Although the companies have ended 61 years of domination of oil industry, many of them including Exxon, Royal Dutch Shell and Gulf will continue to buy a major share of the oil and will provide paid technological aid to state operating companies that have taken their places.

The amount falls short, however, of planned production of 2.2 million barrels a day. The oil companies origina lly had offered to buy nearly 2.4 million barrels a day, but at prices which Oil Minister Valentin Hernandez said were between 20 and 30 cents low'er than those sought by the Third-biggest Venezuela is the third- biggest producer in the 13- member OPEC, after Saudi Arabia and Iran, and is the second-largest foreign supplier of oil to the United States after Canada.

(AP) Ronald proposal to cut $90 billion from the federal budget has made his supporters uneasy in New Hampshire where opponents say it could force the state to adopt its first income tax. Reagan campaign officials here have steered away from talking about the budget-cutting scheme, hoping it will not slow their challenge to President Ford.

But supporters have implied the proposal could raise havoc with New fiscal balance. The plan The plan, which Reagan supporters say he will outline in detail while campaigning for the Feb. 24 Now Hampshire primary, calls for transferring a variety of federal programs to the states and thereby cutting fed era 1 expenditures. Reagan strategists say that while federal taxes would he cut by nearly one fourth, state taxes probably would have to be increased to pay for the additional state programs. Reagan says he would leave it to the states to the magnitude of the and presumably the amount of state taxes to he collected.

But even the speculation of new state taxes creates waves in politically sensitive New Hampshire, where there is neither sales nor income tax and where Reagan supporters are among the most vocal opponents of so-called based" taxes. think probably a program which he will be thinking of taking a second thought said conservative newspaper publisher William Loeb, one of most influential supporters. But the Federal Election Commission has succeeded in less than a year to botch its mission. The commission was established last Spring to administer the c.ampaign laws. The first priority of every worthy federal instiv tution is to hire as many bureaucrats as possible at the highest salaries possible.

127 bureaucrats Although the new commission is confined to a modest $5 million budget, it managed to acquire 126 bureaucrats at an average salary of $17,463. Then the bureaucrats, true to form, began to produce complex solutions for simple problems. Since bureaucrats are judged by the amount of paperwork they generate, the paper began to fly with seven carbon copies of everything. Ultimately, they busy bureaucrats designed a new disclosure form for political candidates to fill out. This was completed, unfortunately, before the commission adopted regulations setting forth what was to be disclosed.

The culmination of the bureaucratic process is publication in the Federal Register. This is the supreme moment when a new proposal or regulation is unveiled, as required by law, for public viewing. The new disclosure reports. having been pushed into the bureaucratic mill ahead of the disclosure regulations, reached the Federal Register first. Accordingly, the forms were published, at a cost of to the taxpayers, before it was settled what should be reported on the forms.

Confusion Or to state it simply, the commission put the cart before the horse. This was bound to cause some confusion, which the commission tried to allay with this footnote in the Federal Register. comparing the proposed regulations with these forms should not be disturbed by any evident discrepancies." The House Administration Committee, nevertheless, was disturbed. Its staff found nine discrepancies between the proposed regulations the new campaign law instance, the law is supposed to prevent any large, hidden campaign spending. But one of the proposed rules would permit a group of individuals, each staying below the $100 minimum, to join in a major expenditure without having to report it.

House memo The House staff pointed this out in a confidential memo. explained the memo, group of 1,000 individuals could contribute $100 each and spend $100,000 on a single transaction for 111 daily full- page political advertisements in a newspaper for the ten-day period immediately preceding an election, and NOBODY would have to report either contributions or expenditures."

$4 35 pet month The disclosure rules and forms should have been ready months ago for the presidential candidates to file on January 31, 1976. But the fuddle factory, which was supposed to produce the new regulations, has been spinning its wheels. Short of a bureaucratic miracle, the candidates will have to use old, out-dated 1972 forms. A spokesman told our associate Bob Owens that the Federal Election Commission would wait to respond to questions at congressional hearings next month. Testy Ford President Ford, an admirer of the late Harry Truman, can be just as testy.

Confidential White House minutes show frequent Trumanesque utterances coming from the President. For example, Ford chafed the other day over the trouble he has had getting the bureaucracy to economize. Every time he orders a spending cut, the bureaucrats invariably slash the wrong programs. moment you tell 'em to cut grumped the President, all go to the most sensitive programs to make it tougher for us." Nevertheless, he stubbornly resisted heavy defense cuts. approve of overly severe he snorted tersely.

He was in Pasadena for the Rose Bowl on Thursday Ohio State was playing and unavailable for comment. Ordered removed But Burden's executive officer, Col.
