Oil cutoffs may cause shortage
WASHINGTON—Government analysts warned yesterday that several more months without Iranian oil could lead to gasoline shortages this summer, the White House said.
President Carter ordered federal agencies to step up fuel-saving efforts to ward off mandatory conservation.
A memo from Carter to agency heads suggested lowering thermostat settings, and reducing use of lights, vehicles and energy consuming research.
An informed administration source said the continued absence of Iranian oil, unless offset by Saudi Arabian production or conservation measures, could lead to a disruption in global oil prices.
The American Petroleum Institute's president said oil shortages caused by the political situation in Iran proved the necessity of making U.S. energy
The Institute's president, Charles J. Dibona, said such flexibility should involve relaxing environmental controls on energy resources.
"The impact of all of the regulations is that it is very difficult to react with flexibility to a crisis," D'Bona said in a speech to the American Association of Firefighters.
The loss in oil revenue, anti-Western sentiment and a reduced role in international politics has led the Baktiar government to seek cancellation of an estimated $10 billion in defensive contracts with the United States, Britain and other European nations.
other European nations. The canceled contracts could reduce employment in these countries.
A U.S. Department of Energy plan would attempt to relieve the strain on the American oil industry by allocating crude oil.
Under the plan, larger oil companies would divert some of their supplies to smaller firms feeling the pinch of the Iranian oil cutoff.
Oil industry officials said smaller refineries asked to share resources with the larger companies because of steep prices and a tight supply of crude oil on the market.
Right-to-Life urges strict law
TOPEKA--Right-to-Life advocate supported more stringent requirements for abortions and for abortion clinics during Kansas legislative hearings.
The Kansas Senate Ways and Means Committee was considering an approhensions bill containing funds for welfare abortions.
Pat Gibson of Shawnee, a representative of Right-to-Life, urged the committee to amend state statutes so that state aid would be paid for abortions only if a mother's life were in danger and the physician tried to save the lives of both mother and child.
In the House Federal and State Affairs Committee hearing, abortion fees favored legislation that stepped up the reporting of abortions and required disclosure.
Opponents of the bill, proposed by State Rep. Arthur Douville, R-Overland Park, dismissed the requirements as unconstitutional and impractical.
Terry Dirkis, of the Kansas Abortion Rights Action League, said the bill discriminated against abortion clinics and low-income women by increasing
Inquiry prompts official leave
ANNAN UNITY, Moe-Kathelen Camin, regional administrator of the Environmental Production Agency, will take a leave of absence until the company can resume operations.
The regional EPA office is under investigation for alleged payroll fraud and granting contracts without competitive bidding.
Carmis said Monday she was taking the leave "to ensure there is absolutely no question about the independence and integrity" of the inquiry.
An EPA contract specialist, James Arn, initiated the inquiry into the contract-letting practices. The Kansas City Times reported recently that 15 of 22 contracts let by the agency in the past 18 months were granted without competitive bidding.
Another inquiry, conducted by the office of security and inspection, is examinations alleging that Camtnin traveled extensively and was w章feuched to the police. The police said they had no evidence of the
In addition, an internal investigation has shown incorrect time cards and log books.
Right to work bill proposed
TOPEKA-State Rep. Mike Meacham, RWichita, launched a move in the Kansas State Department to implement the "right to work" movement to the Kansas Constitution.
Since the adoption of the amendment in 1957, several attempts have failed to push through laws that would provide specific penalties for violations.
The only successful effort, in 1975, provided that any person injured by a violation of the constitutional provision had the right to seek civil damages
Essentially, the amendment states that no person shall be denied the opportunity to obtain or retain employment because of membership or non-
Meacham's bill is designed to bring the right to work principle under the state civil rights laws.
The bill would also prohibit discrimination in employment because of union membership status.

Wuo. deal may raise speed
The Department of Transportation might allow a 65 mph limit and not cut off funds if the state would regulate the proceeds which would be used to purchase homes. Hereafter, the department
CHEYNEHEN, Wyo.—Wyoming Gov. Ed Herscher said yesterday that federal officials had expressed interest in compromising over the state's move to raise the 55 mph speed limit to 65 mph, despite a threatened cutoff of federal highway funds.
He also said the details would have to be worked out with Washington and that it was not clear whether the department could legally allow a 65 mph limit.
The Wyoming House Committee rejected a 14-cent per gallon tax increase attached to the 65 mph bill, a tax that would have offset possible loss of $82 million in federal highway aid. The bill, which has passed the Senate, will go to the full house for debate.
Wyoming's action to raise the speed limit has prompted similar proposals in at least 10 other states.

Military demonstrates support for Bakhtiar
TEHRAN, Iran (AP)—Waves of jet fighters and helicopters flew in tight formation over Tehran yesterday in a new show of government force, while supporters of a rival government named by Ayatollah Khomeini marched through the city.
The thousands of demonstrators supporting Kohmei defiantly waved their fists at the aircraft, shouting "Allah Akhbar," God is great.
The Fly-over demonstrated the resolve of Prime Minister Shaikh Bourkhi to stay in power.
A top aide to Khomeini claimed that the threat of a military coup had passed and that the ayatollah now had some military support.
BUT HE hinted that more violence was likely before Iran's crisis eased.
The aide, Ibrahim Yazdi, formerly of Houston, Texas, said many elements of Iran's 430,000-man army had swung over to Mehli Mazar Banzan, Khomini's choice as prime minister of a provisional revolutionary government.
Residents of Isfahan, Iran's second largest city, said Khomeini backers had taken over police functions and the administration of city departments there.
*xzatz also claimed yesterday's fly-over with a video of backing for Bazargan.*
*The plane disappeared in the morning.*
"THE TIME for a coup has come and it has failed," Yazdi told reporters at Khomein's command post in Tehran. "We are the reason to expect no problem in this regard."

Referring to clashes yesterday between pro- and anti-Khomini groups in which 3 persons died at Zahedan, near the Pakistani border, Yazdil said. "We're at a very critical and sensitive stage. It is not as rosy as one might expect. There are remnants of the old regime of Shah Mohammad Heza, Pakistanese and seeking to cause violence."
THE EXODUS of foreigners from Tehran continued with the departure of 400 Americans and 70 Canadians aboard military transports.
Americans leaving Iran said they had received death threats and other abusive
George Van Vladkrenn of New York showed a note he had received that said, "American people, you should leave Iran and stay there in fire and your safety will be in danger."
An American Embassy spokesman estimated there were now only about 5,000 Americans left in the country, compared to the 40,000 to 50,000 who lived and worked before the emergence of the movement against the shah.
