The White House faces higher fuel costs from a deep cold snap which could raise rebates from 50 per person. Charles L. Schultze says weather may require adjusting the $31.2 billion stimulus. Carter’s plan chairs a $11.4 billion rebate portion. Treasury and Congress debate, with AFL-CIO pressing a larger stimulus focusing on jobs and public works while Republicans urge broader cuts.
