Price of gas may hit 60 cents
Washington reports indicate Congress may be asked to authorize a gasoline tax hike to raise prices toward 60 cents a gallon. President Nixon expected to announce a new Federal Energy Administration led by William E. Simon, with Senate action on year round daylight saving time to conserve fuel. Simon, still Treasury secretary, backs tax to curb consumption as energy emergency plans churn. John A. Love resigned as head of the Energy Emergency Action Group amid turmoil, with deputy Charles NiBona also leaving. Love told the Denver Post the effort has lacked progress and access to the President.
