HOUSTON — The oil industry,
faced with an image problem of crisis
proportions, needs drastically re
vamped public relations approaches,
an expert said Tuesday.
“The oil industry is simply not pre
senting its case effectively enough to
win the public support it needs,”
said Kalman B. Druck, vice chair
man of the Harshe-Rotman & Druck
advertising agency of New York.
Druck called for the attacking of
major issues head-on instead of
avoiding them and working more
constructively with the media.
“The oil industries are having to
deal with outside pressures such as
runaway prices, increasingly heavy
government intervention, and
attacks from public activist groups,”
Druck said.

CORPUS CHRISTI — President
Carter’s anti-inflation program
ignores the problems of minorities
and the oversight could drive them
to the Republican Party, the presi
dent of the League of United Latin
American Citizens said Tuesday.
“The announcement guarantees
increased unemployment and in
creasing economic disparity in the
Hispanic and black communities,”
said Ruben Bonilla. “The bold
announcement constitutes a breach
of the 1976 campaign pledges which
promised increased educational and
economic opportunity for all Amer
icans.
“I believe the Carter Administra
tion has misjudged the strength of
the minority community in America
in formulating its anti-inflation cam
paign.”
Bonilla charged that all the pres
idential candidates were “fighting to
move to the right of each other” and
that some Hispanics might turn to

the Republican Party out of frustra
tion with Carter’s new budget.
“It takes for granted minorities
will vote Democratic automatically,
regardless of fiscal policy,” he said.
“I think that’s a mistake.
“The economic policy may be so
adverse that the Hispanic commun
ity will become disenfrachised and
alienated. The Republicans are
astute enough to offer a candidate
who is progressive and whose poli
cies are not much more conservative
than Carter’s, such as George Bush.
A substantial number of Hispanics
could support Bush in anger.
“The president and his adminis
tration apparently have set aside hu
man needs and have made the work
ing man the expendable commodity
in the course of the nation’s econo
mic planning. In spite of there being
no official congressional declaraton
of war, the budget nonetheless pro
vides for record $158 billion defense
spending,” he said.
“In that regard, the budget consti
tutes a windfall for giant corporate
conglomerates and the defense con
tractors of America, although our
country is in a time of relative peace.
The economic announcement feeds
on a war hysteria being cultivated
across our nation’s front pages.
“The announcements are a sense
of great disappointment to the His
panic community and lead one, fairly
or unfairly, to the conclusion the
plan is based on political expediency
and election-eve strategy.”
Bonilla also strongly cn'^
Carter’s failure to appoint a fe,, ,
American or black to a higiiL-. .
ship role in the president's!^!^, ,
election effort.

WITTS SPRING, Ark. —The sur
vivor of a light plane crash in the
northern Arkansas mountains said
heavy fog and high wind proved too
much for the pilot, who was killed.
Pilot Roscoe Holbrook, 54, of Cor
sicana, Texas, was flying back from
Mountain Home, Ark., to Corsicana
Tuesday when the single-engine
Rockwell Commander 112 crashed,
Searcy County Sheriff Lome Reeves
said.
James Gray, the passenger, was
not seriously injured in the moun-
taintop crash. He spent an hour
climbing down the mountain for
help, Reeves said.
“He (Gray) said there was a real
heavy fog and the visibility was just
down to nothing,” Reeves said. “And
it also appeared they were flying too
low. They said they hit a downdraft
and just couldn’t gain altitude.”
Gray, 32, was later treated and
released at the Boone Coutea
