FTC OKS Higher Natural Gas Rates for Southwest Midwest
The Federal Power Commission approves a new rate schedule raising wellhead prices for gas from the Permian Basin and other areas. Ceiling prices rise from 16.5 to 35 cents per 1 000 cubic feet for contracts after Oct 1 1968 and from 14.5 to 23 cents for earlier contracts. The ruling aims to ease pipeline curtailments and maintain service, though effects on consumer prices remain uncertain.

Agnew Holds News Conference as Investigation Continues
Vice President Spiro T. Agnew held a mid afternoon news conference amid reports he is under investigation for an alleged kickback scheme. The White House said the probe is not a reason for the President to lose confidence in Agnew. Deputy Press Secretary Warren said it would be inappropriate to comment on the Maryland investigation. Nixon and Agnew met for more than an hour in the White House executive offices.
