The National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals calls for treating most criminals leniently, reserving prisons for hard core offenders, and expanding rehabilitation while granting inmates nearly full civil rights. The two year study, funded by a 1.75 million federal grant, argues incarceration fails to deter crime and recidivism remains high. President Nixon, by contrast, pressed for a tougher federal code.

Oil Pricing System Confuses Producers
The two tier pricing system for old and new oil in the United States raises confusion for refineries and small producers. Mid-America Refining owner Justus O Reilly notes the posted price for old oil remains 4.35 per barrel while new oil can float at 5.48 per barrel, with 99 barrels purchased at the posted price and 20 at the newer rate. The system appears to stimulate production but creates heavy bookkeeping as Mid-America tracks oil from 565 leases and records September 1972 barrels to determine allocations.
