The Libyans said their new
prices would be valid until
June 30, about a month after

sources said.
But the Libyan increase
was "somewhat more than
we anticipated." and pro-
bably was triggered by the
recent cessation of nearly 1
million barrels a day of Iraqi
oil shipments through
pipelines to Mediterranean
Sea ports, one source said.
The war between Iran and
Iraq has cut off daily exports
of nearly 4 million barrels of
oil — about 7 percent of
Western oil needs — from the

WASHINGTON (AP) -
The Carter administration,
vowing not to pay a penny
before all 52 hostages are
freed, is readying a formal
reply to Iran's latest
blueprint for releasing its
American captives.
Assistant Secretary of
State Harold H. Saunders, a
key member of the U.S.
negotiating team, said Mon-
day night the message pro-
bably would be turned over to
Algerian go-betweens at a
windup session of talks here
today.

Libya. Algeria and Nigeria
supply 12 percent of
America's oil and produce
high-quality crudes that are
prized for their high yields of
gasoline.
Indonesia told buyers it
would raise official oil prices,
but would reduce the sur-
charges it levies on 15 to 20
percent of its output. "The
net of all those factors was
about a $3-a-barrel increase"
to about $36, said a source.
The sources said Indonesia
raised prices by between
$3.50 and $3.80 a barrel,
depending on grade. Its new
surcharges were set at 75
cents to $1.50 a barrel — down
from $2.25 to $4.10.

donesia's most popular grade

But another official, who
asked not to be identified,
said the Tehran regime could
get several billion dollars in
assets immediately if the
hostages are released.
The official said unfrozen
Iranian assets could be put in-
to an escrow account under a
neutral country’s control.
Iran would receive the money
simultaneous with the freeing
of the hostages, now in their
423rd day of captivity.

Iran is insisting the money
be deposited in the Algerian
Central Bank as a guarantee
that Iranian assets held in
western banks before the U.S.
Embassy takeover on Nov. 4,
1979, will be returned.
President Carter has called
those terms unreasonable
and said they are beyond his
authority to implement.
Vice President Walter F.
Mondale said Monday he
thought the Iranians might be
marking time in hopes of
discovering where President-
elect Ronald Reagan stands
on the issue. Speaking with
reporters in Vail, Colo.,
where he was skiing. Mon-
dale said he does not foresee
any quick change in the situa-
tion.
Reagan himself said Mon-
day he had no regrets about
his characterization of the
Iranian captors a day earlier
as "barbarians." The remark
was denounced by the
speaker of Iran's Parliament,
Hashemi Rafsanjani.
“What have they got to be
angry about?” Reagan asked
reporters in I*os Angeles.
“They’re the ones who did the
kidnapping.”
The purpose of the
Washington talks with the
Algerians is to try to keep the
negotiations alive, even
though there is little hope of
progress during the closing
weeks of the Carter ad-
ministration.
“We will not abandon the
process that we have been
engaging in to secure the
hostages' release," Trattner
said. “We will keep the
negotiating channel open."

Bonilla told Bush he
recognized "sacrifices would
be required of all citizens and
we are prepared to make
some sacrifices." However,
he added, the sole burden
should not be placed on the

Bush said he

ministration's desire to work
with LULAC, the nation's
largest and oldest Hispanic
organization. However, he
added, the goals that got

An out-of-town newsman finally took a look at Hereford and
came up with a decent story-one that captures some of the
important factors that make hustlin' Hereford a unique com-
munity in the Panhandle of Texas.
The article is found in the January issue of “Texas
Business" magazine and the author is William G. Smith.
The article leads off with an overview of what is happening
in Amarillo and how city leaders are trying to change the ci-
ty’s image. Then it adds a couple of pages on Hereford and
Deaf Smith County.
"Just when one thinks he has the High Plains all figured
out and neatly stereotyped as one vast billiard table-its peo-
ple one nicely homogeneous mass of like-thinking,

I pop 15,006) to dash all designs of Panhandle pigeonholing,"
writes Smith.
Deaf Smith is the agricultural heart of the Texas High
Plains, leading the Panhandle in production of cattle, wheat,
grain sorghum and many vegetables whose combined value
exceeds $200 million annually. Farmers there wear many
hats, often becoming vegetable growers, wheat farmers and
cattle ranches on the same plot of ground.”

Bank, as saying that “the average farmer around here is far-

Gasoline May Rise 8C Gallon
Due to Price Hike by OPEC
By WILLIAM GLASGALL
AP Business Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -
Americans will be paying an
estimated 8 cents more for
every gallon of gasoline or
heating oil due to another
round of price increases from
members of the Organization
of Petroleum Exporting
Countries.
Libya. Indonesia and
Venezuela, which together
supply 8 percent of U.S. oil
needs, on Monday announced
price increases of as much as
$4 a barrel.
The current round of in-
creases was touched off Dec.
15 when Saudi Arabia raised
its oil price from $30 to $32 a
barrel. OPEC, which pro-
vides 26 percent of the oil us-
ed in the United States, decid-
ed a day later to let its 13
members raise prices an
average of about 10 percent.
Analysts predict that the
Jan. 1 increases by cartel
members and others could
boost U.S. gasoline and
heating oil prices as much as
8 cents a gallon.
Industry sources, who ask-
ed not to be identified, said
Libya increased its price for
a 42-gallon barrel of oil from
$37 to the new OPEC ceiling
price of $41. The move was
expected to be matched by
Algeria and Nigeria, which
