Gasoline Prices To Continue Up
New York reports gasoline prices rose late last month and are expected to continue climbing through summer. Crude oil and refinery labor costs have increased, the FEA relaxed cost-passing rules, and Lundberg Survey notes wholesale upswings. Analysts predict about a 3 cent yearly rise, with unleaded rising more due to refining costs and rising demand.

Airline complaints up record high in 1976 report
The Civil Aeronautics Board logged a record 16 124 consumer complaints in 1976 up 35 percent from 1975 with issues ranging from delayed flights baggage handling overbooking and price plan confusion. The CAB noted not all complaints reflect actual service quality and many grievances are filed with airlines rather than the board. A separate brief notes a 21 year old man was jailed in Erie County for theft and conspiracy after allegedly stealing a 3800 money bag from Patricia Cochran's apartment.
