Ford insiders say summer gas ok but gas pinch may hit fall
President Ford's spokesman says there will be no gasoline shortage for motorists this summer, but natural gas will be scarce in fall and winter. Press secretary Ron Nessen cites a meeting with energy advisers noting no summer shortage, yet states like New Jersey and Ohio will face serious natural gas shortages later this year. The shortage is said to be largely manmade and tied to federal price regulation, with propane possible as a substitute this winter.
