Energy officials hit gas station gouging
National fuel shortages prompt claims of price gouging and coercive sales tactics by service stations. Officials and industry representatives discuss audits, legal questions, and cases of stations pressuring customers to buy tires, accessories, or food to obtain gasoline. Amid the debate, a critic notes some operators pressure customers despite legality. A separate report highlights energy and conservation efforts and a study on converting wood chips to crude oil, suggesting a broader search for alternative fuels.

Anti draft leaders plan calls to block renewal efforts
In Washington anti draft leaders vow to flood the Senate with phone calls to hinder renewal efforts. The military manpower subcommittee held a closed session to discuss registration legislation that would start registering all males ages 18 to 26 on January 2, 1980 and begin classification in March 1981. The House measure mirrors registration in 1981 but lacks a service classification provision. Both bills stop short of reintroducing the draft.
