ON OFFSHORE OIL Energy Program Needs Supreme Court Decision WASHINGTON (UPIi Solicitor Genefal Robert H. Bork says President ford's energy program heeds a quick Supreme Court decision on whether 12 Atlantic Coast states or the federal government own vast offshore oil rights. Solicitor General Robert H. Bork argued for federal title to millions of acres of undersea land Monday, saying the justices decided the basic issues 28 years ago, and "the urgent efforts of the President to improve the energy program require immediate judgment here." Twelve Atlantic Coast states have laid claim to the sea beds beyond the 3-mile limit to the brink of the Continental Shelf, which extends up to 100 miles offshore. Brice Clagett of Washington, representing all the states, said colonial titles and 8th century English maritime law vested ownership in the states.

He said the states did not give up their ownership when they joined the Union. Bork called the argument "essentially he said that in 1947 the Supreme Court ruled that the United States has title to all sea resources beyond the low tide mark. The only state claim, he said, was granted by Congress in 1953 when it gave coastal states control over the seas up to three miles of fshore. Both the states and the Department of the Interior are anxious for a Supreme Court ruling the lucrative royalties expected from the oil companies. The federal government took initial steps to lease land for exploration in the Atlantic Ocean, was stopped pending Supreme Court action.

Maine, the first state to challenge federal ownership, has already issued permits to explore 3.3 ABWA Plans To Crown Its Boss Of Year Frank Kelley, M.D., a Pampa physician since 1937.

Clagett said slate control of oil exploratien would not hurt the national interest and that in time of national emergency, Washington could force the states to speed oil development if necessary.

In addition, Clagett said, the states were challenging only sea bed ownership, and the federal government would still control the sea above. The justices will dispose of oral arguments in the last oil case of the term today when it hears Floirda's claim to Atlantic sea beds. Florida originally joined with the other 12 states to contest federal ownership, but dropped out because its claim does not rest on cofonial titles. Flbfida asserts different historic grouftds including terms of its readmissiofl to the union in 1868, All 13 coast states bear a heavy burden in persuading the justices to side with them because a special master appointed by the court ruled in favor of the U.S.. The justices rarely do more than slightly modify a special master's conclusions.

Earlier Monday, the justices heard technical arguments about how to define the three mile limit off Louisiana's shores for oil exploration purposes. Cotton, grain sorghum and rice are the leading crops in Texas. The Consumer Alert by John L. Hill Attorney General AUSTIN Most businessmen have at one time or another been approached and possibly even pressured to buy goods or services they can't use or don't want. The usual response to such sales tactics is a firm "no," or some variation thereof.

But certain firms or individuals have devised a method of selling that sometimes makes it'difficult or impossible to say "no." They specialize in sending unordered merchandise with a bill for payment, or in sending "promotional billings." The latter are direct mail solicitations for goods or services that are designed to look like invoices. In both cases, the sender is counting on the recipient to assume the order or invoice was authorized and pay the bill. It's especially easy for this to happen in a business where one person may be in charge of purchasing and another in charge of accounting. The Attorney General's Consumer Protection Divison lawyers report that instances of receipt of unordered merchandise and such deceptive solicitations have occurred in Texas and that other states are experiencing similar occurrences. For example, some Texas businessmen have notified the Better Business Bureau that salesmen for an out of state company have called long distance to offer a prize such as a radio to the employee answering the call.

This gives the firm a name and address, to which they later send unordered light bulbs, along with a bill. Our Consumer Protection attorneys remind businessmen that both state and federal laws now protect recipients of unordered merchandise. If you receive unordered goods by mail, you don't have to pay for or return them, unless they were delivered accidentally. In that case, the burden of proof is on the sender. Many of the "promotional billings" are either for a copy of an "international business directory" or for a listing in such a publication.

The U.S. Postal Service is currently investigating a number of such mailings that come from as far away as Hong Kong and Australia. Another deceptive solicitation is the high pressure "equal opportunity" or appeal. Our Consumer Protection Division has learned of complaints about several West Coast firms which use special WATS telephone lines to place calls all over the country urging placement of ads in various "minority publication." Some businessmen contacted by these firms have refused to place ads but have alleged that they later were billed for them anyway. U.S.

Postal'authorities investigating the possibility of mail fraud by such firms report that persons making such appeals often are not members of the minority group and do not represent any minority organization. In addition, in many of these cases, no information is available on the publication or its circulation, and the only known address is a post office box. Even the Attorney General's office is not immune to such "sympathy" appeals. Numerous requests for advertising in a publication supposedly directed toward a minority religious denomination were received by our office during the recent holiday season. Our office followed the same advice we give to others: 1.

If an appeal is received from an unfamiliar group, ask to be sent more information by mail. Get the name, address, and telephone number of the individuals or the group. Don't commit yourself until you have all information in writing! 2. If the appeal is for advertising in an unfamiliar publication, ask to be sent a recent copy of the publication, along with an advertising rate schedule giving prices for various ad sizes and frequency of placement. You may also want to ask for information bout circulation.

An audit bureau circulation report, a Sworn drculation statment, a verified audit circulation report, or a sworn postal statement all can give proof of circulation. 3. Check with the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division your county or district attorney, or the Better Business Bureau to learn if any complaints have been received about the publication, group, or individual making the appeal.

Some people want to moonlight to supplement their incomes. Others may be unemployed and still others may be housewives wanting to work at home. Because of the rising cost of living and unemployment, people will snatch at straws to solve their personal economic problems. So when ads like the following appear in the paper "Earn big money at home in your spare time, no experience necessary" it may sound like a good idea. An ad like this is just one of the several hundred earn money at home schemes that swindle millions of people out of over a half billion dollars each year, according to the Better Business Bureau.

These schemes all have one thing in common: you have to buy something before you begin to work. These ads usually offer huge profits for some at home work claiming there is a great demand and which requires no experience. People who fall for this usually wind up losing money instead of making it. Addressing Envelopes For example, an ad offers money for addressing envelopes or mailing advertising, but first you must send in a small fee. usually $1 or so.

You get a booklet explaining the offer: you are given a chance to buy unstamped postcards offering some product or service, like name plates, or cosmetics. You buy the postcards, you buy the stamps, you mail the postcards to people that you select. If anybody orders anything, you get a commission. If nobody orders anything, you've lost money and wasted a lot of time. It's almost impossible to make money on a deal like this.

In fact, in a postal fraud case, the Better Bureau reports the hearing examiner found that the average amount that could be earned by home workers answering such an ad would be about 45 cents a week. "Women $100 monthly for doing assembly work at home." This scheme requires you to buy instructions and materials, often at inflated prices, for making such items as baby booties or aprons. What the ads don't tell you is that you generally have to sell the product yourself. Ads that state "no selling" trick, you by not revealing that the agreement for the company to buy your finished product depends on the work being "acceptable" or "up to our standards." Nothing you make is ever up to standard; this is part of the scheme, to reject everything. If you want to break even, you probably will have to sell the items yourself.

Pay for Advice Some ads vaguely imply that they're offering some type of home work, but if you send money, you find the ads don't offer work but merely ideas for setting up a home business. You don't have to pay for sound advice on starting a home business. You can get it free by writing to the U.S. Small Business Administration, Washington D.C. 20416, and asking for Bibliography Not I.

"Handicrafts and Home The Better Business Bureau says that advertising that seems "too good to be true" usually is just that "loo good to be true!" An energy saving tip from the Better Business Bureau: If you have a steam or hot water heating system with free standing radiator, place a sheet of aluminum foil- on the wall behind the radiator. This will reflect heat into the room that otherwise would be lost through the wall.
