Energy
Nixon appeals to Americans
to cut down voluntarily
By WILLIAM CLAYTON
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
President Nixon has appealed
to Americans voluntarily to
spend a slightly chillier, slower
moving, more thrifty winter to
stave off what he called the
worst fuel shortage since World
War 11.
Saying a long-forming shor
tage, plus the effect of the
Middle East crisis, will leave
the United States short of oil by
2 to 3 million barrels a day,
Nixon asked Congress Wednes
day for more power and asked
the people to sacrifice energy
luxuries until the pinch is over.
If that does not work, he
warned, Americans may have
the first direct consumer
rationing of gasoline since the
19405.
Nixon told the nation in a
broadcast speech, and in a
separate message to Congress,
he is ordering that power plants
be kept from switching from
coal to oil, directing that
aircraft get less fuel, asking
that Americans turn their home
thermostats down to 68 degrees
and ordering the federal
bureaucracy to use less heat
and light and drive government
cars more slowly.
He said he is asking that
nuclear power permits be
expedited and is requesting
governors and local officials to
Nixon won’t quit
By MIKE FEINSILBER
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
President Nixon has taken
frank note that in a painful
year since his landslide re
election he has lost the faith of
“great numbers of Americans.”
But rather than resign he says
he will struggle to remove their
distrust.
* The President—with his aides
in court trying to defend his
credibility, his impeachment
discussed in Congress and his
popularity at a new low in the
polls—acknowledged his ex
traordinary situation in a brief,
intense “personal note” at the
end of a 20-minute televised
speech from the White House
on the forthcoming shortages of
fuel and power.
He said his response to
editorials calling for his resig
nation is: “I have no intention
whatever of walking away from

Declaring that the country was facing “the most acute
shortages of energy since World War H,” President Nixon
announced he was preparing contingency plans for
rationing gasoline and home heating oil. The President is

do at their level things similar
to what Nixon is ordering at the
federal level.
“We are heading toward the
most acute shortages of energy
since World War II,” Nixon
said.
“The fuel crisis need not
mean genuine suffering for any
American,” he added. “But it
will require some sacrifice by
the job I was elected to do.
“As long as I am physically
able, I am going to continue to
work 16 to 18 hours a day for
the cause of a real peace
abroad, and for the cause of
prosperity, without inflation,
without war, at home.”
Nixon said he was “con
fident” he would regain the
people’s faith.
In the months ahead, he said,
he would do “everything that I
can” to remove doubts about
his integrity.
Nixon Adds to Staff
Presidential Press Secretary
Ronald L. Ziegler said Nixon
was adding to his staff of
lawyers working on Watergate
related matters—it now num
bers a dozen—and was deter
mined “to communicate to the
Congress, the press and the
American people the Presi
dent's position more effectively
than we have in the past.”
His remarks indicated the
White House was digging in for
the long haul.
In other developments:
—Rose Mary Woods, who has
kept out of the public eye
during two decades of service
as Nixon’s personal secretary,
was to testify before Judge
John J. Sirica in the White
House’s efforts to dissolve
disbelief that two subpoenaed
Watergate tapes never existed.
Also to testify was H. R.
Haldeman, once Nixon’s most
intimate and most powerful
adviser.
—Sirica denied a new trial
for James W. McCord, the
Watergate defendant and bug-
all Americans. We must be
sure that our most vital needs
are met first—and that our
least important activities are
the first to be cut back. And we
must be sure that while the fat
from our economy is being
trimmed, the muscle is not
seriously damaged.”
Nixon asked Congress for
authority to bring Daylight
ging expert convicted in Janua
ry, 1973, and refused to order
trials for his five co-defendants
who had pleaded guilty. Sirica
said he would pronounce
sentence on the six on Friday,
possibly giving an indication of
how stern he could be expected
to be on others convicted.
Jaworski to Testify
—ln ‘ Congress, where the
firing of Watergate Prosecutor
Archibald Cox triggered an

nated successor, Leon Jaworski

tell a House judiciary subcom
mittee of his understanding of
the terms under which he
accepted the job and what he

Saving Time back for the whole
year, to ease clean air
requirements so as to allow
more use of coal, to hold stores
to briefer work days, to cut
speed limits on federal high
ways and to produce more oil
from federal reserves.
The new laws, presidential
directives and belt-tightening
could erase the oil deficit in the
short run, he said; reducing
highway speeds could save
600,000 barrels of oil a day;
cooler homes and offices could
save 640,000 barrels; cutting air
flights, 170,000; converting
power plants to coal, 430,000;
increasing federal oil reserves’
production, 160,000; and boost
ing production of oil from
nongovernmental wells, 350,000
barrels daily.
Only if those things don’t
work, Nixon said, will he turn
to gasoline rationing on the
World War II coupon-cutting
level.
“Part of our current problem
also stems from war—the war
in the Middle East," he said.
“But our deeper energy prob
lems come not from war but
from peace and abundance. We
are running out of energy today
because our economy has
grown enormously and because,
in prosperity, what were once
considered luxuries are now
considered necessities.”

circumstances that caused Cox
to be fired. After that, the
subcommittee was to begin
drafting a bill for a court
appointed prosecutor.
—The Senate Watergate com
mittee, going into the area of
money and politics, heard
Florida homebuilder Robert
Priestes testify that he was told
in March, 1972, his troubles
with the Federal Housing
Administration would end if he
gave SIOO,OOO to Nixon’s re
election committee. He said the
shakedown came from Ben
Fernandez, a Nixon fund raiser.
Fernandez told UPI: “I will
refute his testimony down to
the nth degree and prove him
an unmitigated liar.”

senior Republican in the

colleagues Edward W. Brooke,

he said, the House should fix a
