Carter SS revenue plan faces Senate tax hurdles
Senate Finance Committee chair said he cannot fully back the Carter administration plan to shift four billion in social security funds and reserves to cover deficits. He supports a broad tax approach, noting a value added tax could be considered while urging provisions to protect lower earners. He sees a balanced budget goal possible without new revenue if reforms are carefully designed.

High court narrows antitrust limits on exclusive territories
The Supreme Court ruled that manufacturers may divide markets among retailers without automatically violating antitrust laws. The decision makes it harder for government or plaintiffs to challenge deals granting exclusive territorial franchises. The case involved GTE Sylvania and its exclusive stores, echoing the 1967 Arnold, Schwinn ruling on resale restraints.

Probe set in oil trade competition practices
The Justice Department antitrust division investigates possible anticompetitive practices in the international crude oil trade. Acting chief John H. Shenefield said the inquiry targets production limits and Arab nation owned firms undercutting world prices, with results expected in about a month. The probe also covers effects of international joint ventures and steps toward divesting some oil pipelines. Three temporary rock dams would be built in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to reduce salinity and save water, sent to Gov. Brown.
