OPA denies
fine rumor
By JACK WILKINSON
ATLANTA (UPI) - After a
flood of calls and visits from
homeowners and farmers con
cerned about the shortage of
heating oil, the federal Office
of Petroleum Allocation (OPA)
tried to quell rumors Tuesday
that fuel distributors would be
fined for taking new custom
ers.
“Any new home oil users will
be serviced and there will be
no $5,000 fine against distribut
ors for picking up new custom
ers as has been rumored,”
Dennis Carr, an OPA official,
said. “While the amount of fuel
may be under the desired
amount, this office will see to
it that everyone is treated
equitably.”
Carr said there has been
mass confusion over regulations
concerning propane and middle
distillates, including heating oil,
which the OPA office regulates.
Device can ‘lasso’
coin in stomach
ATLANTA (UPI) - A 7-year
old boy recently had a quarter
retrieved from his stomach by
a new technique that did not
require surgery.
Dr. Robert Carter Davis Jr.,
an Atlanta physician, said he
used a forward-viewing pedi
atric gastroscope, inserted
through the youngser’s mouth
and throat and into his
stomach, to “lasso” the coin
with a wire snare.
“We have asked around the
country, and this procedure has
never been reported to have
been done this particular way
before,” Davis said. “I have
had doctors calling me from all
University
uncertain
on fuel
By United Press International
University of Georgia Presi
dent Fred C. Davison said
Tuesday the school faces “crit
ical uncertainty” with regard to
its fuel supply, and ordered
conservation steps to deal with
the impending shortage.
Davison said the university
faces a 10 per cent cutback in
fuel oil needed to heat its
buildings this year, in spite of
a 5 per cent increase in use of
building and office space.
Ken Jordan, director of the
university’s physical plant, said
the university has 642,000 gal
lons of fuel oil under contract,
but that delivery of that amount
is not certain. He said the
federal fuel allocation program
is expected to cut the univer
sity’s allotment to about 590,-
000 gallons, or about the
amount received last year.
Davison, with the endorse
ment of the school’s academic
affairs committee, ordered
these measures:
—Reduction of thermostats to
68 degrees in all buildings, and
a ban on the use of electric
heaters except when normal
heating systems are not work
ing.
—Reduction of nighttime and
weekend temperatures in uni
versity buildings to 60 degrees,
except those which are used for
weekend and nighttime instruc
tion or research.
—Reduction of the tempera
ture of the domestic hot water
supply to 130 degrees from
about 160 to 170 degrees.
—A 50-mile-an-hour speed
limit for all university vehicles.
—Turning off as many lights
as possible in hallways and
other public places.
—Closing the university on
Dec. 31. Normal Christmas hol
idays will be observed, and the
university will reopen Jan. 2.
Individual departments were
also asked to move toward a
shorter work day, by taking
half an hour instead of an hour
for lunch.
Harry Murphy, director of
public information for the state
Board of Regents, said all
schools in the university system
had been instructed to appoint
an energy conservation officer,
or energy task force, to coordi
nate conservation efforts with
the regents’ central office.
He said the schools have
been instructed to draw up
plans for conserving energy on
their campuses, and to also
draw up contingency plans.
He said distributors have been
told to apply for adjustments in
view of the mandatory alloca
tions based on the 1972 useage.
“Unfortunately, an over in
terpretation of the regulations
has resulted in thousands of
individuals advising this office
that they were told by fuel
distributors that they could not
receive the product because
they were not a customer of
record in November of 1972,”
Carr said. “This is not the
case.” , ,
Carr, a spokesman for the
OPA southeastern regional of
fice here, said that about 10
per cent of the homes in the
eight-state region use heating
oil. There have been an esti
mated 500,000 new homes built
in the Southeast since last
November, and an estimated
50,000 of these homes will use
heating oil. He said these new
customers can be picked up by
distributors.

Talmadge
says disarm
‘foolish’
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen.
Herman Talmadge, D-Ga., said
Tuesday it would be “foolish
thinking” to unilaterally disarm
the country as some in
Congress want to do.
In an interview taped for
broadcast use, Talmadge said
the Soviet Union has more men
in the armed forces and
more tanks, planes, subma
rines and anti-ballistic missiles
than America, and that the Red
Chinese are rapidly developing
nuclear power.
“Under those conditions, it
would be foolhardy in “he
extreme to unilaterally disarm
our country. The only sure road
to peace is an adequate mili
tary defense.”

probably have had surgery and
been hospitalized about a week
if the gastroscope technique
had not been used. As it was,
he went home the same day the
coin was retrieved, about 10
days ago.
Davis said the pediatric
gastroscope was intended as a
diagnostic instrument and was
developed by the Olympus Corp,
of America of New York,
The gastroscope is made up
of a bundle of flexible glass
fibers which permit the doctor
to examine the stomach
interior. The tiny wire used for
retrieving the coin was inserted
through the hollow interior of
the gastroscope.
“The coin had been there
about five weeks,” the doctor
said, “and it was causing
some abdominal discomfort.
There was one corroded area
in the stomach wall.”
Davis said if the child had
swallowed an older coin with a
larger amount of silver, it
probably could have been re
trieved with a magnet device.
Unfortunately, the newer coins
are mostly copper.
