OPEC may change oil prices
a
United Press International
VIENNA, Austria— Saudi Arabia
is pushing for a “long term” OPEC
strategy to adjust oil prices every
three months, but few countries par
ticipating in this week’s special
meeting of OPEC ministers advo
cated new hikes in the price of oil.
With the world oil markets glut
ted, OPEC countries led by Iran are
seeking production cuts to shore up
sinking oil prices.
The oil cartel’s petroleum, foreign
and finance ministers are meeting
against the backdrop of fierce border
clashes between two key members
— Iran and Iraq — which already
threaten to unsettle for agreement.
Iran, now unable to sell much of its
high-priced crude oil due to the flood
of oil on world markets, called Sun
day for the 13 Organization of Pet
roleum Exporting Countries mem
bers to cut production.
But Iraq, important to any effort to
curb supplies as OPEC’s second-
biggest producer, warned its border
warfare with Iran would affect the
deliberations.
“When there is a need we will go
down,” said Iraqui Oil Minister
Tayeh Abdul Karim. “But relations
between Iraq and Iran are very bad
at the moment and, of course, this
will have an influence on the confer-
Most ministers said there would
be no change in the price structure of
$32 to $37 a barrel adopted by all
OPEC members except Saudi Ara
bia last June.
The Saudis are expected to raise
their own price of $28 a barrel by $2
to $4, but Oil Minister Sheikh
Ahmed Zaki Yamani again pushed
for Saudi's long term strategy of
periodic price adjustments. He
made no mention of immediate price
increases, however.
The Saudi plan calls for adjust
ment of OPEC prices every three
months, based on inflation, fluctua
tions of major currencies and econo
mic growth in industrialized nations.
“We hope to have a unanimous
decision,” Yamani said.
But OPEC sources said Algeria,
Libya and Iran, known as hard line
states in the cartel, were holding out
against the plan.
A final decision on long term
strategy by the ministers was consi
dered likely to be put off until a
second session just before an OPEC
summit in Bagdhad, nowespT
early November. E;

United Press International
SCOTLAND, Conn. — Imperial
Wizard Bill Wilkinson was released
on $1,000 bond Monday pending a
hearing in Windham County Super
ior Court. The hearing originally was
set for Monday but was postponed to
Sept. 30 at the request of Wilkinson’s
lawyer.
Only a few hours after he was
arrested on a weapons charge Sun
day, Wilkinson told a Ku Klux Klan
rally that the Klan stands for “law and
order. ”
Police, who found a loaded .45-
caliber automatic pistol in a suitcase
in the trunk of Wilkinson’s car
charged him with possession of a
dangerous weapon.
A Superior Court judge issued a
no-weapons order after Wilkinson
announced the rally grounds would
be patrolled by armed Klansmen to
keep out non-whites and protesters.
State trooper Fred Vollono said
Wilkinson was stopped at a check
point on Cemetery Road outside the
rally site Sunday.
“We were stopping everybody.
We found inside his suitcase, which
was inside the trunk of the car, a
loaded .45-caliber automatic pistol, ”
Vollono said.
Wilkinson was first charged with
disobeying a court order that prohi
bited carrying weapons in the town
and of carrying a dangerous weapon
in a motor vehicle. State police later
dropped the first charge, saying the
court order only gave them the right
to search cars.
After his release, he gave an hour-
long speech in a cow pasture at a rally
that ended with the burning of a 20-
foot oil-soaked wooden cross. He
spoke to several hundred people
ringed by state police on the usual
Klan topics:
“God didn’t make several races to
mix them up. Nature doesn’t. You
don’t see the red birds and the
bluebirds getting together.”
The former electrical contractor
said, “The Klan is for the white race;
blacks do not have the samel
whites, and the Klanisforfa
it believes in law and order’
e;
"The Klan is for Amerkal
We re sick and tired of semU
lions of dollars to foreign cot*
who turn around, bumourr^
sics, take our hostages and
faces,” he said. *
