Congress moves toward final action on the first part of the energy program as President Ford plans to propose raising the government controlled price on most U.S. produced oil. Senate hearings begin on gasoline price increases with Frank G. Zarb as first witness. The administration seeks to raise the price ceiling to 13.50 within 30 months to spur conservation and fuel production, while critics push for refunds and faster action. The Senate also set extensions for oil price controls through March 1, 1976, and urged higher fuel efficiency standards for autos to 21 miles per gallon.
