Saudi to raise its oil production JIDDA, Saudi Arabia (AP) Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest oil exporter, decided today to raise its crude oil produt lion, the Saudi state radio reported. Quoting an official source at the royal palace, the radio said the production increase was temporary, but did not specify how large it would be be The source was quoted as saying the increase was necessary to meet expenses in Saudi Arabia's $142 billion 1976-81 development plan. Saudi Arabia's crude oil production ceiling now is 8.5 million barrels a day, and almost 10 percent of U.S. oil comes from the desert kingdom. Dr Abdul HadiTaher.gover- Many places closed for 4th of July AH federal, state, county and city offices will be closed on Wednesday, the 4th of July.

The Saudi oil minister. Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yamani, said ai the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries' price-fixing meeting last week in Geneva, Switzerland, that his country would eventually boost its maximum production capacity over several years to 14 million barrels a day. He did not announce any immediate production increase at that time, however. Because of principles of supply and demand, a substantial increase in Saudi production theoretically could hold down prices worldwide. The Saudis split with most of the other 12 nations of OPEC at last week's meeting, settling on an $18 per barrel base price for crude oil, up from the official base price of $14.55.

The meeting agreed that individual producing countries could tack surcharges of up to $2 a barrel onto that price, and all but Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are believed to be adding such surcharges Continued on Page 14 $1,000 from Pettinger Ranch Libya backing down KUWAIT" (AP) Libyan strongman Col Moammar Khadafy appears to be hedging on his reported threat to cut off Libyan oil exports to teach the West a lesson. Khadafy told a news conference here Sunday that a Libyan embargo would be a "legitimate use of the oil weapon," but said it was premature to fix a date for such a cutoff. "Further technical studies" would be needed and the plan should be endorsed by the Libyan Parliament, he said. Libya produces about 2 million barrels of crude oil a day and exports most of it. Libyan exports account for about 10 percent of U.S.

imports. On Friday an Arabic weekly newspaper in Paris quoted Khadafy as saying Libya would keep its oil in the ground to teach the West a lesson. There are reasons for the smiles as Paul Murphy and Dick Gilroy, co-chairmen of the Peter Pan building fund drive, accept a $1,000 contribution from Pettinger's South Devon Ranch. Don Pettinger (far left), owner of the ranch, and Larry manager (far right), visited with Murphy (second from left) and Gilroy about the fund drive at the ranch home north of Chillicothe. The Pettingers will be moving to Chillicothe from Iowa in the near future and said they are looking forward to becoming a part of the community.

The South Devon cattle operation began here late last March. Murphy and Gilroy said the Peter Pan organization deeply appreciates the outstanding contribution from the Pettmgers and Photo Bank's free Fireworks Show to be even bigger this year At least 5 stations open here on July 4 Gasoline was little more plentiful last weekend than the previous one when only one station was pumping gas on Sunday, June 24, but it appears that an adequate supply will be available at least through the daytime on Wednesday, the Fourth of July. A- s'urvey today by the Constitution-Tribune indicates that the majority of service and gasoline stations will be closed on the Fourth of July. Of the 14 surveyed by the C-T only five said they would be open Wednesday. Stations reporting they would be open Wednesday include Hoover Oil Co.

and its mini station, David Rupp, Faubion's Fina and the Windmoor. At one other station, the John Rupp Super the owner, was hot in when the telephone survey was made by the C-T. With five stations open on the Fourth, the availability of gasoline will be slightly better than the past two weekends in Chillicothe.
