Rationing compromise reached
WASHINGTON—House and Senate negotiators reached a compromise agreement yesterday to give President Carter authority to ration gasoline
Before rationing could be imposed, the nation's gasoline or diesel fuel supply would have to drop 20 percent. However, the compromise would allow the country to maintain a high gasoline price.
under the agreement, Congress would have two shots at rejecting a rationing plan when the president proposed it and again when he attempted to invoke it. The compromise came on the sixth day of negotiations and broke a stalemate over the extent of concessional involvement in the rationing process.
House and Senate leaders of the conference committee said that they thought they could win final approval of the measure in their respective chambers. An administration official said that the White House also might accept the measure.
Implementation of the plan could be blocked with a veto from either house.

Bolshoi dance troupe gets low-key welcome
MOSCOW (AP) - Russia's proud Bolshoi Ballet, stung by its first three defections ever during a U.S. tour, flew home to low-key welcome yesterday. Troupe dancers from the United States and Western leap by two married troupe members, and one dancer called the couple "scurm."
The Soviet news media remained silent over Leonid and Valentina Kolozov's efforts to recruit Russian officials in Moscow said they "far from our best performers." We have plenty of solos like these." The Kolozovs took solos with the state-sponsored ballet.
A welcoming reception of family, friends and visitors is arranged in bouquets of red and pink carnations for more than an hour as the weary, 128-tmember troop was checked through Stockholm.
"WE CLOUDN't believe it," a female dancer told Western reporters after the troupe arrived at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport.
The female dancer, who asked not to be identified, said the tenure坡 was upset over the Kolovls' entropy, which she said
SHE SAID THAT THE troupe had last seen Leonid, 23, and Valentina, 25, on Sunday night and that some dancers thought they were going to die when they failed to board the bus Monday.
they first learned about at 10 a.m. Monday on their way to the airport to fly home.
The Kozloza slipped away from the troupe before the performance. The curtain call and repeatedly spent the night with an intermediary before going to authorities Monday morning. They are now free to play in the auditorium.
A TALL, blonde male dancer who blasted the defenders as "scum" said the couple had done the unforgivable: "Left their parents and homeland." By byacting, the Kozlows who left the troupe Aug. 22 in New York, becoming the first Bolehaš doctor ever.
The blonde male dancer complained that the Kozlovs had been given more "artistic openness" than they had deserved and had failed to use their talents should have taken them. They were lucky, he said, for getting as far as he could in the competition for fierce competition within its ranks.
ANOTHER MALE dancer, Vyacheslav
He said the defection was very uneasy because the husband and wife team "got good parts and, therefore, we could not expect them to leave."
Gordyeen, husband of fellow star Nadezhda Pavlaiva, said in an airport interview, "We have a lot of good dancers, so they are no big loss."
ASKED WHEATHER SHE thought the famed bailer company would return to the United States, the ballerina replied through a text message that they would if invited by U.S. officials.
In the Soviet Union, defection, or "retusal to return home from abroad," is considered high treason and is punishable by death.
