Secretary of Interior Donald P. Hodel told reporters,“Continued abandonment of such wells clearly will reduce our ultimate recovery potential” on federal lands, and that loss of productive capacity “no doubt will increase U.S. dependence on im ported oil — which is contrary to the nation’s interests.” Involved are so-called “stripper” wells, which produce less than 10 barrels per day. Failure to produce from such a well on a federal lease has meant the lease is supposed to be surrendered after 60 days. Operators now will just have to give the Bureau of Land Manage ment a certificate that they would abandon the well otherwise and the “VFe do not favor protec tionist activities and we do not favor subsidies for an industry or a sector of an industry. ” — Secretary of Interior Donald P. Model. bureau will lift the 60-day require ment, “subject to our right to require production” and payment of Si per acre per year, Hodel said. While the action clearly will help some well operators, Hodel repeated the Reagan administration’s stance against general aid to the domestic petroleum industry. “We do not fa vor protectionist activities and we do not favor subsidies for an industry or a sector of an industry,” he said. A bipartisan group of senators led by Sen. David L. Boren, D-Okla., is drafting a bill to aid small producers through a package of increased tax breaks. Boren’s press aide. Barbara Webb, said the bill would embody such principles as an undetermined increase in the stripper well deple tion allowance of 15 percent, tax credits to make up the difference be tween the cost oi production and the selling price and purchase of strip per oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. 1 he 50,000 barrels a day bought for the reserve comes from Mexico. Hodel said he did not believe pur chases should come Irom "am par ticular domestic suppliers” if the ad ministration decides to buy domestic crude when the Mexican contract runs out in J uly. Many operators have abandoned stripper wells, or have announced plans to do so, since crude oil prices went into f ree fall earlv this year. Adoptees’ self-images improve NEW YORK (AP) — Today’s young people who were adopted are seeing themselves in a more positive way than has previously been the case. Dr. Richard Detweiller, profes sor of psychology at Drew Univer sity, said in a talk here. He was the main speaker at a re cent meeting of the New York auxil iary of the Edna Gladney Home, a private adoption agency based in Fort Worth. Detweiller, who also is vice-presi dent for planning and communica tion at the university in Madison, N.J., is the author of a study com paring the perceptions young peo ple with adoptive parents have about themselves with the perceptions of those with biological parents. The study, “Does Adopted Mean Different?” was based on a question naire completed by a group ol adopted and non-adopted people between the ages of 13 and 21 in the northern New Jersey area. Detweiller said the study had not been made in the context of adop tion, but rather, in the context of self perception, asking the basic ques tion, “What do you think about yourself ?” Those queried were asked what kind of parenting they were receiv ing; how much they felt in control of their lives; and what their view of the world was. Detweiller said he found that adopted children said their parents were more nurturing, expressed a higher level of comforting, and pro vided more “helpful interference” in coping with problems than did non- adopted children. In addition, the adopted children had a more positive world view: they saw others in a more positive way and had a higher level of confidence than non-adopted children, he said. He said, the pattern of responses “did not confirm previous research literature which indicated that adopted persons felt they were not in control of themselves, had low sell esteem, felt isolated and had a poor self-image.” Detweiller said he believes the new findings were made because: • A majority ol the previous stud ies were conducted in a clinical set ting. where adopted children were undergoing some form of counsel ing. • In the past, people expected less desirable from adopted children. • Parents now are le: about adoption. may have behavior Allergy-prone animal lovers still keep pets PHOENIX, Am. (AP)-Some humans continue to live with pets that make them sick, allergists sav. Doc tor s attending the 42ndan nual Congress of the American College of Allergists here recentlv said many of their patients were pet owners who would ratherget medical care for their animalal- lergies than part with their dogs and cats.
