...House desk, Carter was serious and effective Monday night in delineating the dimensions of the impending energy shortage. Although his words were, as always, delivered in soft Southern tones, they were blunt and stark. If the world's use of oil continues at present rates, he predicted, demand will exceed international production by the early 1980s. Just to stay even would require "the production of a new Texas every year, an Alaskan North Slope every nine months or a new Saudi Arabia every three years...
...contribution, which should exceed $1300, is significant because the country is only slightly larger than Rhode Island, and even a single tractor, effectively used, has a notable impact, Raymond A. Almeida, director of TCHUBA said last night...
...Fall 1976. The six mirrors, focused together by computer, will equal the light-gathering capacity of a 176-inch reflector--second in size only to the 200-inch reflector at Mt. Palomar, Ca. The cost of the multi-mirror telescope, borne partly by the University of Arizona, will exceed five million dollars. The telescope housing alone cost over $1.3 million. Herbert Gursky, the Center's associate director for optical and infrared astronomy, says researchers will use the new telescope to make a systematic survey of quasars--the most distant, fastest-moving objects in the universe. Quasars also emit radiation...
...toolmakers that has brought most auto production to a standstill at the plants of British Leyland, makers of Morris, Austin, Triumph, Rover, and Jaguar cars, and idled 33,000 workers. The toolmakers are striking over the erosion of their "differential"-the margin by which the wages of skilled workers exceed those of the less skilled. Since the social contract held all increases to a flat monetary standard and ruled out raises in Phase 1 above a $14,000-a-year ceiling, the effect was to push low wages upward and restrict higher ones. A machine-tool operator in British Leyland...
Last year's tenth reunion class has a few very large gifts which allowed it to raise an unprecedented sum which Clifton said will "probably be unbeatable for years." This year's tenth reunion won't exceed the amount in dollar terms but they will probably set a participation record, he added...
