Tower says leadership rocky in Carter oil row
Senator John Tower says the Carter White House has not adequately consulted Congress on energy policy. He plans to introduce a bill by June 1, 1979 to decontrol crude oil prices. Rep. Bob Krueger doubts Congress will reopen the oil pricing debate and suggests modifying the tax plan with producer plowback. Krueger criticizes White House spokesmen over gas decontrol figures. Tower agrees with Senate Leader Byrd that Carter should cool reactions to Congress.

Lo-Vaca seeks higher gas cost pass through and spread
Lo-Vaca Gathering Co. asks the Texas Railroad Commission for final rate approval to keep 100 percent reimbursement of gas costs plus a spread of 16.7 cents per thousand cubic feet for other expenses. Officials say current pass through has been in effect since September 1973 and would raise bills modestly. President Bill Greehey notes sales are regulated and the requested spread is smaller than among rivals.
