Oil stockpiling and fuel shortages prompt government scrutiny
J B Scanlin president of Pace says oil shortages have led to stockpiling and idle tank cars. The firm stores about 23 million barrels at tank farms, up from 18 million, with 3 800 idle cars a year ago now down to 700. Officials say no regulations broken but monitor corporate reserves as smaller companies fear competition. Separate items note Israel aid grants and the transfer of petroleum controls to the Federal Energy Office amid an excess profits tax debate.

IRS Kept Watch On Nixon Friends Says IRS Official
Roger V. Barth a deputy chief counsel of the IRS said the agency has informed the White House about sensitive tax cases involving Nixon associates since at least 1963. He argued the practice is a good idea and one way the system works, provided the White House does not direct the IRS to halt investigations. The practice centers on keeping the White House advised to avoid embarrassments from tax troubles among potential appointees.
