through higher taxes that should come out of company profits and not the consumers' pockets a key Iranian offi rial said today He said these governments agree that posted prices for crude oil should not be changed but they want to boost their income by imposing new taxes of about 35 to 40 centsabarrel This increase if passed on directly to consumers would come to about one cent a gallon for gasoline or about $3 a ton for heating oil The tax increase plan was report ed to newsmen by Jamshid Amouze-gar Iranian minister of the interior during a lunch break in a conference of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries But oil company analysts observe fag the Vienna meeting said every' penny added to average tax costs will be passed on to consumers economic commission had submitted a recommendation that prices be increased by about 14 per cent However Amouzegar and others had indicated that the push for higher prated prices is weakening' apparently because less and less oil is subject to the prated price due to increased nationalization of foreign pil holdings: The prated price is an artificial figure on which the producing countries calculate what the oil companies pay for thd share of the oil they produce It has been $1165 a barrel since Jan 1 meaning that the oil countries collected about $640 a barrel Meanwhile the oil countries sen their share of the production by jointly owned companies often 60 per 'cent to their Western partners who have the marketing facilities The price for this oil is determined by auction or negotiations The current market price is about $950 a barrel of oil during the squeeze -last winter resulting from the Arab oil embargo it rose in some cases to more than $20 a barrel The OPEC nations account for about 56 per cent of the world's daily production of about 50 million barrels Some of the ministers say this should be reduced by 2 million barrels but two previous attempts to work out an agreement limiting production failed Reunion lawn of South Boston High School the scene of white protest demonstrations Thursday A few persons were seen milling in the area but the streets were quiet A police spokesman

private life An additional $400000 was requested for him after that period under the Former Presidents Act Rep Tom Bevill D-Ala a subcommittee member had said he did not believe the $450000 was needed

except the tapes which he can Bevill said General Services Administration chief Arthur Sampson said Nixon owns the Watergate tapes and papers and an agreement signed when President Ford pardoned him is designed to' assure the information in them will be preserved for posterity as well as for court evidence But Bevill said under terms of the "the government is not assured of getting any record of any kind to preserve for Sampson acknowledged that Nixon could not be compelled under the agreement to release any- tapes or papers to the public But he said Nixon promised in the agreement to release some and the GSA chief said -he is confident Nixon will keep his word He also said White House lawyer Philip Buchen has said that GSA would listen to any tapes that were going to be destroyed Bevill said that is not part of the agreement however Deputy GSA counsel Herman Barth said the agreement does assure that none of papers can be destroyed for three years and that none of the tapes can be destroyed for five years Sampson said his assurance of ac- ciess to the Watergate tapes and papers which are to be stored in a $110000 vault near San Clemente is the fact that he has one of two keys

cost more than $100000 to date could be continued Rejection would leave Nixon open to possible disbarment The controversy over resignation erupted Monday- when his attorney Dean Butler told the annual convention of attorneys that his client would soon resign voluntarily from the association thus relinquishing his right to practice law in his home state Bar president Brent Able said on Thursday -the recommendation by -the board of governors was made because Nixon had refused to acknowledge that he faced possible disciplinary action by the bar This step was interpreted by some lawyers as a means
