Rockefeller Intervened With Ford On New York Aid
Vice President Rockefeller said to have told President Ford that New York State could help with the city’s fiscal problems during a May White House meeting with Mayor Beame and Gov. Carey. Ford rejected a $1.5 billion emergency aid request, saying help should come from New York State. Rockefeller disputed being involved to gain advantage, noting he spoke up to correct information and that New York’s capacity to lend assistance exists.

Vacation Gas Prices Likely to Rise This Summer
Federal energy officials say gasoline supply remains ample through summer despite higher prices. Retail costs are set to increase in stages due to President Ford’s oil import fee and a floating oil price plan, with possible further gains if world prices rise. A 24 dollar per barrel area forecast could push Persian Gulf prices above 13 dollars, while shortages remain unlikely unless a new embargo occurs.
