Muskie links oil import controls to geographic areas
Senator Edmund Muskie urges tying any relaxation of oil import controls to geographic allocations of foreign crude. He proposes area quotas based on demand and domestic supply, similar to residual fuel oil imports, arguing it would protect independents and regional interests without threatening national security. Muskie notes risk to small producers if controls are removed too quickly.

Burlington Ready for Strike in City Labor Spat
Burlington mayor Francis Cain says the city would be prepared if the 80 member AFL-CIO city employees' union calls a work stoppage though he believes it is not imminent. A state mediator will be called to push negotiations after union rep Warren Olson accused the city of an unreasonable offer. The city holds to a $10 per week salary hike while the union seeks $15. Union members had rejected the city's offer 3-1. Miss Leslie Bell says overtime pay could be a key 1970 legislative issue and possibly a bargaining demand. The administration studies overtime costs with 1969 pay at 1.2 million and a 1965- era rise of 250,000.
