Rival plans stall energy department idea in Congress
Congressional leaders back a Cabinet level Energy Department but face deep clashes over which programs to include. Carter aides push to reorg energy agencies, while rival plans, split oversight and regulatory aims, complicate a swift bill. Schlesinger may head the new department as Congress weighs the scope and structure amid energy shortages and gas allocation debates.

Split in Georgia race could push Young seat to GOP
ATLANTA AP Fragmentation of a coalition that helped make Andrew Young the Deep South's first black congressman may return his Georgia 5th District seat to a white Republican. The field of Democrats and Republicans for the post after Young's expected UN ambassador confirmation includes Ralph Abernathy Marjorie Thurman John Lewis and Billy McKinney. The contest risks a split vote that could favor Paul Cover Gell and complicates energy department reorganization plans amid debates over whether to fold federal energy regulators into a single agency.

Lipshutz resigns from private club over discrimination
White House Counsel Robert Lipshutz said he resigned Saturday from a long-time private club that discriminated against blacks and had few non Jewish members. He cited not wanting to condone discrimination and noted others like Griffin Bell and Bert Lance had also left exclusive clubs. Lipshutz spoke on CBS Face the Nation and called for a review of Watergate sentences. He contrasted Carter appointees from different regions and said cabinet members’ reports would be released through the Civil Service Commission. A review of Vietnam era deserters and those with less than honorable discharges was expected to begin with a recommendation soon.
