BUT IN A report released yester- day, a, Senate subcommittee said "the federal government will not be in a position to help very much," even though it credited officials with doing more than ever to deal with anticipated shortages. The subcommittee on intergovern- mental relations based its conclu sions on three days of hearings in which officials outlined a Winter Emergency Energy Plan for 1977-78. "Another cold winter is on its way and we are not ready for what it may bring," said Sen. Edmund Muskie (D-Maine), the panel's chairman. Dock strike threatens New Oreans' economy NEW ORLEANS (AP) -=The shutdown of the nation's second- largest port in a longshoremen's strike is threatening steer shipments to the Midwest and grain exports to foreign countries.

"PEOPLE START socking that buck away and keeping it for red beans and rice," he said. The strike, part of a work stoppage that began Oct. 1 at East and Gulf Coast ports by the International Longshoremen's Association, is cut- tingmanhestimated $2 million a day from the area economy. Unlike workers elsewhere who are 'refusing to handle only containerized cargo, the New Orleans longshoremen are striking all cargo.
