Senate rejects bid to lift lid on natural gas
The Senate rejected removing federal price controls on natural gas, warning the move would hurt homeowners and industry this winter. Senators Fannin Bartlett argued for decontrol as a way to spur production, while Glenn and Hollings backed a compromise plan extending some controls to ensure winter gas allocation. The vote sets up a major floor fight over the Pearson Bentsen substitute.

Firm barred from selling car add-on devices in California
United Press International reports Crown Manufacturing Company Inc was ordered to stop selling or advertising any device altering a vehicle pollution control system without ARB exemption. Orange County Superior Court fined the firm $4,000 in a stipulated judgment. Attorney General Younger and the ARB said Crown marketed a bolt-on turbocharger unit without prior review. The probe into auto add-on ads continues as gas-saving devices gain sales.

Rehearing denied on natural gas rate hike
The California Public Utilities Commission refused rehearings on a contentious natural gas deal between Southern California Gas and Atlantic Richfield. The pact, approved Aug 1, funds Arco’s $420 million loans for Alaskan gas development, granting SCG 60 percent of future gas, with ratepayers bearing about $2.50 monthly for interest via surcharges. The commission said no good cause existed for another hearing but reiterated opposition to the FPC advance payment program, noting it was approved out of necessity to secure California gas supply. The FPC will hear arguments Oct 23 in Washington to challenge the pact.
