Energy options sought as fuel shortages probe widens
Washington lawmakers launch a joint inquiry into gasoline shortages and pricing while considering a weekly car-off day proposal to curb consumption. Rep. Eckhardt and Rep. Dingell say public doubt rivals 1973 embargo fears as hearings focus on West Coast gas issues and potential spread east. A cap on weekly sales and windshield stickers would enforce the plan, with White House and leaders backing.

Christoff asks Maryland court for new trial over FCC case
Attorneys for Dr. Patrick Leo Christoff petition the Maryland Court of Special Appeals for a new trial over enrollment padding at Frederick Community College. They argue the June 1978 circuit court proceedings were manifestly unfair and that Christoff was denied a chance to present his side. The defense asserts he acted under orders from FCC president Lewis W. Stephens and contends the trial did not address his criminal intent. The appeals panel will decide within 60 days.
