White House energy chief James Schlesinger says emergency shipments from foreign producers and western states should prevent east of the Rockies from freezing this winter. Recovery from the gas crisis will be slow, with conservation still vital, even as bitter cold eases. Federal Power Commission cleared shipments from Mexico and Algeria and transfers from Texas and California to the Southeast, aiding states from Alabama to New York.
