AUSTIN — In the midst
of anti-Iranian demonstra-
tions in some Texas cities,
Texans arc also concerned
that a shutdown of crude oil
from Iran will cause more
long gasoline lines at service
stations.
Last week Gov. Bill Clem-
ents said reinstatement of
odd-even gasoline sales in
Texas is possible, but it de-
pends on whether “drivers
panic and start topping off”
their tanks.
Clements instituted the
odd-even rationing plan this
summer based on license
plate numbers.

enough supply of gas, but if
we get into a panic situation,
we’ll go back to it,” Clem-
ents said.
In a gesture of true states-
manship, Clements also
urged citizens and officials
alike to back President Jim-
my Carter in his efforts to
receive some 62 Americans
held hostage in Iran. Clem-
ents is a steadfast political
foe of Carter’s, but he urged
politicians not to make po-
litical hay from the troubled
situation.
Anti-Iranian demonstra-
tions have occurred in Aus-
tin, Houston, Beaumont,
Dallas and other cities.
Holding Back Curbs
State energy officials are
closely monitoring the cut-
off of oil from Iran, but do
not anticipate needs for im-
mediate conservation or ra-
tioning.
“Texas is in pretty good
shape," said Bill Lauder-
back, executive assistant to
the Texas Energy and Natu-
ral Resources Commission.
“Fuel is tight but I don’t
think we’re in as bad shape
as New Jersey or Washing-
ton, DC."

Lauderback said TEN-
RAC has been scrutinizing
the Iranian situation closely
since the hostages were
taken on Nov. 4. He does
not believe the cutoff will
have consequences in Texas
as serious as those encoun-
tered during the summer.
Congressional Action
Two U.S. Senators from
Texas, Democrat Lloyd
Bentsen and Republican
John Tower, have urged the
nation to stop training Iran-
ian military pilots and navi-
gators until the hostages are
returned.
The government now
trains 123 of the pilots at
three Air Force bases in
Texas: Del Rio, Wichita
Falls and Lubbock.
“There is no reason for
the United States to continue
to train fighter pilots for a
renegade government that is
holding American diplomats
hostage in Tehran,” Bentsen
said.
Congressman Abraham
“Chick” Kazan said he is
cosponsoring legislation to
authorize immediate depor-
tation of non-immigrant stu-
dents who abuse U.S. laws.
“The minute Iranian stu-
dents evacuate the class-
room” and take to the streets
in political demonstrations
against the U.S. and in sup-
port of Ayatollah Khomeini,
they should be deported, he
said.
AG Opinion
Attorney General Mark
White ruled last week that
the Governor’s Committee
on Aging cannot be legally
transferred to the Texas De-
partment of Community Af-
fairs.
Clements had already ef-
fected the merger, and was
unavailable for comment.
Two of his spokesmen said
the ruling by White was cor-
rect, but that it did not mean
the transfer would have to
be undone.
Omar Harvey, TDCA
executive director, said the
merger was actually carried
out under an interagency
agreement between the Com-
mittee on Aging and the
TDCA.
