Energy Plan
Is Hit Again
By Texan
SANTA FE, N.M. (API -
Texas Railroad Commissioner
Jim C. Langdon told the Inter-
state Oil Compact Commission
today that President Carter's
program not only will hurt
energy producing states “but
would alter the social, econom-
ic and political structure of the
nation.”
Langdon, who is retiring Dec.
31 after more than 14 years on
the Texas oil and gas regu-
. latory body, told con-
servationist and regulators
from more than 30 states that
the Carter program purports to
offer consumer relief but would
create higher prices by added
federal tax burden, selective
. rebates and ever increasing
energy shortages.
“Such energy policies will not
only adversely affect today's
consumers of energy - this
winter and the next - but will
affect the next generation of
consumers and their children,”
he predicted.
He warned the states to gird
for increasing efforts by the
fedeyal government to pre-empt
their'historical authority over
oil, gas and other natural re-
sources within their borders.
“If the states are to salvage
any rights of - self-determina-
tion, those efforts must be op-
posed and combated at every
step,” he said.
HOT STUFF might be a good name for this school of exterior decoration. A house in
Batya, Hungary, is festooned with strings of peppers following a bountiful harvest.
The peppers, after processing, are one of Hungary’s top-earning exports, ending up
on tables through out the world as paprika. •

"Perspectives on Human

Human Rights Day was es-

of Human Rights at the founding
of the UN. The declaration
acknowledges the in-
terdependence of nations and
attempts to define the essential
Human rights to be recognized
by all governments.
lively exchange between newly
elected mayors at the Congress
of Cities reveals a deep division
of opinion that could haunt
President Carter in his effort to
mold a national urban policy.
Carter’s-' still-evolving urban
program is based partly on his
belief that because federal dol-
lars-are scarce, they must be
given to the worst-off cities to
have maximum impact.
If mayors do not offer wide-
pport of this ap-
proach, it will be difficult for
Carter to persuade Congress to
channel most urban aid to dis-
tressed cities. Most mayors at-
tending the annual meeting of
the National League of Cities
apparently favor the approach.
