He had been water-skiing with several people who make the Venezuela Begins Oil Nationalization IOn Venezuela's takeover of its giant oil industry, the world's fifth largest, presents the wealthy developing nation with a number of immediate and long range problems. Many of the nation's 12 million citizens, who overwhelmingly supported oil nationalization, believe the state can run the industry just as well as the foreign companies who ran it for six decades. Others are not so sure, pointing to potential risks involving administration, technology, -marketing and politics. On New Year's Day, the state took over concessions and property of more than 30 private, mostly U.S. -owned companies under terms of a nationalization law approved by congress and signed by President Carlos Andres Perez.

The takeover is the result of peaceful negotiations between the government and companies including subsidiaries of Exxon, Royal Dutch Shell, Gulf, Mobil and Texaco which will receive compensation totaling $1.01 billion. Payment, based on net book value of assets, is made in government bonds, payable over five years at six per cent interest. The industry now will be run by 14. state operating companies working largely with the same structure as their foreign predecessors, but under direction of Petroleos de Venezuela, a state holding company that will handle overall management. Although they will no longer run the industry, the international companies will continue to participate through contracts under which they will buy most of the country's oil production and supply technical aid for a fee expected to total some $160 million a year.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) "'The government has, in effect, set its hostages free," said a foreign oil company official who asked that he not be identi'fied.

"From now on they will be making the investments and taking the risks, not our stockholders." Prior to nationalization, international oilmen complained, that while their companies made the investments, they had little control over the industry and had to pay some 98 per cent of income generated by it to the government in taxes and royalties. He warned in a nationwide Thursday that "the nationalization of petroleum is and will be difficult." Published dally by The Eagle Printing Co. Inc. P.O. Box 1073, 124 E.
