Carter seen to seek rationing power in fuel embargo
Washington officials say President Carter will propose emergency fuel conservation measures that could be imposed immediately in a new oil embargo. The plan would replace Ford era steps, include a three month rationing coupon system, and preserve five existing, somewhat stricter measures such as heating and cooling limits, commuter restrictions, and weekend fuel distribution limits. It could be applied gradually as needed.

House declines pay rollback and tightens abortion funds
Congress acts on a $12,900 pay raise for members, with Senate adopting language to limit federal abortion funding to medically necessary cases. Aimed at Medicaid abortions, the measure could cut abortions for low income women. The House backs the pay increase amid cost-of-living concerns. Senate and House debates on energy price controls and a consumer protection agency proceed, while saccharin bans face delays.

Abducted Girl Scout Safe? Trail of Clues in Florida Park
A 15-year-old Girl Scout was dragged from a state park campsite before dawn near Sarasota. She called her father from a Pirates spring training camp claiming she was safe, but search teams found no trace of the blue car or the kidnapper.
