Murkowski Seeks Curbs-oil- Arco Warns Against Hike In Oil Taxes FAIRBANKS CAP) If the Legislature increases taxes on oil companies, it will delay or eliminate development of marginal oil fields and "there will be many jobs and income lost," Arco Alaska President Harold Heinze said Tuesday. Speaking to the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce, Heinze said future North Slope jobs depend on a stable tax policy, particularly for development of marginal fields that may contain large amounts of oil but are more difficult to tap. He said North Slope jobs will depend in large part on development of marginal fields after 1986.

"The timing of development of these fields will depend to a large extent on what happens in Juneau during the next legislative session." Heinze said. He said some'state lawmakers are proposing "revenue inhancement," measures affecting the oil industry, measures Heinze called "a fancy name to increasing taxes on the oil industry." Heinze said it is "preposterous" to suggest that you can increase taxes on an industry and encourage it to invest at the same time, according to an Arco pressrelease. "As a producer in Alaska's oil industry," he said, "I can tell you there is no doubt that if the Legislature increases taxes during the next session, further development of Alaska's marginal, fields will be delayed or eliminated, and along with this delay, there will be jobs and income lost." He said lawmakers who want to encourage oil development should "resist further predatory taxation, and maintain a stable tax Rev. Prevo Apologizes For Stunt ANCHORAGE (AP) Baptist preacher Jerry Prevo is apologizing to his congregation for what he calls a joke that backfired when he sent three church members dressed as devils to join an anti-apartheid demonstration. Several hundred people marched outside the Anchorage Baptist Temple in late August to protest remarks by Prevo concerning the racial discrimination policies of South Africa.

Sheffield Given Pens For Use in Revenge By DEAN FOSDICK Associated Press Writer JUNEAU (AP) In the world of politics where the credo is "don't get mad, get even," there's a reminder near Gov. Bill Sheffield's desk that he may have the last laugh yet on nine senators who supported a censure resolution during last summer's impeachment session. Nine red pens the kind Sheffield uses to veto items from the operating and capital budgets are lined up on a wooden stand in his Capitol office. Beneath each veto pen, inscribed in brass, is a senator's name. The pen pals: Sen.

Mitch Abood, R-Anchorage; Senate President Don Bennett, R- Fairbanks. Sen. Jack Coghill, R-Nenana; Sen. Edna DeVries, R-Palmer; Sen. Jan Faiks, R-Anchorage; Sen.

Paul Fischer, Senate Majority Leader Rick Halford.R-Chugiak; Sen. Tim Kelly, R-Anchorage, and Sen. Arliss Sturgulewski, R- Anchorage, "It was a gift from an anonymous doner following 'the thing'," said Sheffield with a chuckle. "We don't say the other word (impeachment) anymore." While the governor sees some humor in the pen set, a couple of the senator's don't. "I would hope that the governor wouldn't use those pens just to serve political ends," Faiks said Tuesday.

"If capital projects are legitimately needed by a community, I would hope it would be his objective to do what's best and not punish people for something he views as inappropriate behavior." "I've always assumed with any governor that there were 20 red pens within reach," said Bennett, who presides over the 20-member Senate. "That's (vetoes) the option of any governor. But in this case, how do you punish any legislator without punishing the 50- or 60,000 people he represents?" The Republican-dominated Senate convened July 15 to consider whether Sheffield, a first-term Democrat, should be impeached for allegedly manipulating a state office lease to favor a Fairbanks building formerly owned in part by Lenny Arsenault, a friend and political supporter. Arsenault contributed $92,000 to help pay off debts from Sheffield's 1982 gubernatorial campaign. Impeachment proceedings were recommended by a state grand jury, which returned no indictments in the case.

But the panel recommended that lawmakers consider whether Sheffield should be ousted from office for his part in the deal. The governor consistently denied any wrongdoing. And he contends the lease was designed to save the state money. The Senate Rules Committee, which conducted 11 days of hearings into the matter, scrapped a motion to impeach Sheffield. The panel in its report said the Senate lacked the needed 14 of 20 votes necessary to impeach.

And it said testimony had failed to turn up "clear and convincing" the governor had committed an impeachable offense. The senators whose names appear on the pen set tried but failed to block an amendment that watered down what had amounted to a censure resolution. Sorry We Missed Your Call! But we're back from vacation, all charged up with what we learned from our suppliers about what's new in custom upholstery and furniture. So Call Us Again! Foreign nations whose fishermen are caught taking salmon illegally in North Pacific waters should lose their Alaska bottomfish allocations- Sen. Frank Murkowski said during testimony before the Senate Commerce Committee.

During the meeting Murkowski said this severe restriction would be' 'a good last resort" make countries, like Japan, adhere to international fishing regulations. He also noted his concern that there are more than miles of driftnet set every night on the high seas killing our -marine mammals, fish and seabirds. According to Murkowski, the U.S. delegation the.International North Pacific Fisheries Commission has been unsuccessful in its past two bilateral fishing'- negotiation meetings with Japan on illegal Japanese salmon interception. third meeting is scheduled later this month.

John representing the Yukon-Kuskokwim River Delta, testified there was no directed commercial harvest of chum salmon on the Kuskowkim River this year because the number of fish that returned to spawn Was dangerously low, stated, the Japanese are stealing food from the mouths of our Subsistence "fishermen and. cash from fhe pockets of our commercial Jishermen," he said. raising organizers were upset- at what they saw as an effort to discredit their demonstration. And Prevo acknowledged some church members were offended when he admitted last week he knew about and approved of the stunt. "Have you ever tried to pull a joke and have it backfire?" Prevo asked in a letter sent Oct.

10 to 2,000 church members and people on the church mailing list. "Maybe I should not have approved it, but sometimes the only way a person can rationally bear up under the opposition and criticism I get is to laugh about it or to, try to have some fun while it.is going on," Prevo wrote. "When I approved the devils, I thought it would be funny. It was to some, but not to others. I am sorry it was offensive to some." Prevo said Tuesday the letter was meant to combat "an underlying insinuation that there was a great deception portrayed here, which I can understand, but don't agree with.

"If we wanted to deceive, I could have sent out 200 people dressed like them (protestors); I could have sent 500,1,000 supporting In his letter, Prevo reminded his congregation that other ministers have used people in devils' costumes to remind the faithful that Satan wants them to stray.
