Power Commission approves emergency gas sales amid shortages
The Federal Power Commission opened emergency natural gas sales for Houston Pipeline Co to cross state lines to Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line and United Gas Pipe Line. Sales bypass price controls at 2.15 per thousand cubic feet, well above the 1.44 ceiling, amid warnings of unemployment, production declines, and health risks if supplies run short. Governor James Hunt and lawmakers urged action as Watt pressed Congress to adjust the law. Chairman Dunham urged conservation, noting even a one degree drop in homes could save 89 billion cubic feet through March.

The verdict, the mildest charge possible, came after a weeklong Aspen trial where prosecutors sought reckless manslaughter. Longet testified she and Sabich were in love and that the pistol discharged while he demonstrated its use.
