Vietnam patrol A South Vietnamese militiaman is framed by a coil of "razor wire" as he patrols outside an outpost in the Saigon region. Military patrols have continued since the cease-fire, and yesterday in Moscow, Soviet Communist party chief Leonid Brezh- nev cautioned two North Vietnamese leaders that there must be "complete and strict fulfillment" of the Vietnam peace agreement. Timplying that the Soviet Union's word was at stake, Brezhnev told the visitors that total adherence to the peace accord "by all sides . . . is precisely what is meant by the signature of the Soviet Union" to the Paris agreement. S - P ce blamd i Govt. will study gas shortage WASHINGTON ' - -The Cost of Living Council yesterday annoinced a nationwide audit of the petroleum industry to detect possible price control violations and deter- mine the extent of the gasoline shortage. A spokesman said the investigation will last about five or six weeks and will be carried out by Internal Revenue Service agents. ONE SOURCE said the agents will even measure the -mouint of gasoline in service station fuel tanks to determine whether reported shortages are is seriois as claimed. James McLane, the coincil's deputs di- rector and head of its price frese operi tion, told newsmen the goals of the na- tionwide check are: -To identify major shifts in suply; -To detect violations of the govern- ment's price control prgras; -To help establish an "early w arning system" for possible creation of h I a c k markets in the petroleum industry; and --To provide information that will allow for adjustments of price control regula- tions in Phase 4 over a period of time. A SPOKESMAN said the invesigation initially was carried out in four test cities and that "enough evidence" was found to justify any investigation on a ntiot- wide basis. 'he council source said results of the audit would show whether there is a real fuel shortage, whether there are price violations and where fuel supplies are go- ing. He said this would indicate what srt of priority is being given to farmers, in- dependent service station operators and the government. OCTANE RATINGS also will be part of the "comprehensive look at the situa- tion, at the producer, wholesale and re- tail levels," the official was quoted as saying. Meanwhile the Dallas Morning N e w s has reported that the council is also con- sidering a rollback in oil product prices to mid-May levels. And it said the council is considering denying oil companies their customary markups following import oil cost increases. Milky Way to illuminate July heavens The Milky Way will dominate the heav- ens during July, according to University astronomy Prof. Hazel (Doc) Losh. The starry stripe is believed to be the projection of our galaxy, Losh says. "It is thought we are located roughly three- fifths of the way between the center and edge of our galaxy," she explains, "and during summer nights we are looking to- ward its farther border, and therefore a greater-and brighter-number of stars than during our winter." Star enthusiasts will be able to observe the constellations Cygnus (the swan) and Aquila (the eagle) this month, Losh says, mu au.\misAuiye Mozambique bleeds LONDON - Fresh reports of army-in- stigated massacres in the Portuguese col- ony of Mozambique reached the outside world yesterday through the pages of the London Times.

Wheel steal NEW YORK-Long known as a favorite hang-out for nighttime muggers, New York City's Central Park has apparently become a zoo by day as well. Five per- sons competing in a championship bike race in the park on Sunday were attacked and beaten during the race by a local gang. While several gang members threat- ened the contestants, others made off with the bikes valued at some $450.

"Southern University is a blacks , the ubma- ir gas en the taken eks of nands s, ex- and school HE ALSO SAID the student disruptions were fed by a lack of communication be- tween students and administrators. Guste headed a commission of inquiry into the deaths of the two black students who were killed Nov. 16, 1972, by a blast of buckshot as they fled police tear gas in front of the administration building on the Baton Rouge campus. A preliminary report by the commission said the fatal shotgun blast came from an area where six deputy sheriffs were stand- ing. Neither the earlier report or the report issued yesterday identified the person who fired the fatal blast. "THE NUMBER and variety of weapons brought on campus by law enforcement units were far more than necessary to deal iuder the control of a state Board of Edu- cation which has no members who are black," the report said. "This fact evi- dently caused much of the frustration, con- fusion and distrust which led to the un- rest on the campus in October and No- vember 1972." GUSTE SAID he had turned over all the testimony and information to an East Ba- ton Rouge Parish grand jury.aAs tocthe likelihood of inditnents, "t have no com- ment on that," he said. The 12-member commission which drew up the report was appointed by Guste and included Turner Catledge, former execu- tive editor of the New York Times; two Southern students, and a New Orleans at- torney who served as a member of the President's Commission on Campus Un- rest.
