South Central Bell urged families to plan ahead for overseas holiday calls to service members in Vietnam. Pat Regan said calls from the U S to Vietnam are hard to arrange quickly due to duty schedules but coordinated efforts with the U S C military and Bell System ease contact. Last year about 1 500 calls daily were completed from Vietnam using U S O centers and base facilities to reach homes.

President Nixon moved to ease fuel shortages by letting importers use 1973 allocations immediately and lifting Virgin Islands refined product limits. Interim allocations may boost eastern U S supply to above 1972 levels, with possible extra Virgin Islands shipments of up to 35 000 barrels daily. High cold weather drives urgency nationwide.
