Until the establishment of the Clermont County Consortium power funds were administered at the state level and the CAO was the subcontractor for the programs Last year the commissioners at- tempted to wrest control of these programs from the CAO Two power units ruled in favor of the commissioners but a state-level evaluation placed the programs back under the jurisdiction With the coming of the

latest actions to force up petroleum prices but cannot guarantee the votes to substitute their own energy program As a result of the President's action announced in a national broadcast Tuesday night the price of gasoline is expected to increase by at least 1.5 cents a gallon in early summer And if Ford has his way the price would climb another six cents or more over the next 18 to 24 months The President chided Congress for failing to approve a broad energy program as he recommended in his State of the Union message last January Therefore Ford said he a second tariff on imported oil effective June 1 Although the tariff is aimed at reducing consumption of foreign oil the extra dollar like the previous tariff also is likely to be added by oil companies to the price of the 40 per cent of domestic oil production that is exempt from price controls This could mean an extra million a month in oil company profits reflecting both dollar increments Ford also has proposed a windfall profits tax on oil producers Levy a tariff on imported petroleum products such as gasoline and heating oil also effective on June 1 The effects of this increase will be felt most in Hawaii and on the East Coast which are heavily dent on oil refined abroad to Congress next month a plan for removing federal controls from domestic oil prices probably over the next 18 to 24 months Such a move which could be blocked by Congress would raise consumer prices for petroleum products by at least six cents a gallon In addition Ford administration officials say they expect the Organization of Oil Exporting tries to raise the cost of their petroleum products by 10 to 15 per cent this autumn Such a boost would add another 1 to cents to a gallon of gasoline Ford said he had delayed the tariff increases in March and April after congressional leaders had promised to come up with a congressional energy Sent To Prison For Grand Theft Paul White Greenfield has been sentenced to years in the Ohio Reformatory on a charge stemming from a June 26 1974 robbery in Greenfield White pleaded guilty to grand theft and a charge of armed robbery was dropped program better than mine but they didn't Declaring that Congress had done nothing on energy legislation Ford picked up a calendar and ripped off pages for the months of February March April and May to dramatize his point that Congress had four months to develop an alternative program but failed The Congress cannot drift dawdle and debate forever with America's Ford said Ruling Eyed COLUMBUS Ohio AP The American Civil Liberties Union says the U.S Supreme Court ruling against Ohio's controversial law providing financial aid for nonpublic schools should not mean the ruination of school systems Benson Wolman executive director of the Ohio ACLU chapter mended private contributions for the maintenance of religious and non- sectarian private education I'm hoping this Supreme Court decision will signal the word for people to give more privately whether they have children enrolled in nonpublic schools or not I do think it is important that persons be advised that it is desirable to preserve alternative forms of education in our society Wolman said his organization which filed the original suit was pleased the Supreme Court decided to uphold the principles of separation of church and state in Ohio f Sparky Anderson Seeks Win
