EXXON HOLDING PRICES
UP "
The high price of energy
caused by the control of oil
continue to fuel inflation and
increase unemployment for the
black masses. The strangle hold
on sources of energy exercised
by oil companies such ; as
Exxon Corporation cause em
ployment to escalate along
with their profits. ; J L
Black unemployment and
big oil profits have gone hand
in hand since 1973. U. $. de
mand for energy is growing, ex
pected to be 18 million barrels
of oil per day next year. The
domestic production estimated
at slightly less than 10 million
BD must come from a foreign
source we are told by spokes
men fo the American Petro
leum Institute.
The OPEC nations while
accounting for only an esti
mated nine per cent of US
foreign oil imported, still sets
the world crude oil prices. The
oil industry people would have
you believe that higher priced
foreign oil is the only way of
the future. ; w : .
If this is the case, then in
flation, higher energy cost is
going to continue in to the
future. The oil companies do
not wish to look for more oil
in this country at the present
price levels. Jhe greedy gutters
want more money from you
and me before they will con
descend to pump out more
oil.; ' :v v, I
An oil divestiture bill
would force a company , like
Exxon Corporation to operate
in only one area like produc
tion and not marketing, elimin
ating the controlling of oil
from wells to pump with its
ensuing higher prices.
Exxon Corporation (for
merly Standard Oil of New
Jersey) is the leading factor in
the petroleum industry. In
both the U. S. and .the total
non-Communist world, Exxon
ranks as the largest refiner and
marketer of crude oil. At 1975
yearrend, gross proved crude
oil and natural gas liquids re
serves (including North Slope
Alaska) were estimated 4,716,
000,000 barrels in the U. S.
. The horizontal divestiture
bill of the last Congress should
be resubmitted, by the Con
gressional Black Caucas in the
new 95th Congress." Engineer
ing schools have . established
programs to recruit, and re-

By 1982, engineering schools

BOWDOIN RUSSWURM LECTURES
BRUNSWICK, ME. f Carol B. Stokes, former Mayor of
. Cleveland will be the first speaker in Bowdoin College! newh,

. Stokes, a news commentator for WNBC-TV in New York

be entitled "Up-date: Jimmy Carter and Black America",
' . The new Bowdoin lecture series, designed to explore the
legacy and status of the Black American, is named for the first
" Black graduate of Bowdoin. Russwurm, who graduated in 1826 i
as one of the first two Black persons in America to receive a t

first black newspaper in the United States, and later served as
the first Black governor of the Maryland Colony in Liberia.
Stokes was the first black elected to head a major United .

of a changing America.
tion. Instead of concentrating
on controlling crude oil from

put people to work finding
' more oil in this country.
The proven crude oil re-:
serves of big oil will not last

bill neither would the Exxon's
be hoarding for higher prices.
The divestiture, bid will insure
that a company only sell its
supply to a dealer who will
buy from the lowest cost pro
ducer. Competition and more ;
oil will cause lower prices for
the consumer. Blacks and other '
poor people stand to gain if
big oil is broken up.(NNPA).
