Fuel crisis threatens in Britain,
govt. declares state of
ein
By AP, UPI and Reuter
LONDON - The British Gov-
ernment yesterday declared a
state of emergency, giving it
wide powers to deal with a threa-
tened energy crisis.
The declaration came on the
same day that the government
disclosed a staggering 645 mil-
lion dollar trade deficit for Octo-
ber, and the Bank of England
raised its lending rate to an un-
precedented 13 per cent.
UNDER THE regulations, min-
isters will receive wide-ranging
authority to ration the consump-
tion of coal, oil, electricity and
gas, to control food prices, and
to ,requisition transport, land aid
buildings to facilitate the dis-
tribution of essential supplies.
The spokesman said the de-
cision was taken at a cabinet
meeting this morning, just 21
hours after Britain's 270,000 min-
ers started a ban on overtime
which could cause production los-
ses of as much as 500,00 tons of
coal a week.
The state of emergency means
the government will be able, if
needed, to move stockpiled coil
from the mines to power sta-
tions and other key users.
THE BRITISH government also
warned the public to expect
gasoline rationing in the iext
few days.
The move would make Britain
the first major industrialized
power to introduce gasoline ra-
tioning since the emergence of,
the Middle East oil crisis.
A government spokesman said
gasoline ration books have al-
ready been stockpiled at post
offices throughout the country
and London newspapers predict-
ed they would be issued to the
public Monday.
A GOVERNMENT spokesman
said the rationing would be the
final stage of a three phase pro-
gram being introduced under the
emergency powers.
The first phase, which started
last night, involves a 10 per zent
reduction in the power and fuel
used by all government depart-
ments and nationalized industries
and requests that the public',do
the same voluntarily.
This will be followed by a re-
gulation cutting back the fuel
supplies receivedkbydistributors
before rationing takes place, he
said.
IMMEDIATELY after the state
of emergency was declared, Op-
position Leader Harold Wilson
called on Prime Minister Edward
Heath to make an immediate
statement in Parliament on what
he described as a "crash pro-
gram of measures without pre-
cedent in our history."
Yesterday's declaration was
the fifth invocation of the Emer-
gency Powers Act, by the present
government.
The last state of emergency
was called in August last year
because of a national dock strike.
OTHERS WERE declared in
February, 1972, during a miner's
stoppage, in December, 1970, be-
cause of a power worker's "go-
slow" and in July of the same
nergency
year because of trouble on the
docks.
With a one-day strike sched-
uled for next Monday by train
drivers who carry hundreds of
thousands of commuters to work
in London, and a post office
warning that Christmas m a i 1
could be delayed by staff short-
ages, the only bright spot im-
mediately ahead appeared to be
tomorrow's royal, wedding.
