' The Libyan and Iranian price increases were first revealed by a newsletter that covers the industry and were confirmed by spokesmen for several U.S. companies that buy the oll. Iran and Libya provide about 10 per cent of the oil used by the United - States. Monday’s price increases, plus @ 10-per-cent boost last week by Kuwait — to $21.42 or $25.07 Canadian — are seen by analysts as touching . off a series of leapfrogging Increases by Individual members of the Organ- leation of Petroleum Ex- porting Countries. Mexico, not an OPEC member, ralsed its prices last week by $2 to $24.60 or $28.73 Canadian, Analysts expect that, Uke two earller rounds of in- creases this year, the in- dividual Increases will culminate ina general rise in OPEC's set prices, The car- tel meets in December to discuss prices. Meanwhile, in Callfornia on Monday, 4 federal judge refused to reconsider his dis- -mingal of a price-flxing sult against the OPEC natlons. U.S. District Judge Andrew Hauk has ruled OPEC's pricing actions had ''no direct impact" on the price’ of fuel in the United States, and concluded crude oil prices are lower than they ought ta be in view of in- flation and the declining value of the U.S. dollar. Iran’s ‘inerease, retroactive to Oct. .t, raises the price of Its best-quality oll by $1.50, to $23.50 U.S. ($27.49 Canadian} a barrel, and its lesser-quality oil by $2.87, to $22.77 U.S. ($826.64 Canadian) a barrel. Libya's price rise, ef- fective Monday, tacka 12 per cent onto its prices, which vary depending on the quality of oil, which - generally ia considered high quailty, Libya's increage is seen by ‘analysta as particularly significant because it breaks the $23.50-a-barrel OPEC celling. — Trans Mountain or Nor- thern Tier?” ; “In my opinion, Northern Tier is the worst of thosa two options.” Fraser said the Northern Tier plans calls for super- tankers to enter the Strait of Juan de Fuca, between the southern tip of Vancouver Istand and Washington, on thelr way to Port Angeles, Wash.; a hazardous plece of @avigation, Trans Mountain's plan will see tankers shipping ail from dez, Alaska to Low Point, a e west coast af n.

Natives claim a win VANCOUVER (CP) — Native Indians have hailed the withdrawal of Foothills Oil Pipe Lines Ltd. from - National Energy Board hearings Monday as a. significant victory for Indian land claims, The Calgary company ~ made the: announcement as the board convened hearings to consider -proposals by Foothilis and ‘Trans Mountain Pipe Line Co. Ltd. of Vancouver to bulld a pipeline to move Alaska oil to the midwest United - States, . ‘Foothills president. Ed Philllps said his company’ ts stepping” aside to ‘allow’ a” quick hearing of Trans Mountain’s proposal which involves increased oll tanker traffic along the British Columbia coast. The company will continue to act as an intervener In the hearings, and will be able to cross-examine the Trans Mountain application. In the meantime, Phillips said in an interview, Foothills will kes ite pra ready to subjec ta the board's scrutiny if Trans Mountaln ia rejected. Both the Canadian and B.C. governments have _ supported Foothills. The company also said it is _Withdrawing because ‘‘it would be unwise to press for an early pipeline through the Yukon while Indian land claims remain unsettled and the Connell for Yukon In- ns consequently so opposed to our project."’ Don Rosenblogm, council lawyer, sald Foothills’ statement on native land claims applies to the com- pany'’s $12 billion Alaska Highway natural gas pipeline already approved by the U.S. and Canada. Beth pipelines were proposed for the same corridor, The council suc- cessfully argued before the board last week that Foothills should provide environmental and socio-, econemic information on the cumulative effects of con- struction of two major pipelines. “The Yukon Indians can rejoice with the sudden turn of events that appears corporate interests are finally taking heed of the importance of native claims before embarking on major projects,"" Rosenbloom said. we are Z vehemently o the gas e ae the ail pipeline. We will hold them (Foothills) to the same principle of settling native land claims before proceeding with major construction.” ; Rick Salter, Union of B.C. Clark expresses concern, OTTAWA (CP) ~. Prime Minister Clark daid-today he regrets the decision by Foothills Pipeline Lid to ‘ withdraw a proposal for an all-land route to move Alaskan oll to the U.S. midwest. : Clark told the Commons ‘the government remains concerned on the environment’ o moving ol] by tanker from Alaska and along the West abont-the impact Coast to the lower 48 states. - He sald in reply to a question from Art Phillips (L-Vancouver Centre) that the government will probably be in touch with the U.S. government over the matter, Foothills withdrew its pro- posal Monday about the same time as an an- nouncement in Washington that U.S. Interlor Secretary Cecil Angus is putting his support behind use of tank- ere to move the oll to the U.S. and is rejecting pipeline routes through Canada. s * Decision e said #,% political OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Reaction was mixed Monday to the endorsement by In- terlor Secretary Cecil An- drus of the Northern Tier Pipeline Co. proposal for moving Alaskan crude oil to the Midwest United States. The proposal presently calls for establishment of an oll port at Port Angeles, Wash., and a 1,600-mile pipeline runaing across Washington and the northern tier states to Clearbrook, Minn. “It was premature and political,"’ sald Rep. Don Bonker (D~Wash), who represents Clallam County, the site of the proposed oll port. Bonker joined Rep. Al Swift, also a Democrat, in questioning the need for an oi) port. “The recommendation is contrary to our supply and demand data that cates there is going to be no sur- plus Alaskan oil for shipment to the Mlidwest,’’ said Bonker. Indian Chiefs spokesman, sald that if Foothills recognizes that Indian people will auffer from construction of the ail Pipeline “it must also reco native interests will be damaged by the gas pipeline bullt in the same corridor.” He also said that both the Northern Tier and Trans Mountdin applications ip- volve tanker traffic that could have “‘drastic im- plications for tisherles,"’ Phillips said the only way a Canadian company w: win the pipeline contract is if ste nied provide a 5 7 EEUTOG position on a altermetive pt an all American proposal gaining favor in the US. Such an unequivocal position won’t be reached quickly, he said, if the board examines two competing proposals at once. U.S. President Jimmy Carter is to make a decision in early December on which project goes ahead, and if Canada hasn't made a decision by then, those in- volved will be labelled ob- structionist, Phillips said, Phillips, who also is president of Westcoast Transmission of Vancouver, ‘one of the partners is the Foothills venture, ‘said tha group is willing to risk a final cea Si pro atill on t sidelines, U.S. Interior Secretary ll Andrus endorsed the Northern Tier Pipeline Co. proposal in a letter Monday to Carter. The $1.2 billion proposal calls for a 2,400-kilometre peline to move Alaska oil rom Port Angeles on Washington's Olympic Peninsula, across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Vic: toria, to Clearbrook, Minn. Trans Mountain wants to build a pipeline from an oil port at Low Point, just weat at Port Angeles, to the Canadian border at Sumas, Wash., then to Edmonton in @ ine paralleling the com: pany’s existing pipeline. Both proposals have been opposed by those who fear increased tanker traffic will increase the chances of oll spills. The $1.6 billion Foothills proposal calls for the oil to move. from Alaska in a pipeline through the Yukon and northeastern B.C. ta Edmonton, It would then move aouth in existing Pipelines Debt counselling cut back By ED YUDIN Herald Staff Writer Debt counselling services in Terrace will be cut off at the end of next month if new funding is not for- theoming.
