LADY'S Sportsman's Energy World By JERRY R.

WILSON TULSA, Okla. (UPI) The United States may be totally independent of Arab oil by the year 2015. Unfortunately, so will everyone else because statistically that will be the year the last barrel of oil is pumped from the last well on earth. Of course, there will be no "last barrel" as such in 2015 because the world's oil fields cannot continue to produce at current levels much longer. The 1975 International Petroleum Encyclopedia, updated and published annually by the Petroleum Publishing sets proven world reserves the oil known for a fact to be present and recoverable by current technology at about 103 billion metric tons.

The current world annual consumption rate is approximately 2.8 billion tons. The IPE, which gathers the best available estimates from government and industry sources throughout the world, shows the situation is even worse for domestic wells. U.S. reserves, including a middle ground estimate of 15 billion barrels in Alaska's Prudhoe Bay, stand at 6.8 billion metric tons, while annual production is 434.4 million metric tons. At that rate, U.S.

reserves would be exhausted in about 15 years. While consumption in much of the Western world has slowly declined under higher price levels, consumption in the developing nations and the communist bloc has increased at a nearly equivalent level. The United States and Western Europe are not likely to decrease much further, but increases in Africa, Latin America and Asia can be expected to continue as their level of technology and standard of living rise. Therefore, the answer to this nation's energy problems and those of the rest of the world do not lie in increased production from already depleting reserves. Industry sources say that would only hasten the final day of reckoning.

And the solution certainly is not a return to the days of "cheap" oil which made shortsighted consumption so easy. Although much of the world still relies heavily on other fuel sources, principally solid fuels (coal and wood) and natural gas. the prospects there also are bleak. The world supply of coal is massive and relatively untapped, but natural gas reserves, at current consumption rates, will be exhausted in about 50 years. Water-generated power supplies only 1.9 per cent of the world's energy, and nuclear power, hailed as the power source of the future, provides only .4 per cent in the current nuclear age.

It is unlikely either will be able to take over the role now played by petroleum in the short time remaining. And time is short because the decreasing productivity of world oil fields could cause 3 disastrous energy shortage before the end of this century, according to industry sources. Worldwide inflation has added additional problems, delaying development of such exotic alternate energy sources as geothermal and solar. With the time lag from theory to prototype to implementation to dependence, some experts say it already may be too late for these methods to be in place and providing significant quantities of energy before the problem becomes acute. Development of one possible alternate coal liquefaction is about to begin.

Simply put, coal liquefaction is a process converting one ton of coal into three barrels of high-quality synthetic crude oil. Three major research projects in this area are now underway, but it will be at least five years before the process can be proven with a test plant. Although proponents are forecasting several full-scale plants producing up to 100.000 barrels of oil a day, it will be several years before such plants would be operational providing the process is economically feasible. If it is, America's estimated 400 billion tons of coal would provide enough oil to supply the nation's current needs for about 200 years. Business Today By LeROY POPE I'PI Business Writer NEW YORK (UPI) A species of con man thought extinct a decade back has cropped up again to swindle businessmen.

He is the hustler of shoddy, off-brand or used-up office equipment, peddled to unwary customers at inflated prices as pretended bargains. "These hustlers usually get away with their swindles because of human inertia or because the victim is ashamed to admit he has been had," said a spokesman for Purchasing World magazine, which reported resurgence of the old swindle. The con man does not approach the victim company's regular purchasing manager. He picks on some other executive he suspects of being gullible enough to bite at an apparent bargain. He drops the name of another executive "who suggested I call you." A telephone call to the owner of the dropped name would stop the swindle cold in most cases.

Then the hustler comes up with a fanciful but plausible excuse for offering the bargain. "A widow is liquidating her husband's business a batch of office supplies has been bought for a song from an Army depot a customer in your area canceled a big order and we're stuck with this lot or I just accepted a position with the United Nations and I've got to liquidate quickly." The gullible executive buys without even getting a firm commitment on the price. When the merchandise arrives it is shockingly inferior ami the bill much higher than expected.

He offers the businessman a fancy color TV set or an expensive cartridge music player as a bribe to get a bigger order. Acceptance of such a bribe also may insure the executive will keep his mouth shut when the swindle becomes apparent. The magazine said the con artists are most numerous on the west coast this time.

When the racket was exposed a decade back it was worked mainly in the eastern states. Once a company has been cheated not much can be done, the magazine said, except report it to the postal authorities if the mails were used by the hustler and to local authorities who may be gathering information from other victims of the same con man or his associates. The quick way to determine whether someone is making a bona fide offer of distress merchandise at a bargain or is trying to work a ripoff is to look for tour signs: dropping of another executive's name. A seemingly reasonable but vaguely specified reason for being able to offer good merchandise cheaply. The caller says he is on the road and can't give a phone number where he can be readied.

asked for a formal price quotation in advance, the caller says he has to check back with the seller. That usually is (he last the intended victim hears from him.
