Carter commented on the oil spill Wednesday, telling a questioner at a town meeting in Burlington, Iowa, that the United States cannot compel Mexico to pay for the beach clean-up in Texas. Carter, who is vacationing on a boat trip down the Mississippi River, said no treaty exists which would govern such a situation. Coast Guard strategy for fighting the oil is to sacrifice the easy-to-clean beaches on the protective barrier islands such as Padre and protect the inlets of delicate bays and lagoons. "We still have been successful in keeping the oil out of the Laguna Madre," said Coast Guard Capt. Roger Madson.

The 100-mile-long Laguna Madre behind Padre Island is one of the most important areas, providing breeding grounds for shrimp. Protective equipment also has been moved 100 miles up the coast from Corpus Christi to be staged near the difficult, two-mile-wide Cavallo Pass into Matagorda Bay in anticipation of a second oil assault. glistening white sand on South Padre Island were blackened by the crude oil, damaging the tourist industry in a peak vacation time, if (SJIrttfiite? two statements have incensed resort owners, fishermen and other coastal residents threatened by the oil. Ford also repeated Clements' denial of reports that the Ixtoc I drilling rig lacked equipment to prevent blowouts. "It was fully equipped.

He's been answering that question in every press conference for the past month," Ford said. Scientists said Wednesday that beaches were immediately threatened by only two floating patches of oil, but huge concentrations of oil remained stalled south of Texas because of calm weather this week. Clark strongly indicated that Clements would ask President Carter for a disaster declaration but said final determination has not been made. Such a declaration would allow coastal residents suffering documented economic loss from the oil spill to obtain low interest federal By GREG THOMPSON CORPUS CHRISTI. Texas (AP) Aides to Gov.

Bill Clements walked the oil-stained Texas shore Wednesday and discussed whether to ask for federal disaster relief, two weeks after Clements said that publicity about oil from a runaway ocean well was "much to do about nothing." Under questioning from accompanying reporters, aide Allen Clark and press secretary Jon Ford defended Clements, saying he made his remark before oil had washed ashore. "At that point, very little damage had been done to the beaches and the environment. In those same conversations, he pointed out that it could become a lot more serious," Clark said. Clements who founded SEDCO, thel Dallas firm that leased drilling equipment to the Mexican well which created history's worst oil spill also went on public television last week and said the oil spill was a "Chicken Little" situation.

On Thursday, the president will visit Hannibal, hometown of Mark Twain, whose writings made the Mississippi River sternwheeler part of America's heritage. Carter told his audience the welcome he has received from people along the riverbanks has restored his spirits. "I've been re-inspired as I've seen and met and walked among the crowds," he said. The people of this town supported Carter in 1976 even though the state Adams to become law firm partner WASHINGTON (AP) Former Transportation Secretary Brock Adams will become a partner in the law firm of Honger, Garvey Schubert, starting about Sept. 15, the firm said Wednesday.

The former Carter administration Cabinet officer was a lawyer with a Seattle law firm before he ran for Congress. Houger, Garvey Schubert specializes in international law, but it also is involved in general commercial law. The law firm has offices here and in Seattle, the city represented by Adams in Congress for 12 years before President Carter named him to head the Transportation Department in 1977. Buoy to monitor oil spill course many truckers parked their rigs and staged strikes because of short diesel supplies and rising prices. As a result of the truckers' protests, the government made more diesel available to them.

By then, crops were in and farmers' needs were reduced. Carter was asked straight out if he would give fuel for farmers top priority. "Yes," he said. "The production of food in our country is a top priority." "There will be an adequate supply of fuel for the farmer," he declared. He said farmers' increasing productivity has helped hold down the rate of inflation and provided exports that aid the nation's balance of payments.

"Thank you, farmers, from the bottom of my heart," he said. Agriculture Secretary Bob Bergland flew to Burlington to be with Carter and said the president had a good chance of carrying Iowa and other farm states in 1980. "The crops are probably the best in history and prices are very good," he said. "Jimmy Carter's farm program is working. I think all the signs are 'go' as nearly as I can tell." Carter did not explain exactly what he was endorsing in backing efforts in Congress to stimulate the on-farm production of alcohol for gasohol.

"I would like to announce it to you," he said. My administration would like to support this move." Farm state interests have pushed for gasohol production in hopes of creating a new market for grain crops. The Agriculture Department has said it supports gasohol production, but favors making it from waste products what is left over after cotton is ginned, for example rather than from grains grown just for that purpose. went Republican, but they had some tough questions for him. In his replies, the president: Said he could do nothing to compel Mexico to pay the cost of cleaning up the pollution on Texas beaches.

The pollution results from a blown Mexican offshore oil well, the biggest oil spill in history. Carter said no treaty yet exists to force those responsible for paying cleanup costs. Defended his decision to admit 220,000 Vietnamese "boat people" to America. "Let me remind you that we are a nation of immigrants, we are a nation of refugees," the president said. Ducked the question when asked why nuclear power plants were constructed near farm fields where they could contaminate crops in the event of an accident.

Carter said, "It would be a very serious blow to our country to close down all the nuclear plants." Atomic power is "inevitable," he said. Defending his policy on refugees, Carter asked: "How many people here have ancestors that were native Americans?" "I see two or three hands," he said. He said this about the Vietnamese: "They, are entrepreneurs. They work hard. They are more philosophically attuned to us than they are to the communist regime." He said the United States has accepted about 220,000 Indochinese refugees only about one for every 1,000 Americans.

He urged his audience to keep America "the land of the free and the home of the brave." Carter's promise to farmers and commercial fishermen, too that they would be given first priority on diesel fuel supplies this fall and next spring could bring complaints from the nation's truckers. Last summer, tJ.S. accord for OPEC hikes reported the case and was told President Carter had forbidden it. i asKea rum wny uiey naan iuea LOS ANGELES (AP) The U.S. government agreed in advance to billion-dollar price increases by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, a federal court was told Wednesday.

Dr. Morris A. Adelman, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology economics professor, said an agreement in 1960 allowed multinational oil companies to pass along OPEC price increases to American consumers with Washington's blessing. "The OPEC nations' price raising through tax increase and output restrictions was approved by the United States government," Adelman said in a written report submitted to the court. i960, when OPEC came into existence, a consent decree between the U.S.

It contends that the OPEC nations are subject to U.S. laws because they do business in this country a legal interpretation Hauk has not yet accepted. Hauk, who has previously expressed doubts about his jurisdiction in the case, seemed even more reluctant to continue after hearing Adelman's testimony. "It's a strong indication to this court that I shouldn't be sticking my judicial nose into the federal government or the Carter administration because if I do, I'll have it clipped off," Hauk said.

Hauk said he had asked former U.S. Attorney General Griffin Bell why the government had not entered group of multinational oil companies explicity permitted the latter to fix prices, divide markets and limit output and imports into the United States, if so directed by national governments or by a 'supra-national' body," Adelman 's report said. There was no immediate response from the Justice Department and Adelman was not available to elaborate on his testimony. His comments came during the third day of testimony in a unique antitrust suit filed against the oil cartel. U.S.
