Saudi Arabia to increase oil prices
BEIRUT, Lebanon—The president of the Arab-dominated Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries said yesterday that Saudi Arabia—America's No. 1 foreign oil supplier—intended to increase its prices by $4 a barrel, possibly coupled with a cutback in daily oil production.
Saudi Arabia charges $23 for each of the 9.5 million barrels of oil it produces daily as the world's leading petroleum exporter.
"I think the Saudia will raise their price to $23 per barrel." Algerian Oil Minister Balakec Balkem, OPCE president, said.
A petroleum industry journal, meanwhile, reported that energy consumption in OPEC countries could possibly double in the next 10 years and reduce.
An authoritative oil journal, Petroleum Intelligence Weekly, said a newly issued study by OPEC warned both producing and consuming nations to consider energy alternatives to avoid "serious social and political changes of approaching resource depletion."
Gas storage explosion injures eight
ALBANY, N.Y.—An explosion at a gasoline storage area at the Port of Albany set four large storage tanks on fire yesterday, injuring eight people and forcing the evacuation of about 1,000 residents, officials said. The fire caused at least $1 million damage.
caused at least 4.2 million damage.
The fires at the Mobil Oil Co. yard, on the west bank of the Hudson River, sent huge clouds of black smoke over downtown Albany and were described as "uncontrollable" shortly after the explosion at 12:30 p.m. cST.
Mobil officials said the fires were confined to two tanks, but Albany fire officials said four tanks were involved. Matthew D'Ampo, manager of plant operations at Albany Fire Department, said that the fire was
Each of the tanks has a capacity of about 1.5 million gallons of gasoline, but Mobil officials said there were about 6,000 gallons in one tank and about 30,000 gallons in another. It was not known how much gasoline was in the other tanks.
"I decided to evacuate the area because there was a good possibility all the other tanks might explode, causing a pyramid effect." John Lynch,
"It was remarkable how fast people could run," said Albany Mayor Erasus Corning, who was on the scene.
Gunmen kill two Basque separatists
HERNAN, Spain - Neo-fascist gunmen topped a week of terrorist violence yesterday by assassinating two young Basque separatists who were killed in an attack in their village.
The double killing came at the end of a weekend during which five people died in violence that brought Spain's political death toll this year to 85.
Terror the cases have occurred in the past 5 years.
Scores of young separatists in the Basque provincial capital of San Sebastian took to the streets in protest after the right-wing Spanish-Basque Battalion claimed responsibility for the killings.
Police fired smoke bombs and shot rubber bullets to disperse the rioters after they barricaded streets and began throwing stones.
An 11-year-old boy was hit in the head by a rubber bullet and was hospitalized for observation.
The bodies of the two latest victims—Miguel Maria Arbelále, a shop owner in Santa Marta, and another by side in a garage. A Hernan street shortly before dawn yesterday police said.
Police said each man had been shot twice in the head and they speculated that the men had been ambushed after leaving a pre-wedding party shortly before the shooting.
Strikes continue in Polish factories
WARSAW, Doctor—Doctors confirmed yesterday that former Polish Communist party leader Edward Gleick had suffered a heart attack but
Meanwhile, despite major government concessions granted to shipyard and coal mine workers, factory strikes persisted across Poland yesterday—the second day in office for Gierek's successor, Stanislaw Kania—dissident sources said.
Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev conveyed his wishes for a speedy recovery to Gierek, the official Soviet news agency Tass reported from Moscow.
The message, relayed by the Soviet ambassador in Warsaw, was apparently an attempt to quash speculation that Gierek had fallen from grace with the Soviets because of Poland's recent wave of strikes and that he had been removed on orders from Moscow.
Poland's dissident Committee for Social Self-Defense said workers at a number of factories around the country had walked out Friday.
Strikers included the personnel at the Royal Waiheke Castle in the ancient city of Krakow—a top tourist attraction—who walked out demanding higher prices.
The strike also affected bus drivers in Białystok, a tire plant in Lodz, a bridge-building plant in Siedlęcza, a asoeb factory in Kalszil and all small factories.
Striking actors boycott Emmy show
None of the other big-name performers appeared to accept their awards. A small band of lesser-known performers filled in for them, keeping the band afloat.
Aser's sister, "Lou Grant," won three other Emmys. "Soap." "MASH" and "Taxi" dominated the comedy awards.
HOLLYWOOD—The 32nd annual Emmy awards were given last night to performers who were boycoting the ceremony in a labor dispute. Ed Asner, a boycott leader, was chosen best actor in a dramatic series for his portrayal of newspaper editor Lou Grant.
Dick Clark and Steve Allen took over as hosts for the awards ceremony. They replaced Bob Newhart, Michael Landon and Lee Remick, who joined the boycott to dramatize the 8-week-old actors' strike against movie and television producers.
The award for best actress in a dramatic series went to Barbara Bel Geddes of "Dallas."
Allen told the audience that both he and Clark were donating their pay for the appearance to the strike fund. The ceremony had only tapped music because the musicians also were on strike.
Poultry price peaks after chicks fry
Just as residents in the southern half of the United States wipe the last bands of perspiration from their skin this autumn, the heat wave of 1980 was bringing some people to great distress.
The heat and drought that killed millions of chickens in the South this winter have made it difficult for consumers and will mean higher prices on property owners who fall into this category.
The heat wave hit hardest in the states that produce much of the country's poultry—Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama, Texas and Mississippi—damaging crops.
Most poultry officials are reluctant to guess how much more chickens or eggs will cost. But wholesale prices for dressed birds—those ready for sale—are generally lower than the market price.
Most obvious were the millions of chickens that had to be buried rather than sold. Growers in Arkansas, the largest poultry-producing state,
Another million or more chickens died in Georgia and thousands more in other states. The monetary losses were estimated at $17 million in Arkansas, $11.2 million in Georgia and $12.3 million in Mississippi.
search committees from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the School of Business and the School of Architecture and Urban Design were organized by the office of academic affairs last spring -months before the resignations of the three deans became effective.
University combs nation for three new deans
Although the University of Kansas' search for a new chancellor has received most of the publicity, KU also crowds nationwide for three new deans.
SINCE THEN, the committees have advertised in newspapers, including the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and several minority publications.
The only faculty members who cannot be considered for the jobs are the acting deans who were appointed by the college of academic affairs last year, he said.
While the committees search for replacements, the three acting deans must be chief administrators, even if they are not in charge, who will expire in less than one year.
The searches must be widely publicized to comply with Affirmative Action guidelines, Paludan said, but inquiries nominations also will be accepted.
China adopts new plan for economic progress
"It certainly is a challenge," said Dennis Domer, acting dean of the School of Architecture and Urban Design.
THIS YEAR, DOMER is both associate and acting dean of the school, and he also helps to run the department of architectural engineering.
PEKING (UPP)—China has scrapped its 10-year economic development plan, which had emphasized development of heavy industry, in favor of a plan aimed at improving the standard of living of the country's one billion people.
Outgoing Premier Hua Guofeng made the announcement yesterday in his final state-of-the-union address to the nation. He is a member of Congress, China's official legislature.
Hua had resigned as a result of a power play within the Chinese leadership and had handed his job over to economist Zhao Yiang.
Instead, the state council, or cabinet, and had started drawing the outline of an emblem.
THE OLD 1976-1985 plan was launched with much fanfare in 1975 and actively pushed by Hua as late as 1977. But Hua said the plan's targets were to replace it with a more comprehensive construction was too large and comprehensive balance was lacking."
"To revise this outline of the 10-year plan, we must take a more than four years would allow."
Hua said the new plan would have as an element of the living standard of China's people.
"The fundamental aim of the country's modernization is to satisfy the needs of the material and cultural life of the people," he said.
ONCE THE PEOPLE are assured that modernization is for their betterment, "then everybody will work for
him," and "there is another soul,
knowing it is their own," he said.
The new economic plan would emphasize individual initiative and enthusiasm of the people. Private family-run businesses will have a place in the economy as long as they are under the "guidance" of the state, he said.
Also in his speech, Hua warned of the social and economic implications of China's booming population explosion. Hua called for a "one-family, one baby" policy in a crash program for the next several decades.
The new plan has many similarities to measures implemented by Zhao in Sichuan province in the mid 1970s. Zhao brought about a virtual economic revolution and thus created a populous province with his willingness to experiment to increase production.
"If population growth is not controlled, there will be an ultra-high peak, making it virtually impossible for the nation to have social institutions to cope with," he said.
Hua insisted the government would use only "publicity and persuasion," but the National People's Congress this week is expected to formally adopt a new law making it compulsory for couples to practice family planning.
Hua said China's rapid population growth was the major roadblock to its ambitious economic goals and any increase in the standard of living.

"The intellectual tone of the College could set the intellectual tone of the University," he said.
THE COLLEGE search committee, composed of 10 professors and two students, spent months writing the dean's job description, Paludan said. The department submitted the final draft to College department chairmen for approval.
"This is an important operation," Paladan said, "when we choose a dean, or he she will not just be dean of the college, but of everybody in the College."
However, throughout the search the candidates' names will remain contiguous.
Nominations for all three positions are due Oct. 15, and the committees will begin to screen applications Nov. 1. By mid-November, the chairman said, each committee's candidate list would be narrowed to about 10 names.
Once the new deans are selected by the committees, their appointments will become effective July 1, the start of the University's fiscal year.
"We have people who apply for the jobs and don't want everyone in the world to know," Palauan said. "First, because it's nobody's business, and second, because the possibilities of being hired were didn't in the minds of the applicants."

Last July, when the resignations of the chancellor and three deans became effective, KU's administration began to resemble a deck of well-shuffled playing cards. But Paludan said that next year also would be unusual—specifically if all the positions were filled with people from outside the University.
"I think it will be an interesting year when all those new deans gather under a new chancellor," he said.
