...taxes would only feed inflation without reducing consumption much; the Administration contends that fuel costs to the consumer must go up and business cannot expect to take all the increase in profits. The outcome, so far, is a debilitating uncertainty: the House passed Carter's program almost intact, the Senate dismembered it and no one can now predict what compromise may emerge from the conference committee. Meanwhile, businessmen apprehensively note that polls indicate that Carter has yet to convince the public that there is any energy crisis at all. Says Herbert Schmertz, vice president of Mobil Oil Corp.: "There...
...three consecutive weekends, Felske's team has proven themselves the best team in Boston, the Mass state champs, and one of the major powers in New England. This week they hope to conclude the fall season with their undefeated record intact. Traveling to Durham on Tuesday to face the University of New Hampshire, they finish up against BC here at Soldiers Field Thursday...
...between the Senate and House treatment of Carter's energy package point toward the likelihood that a handful of Senate and House conferees will determine the ultimate outcome. Responding to Speaker Tip O'Neill's expert prodding, the House had passed most of the Carter program intact-and in a single bill.

One would be to phase out controls on natural gas, leaving prices to find their own level in a free market. The present controlled price of $1.47 per 1,000 cu. ft. is too low to lure enough gas out of the ground-as witness last winter's factory and school closings. A move to deregulate has run afoul of an on-again, off-again filibuster by Senators from states that rely heavily on low gas prices. The most likely...
...plans to submit his tax-reform proposals, which he had planned to send to Congress next week; they will be delayed for at least another week. Meanwhile, an emboldened Senate was knocking holes in Carter's energy program, which had sailed through the House almost intact. The Senate Finance Committee dumped Carter's proposed penalty taxes on gas-guzzling cars in favor of its own bill to ban them outright, starting in 1980 with those getting less than 16 m.p.g. Next, despite an all-out Administration effort, the Senate voted 52 to 46 against killing legislation that would...
