Midwest Senators urge mandatory fuel allocations
The Midwest Conference of Democratic Senators urged President Nixon to impose mandatory fuel allocation to curb shortages affecting agriculture and prevent further food price hikes. Republican Sen. Pearson faulted both Nixon and Congress, calling the voluntary program a failure as farmers face limited fuel for machinery. The memo, signed by 12 senators, urged action under authority from April 30, warning that shortages threaten harvests and food supplies. Forecasts show a Sunday to Tuesday chance of thundershowers with temperatures easing from 85–90 to 78–84 highs, 65–70 to 55–65 lows.

Nixon energy actions push conservation and price controls
Nixon agencies buy lighter duty cars for government use and ask aviation boards to cut flights and cruising speeds to save jet fuel. Interior Office studies taxing horsepower or vehicle weight while Nixon urges Congress to ease natural gas price regulation and postpone strict clean air rules to burn more coal. Senator Hart warns of potential gas shortage hoax and seeks rules to curb interstate price increases and mandatory pricing tied to costs.
