:~1 Gas Goliath terminates lease on station
PORTLAND
(AP) — Barry Devi*
liav's his lift! on
faith Texaco ln<
prefers profit.
So it rame ns no surprise that
the gasoline giant terminated the
leases Wednesday on the three
Oregon stations run by Davis,
who began ( losing the stations
this year from sundown Friday
to sundown Saturday to observe
the Sabbath
Texaco also filed a s»* nnd law
suit against Davis, asking that
U S Distric t fudge Helen Frye
require him to surrender the sta
tions by Mav ifH
Frye ordered Davis earlier this
month to r«0|M*n the stations in
Salem, Eugene and Clackamas to
comply with Ins Texaco dealer
ship contract.
Texaco filed its first lawsuit
against Davis last month, claim
ing Davit had operated the sta
tions for 2* hours a day for years
and that the clotures that began
this year had ( ost Texaco both
profits and customers.
Davit, however, has continued
the c leisures, despite Frye * order.
"All through my Ufa I have
made my decisions, gwxi or bad.
and I hove lived by them," ha
said Wednesday "I made a
promise to God. and I will fulfill
inv promise to God. I'm not oven
thinking of hacking down."
Davis, 50, said he is angry at
Texaco's effort to terminate his
leases and had no intention of
turning the other cheek.
"What they’ve done is stomped
all over my < ivii rights." Davis
saul "It's a whole different ball
game now "
Davis said Frye's ruling vio
lates his < (institutional right to
worship without government
interference
“They're running a complete
game of intimidation and coer
cion," he said.
Davis' attorney had said ear
lier that Texaco did not want to
terminate its contracts with Davis
because he had sold so much of
its gasoline
But Texaco representatives
confronted Davis Wednesday
morning at his station in Salem,
handing him letters of notifica
tion The letters cited his alleged
violations of the court order and
his contract with Texaco.
"Unfortunately, we have been
unable to resolve this issue." the
letters said. "We regret this, and
we regret that we are compelled
to terminate the lease and sales
agreement."
Davis' attorney. David Shan
non, said he would challenge
the termination under the U S.
Petroleum Marketing Practices
Act, which requires 90 days'
notice before termination and
reasonable grounds for the ter
mination.
"Each provision of an agree
ment has to bo measurer! against
whether it is objectively reason
able." Shannon said.
Texaco spokesman Norm
Stanley said the company’s
main concern is maintaining
service to its customers.
“Our whole effort is to keep
the stations open because of a
lot of our customers are frustrat
ed that they can’t get fuel from
sundown Friday until sundown
Saturday," Stanley said.
"We’ve had nothing but the
greatest respect for Mr Davis
and we art- doing this with great
reluctance," Stanley said. “But
it is something wo feel we have
to do."

day at the State Department
The sources, dcs lining to l» identified, said Juppe
would come to Washington to see Christopher on
Saturday Another indication of progress was
Christopher's announcement that he and Kozyrev
would take the results of their talks to President Bill
Clinton at the White House on Friday
Diplomatic soon vs said ihv focus was not on mil*
itiirv measures. as proposed June ! l>v ('.tinton But
U S offii mis said that remained the "preferred
option" and hail not Iveen abandoned
"We are drawing closer together on a number
of elements." Christopher said after his second ses

Christopher said the conversation would be
broadened to include the From h and British gov

"That's something we have to look at in the next
few days," said a U.S. official, who spoke on con
dition of anonymity.
Clinton emphasized again, meanwhile, that the
United States would not act unilaterally.
'Everything the United States does in Bosnia,
which is in the heart of Europe, must f>« done not
on our own but through the United Nations or
through NATO." Clinton said in an interview with
MTV news.
This is not a problem we can solve." Clinton
said. "A lot of those groups have been fighting not
only for decades but for centuries, and the only way
we i an solve it is through the United Nations."
Clinton added: "If we can stop this ethnii cleans
ing. from a purely humanitarian point of view we
ought to try to do it We have to do it w ith our
allies "
Kozyrev, who gist visited Yugoslavia, said he and
Christopher agreed on "liasic political principles'
in considering a joint plan of action. "No doubt this
w ill lead to positive results." he told reporters.
State Department spokesman Richard Boucher
would not elaborate, except to agree that "there are

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
four federal agents who died
m the Feb. 28 gun battle with
David Koresh and his follow
ers were eulogized Thursday
as puhlii servants who stood
up to "a violent criminal who
was ready to harm anyone in
his way.”
"These were the good guys
just wanting to go after the
bad guys." added Treasury
Secretary Lloyd Bentsen in
an emotional tribute to the
Alcohol. Tobacco and
Firearms agents slain in the
initial assault
Speaking to a hushed
crowd of several hundred at
the National Law Enforce

Bentsen recalled his own
experiences in World War II
when comrades fell in battle
and he questioned the ran

"I'll never ever know how
deep the losses have hurt
you," Bentsen told the fami
lies Til never share your

I'll understand when you ask
over and over again 'Why?
Why did it have to happen to
them?' No matter how many
times you ask. I'm sorry hut
