650 Gallon Stench Plant Mishap Puts Oil Into Sewers
City officials seek disposal for 650 gallons of fuel oil spilled into the sewer system yesterday. Fire and police agencies canvassed streets and manholes on the south and west sides after fumes alerted residents. Cooper-Penjax officials said a faulty return line on a new boiler allowed oil to enter the sewer, with the plant having recently switched to fuel oil for energy. Authorities continued to investigate the incident and autopsy for a missing Warren State Hospital patient found later in a crawl space.

Simon Seeks 22 Percent Debt Hike to 604 Billion
Treasury Secretary William E. Simon asked Congress for a 22 percent increase in the federal debt ceiling to 604 billion dollars through June 30, 1976, citing rising deficits and revenue shortfalls. He warned the current temporary limit of 495 billion expires March 31 and said the government will exceed it on February 8. Ford pressed for higher oil import tariffs to curb consumption as Ullman moved to block the plan with a 90 day delay.
