Threats to Arabs pack little punch
University Daily Kansan
From the Associated Press
WASHINGTON-The United States has little ammunition to back up the Ford administration's tough talk concerning a new oil crisis.
President Ford, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Treasury Secretary William E. Simon in the past week have warned of a disastrous international economic disruption if the price of Arab oil isn't lowered.
Ford and Kissinger, particularly, indicated that the Western industrialized nations would sit placially by while the oil companies stimulated more and the oil U.S. currency.
Administration sources have outlined several possibilities under consideration for meeting the oil threat, ranging from a nuclear attack in states to a last-resort use of military force.
The first step was started last week in Brussels, when 12 nations agreed tentatively on a coordination plan to reduce the number of crises and crisis while sharing the available supply.
discussions with administration and diplomatic sources indicate that the U.S. strategy most likely be followed is a very complicated, long-range solution that requires nearly unprecedented international cooperation.

The poll was conducted Sept. 16-22 and is based on 1,000 telephone interviews with potential voters living in 86 Kansas communities and surrounding areas.
In his final instructions to the jury, Theis said that "some person or persons unknown" had attempted to wreck the trial's orderly progress. He cited an indictment of 20 people testifying in the case attempted to jump into the jury box but was subdued by deities.
The eight-week trial, which was in terrupted at the start by courtroom scuffles between the inmates and U.S. marshals' deputies, saw 96 witnesses testify.
Numerous delays marked the proceedings, including postponements because penitentiary inmates called to testify refused to take the stand.
Jasper was found guilty of three lesser assault offenses but was acquitted on charges of assault with intent to murder Teare and another assault count.
In addition to the riot charge, Evans was convicted on three counts of assault with intent to murder prison guards Bobby R. Goldean and E.勒 Tereale and Dale A. Groover.
The inmates also charged that racism was working against them in the trial. The four defendants are black and the jury was all white.
The jury's verdict was read without incident and the four inmates were returned to the Sedgwick County courthouse, where they will be held until the Oct. 7 hearing.
a reported meeting Kissinger and Simon will hold at Camp David with the foreign and finance ministers of Japan, Great Britain, West Germany and France.
The two said the trial violated their civil rights and they labeled the trial a railroad case.
Judge Theis questioned jurors before the trial began on whether their judgment would be affected by the inmates' race? He asked Courtright and Jasper to participate in the trial.
The inmates, Odell Bennett, Alf Hill Jr., Jessie Lee Evans and Alfred J. Jasper, were charged with inciting a July 31, 1973, riot at the Federal prison. All but Bennett also were charged with and convicted of assaulting prison personnel.
Oct. 7 as the date for motions for new trial, and if denied, sentencing will follow.
A prison guard, Wayne Selle, was killed in the riot, but charges of murder against the four in connection with the death had been dropped from the case.
The judge also instructed the jury before their deliberations began that penal reform and prisoners' rights were not issues in the case. The judge said he would inject the issues into the proceedings.
Bennett and Jasper had refused to participate in the trial and viewed most of the proceedings on closed-circuit television in the federal courthouse.
Kissinger is said to have arranged the meeting in secrecy to study ways to offset the Arabs' economic power and encourage a common front.
Several other options have been considered but were ruled out, U.S. officials say, who have long been taking to the use of force against the oil produces a move wouldn't be acceptable diplomatically and there is doubt that an invasion or similar action would be effected.
A more likely weapon, providing that the Arabs don't give way to political pressure, would be a Western move to limit the usability of currency.
Other possibilities include raising the price of U.S. arms and industrial products sold to the Arabs. However, one State Department official said this wouldn't stop them from raising the price of oil again and working an even more inflationary spiral.
The problem in this would be an accompanying shock to non-Arab countries holding Western currency, but some State economists think this could be overcome.
The theory is that if all the big oil users cut their demand, the Arabs will have no other major market and will be forced to reduce prices.
These countries have backed the Armenians against Israel, but U.S. officials think that support may have weakened because the poorer nations have been hardest hit by the soaring cost of oil and petroleum-based products.
Net relying on this hoped-for weakening, the United States has pledged to continue and even increase its supplies of food to gain from the lesser-developed countries.
Running parallel to this effort, U.S. officials say, will be a move to gain the support of lesser-developed nations, including other members of the so-called third world.
