Most everyone is aware of the
threatened fuel shortage at the
present time, and the possibility
of it growing even more serious
during the winter months.
Last week the most Important
legislation considered by the
House was an across-the-board
Mandatory Fuel Allocation bill.
Certainly this will not increase
the overall supply of oil, but it is
hoped that it will make an
equitable distribution to provide
that the country shares the
burden of the fuel shortages
rom every part of the
District in recent months we
have had calls from dealers
whose supplies have been
curtailed by certain oil com
panies. So, the bill approved by
the House coveres all rained
troleum products including
lome heating oil.
Also in the bill was a provision
that would allow service
stations to automatically pass

on any rise in whtdesale prices
to the consumer, something
they are prohibited from doing
at the present time and a
provision which has caused a
great deai of consternation to
service station operators.
This legislation was opposed
by Congressmen from the oU
producing states, such as
Texas, Oklahoma and
Louisiana. The allocation
directs the President to give top
(HTiority to such essential ser
vices as hospitals, utilities,
nuBS transit, food production
and mail delivery in dravring up
the distribution plans.
The Senate had passed
similar legislation, and the bill
will now go to a Conference
Committee of both House and
Senate members, and there is
still a strong possibility that in
the final analysis, as much as
this legislation is needed, that
the President will veto same.
StQl (Ml the subject of fuel
shortages, last week the House
and S^te conferees reached a
tentative agreement on the
Alaskan Oil Pipeline which will
permit its immediate con
struction.
Since our iast repiMrt. the
President has nominated the
Republican House Leader,
Gerald R. Ford, as Vice
President of the United States.
This came as no surprise to
those of us here in Washington
and, in retrospect, it would
probably the most popular,
choice that the President could
have made as it concerns the
Congress.
Of course, both the House and
Senate must by a majority vote
confirm the nomination. I am
taking the adamant position
that in spite of his i^rsonal
popularity the House and
Senate committees should
make an exhaustive and in
tensive examination of his
political and private life, for
should there be any
irregularities, it would be far
better for this nation and the
Congress to be cognizant of
them before his final election.
This unfortunate incident
involving Vice President Agnew
strengthens my conviction that
we ne^ a Natimial Presidential
and Vice Presidential Primary
where the Vice Presidential
candidate will come under
ptiblic scrutiny and be elected
by the people, and not at the
discretion of the I^esidenUal
candidate and his Party.

Harking back to the days when
Rome ruied North Africa, Alger

an old word for Roman.
