Consumer gas may be cut 30% pump taxes or rationing possible WASHINGTON (P)-One of the famed White House tapes was played in public for the first time yesterday but the only question it settled is that there is indeed a hum. It lasted, as the White House said. 18 minutes and 15 seconds. TO STRAINING ears in U.S. District Judge J o h n Sirica's crowded courtroom, it sounded like electric clippers in a barber shop. Here and there, before and after them hum, the voices of President Nixon and aides John Ehrlichman and H. R. Haldeman could be heard in snatches of conversation. There was some whistling-tune and whistler unidentified. Then the long buzz, loud at first, then a little lower and then loud again. The tape, of a meeting in Nixon's Executive Office Build- ing suite on June 20, 1972-in- volving first Ehrlichman and then Haldeman-was played as the President's secretary, Rose Mary Woods, was on the stand. IT WAS THE 10th day of a hearing that began as an inquiry into two subpoenaed Watergate tapes the White House said were nonexistent. It changed in char- acter after the White House dis- closure last week that the Halde- man conversation was missing the 18-minute segment. Special Watergate prosecution force lawyers say that the part obilterated w a s conversation about the Watergate break-in that occurred only three days be- fore the conversation was re- corded. In other developments, the Richmond office of the Small B u s i n e s s Administration was pressured by the White House to approve loans and credit guar- antees for Bennie McRae, a for- mer professional football player who had campaigned for Presi- dent Nixon, a House subcommi- ttee was told yesterday. CURTIS PRINS, chief investi- gator for the House Banking Committee, gave that testimony at the opening of public hearings into alleged SBA corruption.He said the Richmond office also approved loans to realtives of employes there. Prins also said, in answer to questions, that he had evidence that the White House pressured the SBA in other cases to facili- tate loans or to cover up investi- gations of irregular loans. Prins declined to give many details, saying that "we have developed one case up to 75 per cent and one other case we only received yesterday afternoon." HE SAID there is evidence of at least one case where SBA financing was arranged for com- panies in which White House staffers were participating. Special Watergate prosecutor Leon Jaworski said yesterday he is vigorously investigating the ITT affair. Allegations against officers or directors of ITT, the Interna- tional Telephone & Telegraph Corp., will be investigated joint- ly with acting Atty. Gen. Robert Bork, Jaworski said. JAWORSKI MADE the state- ment in a letter to Rep. J. J. Pickle (D-Tex.), the second-rank- ing majority member of a House subcommittee that held exten- sive hearings into the ITT affair. Pickle said, in a letter to Ja- worski Nov. 16, that the spelal prosecutor's ITT investigation appeared to be dormant. Jaworski r e p 1 i e d yesterday "that his office is vigorously pur- suing the investigation into what has been commonly referred to as the 'ITT matter.' " FINALLY, THE Senate Water- gate committee acknowledged yesterday that its investigations of the milk fund and the Hughes- Rebozo money weren't going well and postponed further hearings at least until January. Chairman Sam Ervin Jr. (J- N.C.) and vice chairman Howard Baker, Jr. (R-Tenn.) attributed the delay to witnesses who have failed to appear under commit- tee subpoena, White House re- fusal to turn over some docu- ments and an admission by the staffthat it simply wasn'tbready to proceed.

WASHINGTON OP) -The gov- ernment tapped civilian and do- mestic supplies yesterday to assure adequate fuel for the De- fense Department, and sources said consumer gasoline supplies may soon be reduced by up to 30 per cent. The cutback would be twice that announced by President Nixon Sunday night. PRESIDENT Nixo's Emergen- cy Energy Action Group, which met yesterday, was reportedly considering rationing gasoline, imposing a supplemental tax of 30 to 40 cents, or both. Meanwhile, Arab foreign min- isters approved a Saudi Arabia proposal that oil restrictions against Japan and all European Common Market countries ex- cept the- Netherlands be lifted, reliable sources reported in Al- giers yesterday.. The sources said the foreign ministers approved the proposal at a meeting in Algiers before a summit conference of Arab lead- ers convened on Moinday. THE SUMMIT conference is to act on the ministers' resolu- tions. The proposal by Saudi Arabia, the Mideast's largest oil pro- ducer, apparently did not include any change in the Arab embargo of oil for the United States. The Netherlands also is under a total embargo. The Saudi proposal seeks to reward Europe and Japan for recent declarations indicating a shift in policy more favorable to the Arabs, the sources said. THE NETHERLANDS was not included in the proposed shift because the Arabs consider the Dutch government to be commit- ted to Israel, the sources said. The summit conference in Al- giers sought to reconcile rival Jordanian and guerrilla claims to the allegiance of the Pales- tinian people-an explosive issue the leaders feel must be resolved before any peace conference with Israel. In other energy-related de- velopments: The White House issued fi- nal regulations prohibiting elec- tric power plants that burn coal from switching to oil. The rules permit plants burning natural gas, a scarce fuel, to switch to oil. 0 The Office of Petroleum Al- location ordered priorities on the sale of fuel for marine use, giv- ing preference to boats and land facilities involved in harvesting and processing fish and other seafood. Pleasure vessels may buy marine fuels only if ade- quate supplies are on hand after seafood processors have bought their supplies. * House Commerce Commit- tee Chairman Harley Staggers (D-W.Va.) said he hopes to fin- ish work on emergency energy legislation by the end of the week. His bill would give the President broad power to restrict energy use.
