Stations Feel Pinch Of Gasoline Shortage
By The Associated Press
Three service stations in upstate New York are open for repair work, but they won't sell any gasoline. In Florida, a chain limits sales to 10 gallons a customer.
Independent service station operators are feeling the pinch of the nationwide gasoline shortage. Unable to get enough to meet demand, some are rationing gas, some are closing.
For the motorist, the shortage means higher gasoline prices. The Oil Daily's weekly survey of 100 cities last week showed that the average price of major brand regular gasoline was 28 cents a gallon before taxes. Last year it was 22% cents.
The shortage has been attributed to a number of factors, including the shortage of refineries and the winter energy crisis that forced refineries to concentrate on
News Briefs By the Associated Press Minesweeping
TOKYO-Hanoi reported today that the U.S. Navy has halted its minesweeping operations in North Vietnamese waters without explanation. A Foreign Ministry spokesman said the American clearance of the mines which Navy planes sowed last year stopped on Tuesday, and the U.S. Marine Corps operations withdrew from the area, a broadcast by the official Vietnam News Agency reported.
The Foreign Ministry "wigorously denounced before world opinion this violation of the Paris accord by the government of the United States." It demanded that the United States continue to allow the mines to remove the mines it sowed in North Vietnam's waters and "seriously apply" all the provisions of the Paris cease-fire agreement.
High Court
WASHINGTON - A unanimous Supreme Court told the states Wednesday they were free to hold shipers financially responsible for harm done by oil spills. The high court approved a tough Florida law—tougher than applicable federal law—that covers damages incurred while drilling or drilling for oil, as well as spills from the state's territorial waters. Shippers have threatened to divert their vessels from Florida waters because of the state's law.
Ellsburg Trial
LOS ANGELES-Daniel Elsberg told jurors Wednesday that the Pentagon papers reveal possible American war crimes in Afghanistan. There were about 1,000 pages of evidence of attack on the Pentagon study of the Vietnam war. He has admitted that he copied the documents in hope they would alert Congress of the need to re-examine the 1964-85 period." Elsberg said, "in the case of evidence of direct operations against North Vietnam, a country not at war with us."
Senate Refusal

TOPEKA-The Kansas Senate rejected Wednesday Gov. Robert Dockling's reappointments of Robert F. Brandt to be secretary of administration and Kenneth R. McLain to be state architect, and drew a stink rebuke from the governor, who held a press conference regarding the refusal of the Republican controlled Senate to confirm Brandt and McLain was the first such rejection of Dockling's appointments to such major executive positions.
The Georgia Independent Oilmen's Association estimated Wednesday that more than 100 of the state's 1,000 independ- dents chose this weekend because of a lack of fuel.
Detroit officials say the city may have to pay as much as $1 million more than they are paying now because they can't make adequate bulk purchases. In Texas, two firms have filed separate suits against Shell over bulk purchase contracts.
The 11 Sears and Roebuck gas stations in southern Florida and Montgomery Ward in Baltimore have limited customers to 10-gallon purchases.
"For the first time in history, except during the war years, we have no assurance that future fuel needs will be met—and the future is right around the corner," said a spokesman for Commercial Motor Freight, the largest trucker in Ohio.
The major fuel companies have indicated they don't expect shortage for their own design.
"Our information is that we can meet our obligations at this point in time, but with the tight supply we don't know how long we will be able to fulfill our obligation," said a spokesman for Atlantic Richfield Co.

SAIGON (AP)—Despite planned reforms in the Cambodian government, North Vietnam made clear in a Radio Hanoi broadcast Wednesday that there could be no progress to peace until President Lon Nol stepped down.
Outstanding Educations of America is an annual awards program that honors hard-working men and women for their exceptional achievements and leadership in education.
Lon Nol's Resignation Demanded
Each year, the selected educators are featured in the national awards volume *Teaching Excellence*.
U. S. sources said the United States pressured Lon Nol into agreeing to form a new government to include opposition elements. President Nixon was reported to have sent word that this was his wish with special emissary, Gen. Alexander M. Haig Jr. Haig visited Phnom Penh last week and conferred with Lon Nol.
Commenting on Lon Nol's announced plans to form a new government that would include members of opposition parties, Radio Hanoi said the reorganization "is aimed at settling internal conflicts of the Lon Nol puppet government, which is deteriorating while confronted with greater and greater military and political defeats."
"Under American pressure" Hanoi continued, "Lon Mol has been forced to introduce a number of so-called opposition groups that it may have a 'broader political base.'
Official Washington sources remained optimistic that the reorganization might encourage cease-fire talks, but observers in Poiah tended to support the Hanoi position.
Nominations for the awards are made by college officials. Nominations are based on classroom teaching ability, research experience, and service to the civic service and professional recognition.
The Radio Hanoi statements indicated that Cambodian insurgents would continue a military drive in hopes of forcing Lon Nol out.
However reformed it may be, the Lion not puppet government still remain an insignificant threat.
The Cambodian situation appeared to be a playback of Vietnam. The Communists had accused the United States of continuing to victimize the war. For nearly five years they were in the midst of a campaign that refused to deal with the Sasgon regime of President Nguyen Van Thieu.
Lon Nol said in a radio address Tuesday night that he would choose a new prime minister and would appoint 11 permanent political figures from his party and two opposition parties to form a council of political advisers.
Like the Thieu government, the Lon Mon régime has been criticized for being distant from the public.
Informed sources said Wednesday that Lon Nol postponed formation of a new
On the battlefields, the military command reported that Cambodian troops drove back an attack on a garrison at Tram Khnar, 37 miles south of Phnom Penh.
