Last summer the FPC decided to en courage exploration for more gas by boosting the national price of 51? per 1,000 cu. ft. for the fuel. At the same time, the agency had to avoid giving the industry windfall profits on gas from long-producing wells. So the commissioners devised a complicated system of pricing gas, depending on when the fuel was committed to the interstate market...
...prices per 1,000 cu. ft.: $1.42 for gas from wells found or tapped after 1974; $1.01 for gas from wells opened be tween 1973 and 1974; and 290 to 520 for all "older...
...rear wall to the stage apron, 69 ft. 8 in. between the narrow side balconies). Similarly, the main floor and stage are constructed of wood (darkly stained oak) over an air space, so that they will act as sounding boards. The hall is snugger than before (650,000 cu. ft., v. 850,000), and since any pianissimo needs silence, each air-conditioning duct is lined, and the tightly sealed doors weigh 370 Ibs. each. Every piece of plaster and wood is the solidest money...
Exotic Chemistry. But the devices that got the most attention were those in Viking 2's biology laboratory, the small (1 cu. ft.) package designed to detect life on Mars. This week the lander is to stretch out its robot arm, scoop up a sample of Martian soil and dump it into the minilab, which will repeat the three life-seeking experiments already performed by Viking 1. If the scoop works and all goes according to schedule, the results of these experiments could be in early next week...
