At the same time, industrial expansion in eastern Europe, and the east Europeans' own shift to car ownership, mean that the demand for Soviet oil from its small neighbors will probably go on rising.

Ala. (UPli Gov. George C. Wallace, who "stood in the schoolhouse door" in 1363 in an attempt to block racial integration at the University of Alabama, says he has been misunderstood on the issue of race. "1 was for segregation because that was the law and that's what the people of Alabama wanted.

"Well, it's not the Saw any more. "Tltey may still want it, but we don't have it any more and the question is moot. Now it's time for all of us to go on together." Wallace, who is eyeing a fourth presidential bid in 1976, said in an interview with UP1. "If the people interpret me as being against people just because who they are they are misinterpreting me. Wallace was the symbol of resistance Jo racial integration in the South during the 1960 but he said he was never against blacks, only big government.

In recent months, Wallace has crowned a black homecoming queen at the University of Alabama and made a special appearance at the Southern Conference of Black Mayors were he said, "1 am the governor of all the people." Wallace is thought to be trying to soften his image on race to make himself more attractive to blacks and labor voters when he MAMH Young love takes the helm and DAD FLIPS OUT! vm 4 I DU! 1ILY RESTAURAN LATC'S CSjyPOfi 1 151 uuufun fill ORDER Of PANCAKES WITH EACH ORDER PURCHASED runs for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1976. George Meany. head of the A.FL'OO, said after a meeting tliree weeks ago that Wallace had "mellowed'' on race, but Wallace said Meany did not understand his previous position. "1 have never been anti-anybody because of who they were," he said. "I have been anti-big government.

My whole philsopby has been against big government, not against people." But Wallace has not dropped his objection to busing to achieve racial balances, which he says is another example of big government interference. "Busing ought to be contested." he said, "but added he would not defy the law to oppose busing. Wallace said if busing is challenged and found to be constitutional, "Then we're going to have to live with it." Wallace maintained that h'e never defied a federal court order despite his frequent clashes with federal officials. irT4Mif'riBHju)fr THEATRES 44701 has yet been opened up to railways and good transport Russia hss plenty of KNOWN WORLD EKESli?

The discoveries in Siberia are so iarge that the unit cost of production can be dramatically lower.

Much of the coai mining is open-cast But from here the problems begin Transport, foi a start. Professor Robert Campbell, of Indiana University, who is one of the world's leading speci; lists on Soviet gas and oil, has estimated that the cost of transporting oil, even by the fattest pipeline, and with no special allowance for the extra expense of laying pipelines in the frozen tundra of the extreme north, comes to about half a ruble (a ruble currently worth 79 cents! per ton tor each kilometer; and it is about 3,000 kilometers from the Tyumen fields to Murmansk, and kilometers to Nakhodka on the Pacific.
