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

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.

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-

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

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.
