Gas misconduct alleged
WASHINGTON—Texaco is withholding from production over 500 billion cubic feet of natural gas in two fields off the coast of Louisiana that could have been tapped this winter to ease severe gas shortages, congressional investigators said yesterday.
Texaco didn't attempt to pump this gas into interstate pipelines because of a "deny to maximize its profits," said John Railway, who headed the probe by pointing out that Texaco had a policy.
the House Oversight and investigations subcommittee. Texaco denied that it is withholding gas from consumers and said the allegations were "warmed-over versions of similar misleading charges made several days ago in a study submitted to Interior Secretary Cecil Andrus."
Court to review admissions
WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court said yesterday it would decide if special school admissions programs that benefit blacks and other minority students illegally discriminate against whites.

The justices voted without comment to review a decision by the California Supreme Court that such programs foster a type of reverse discrimination and violate the rights of whites to be treated equally under the law.
Carter seeks budget increase
WASHINGTON - President Carter asked Congress yesterday to increase 1978 budget spending by $19.4 billion more than former President Gerald Ford proposed, and it appeared from the initial reaction that most lawmakers approved.
Carter asked Congress to approve total federal spending in 1978 of $454.4 billion, up from the $440 billion that Ford had recommended three days before leaving office.
office.
That would hike the 1978 budget deficit to $57.7 billion, $10 billion more than Ford worked.
Carter's plan to cut defense spending by $257 million in 1978 and by $2.7 billion in future years was called "not a very radical one" by Rep. George Mahon, D-Texas., chairman of the House appropriations subcommittee.

Amin ousts Christian servicemen
DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania (UPI)- President Idi Adi of Uganda has begun a purge of thousands of predominantly Christian Langi and Achole tribesmen in the army, air force, police and prison service, refugees who fled Uganda said yesterday.
The refugees said thousands of the tribesmen had been massacred and hundreds of students of those tribes arrested in Kampala and that Amin was replacing the militants in the armed forces with Moslems and Suddanee loyal to the president.
Amin is a Moalman who often defends his actions by saying he has received inward guidance.
The refugees said many prominent Ugandans had been arrested and were being detained.
Among those believed murdered are four prominent professors.
There are approximately 600,000 Lani and 400,000 Alohue in Uganda. Their home is the Nairobi airport.
Citizens group criticizes city's Bowersock approval
By JOHN MCANULTY
Staff Renorter
At last night's Lawrence City Commission meeting, the Lawrence Citizens Advisory Council (CAC) criticized the commission for its approval of the Bowersock proposal and charged that the commission was unresponsive to the group's recommendations.
one advisory council comprises Lawrence citizens appointed by the commission to advise it on selected issues. Jack Cohen was appointed in 1983, even though the commission was doing a good job in general, it had acted hastily in approving the Bowersock proposal, which enable the county to acquire land at the town center and 4th streets along the Kansas River.
HARRI SAIID the commission had asked the group to study the Bowersock proposal but hadn't waited for the group to make any recommendations.
Commissioner Donald Binns suggested that CAC be required to make its recommendations within a specific amount of time in the future. Binns criticized the group for not consulting a city sub-site and also studying the Bowersock proposal.
Harris said CAC thought that too many questions remained unanswered in the Bowersock proposal and that the company had acquired all the Bowersock land.
manger Fred Pence said that the city had studied Bowersock four years and that the commission passed the proposal because it thought it had made the best deal possible.
Commissioner Carl Mibeck agreed with Harris that the commission should have conferred with CAC on the matter and said that in the future he would try to be sure the commission didn't act on an issue before the council could give its recommendations.
Harris said that the commission, in the eyes of most of the council members, was instructed to present recommendations, and that communication between the commission and the public also had room for improvement. He said many residents knew who the Lawrence city manager was.
ANOTHER member of the council,
William Lemenay, 2349 Murphy Drive,
said an average citizen was afraid to talk to commissioners and afraid to attend commission meetings because he was afraid the commission would "step on his neck."
Commissioner Argeraisme said she thought the present commission had generated public interest and pointed out that many homes had bad, full houses in the past two years.
TO TRY TO improve communication,
Commissioner Barkley Clark motioned that a record be put on file listing complaints
that were not received, and which would be available to the public. The
commission unanimously approved the motion.
In other action, Tom Groene, president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, announced that the chamber had exceeded its goal of $55,000 in the Lawrence airport business. He presented a ceremonial check to the commissioners for $35,001.
The $35,001 will go to buy 320 acres adjacent to the present airport. The Kansas University Endowment Association is selling the land to the city for $350,000, and the Federal Aviation Administration is providing $315,000 of the amount.
Troene said the remaining $10,75 from the drive will be divided among the donors.
