A top official, in California with Nixon after Christmas, noted the shift in approach. The NYT also reports a police corruption study showing extortion by groups of officers has declined, while individual drug involvement allegations rise and a culture of inaction against corruption endures.

Fuel Rationing Rules Revised For Airlines And Propane Gas
Simon revises aviation fuel rules placing 95 percent of 1972 usage on major airlines while regional carriers receive full 1972 allocations. Propane and butane distribution simplified to three stages prioritizing petrochemicals, traditional LPG markets, then gasoline blending. Emergency services and energy producers receive priority in middle distillates. Defense allocations reduced to current requirements with presidential review. A standby gasoline rationing system is ordered, with three months of coupons prepared, while six weeks delay on actual rationing. Canadian crude export tax may triple by Feb 1 due to price hikes. Nixon aides call his commercial flight a success as a fuel conservation symbol.
