Carter plans to fight energy foes
WASHINGTON (AP)—President Jimmy Carter said yesterday he planned to move quickly and personally to protect his embattled energy program from an oil and gas industry he compares to potential war profiteers.
In a nationally broadcast news conference yesterday, Carter said he feared industry efforts to end federal controls that regulate the oil and gas industry and turn into "the biggest rip-off in history."
Because of a major assault in the Senate against his top-priority energy legislation,
I am going to devote most of my time the next few weeks, trying to make sure we have a good week.
Oil and gas companies renced defen-
dation and with muted anger to Carter's
squash.
"The President has made an emotional appeal to defend a tax program that is not defensible," said John E. Sewaringen, vice president of Indiana, six-largest U.S. oil company.
"I's a damn severe attack," said a spokesman for Shell Oil Co. the seventh-highest employer in the state.
- That a tax cut would be part of his promised tax revision package but that "we won't really know until about January or before" it might be needed to stimulate the economy.
- Although energy was the dominant news conference toic, Carter also said:
- That he thought the language of the treaty was adequate but that he and Panamanian leader Omar Torrijos would meet here today "to make sure that we have a common understanding on what the treaty is and may may not issue some clarification statement."

- That within a few days the administration might announce its support of the Humphrey-Hawkins bill, designed to promote full employment.

ABU DHAIBL. United Arab Emirates - A West German jet hijacked with 92 persons aboard, including 11 West German beauty queens, made three refueling stops in the Mediterranean and Middle East and then landed in neighboring Dubai this morning.
The Arabic-speaking hijackers demanded
In opening the news conference, Carter volunteered a reminder he had termed the energy problem "the moral equivalent of war," when he unveiled his proposals last April. He said he hasn't changed that opinion, and added:
Dubai airport officials said the hijackers demanded that the Lufthansa Boeing 737 be
refuiled for an onward flight. The plane was hijacked over the French Riviera and was flown to the United Arab Emirates after a 1%-stop in the Persian Gulf Island emirate of Bahrain, 250 miles northwest of here. Among the passengers were the beauty queens, who had won free trips to Palma de Mallorca, an island resort.
the release of "comrades" in West German prisons. Officials said the terrorists had guns and during an earlier refusing stop in Cyprus they had threatened to blow up the plane and hostages unless they were given fuel for another takeoff.
But as is the case in time of war, there is potential war profiteering in the impending crisis. This could develop with the passing months as the biggest rip-off in history."
Defending his own proposals as balanced and fair, with insurance that "the American people are not robbed," the President said the proposals offered oil companies adequate incentives to explore for new supplies.
"But the oil companies apparently want it all," he said.
Asked whether he would consider rationing or imposing an oil import tax if his legislation is rejected, Carter said, "We are considering all those options."
