Dingell outlines new gas rationing plan to ease shortages
Rep. John Dingell says a proposed gasoline rationing approach by House Democrats could curb summer shortages. The plan tentatively limits purchases and may require motorists to skip driving one day a week. He warns the shortage is real and lengthy and says measures to distribute supplies more evenly help. In London, QE2 owners report fuel costs rising from 2 million to 16 million dollars annually.

Weicker withdraws from presidential race in Hartford
Connecticut Senator Lowell Weicker abruptly left the GOP presidential race two months after announcing his candidacy. He cited recent polling showing low support in his home state, saying he did not want to mislead volunteers or contributors. The surprise move followed a 20 minute talk with a Texas editor and came on his 48th birthday. Heiker pressured by Ford and Reagan polling led to the exit.
