iursday, October 6, 1977-The Michigan Daily USE-SENATE CONFERENCE WILL BE ( !arter's 'War ou VASHINGTON (AP) - The am- pition President Carter proposed ise for an energy battle he called e moral equivalent of war" has n seriously blunted by Congress ce the program was issued on il 20. (hile the House passed most of the sident's energy program last gust in one package, the Senate nediately fragmented it into five ts and then began dismantling th'e ces. Aministration officials and con- ssional Democratic leaders ex- ss hope that most of the Presi- it's proposals can be cemented k together again and enacted by er this year. UT RECENT Senate actions, king at the heart of the Presi- it's plan, suggest this might be a rculean chore. he chipping away at the Presi- it's program didn't begin with the Senate. The House dumped the President's plan for higher gasoline taxes and for rebates for small car buyers before senators even got the legislation. Here is a rundown on each of the President's major energy proposals and how they have fared in both chambers. " NATURAL GAS PRICING: Car- ter proposed ending the dual market under which gas in interstate pipe- lines is regulated at $1.46 per thousand cubic feet while gas used in the states where it is produced is free from controls. He recommended a uniform new ceiling on all newly discovered gas starting at $1.75 per 1,000 cubic feet and rising to about $3.36 by 1985. completely. But the Senate earlier this week took the opposite approach, approving an industry-backed plan to lift price, controls on new gas after two years and to leave the intra- state markets free from regulation. "RITICAL: Energ A House-Senate conference com- mittee will try to reconcile the differences and put together a com- promise bill. Carter has said he will veto the legislation ifs it contains deregulation like that voted by the Senate. * CRUDE OIL TAX: The Presi- dent proposed cutting fuel consump- tion by imposing a tax on domestic petroleum that would make it as expensive to refiners by 1981 as imported oil. The result would be an increase of about seven cents a gallon for gasoline and other petro- leum products. He proposed return- ing the tax to consumers as rebates. Again, the House agreed to the President's plan pretty much as submitted. But the Senate Finance Committeerejected it outright. Even members supporting the tax general- ly held that the revenues should be used for developing new sources of energy, not for rebates. The White House has indicated it might slap a $5-a-barrel fee on oil .imports - which would have approx- imately the same cost impact on consumers - if Congress rejects the crude oil tax. " COAL CONVERSION: The House approved the President's pro- posal to force most utilities and industries to burn coal instead of scarce natural gas and oil. The Senate approved a watered- down version, clamping down on industrial and utility use of natural gas shipped across state lines but allowing all but the largest plants to continue burning oil. The President's plan, passed by the House, also would impose a tax on utilities and factories that use oil and gas after a certain date with tax incentives to those which shift to coal. This part of the program is in serious trouble in the Senate Finance Committee. " GAS INEFFICIENCY TAX: The President proposed taxes on cars that get poor gas mileage starting in 1978 with a corresponding rebate to buyers of fuel efficient cars. The House Ways and Means Com- mittee killed the rebate scheme. The 'mired in the trenches rest of the plan was substantially modified in the House-passed bill, with the tax not beginning until 1979 and applying to fewer cars. The Senate rejected the tax con- cept and passed instead an outright ban on the production of cars that get less than 16 miles per gallon after 1980, rising to 21 miles per gallon by 1985. " STANDBY GASOLINE T A X: Carter wanted the power to impose an added nickel-a-year tax on gaso- line for each year consumption rose above specified targets. It was quickly rejected by the House Ways and Means Committee and several half-hearted efforts to revive it in the House failed. It has not been considered by the Senate. " ELECTRIC UTILITY RATES: The President called for a complete overhaul of electric rate structures, making power cheaper to consumers who use it during off-peak hours and seasons and ending discounts to industries who use large amounts of electricity. The House approved the Presi- dent's plan and made it even strong- er, giving the government greater power to intervene in state electric rate-making cases. But the Senate. discarded every- thing having to do with rates. Its bill would just give the government the power to make energy-saving sug- gestions to utilities and, under some circumstances, to order connecting lines between power plants. " CONSERVATION Credits: The President called for tax credits for home insulation, solar energy and other energy-conservation steps. The House modified the formula somewhat, but stuck by the original concept, voting to give homeowners up to $400 in tax credits for home insulation and even larger tax breaks for solar energy and wind-power devices. The Senate Finance Committee is expected to follow suit. This part of the President's plan is the least controversial and the most likely to pass virtually unscathed.

OCTOBER 11, 1977 FOR INFORMATION 769-7442 UAW votes not to DETROIT (AP-Top officials of the United Auto Workers voted last night against reaffiliation with the AFL-CIO at this time, citing majority opposition from rank-and-file union members who prefer the UAW independent. The action came despite strong sup- port for reaffiliation from union president Douglas A. Fraser and other top officials. THE UAW's 25-member Inter- national Executive Board met most of the afternoon and into the evening to consider whether to call a special fall convention on the question. While 20 members said they favored rejoining the organization that has come to embody organized labor, a RACKHAM GRADUATE STUDENTS If you intend to graduate this term with either a master's degre. or an intermediate degree awarded by the fackhom Graduate School, you must submit a Diploma Application to the Records Office, Room 101 Rackham Graduate School, no later than Friday, October 7. 1977 in order to be 'placed on the Oscember degree list.

Fraser, just elected to the union's top position this past May, said he was "disappointed" by the decision and does not expect reaffiliation to be reconsidered "in the foreseeable future." FRASER SAID the majority of mem- bers want to stay out of the AFL-CIO because they fear the UAW would lose its identity. "The other argument for not reaf- filiating is that we've done so well since 1968 outside the AFL-CIO, why should go back in," he said. The two unions split because of strong philosophical differences between AFL- CIO President George Meany and his more liberal UAW counterpart, the late 0 %0 rjotn Walter P. Reuther. Many labor obser- vers had expected reconciliation because of Meany's age and the possibility he may soon retire. Though Fraser and others wanted to buy the hatchet with the AFL-CIO, two union leaders in par- ticularly-secretary-treasurer Emil Mazey and vice president Irving Bluestone-vehemently opposed the move. Fraser had pushed for reaffiliation primarily to give labor a more united front as a lobbyist in Washington. The UAW gained considerable political clout in the 1976 presidential campaign with its early endorsement of Jimmy Carter, but still takes a back seat to Meany and his cohorts on Capitol Hill. Of the 17 UAW regions in the United States, Fraser said, nine favored reaf- filiation and eight opposed it. But the eight opposing regions had a greater r i tFL-CIO number of convention delegate votes, he said. After conceding the lack of sufficient rank-and-file support, the executive board voted unanimously against holding the special convention. The union leadership ducked the issue at its regular convention in May to allow for a smooth transition of power following the retirement of Leonard Woodcock as president. - r .................................................... ! -ONLY THREEDAYS LEFTI- * 0 S$1O ALL BALFOUR PROFESSIONAL AND TRADITIONAL SERIES RINGS (Men's and Ladies') * / " !!

However, Justice Department offi- cials who have seen the report say they suspect Park falsified at least some of the names and inflated his spending figures, the story said. The news service quoted unidenti- fied sources as saying Park claimed in a report to the KCIA to have contributed thousands of dollars to then House Republican Leader Ger- ald R. Ford and Sens. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.), and Robert Dole (R-Kan.). THE STORY, prepared for publi- cation in today's newspapers, said Park's report to the KCIA in 1971 or 1972 named about 40 congressmen. The three politicians were not in- cluded among the congressmen list- ed in an indictment against Park as having received cash contributions from him.

In asking the House to reconsider the marijuana issue, Bullard cited President Carter's support for lesser pot penalties as well as the State Bar's support of his bill. Opponents of the bill said liberalizing pot laws would constitute a legislative endorsement of drug use. t~ when wompniedwith
