United Press International LAREDO — A south Texas millionaire claims in a nearly $1.3 billion lawsuit that a Mobil Oil subsidiary and other firms have breached terms of a con tract on a more than 64,000-acre lease on and off since 1933. The attorney for reclusive banker-rancher Clinton Manges said Sunday he and fellow attor ney Pat Maloney of San Antonio filed the lawsuit to cancel a lease held by a Mobil subsidiary since March 3, 1925, on a total of 64,646 acres. Some of the acres on the lease are owned by Manges, and some are state property. Manges claims the lease requires succes sive operations on the land — meaning that no more than 90 days may elapse between ending work on one well and beginning operations on another. “It’s a suit to cancel an oil and gas lease for failure to perform according to the terms of the lease,” Frank R. Nye Jr., a Rio Grande City lawyer, said Sun day. “They had the duty to come alveston hospital aids ictim of jetliner crash United Press International I GALVESTON — Seven-year- old Rachel Schultz, severely Brned by the crash of a jetliner Btoher Kenner, La., home Fri- iay, was awake and agreeable * but still in critical condition at Shriners Burns Institute Monday. I “She’s conscious and alert ^nd extremely affable,” Nursing irector Jim Winkler said, de- pite the fact that she was wrap- ed in body dressings for second third degree burns over 82 ercent of her body. She was listed in “critical but iable” condition. “She was commenting on the leauty of the doctor’s blue eyes, sked if she was having problem bathing, she said, ‘Not to my nowledge,’ which is really an unusual answer from a 7-year- old,” Winkler said. Rachel’s grandfather accom panied her from a New Orleans hospital to Galveston in a heli copter Sunday. Officials said she left New Orleans sucking a pop- sickle and sticking her tongue out at her father through a hole in her bandages. Winkler said Rachel was una ware that her sister, Jennifer, 11, died and her mother, Bar bara, 33, suffered burns over 80 percent of her body when Pan American Flight 759 crashed in their neighborhood shortly af ter takeoff, sending exploding fuel into their home. Mrs. Schultz remained hospitalized in New Orleans’ East Jefferson General Hospital in critical con dition. Dr. David Herndon, chief of staff at Shriners, said Rachel faced extensive skin grafting and a long stay in the hospital. Winkler said Rachel was re ceiving psychological consulta tion as well as treatment for her burns. One attending physician, Dr. Lisa Youel, said: “She has done well since she’s been here, but ‘well’ is a deceptive term when a child is this critically burned. The mortality rate is very high when a child is burned this badly.” Winkler said that although the prognosis usually has not been optimistic for victims of 80 percent burns, Rachel’s age and the skills developed at Shriners were in her favor. an Antonio congressman ants more funds for bases United Press International ■ SAN ANTONIO — Rep. Henry B. Gonzalez, D-Texas, Slys he and other House mem bers will try to restore $30 mil foil in military construction funds for San Antonio that were cut from a budget bill in the Senate. I The money was originally in tended for four of San Antonio’s five military bases, including $20 million for barracks at Fort Sam Houston. “This is a bread and butter issue for San Antonio,” Gon zalez said Sunday. “The com munity must work for the entire House package.” The House version of the bill includes the $30 million for San Antonio. A House-Senate con ference committee is to begin ork this week on a compromise package. Gonzalez urged San Anto nio’s leaders to contact Sen. John Tower, R-Texas, whose Senate Armed Services Commit tee cut the military construction budget from $47.5 million to $17.5 million. In addition to the barracks, Fort Sam Houston would re- Ti [•] FULL CAR CARE • Air Conditioning • Tune Ups • Brakes • Charging Systems • Engine Rebuilding • ^5 OWNER J.

College Station in and continuously drill with out any breach of more than 90 days throughout the length of the term of the lease. “Right at the beginning they missed out and there were some breaches that occurred and some subsequent breaches,” he said, claiming the lease was first breached in 1933. “The lease is so large and cov ers so great an area that it was only recently discovered when they had a chance to go in and examine the drilling records. It was only discovered about a year and a half ago.” No trial date has been set on the suit naming Mobil Produc ing Texas and New Mexico Inc., a subsidiary of Mobil Oil; Sun Oil; Petroleum Corp. of Texas; Texas Star Service Inc.; and nearly 100 individual lease hol- ceive $2 million to air condition post schools and $310,000 for a dining facility at the Academy of Health Sciences. The House bill also includes $3.5 million for an education center, metal bonding shop and refueling vehicle shop at Kelly Air Force Base- TOTAL PERFORMANCE hat I’veta 1 ! ■esidentwf >hy in eady l e ‘ l ders as defendants. The lawsuit filed Friday said Mobil has 212 wells producing on 4,240 acres of the lease, leav ing 60,406 or 93 percent of the land undeveloped. Manges asks recovery of more than 35 million barrels of oil produced since the first lapse in drilling. Fair market value of the oil is $32 per barrel or $1.14 bil lion. In addition, Manges wants gas produced since the lapse, which is in excess of 115 million mcf (million cubic feet) — amounting to $362.25 million. Manges claims $70 million in damages because of Mobil’s fai lure to relinquish the lease, and asks for $100 million in exem plary damages as punishment because of allegedly fraudulent acts by Mobil.
