December starts mild with sunny to partly cloudy weather and highs in the 50s. Lows near 30s tonight and light easterly winds forecast by the National Weather Service. Sunday through Tuesday expect 40s then upper 30s with highs in the 50s to low 60s. A previous morning low was -46 degrees and Thursday’s high followed. An informed source said a high gasoline tax may not pass fast enough to solve the fuel shortage, leaning toward rationing though Nixon opposes peacetime rationing. Contingency plans for rationing were drafted as Stein warned of a near recession next year with unemployment rising toward 6 percent and higher fuel prices. The White House confirmed plans but no decision yet.
