Subpoenaed oil industry records were opened today for federal grand jury review as part of a study of oil price increases. Judge Albert V. Bryant would decide if the inquiry uses a regular or a special full time grand jury. The Justice Department seeks to determine if intercompany agreements boosted prices.
