Rural fuel crisis pits farmers against Carter energy plan
Midwestern lawmakers pressed President Carter to boost diesel for farmers as refineries shift output to gasoline raising concerns of idle tractors and irrigation pumps during planting.

Opposition To Lifting Of Price Curbs
House Democrats oppose President Carter's move to lift price controls on domestically produced oil. A caucus resolution supported continued controls after rejecting a White House compromise to keep curbs until a windfall profits tax passes. The vote marks a rebuff to Carter's push for lower oil imports via higher domestic production.
