II PM I'll ItEY DEFENDS
VICE-PRESIDENCY
Senator Hubert Humphrey
(Minn.) “ . . .An article hy Dr.
Arthur Srhlesinger on the Vice-
Presidency (in Atlantic Month-
ly) concluded that, ‘There is
no escape, it seems to me, from
the conclusion that the vice
presidency is not only a mean-
ingless but a hopeless office.’
“In my article (in the At-
lantic Monthly) I concluded
that Dr. Srhlesinger was incor-
rect and that the Vice-Presiden-
cy is necessary.
“M.y reasons for this conclu-
sion are as follows:
“First, the Vice-Presidency
p rovl d e s an unencumbered
clear-cut method of succession
in the case the President is dis-
abled, cannot perform his du
ties or dies in office.
“Second, the Vice-President
is a nationally elected officer.
And, in being elected rather
than appointed, his indepen-
dence from the Congress and
others who might be involved
in another type of selection is
preserved.
“Third, under our present sy-
stem, tlie Vice-President is no-
minated at the same conven-
tion as the President, by the
same delegates as the President,
and conducts his campaign un-
der the same party auspices as
the President. All of this tends
to assure that the successor is
in close harmony with the par-
ty .. .

ROOTS COMMENT
It's apparent that Dr. Sehle-

Tower.”
Rep. Herman Adams
Disappointed With
Convention Result
Austin — The people of Tex-
as, in a constitutional amend-
ment in 1672, authorized the
State Legislature to rewrite the
State Constitution. The Con-
vention convened Jan. 8, 1974,
with high aspirations of writ-
ing a state charter which would
update and modernize the gov-
ernmental process in Texas.
After six months of committee
hearings and debate on the
floor of the Convention, a new
document was produced. The
final phase of the Convention
called for a two-thirds ratifi-
cation before the proposed con-
stitution could be submitted to
the people of Texas to either
accept or reject.
“I vigorously supported con
stitutional resolutions as they
were presented to the Conven-
tion during the last weeks of
debate. I could not, in good
Jy SENATOR WALTER I
MONDALE
Democratic Senator,
Minnesota
Washington, June 20 (IPI)
Over the past few weeks the
economic power of the oil in-
dustry was again dramatically
demonstrated. The gusher of
first quarter profits for 1974
revealed the full extent to
which the major oil companies
of this country have profited at
the expense of the average con-
sumer.
For the full year, oil profits
could rise by 5 to 10 billion
dollars over the nearly 10 bil-
lion dollars In profits achieved
in 1973. Profits of this magni-
tude are but another Indication
of the benefits of monopoly
over the single most important
commodity in our economy.
There’s little question about
the dominance of a few large
companies in the oil industry.
In fact, the 20 largest oil com-
panies own 94 percent of the
domestic crude oil reserves, 80
percent Of the refining capa-
city, 79 percent of the gasoline
marketing in the country.
These companies are continu
ing to tighten, their grip on the
industry. And unless quick ac-
tion is taken, competition will
be virtually eliminated. And
the major companies will be in
an oven more advantageous po
sitlon to price their products
without the restraining force of
free competition.
Today Congress and the Exe-
cutive Branch are studying
what steps to take to increase
competition in the oil industry.
Included in this study is the
entire question of divestiture—
whether the large oil companies
which are integrated from well-
head to gas pump—should be
broken up.
Divestiture is a very complex
question and must be approach
ed with caution. It will take
years before any legislative or
administrative action can be
fully accomplished. And in the
meantime, the largest compa-
nies in the industry will con-
tinue to expand their dominion
in this vital commodity.
I, therefore, believe that
there should be at the very
least a moratorium on the ac-
quisition of refineries, pipe
lines and gasoline marketing
outlets by the largest compa
nies in the country.
A moratorium would pre
serve the present situation
while Congress and the Execu
tive Branch reach a decision on
how to best restore competi-
tion.
Most importantly, a mora
torium would prevent the con-
tinued spread of the major oil
companies into newly profit-
able areas such as company
owned and operated gasoline
marketing outlets which are
threatening to replace the thou-
sands of independently owned
and leased outlets which now
provide competition in the in-
dustry.
American consumers are now
paying billions of dollars every
year because of monopoly con-
trol in the oil industry. Unless
wo stop the every growing
domination by a few large com
panies, we will never have an
oil industry that serves the pub
lie interest as well as private
profit.
