Gas chief warns Vermont will be walking under energy squeeze
VIP Gas Co. president Robert H. Spain accuses the Federal Energy Office of failure to handle the gasoline crisis. He cites 18 stations closed, promises of 280,000 gallons for February unfilled, and warns of continued shortages unless price controls on petroleum are lifted. He argues distribution is flawed and blames high profits, calls for meeting emergency needs, and predicts widespread hardship if controls persist.
