Short Line Maintains Schedule Amid Fuel Shortage in New Jersey
Short Line bus system keeps normal passenger runs across Orange, Rockland, Sullivan counties and parts of upstate New York and New Jersey despite a fuel shortage. President Barnett Rubin cites fuel conservation measures since January, new fuel injectors, and stricter non revenue trips as saving about five percent. Diesel fuel helps offset gasoline shortages, while costs have risen 35 percent over the last year.

Buckley calls for federal probe into record industry
New York Senator James Buckley urged a broad federal inquiry into drugs and sex in the record industry, mob influence, and possible coverups raising a corporate Watergate risk. He asked the FCC, White House policy office, the attorney general, and Senate subcommittee to investigate. He cited William Safire’s charge that hard drugs are the industry currency and warned against white collar crime double standards. Buckley noted concerns about the drug orientation of rock music and the impact on youth after Clive Davis’s firing and a Newark grand jury probe.
