Gas Stations to Install Vapor Recovery Dual Hose System
Motorists will see double as 39 000 service stations nationwide must add a dual hose vapor recovery line by May 1977.

Environmental Protection Agency says stations pumping 25 000 gallons monthly emit about 400 pounds of vapors, exceeding 1976 new car standards.

Tennessee Congressman and Cousin Accused in SBA Scam
Investigative reporting ties Rep. Joe Evins and his cousin James E. Rice to a Small Business Administration program abuse. GAO findings show Rice steering crown contracts through phony minority firms like Superior, Supreme, and Best Services, with millions in federal awards and significant personal profit.
The Way It Was May 17 1733 Molasses Act and Rice’s Firms
The piece alleges the Molasses Act boosted duties on rum and molasses while Rice Worldwide Services levied large management fees, about 15 percent of gross income, with Rice as part owner taking profit cuts. SBA rules clash with Rice’s firms nearing size standards, prompting renewed scrutiny and calls to monitor minority sponsor links, including a congressman's cousin. Evins and Greenberg are cited, with Rice’s continued potential earnings as he divests and the losers being disadvantaged businessmen and taxi operators. Footnotes note Rice and Greenberg avoided comment. Evins says aid was as a constituent and small business advocate.
