...contrast to the jaunty Stans, a subdued and sorrowful LaRue last week learned the penalty he must pay for conspiring to obstruct justice in the Watergate coverup. The mild-mannered Mississippi oil heir had admitted taking part in the payoffs to the burglars and had testified for the Government in the trial that led to the convictions of H.R.

To maintain their prices in the face of the oil glut, OPEC members have been forced to reduce production substantially from 1974's average 33 million bbl. per day. In the past couple of months, daily production has declined by 3 million to 5 million...
