Venezuela
looking
for buyers
CARACAS, Venezuela (UPI)
— Venezuela’s nationalized oil
industry today began looking
for buyers for half a million
barrels of oil a day which
international oil companies
rejected as too high-priced to
allow them a profit margin.
The international oil com
panies, whose $4.7 billion assets
were nationalized Thursday in
the biggest peacetime takover
of foreign investment in his
tory, purchased only 1.5 million
barrels a day, half a million
less than the Venezuelan
government 1976 export goal.
The sales contracts formed
part of a negotiated nationaliza
tion which included compensa
tion payments of over $1 billion
for tiie unamortized part of the
companies’ assets as well as
contracts to supply technical

assistance to the state-run
industry.
President Carlos Andres
Perez, in an address to the
nation after he formally nation
alized the industry, world’s
third largest exporter after
Saudi Arabia and Iran, said
Venezuela would not lower its
prices in order to sell more oil.
“The definition has obliged a
sacrifice in volume which
otherwise could be placed on
the market,” Perez said. “A
solid price is more important
than selling a greater quantity
of barrels, ceding to the
pressure of the companies with
a dangerous weakening of the
Organization of the Petroleum
Exporting Countries.”
Venezuela had hoped to reach
two-year sales agreements with
Exxon, Shell, Gulf and other
former concession-holders in
Venezuela to place around two
million barrels per day. This
amount was estimated to cover
75 per cent of Venezuela’s 1976
budget of $7.7 billion. The
companies, however, balked at
the prices set by the govern
ment which averaged around
20-25 cents above their offers.
Instead they committed them
selves to only 1.5 million
barrels daily. The average
price asked by the Venezuelans
is reportedly near sl2 a barrel.
Venezuela has been the single
largest supplier of U.S. oil
imports since 1928, shipping
around 1.2 million barrels per
day of crude and fuel oil to the
U.S. East Coast.

Liberty Bell has home
BY ANTHONY WOOD
PHILADELPHIA (UPI) - For the
first time in 223 years, the Liberty Bell
has a new home.
In a midnight ceremony New Year’s
Eve, the Bell was moved from its home
in Independence Hall to a new $1
million steel and glass pavilion 100
yards away.
City officials built the pavilion
because Independence Hall cannot
handle the flow of tourists expected to
visit Philadelphia during the Bicen
tennial year.
Thousands of persons showed up for
the ceremonies despite heavy rains and
chilling winds.
Many lit candles when the city
extinquished street lights in the vicinity
to dramatize the Bell's 20-minute
journey.
Several workmen towed the Bell
behind a procession of dignitaries and
the 3rd Infantry Regiment Fife and
Drum Corps dressed in Continental
Army uniforms.
The Bell’s original yoke was intact on
its new metal frame, and the pavilion
was opened officially to visitors
following a special service.
The Bell, brought here from London
in 1752 to commemorate
Pennsylvania’s 50th anniversary, has
had a history of misfortune.
It cracked when it was first tested.
The crack was repaired and the Bell
was rung during the first public reading
of the Declaration of Independence on
July 8, 1776.
But on July 8, 1835, the Bell cracked
again while tolling the funeral
procession for Chief Justice John
Marshall. The crack widened when it
tolled for the last time in 1846 on the
anniversary of George Washington’s
birth.
There was further concern about the
move because the Bell had not left
Independence Hall since it was taken
through the streets of Philadelphia
during a Liberty Loan parade in 1917.

Open New Years Day
Morning
after cure
MILWAUKEE (UPI) - New
Year’s revelers have been
searching for a morning after
cure for centuries. Dean Seitz
thinks he has one but the
remedy may be worse than the
ailment.
Seitz, 43, for the last 23 years
has joined other members of
the Milwaukee Polar Bear club
in their annual New Year’s
noon swim in the icy waters of
Lake Michigan. The tempera
ture was 35 degrees and a chill
wind was blowing Thursday but
it didn't daunt Seitz or some 60
other Polar Bears.
“The first year I went, I
really felt sick,’ Seitz said. “I
felt terrible.
“But when I came out, I felt
like a million dollars. Anything
that works that well can’t be
bad.”
Twelve women, a few in
bikinis, also braved the wind
and water to earn their “Bear
Power” certificates.
