...more oil out of existing wells that are now uneconomical to keep on stream. The battle between Carter and the oil industry over his windfall profits tax concerns whether decontrol will also lead to increased exploration and drilling of new wells that will raise production. The President has repeatedly hit the industry with the charge that oilmen will just pocket the profits from decontrol. Even under existing price controls, however, the industry has spent far more than ever before in its history in the stepped-up search for oil, not only overseas in countries outside OPEC, but also...
...world with half its daily petro-ration and, by controlling the supply, fixes the price. Having hiked the base price 14.5% since January, the cartel has lately tacked on expensive premiums and surcharges and now threatens price increases in June. The rises are a major reason why inflation hit 13% in this year's first quarter...
When technical hiccups occur, the whole global system often begins to tremble and twitch.

The accident has knocked out some 160,000 bbl. per day of refining production until at least June.

Dartmouth then yanked starter Jim Croteau (who had yielded only a single to Pearce through the first six) in favor of Matt Cairone, whose first pitch was squeeze-bunted by Burke St. John to score pinch runner Paul Scheper with the tying...
