Public Service Commission urged to probe gas firm ties to campaigns
Marguerite Segretti, Clark County Democratic chairman, called for a PSC investigation into Southwest Gas Corp alleging use of ratepayer funds for political purposes. She linked building renovations used as campaign HQ for President Ford and Towell to a multimillion dollar rate increase sought by Southwest Gas. Segretti named William Laub, Southwest Gas president, as a national Republican committee member and noted Alex Sample’s role as a director. She questioned who paid for building orders and whether proper licensing was used. Laub declined comment.

Oil prices seen rising 1.8 dollars per barrel with OPEC hike
Gulf Oil President James Lee warned a 15 percent rise in crude could lift gasoline by about two cents a gallon, while stressing a $1 per gallon price is unlikely in 1977 unless new taxes are imposed. He urged a moderate increase and urged an energy policy. Separately, three new Culinary and Bartenders Union Pension Trust trustees probe $19 million in loans to Morris Shenker, Murrieta Hot Springs, and Sierra Charter, seeking audits amid missing funds questions.
