Gas Bill Backers Say Defeat May Cause Shortage
Washington backers of a controversial natural gas bill warned the Senate that its defeat might cause a fuel shortage in the East. The measure would exempt independent gas producers from federal price regulation as Senate debate continued. Democratic splits surfaced with Sen. Fulbright saying controls reduce wells and raise prices, while Monroney argued producers would favor intra state sales to avoid interstate red tape. Opponents say free trading could raise costs for about 30 million gas consumers. Fulbright and Monroney defend safeguards against unreasonable increases. Senator Hennings and Douglas warn the bill benefits a few large corporations producing over 90 percent of the gas, harming the public. Fulbright contends regulation stifles competition and may invite controls on other products.
