Pittsburgh AP report quotes Gulf Oil chair Jerry McAfee predicting a 10 percent crude price rise would hardly shake the world economy. He doubts OPEC will raise prices much beyond 10 percent and says even a 19 percent spike would not force steep further increases in 1877.

Regional G I Bill Discrimination Report Alleges Unequal Benefits

The flat monthly stipend of 292 dollars for single vets is highlighted, with estimates that geography limits educational access and living costs for Vietnam era veterans.
