...critics complain that he has been far too friendly with Alaska's oil operators to be given the Interior Secretary's wide regulatory powers over the entire $50 billion petroleum industry. Hickel has also alienated many Northeastern Senators by his opposition to a scheme for cutting fuel costs in New England by permitting imports of foreign oil through a free trade zone at Machiasport, Me.

Last week's fuel theft story, which charged that some U.S. military and civilian officials in Thailand had been bribed and others had been careless in allowing at least 5.5 million gallons of aircraft and other fuels to slip out of government hands, surfaced more easily than most. Lawrence Knutson, one of A.P.'s regional Washington desk hands, got a tip from a friend and turned to the team for help in checking it out.
