Energy
Administration moves closer
to decision on gas rationing
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The
administration is moving closer
to a decision whether or not to
impose gasoline rationing on
the nation’s 123 million licensed
drivers.
President Nixon’s energy
chief, William E. Simon, said
Sunday he expects to make up
his mind this week whether to
recommend rationing, and he
expects the President to make
his decision by the end of the
year.
A key senator on the energy
problem, Henry M. Jackson, D-
Wash., publicly urged Simon
Sunday to start setting up a
“standby rationing program”
now so that it could be quickly
implemented if it is needed.
“The tickets should be
printed, the procedures set up
so that when a subsequent
review takes place in January
or February he (Simon) will be
able to implement it without
delay,” Jackson said, adding
that he had urged the adminis
tration to make such prepara
tions a year ago.
Jackson was interviewed on
ABC’s “Issues and Answers”;
Simon, on CBS’ “Face the
Nation.”
Jackson is the leader of
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Kathryn
Miller, 25, a stewardess-trainee
for Hughes Air West Airline,
claims she was dropped from
her stewardess class because
she wore this maxi-length
denim jumper skirt and tur
tleneck sweater on a flight. Miss
Miller, of Saratoga, Calif, said
the stewardesses were sup
posed to ride as passengers on
the flight to observe other
passengers and the experienced
stewardesses. She said she had
been told stewardesses were
supposed to be “trend-setters”
in their attire and that she made
the outfit herself and believed it
was trend-setting. (UPI)
Senate conferees who begin
meeting today with conferees
from the House to resolve
differences between bills passed
by the House and Senate to
give President Nixon broad
emergency powers he has
requested to deal with the
energy crisis.
The House version contains a
string of amendments, the net
effect of which Simon says the
administration “just could not
tolerate.” One House amend
ment would give Congress veto
power over any administration
program for gasoline rationing.
Another denies fuel for school
buses used to achieve racial
integration.
Jackson urged Sunday that
the compromise version em
power the President to impose
rationing but at the same time
give each house of Congress a
separate veto, by majority
vote, over “any act on the part
of the President that was
contrary to the best judgement
of the House or Senate.” He
also said final legislation should
give the President power to
take conservation steps such as
restricting unnecessary light
ing.
Jackson said the anti-busing
amendment “has no place in
this bill” and should go.
The Washington Democrat
said he believes gasoline
rationing is the “fairest” way
to cope with the energy crisis,
but he did not rule out a
combination of rationing and a
tax to reduce gasoline con
sumption. He criticized the
administration’s approach,
which he said amounts to
“pushing the price of gasoline
up and up and up so that people
won’t be able to buy it.”
Simon said gasoline prices
will remain under controls, but
these will allow certain higher
costs of producers to be passed
on to consumers. He declined to
predict how high retail gasoline
prices may go, saying there
were several variables.

Crash
Cargo plane had been grounded
MIAMI (UPI) - An official
for an aviation repair firm said
Sunday that a cargo plane
which crashed into a residential
area on takeoff had been
grounded and awaiting repairs
for a month.
The three crewmen aboard
the Ixickheed Super Constella
tion bound for Venezuela with a
load of Christmas trees and
five persons in two homes
perished in the Saturday night
crash.
Richard J. Sekman, head of
Sekman Aviation at Miami
International Airport, said the
plane’s owner requested
“maybe 10 items that he
wanted done that the pilot on
the last trip reported.”
“We just told them when they

brought the airplane in that we
didn’t have the manpower to do
the work. It was parked at our
place for about a month,”
Sekman said.
Federal officials said they
had found no flight recorder
aboard the plane to aid them in
their investigation.
The dead crewmen were
identified by the Federal
Aviation Administration as
Capt. William Fox, of West
Sacramento, Calif., copilot
Jesse Flanders of Miami, and
Right engineer Arthur Kimball,
also of Miami.
The heavy, three-tail cargo
aircraft—first used extensively
as a transcontinental freight
carrier in the 1950 s—was bound
for Caracas with 21,000 pounds
of Canadian Christmas trees
when it crashed moments after
takeoff from Miami Internation
al Airport.
Bundles of Christmas trees
still littered the tree-lined
residential street where the
plane went down.
Mrs. W.C. Taunton, who lives
a block away from the crash,
said she was sleeping when an
explosion woke her up. “I
jumped out of bed and ran
outside and there was the
plane. It was flying so low that
it hid the trees,” Mrs. Taunton
said.
The plane dove through a
house where a family of six
was getting ready for bed.
Minutes later the house was a
mass of blazing rubble.
Manuel Iglesias, 83, a Cuban
immigrant, was sitting in a
chair when it erupted in
flames. Despite third-degree
burns which covered 80 per
cent of his body, the grandfa
ther fought to save his wife
Teresa, 74, his son, Vincente,
41, and his daughter-in-law
Maria Josefa, 38. He was too
late.
Two grandchildren—Vincen
te Jr., 13, and Jose, 12—dove
through a glass window to
safety. They were treated for
cuts and bruises and released.
The old man was in critical
condition at Jackson Memorial
Hospital.
