Energy Contingent Actions Across Regions Spark Fuel Debates
About 100 tractor trailers blocked Interstate 80 near Blakeslee Pa in protests against the 55 mph speed limit and diesel costs while 12 trucks blocked 184 along the Connecticut New York line. The House passed a 55 mph nationwide limit bill sent to the Senate as a study group urged Nixon to ration gasoline immediately. Chairman Stein suggested higher prices could cut driving and the Agriculture Department reported isolated diesel shortages in several states.

No whey to close an audit on whey plant contract
State Auditor Alexander Acebo says he has not closed the audit of a high paid consultant to the whey pollution abatement authority because the consultant Henry McAvoy has not provided information requested by the Emergency Board. McAvoy was asked a month ago about turning over more details on services amid a $533 000 contract for planning a whey plant in Georgia. Acebo warned he may seek a subpoena through the attorney general if the information is not provided. The whey plant aims to repurpose dairy byproducts to fight water pollution.
