The National Weather Service
has come up with what may
prove to be its most closely
watched forecast—a broad
brush picture of where it will
be warmer and where it will be
cold this winter.
The difference will mean
shivers or warmth for Ameri
cans faced with a shortage of
heating fuel that threatens to
last until the spring.
In short, the service forecast
warmer temperatures in the
Midwest and most of the South
and Southwest and colder than
average readings for the West
Coast and the Northern Great
Plains. Temperatures for the
East Coast, the Central Great
Plains and Southern California
were expected to go either way.
A spokesman for the agency
called the December-February
forecast “highly speculative”
and noted that while similar
reports have been prepared for
the last 15 years for use by
government agencies, they
have not been made public
because they were “considered
too marginal in reliability for

Public Interest Intense
They were announced this
year because of intense public
interest, he said.
There were these other
developments:
—The Arab oil-producing
nations moved at their summit
in Algiers to classify their
customers as friendly, hostile
or neutral and supply them
accordingly. Their oil embargo
against the United States and
the Netherlands, whom they
have cut off for being allies of
Israel, was extended to the
white regimes of South Africa
and Rhodesia, and to Portugal,
which has territories in Africa.
—The Interior Department
gave the green light for initial
development of shale oil depos
its in Utah, Wyoming and
Colorado. Secretary Rogers C.
B. Morton also said he is ready
to issue a right-of-way permit
for the trans-Alaska pipeline,
but he warned that neither
possible source would provide
any fuel in time to help relieve
the current shortage.

Carter urges policy
on national energy
By GEORGE GUDANSKAS
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Gov.
JimmyCarterWednesday urged
Congress to establish a clear
national policy on the energy
crisis, including the rationing of
try and related concerns in his
state could be laid off if fuel
allocations cut the supply for
aviation by 40 per cent, as has
been suggested.
—The National Safety Council
said the proposed cut in
gasoline supplies and highway
speeds for motorists could save
as many as 14,000 lives.
Rep. Gerald Ford, R-Mich.,
the vice president-designate,
told a meeeting of the
American Life Insurance As
sociation in Washington that
fuel supplies.
“Voluntary allocationsand ap
peals for voluntary conservation
measures are obviously inade
quate,” Carter told a congres
sional subcommittee, “The
“we will lick the energy crisis
and our country will continue to
grow and prosper.”
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, D-
Minn., however, said President
Nixon has not proposed means
to solve the problem that match
the seriousness of the threat as
explained by administration
energy experts.
“...They reported that unless
voluntary conservation and the
mandatory allocation system
works, we are going to have
rationing,” he said.
shortages are permanent — at
least for the next five to eight
years, even if some foreign sup
plies are restored.”
Carter said a clear national
policy is “an absolute neces
sity,” and said it should include
“a comprehensive and unified
system of allocation or ration
ing.”
Maine Gov. Kenneth M. Cur
tis, whose tourist-oriented state
depends almost entirely on pe
troleum products to supply en
ergy, joined Carter’s plea for
national action. Both governors
testified before the subcommit
tee on Environmental, Rural
and Urban Economic Develop
ment of the Senate Select Com
mittee on Small Business. The
subcommittee is trying to assess
the impact of the energy crisis
on the nation’s 8.5 million small
busine ssesand W ednesday ’sses
sion was the second of three
days of hearings.
Carter and Curtis both criti
cized the current approach to
fuel allocation as “highly frag
mented and confused.”
Carter said small business
men, farmers and consumers
are confused and becoming
deeply concerned. “A compre
hensive and clear national
policy established by the Con
gress is an absolute necessity.”
Both governors told the sub
committee that they are unable
to determine the extent of the
energy problem and make plans
for their own states.
Carter called for “an honest
description of present and future
availability of fuel and petro
leum products.”
And each also said that, un
less rationing policies are set
clearly, the “big” will benefit to
the detriment of small business,
farmers and consumers.
“Without your careful over
sight and assistance,” Carter
said, “many of the small busi
nessmen of our nation will surely
suffer severe economic dam
age.”
Leary transferred
FOLSOM, Calif. (UPI) - Dr.
Timothy Leary, 52, the former
Harvard instructor who became
the guru of LSD to the hippie
generation, has been trans
ferred to a minimum security
prison, officials said Wednes
day.
Leary had been held several
months in Folsom Prison, the
state’s maximum security peni
tentiary, but he has been
transferred to the California
Medical Facility at Vacaville.
“He was evaluated and it was
determined that the kind of
security at Folsom was not
needed,” a state Department of
Corrections spokesman said.
Leary, serving a 6-month to 10-
year term for marijuana
possession and also for escape
from San Luis Obispo Prison,
had been tending lawns and
flowers inside Folsom.
