Energy Shortage Not Result Of Conspiracy
Rep. Jim Martin of North Carolina told the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce the energy crisis stems from demand outpacing production and imports, not a conspiracy by monopolists or environmentalists.

Welfare Board Adopts Rules to Recoup Welfare Losses
The State Board of Welfare and Institutions approved procedures for local agencies to reclaim overpayments and to compensate underpaid clients. Overpayments may be recouped only when the agency is at fault, and only for six months prior to discovery. Clients with sole welfare income face 10 percent deductions for up to 12 months. Underpayments require agencies to pay prior six months. HEW ordered Virginia to stop overpayments after finding 10.8 million in errors over 18 months ending 1971.

Flame of Hope Goes Out in Oceana Navy Flame
At Oceana Naval Air Station Virginia Beach the flame of hope honoring prisoners and missing in Southeast Asia was extinguished due to energy shortages and replaced by a brass reproduction.

A Navy fuel experiment using coal-derived oil is being tested to cut oil use, with the Johnston destroyer first to trial synthetic fuel and plans to expand to half fleet consumption in a decade.
