiners when one is faced with a temporary maintenance shutdown.
