Senate seeks Nixon fuel rations authority for crisis
Senator Henry M. Jackson D-Wash says he will push quick passage of a bill giving the president standby power to impose fuel rationing within hours if needed. The plan envisions state policing with federal subsidies and would draw on conservation measures, with a final draft to Senate next week. Lt Gov Ed Reinecke blasts the Nixon plan as a bureaucratic foulup while warning of school closures and crop losses from fuel shortages.

Telephone rates eyed for basic and business plans
If granted in full the basic residential service would rise from 4.80 to about 6.50 dollars a month. Business rates with 80 messages would jump from 6 to 9.25 dollars. The per unit rate would rise from 4.5 to 5.7 cents. A PUC spokesman said a decision likely won’t be made until next spring.

Hill seeks delay on sensitive trade bill next week
Washington dispatch reports Secretary Kissinger agreed to defer consideration of a trade bill in the House for the week of Nov 12. Speaker Albert, Rep Ullman, and other leaders say Nixon would need to resist delaying, with the measure tied to Soviet emigration and MFN status. The bill, already postponed weekly since amid Mideast tensions, would bar Soviet and Communist nations from MFN status unless free emigration is permitted. Vanik amendment would halt future LUL loans to the Soviets until emigration is allowed.
