Mao Gains Control as China Adopts New Constitution
China's new charter, adopted January 17 by the National People's Congress, assigns Mao Zedong command of the armed forces, ends a presidential post, and signals a move toward a post-Mao era with Chou Enlai's moderate influence. Teng Hsiao-ping rises, while Mao's absence from recent meetings adds intrigue about leadership succession. The document proclaims peaceful coexistence, rejects superpower aggression, and extends worker and peasant freedoms in nonstate work and production.

Washington reports the Interior Department seeks to confirm offshore oil potential, with estimates suggesting total U.S. reserves could reach up to 191 billion barrels, enough for about 22 years at current use. Offshore drilling likely costs higher, with potential government price supports around 7.70 dollars per barrel to spur new offshore production.

New Bell Boss Seeks Chance To Tell Its Side
Charles Marshall, Southwestern Bell’s new Texas head, asks for a chance to present Bell’s side on recent coverage. He says Texas service and budget are strong, but 1000 employees were borrowed from other states to support Houston, a figure now being reduced. He notes Bell probes into Gravitt death and libel suits while defending Texas rates as comparable to Illinois Bell.
