DENVER Representatives of the
60,000-member Oil, Chemical and Atomic
Workers union sought Thursday to win a
new contract agreement and avert selective
strikes Friday against some of the nation's
major oil companies.
Union President A.F. Grospiron said he
would make the strike decision, but that if
the strike were called it would not involve a
nationwide walkout.
"Nobody wants a striked Grospiron said.
Grospiron, apparently hoping for a sign
by local union negotiators throughout the
country that producers would accept
OCAW's latest offer, said a strike would
have no immediate effect on the nation's
gasoline supplies.
Grospiron said he had information that
the country's storage tanks are brimful. He
also said most of the nation's refineries are
highly automated and could be run for a time
by skeleton staffs of management personnel.
Independent and major producers whose
400 local contracts with OCAW expired at
midnight Tuesday, failed to respond
Wednesday to a union compromise lowering
requested hourly pay hikes in a new three
year contract from $1.50 to SI. 20.
The union struck for higher wages two
years ago. - -

walkouts when their contracts expired, said
Senate studies closest
election in its history
by George Gudauskas
United Press International
WASHINGTON Republican Louis C.
Wyman, two-vote winner in the closest
Senate race in history, said Thursday he
considers himself entitled to the seat from
New Hampshire but would welcome a runoff
with Democrat John A. Durkin.
Wyman presented his side of thedispute to
the Senate's subcommittee on elections,
which earlier heard Durkin urge that both
men stand aside and let the full Senate decide
which of them should seated in the new
Congress which convenes Tuesday.
In,, Concord,-; meantime. Republicans in
the state Senate pushed legislation calling for
a runoff vote in February to settle the race
which Wyman won, lost, then won again on
a recount of the Nov. 5 ballots.
The New Hampshire Republicans sought
to change a law under which the governor is
empowered to fill a vacancy thus
providing for a new election should the
Senate declare neither man entitled to the
seat.
On the basis of the new count, the state
certified Wyman for the seat. But Wyman,
apparently fearing the predominantly
Democratic Senate might overturn the result
and seat Durkin, has pressed for a new
election.
Durkin. asking that the Senate decide the
issue, told the elections subcommittee as the

they expected no immediate problems if a
strike were called.
"We have staff people standing by ready
to take over facilities," said a spokesman for
a Shell Oil refinery and chemical plant in
Deer Park, Tex. "We don't anticipate any '
problems."
Grospiron said wildcat strikes of 6,600
workers at Gulf and Texaco refineries at
Port Arthur. Tex., and 900 workers at
Standard Oil's plant in El Segundo, Calif.,
were the result of local grievances and he
would not interfere by urging the men return
to the job.

Durkin, a former state insurance
commissioner, said that Senate examination
of as few as 50 of 400 ballots he is disputing
could decide the issue in his favor.
Wyman said he felt there should be a new
election, and added, I sincerely believe my
certificate of election entitles me to be
seated , . . until the runoff is completed.
Wyman, a former five-term House
member from New Hampshire, opposed
Durkin's proposal that the subcommittee
examine protested ballots involved in the
recount, saying the only issue is whether due
process in the sovereign state of New'
Hampshire will be overridden.
The first count of New Hampshire ballots
showed Wyman the winner by 355 votes. A
recount of the nearly 222,000 ballots gave
Durkin a 10-point edge. But the state Ballot
Law Commission, dominated by
Republicans, re-examined the ballots and
declared Wyman the winner by two votes.

WASHINGTON Rep. Al UUman. to
be the next chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee, predicted Thursday his
panel will approve by March 1 a multi-billion-dollar
tax cut for low and middle
income groups.
Ullman would not give his own preference
for the size of the cut, saying only that it
would fall between $5 billion and $30 billion.
confident that he will represent America
with the highest distinction, Ford said in a
White House statement.
Richardson, who held two other Cabinet
posts in the Nixon administration, stepped
down as head of the Justice Department in
October, 1973, rather than obey Nixon's
order to fire Watergate Special Prosecutor
Archibald Cox. The incident became known
as the "Saturday Night Massacre.
White House announcements of
.diplomatic appointments usually are cut and
dried, but Ford took occasion to highly
praise Richardson, who also served as
secretary of defense and of health, education
and welfare, as well as undersecretary of
state.
Richardson's career "has been one of
extraordinary achievement. I have the
highest regard for him, for his intelligence
and for his total commitment to public
service, the President said. ,
Richardson's appointment had been
expected and is subject to Senate approval.
If confirmed, he1 will succeed Walter
Annenberg. a Philadelphia and Nixon
confidant.
The post of U.S. ambassador to the Court
of St. James is one of the most prestigious in
the Foreign Service, but because of outside
expenses it often has gone to wealthy party
contributors rather than to first-line career
diplomats.
That was the case with Annenberg, who
published a Philadelphia newspaper, a
racing . form and TV Guide and whose
enormous Palm Springs, California estate
and private golf course have served as a
Nixon retreat.
" Richardson's wealth does not come close
to that of his predecessor.

depending on how much of the lost revenue
can be madecp through other tax increases.
"If we act quickly the cut would not have
to be as large as it would be if we delayed.
What is needed on an emergency basis is to
get more money to people who will spend it,
put it back into the economy and build it
up," said UUman.
The Oregon Democrat told reporters that
after the new Congress convenes Tuesday,"!
will recommend that our committee go into
immediate consideration of an emergency
tax bill with relief for low and middle income
groups."
Firm figures to define low and middle
income groups depend on a vast array of
factors but the committee has generally

Isuffers violence!
by James R- Dorsey
United Press International
BOSTON Fifteen students were
arrested Thursday at Hyde Park High
School after a series of racial scuffles closed
the school and ended an uneasy truce
between black and white students that had
existed since before Christmas.
Police said 14 black students and a white
student were arrested and charged with
disorderly conduct.
Officials said the students fought among
themselves and with police in the hallways
and some fights were reported in classrooms.
When some students tried to wrestle
handguns out of the holsters of police the
officers inside the school were told to carry
their weapons in their pockets.
The violence caused officials to order the
school closed for the day. Buses returned to
Hyde Park to take the children home.
A newsman from radio station WEEI was
struck by a bottle thrown from a third floor
window but was not seriously injured. I
Hyde Park High, which had been closed
sporadically because of violence, had
reopened on schedule Jan. 2 after the
Christmas vacation.
Later in the day after a lengthy meeting
among police and school department
officials and Hyde Park Headmaster John
Best, the school board ordered the school
reopened Friday. A school department
spokesman said atfded precautibrfs vMifht

considered low income, the poverty level, as
$5,450 for a four-member family, and
$15,000 to $25,000 for middle income.
He said the cut would include relief for
corporations through an enlargment of the
investment tax credit. That credit now
allows a business to deduct from taxes owed
7 per cent of its investment in certain
equipment
Additionally, said UUman, the measure
would include an end to the oil depletion
allowance which now provides oil producers
with a large deduction in their taxes. He said
if controversy over ending the depletion
allowance threatens to stall the emergency
bill, the provision would be dropped and
dealt with later in a separate measure.
