Page 4 THE BATTALION THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1975 Congressional action Ford’s energy proposals Favi £ ‘headed for trouble By WASHINGTON (AP) — Legisla tion to block the first part of Presi dent Ford’s energy program won Senate committee approval Wed nesday but it appeared that if the bill passes, the Senate may have trouble overriding Ford’s expected veto. The bill, already passed by the House, would suspend for 90 days Ford’s $3-per-barrel special tax on imported oil, giving Congress time to write its own energy program. Ford s plan is intended to discour age energy use by driving up prices. A White House press spokesman said after the 12-2 Finance Commit tee vote: “The President just be lieves Congress is wasting time try ing to delay action’ and should be working instead on his economic- energy legislation. Although 54 of the 100 senators are sponsors of the delay bill, up to 67 votes would be required to over ride the veto. Democrats hold 61 Senate seats and could be expected to pick up eight or 10 Republicans on an override attempt, but there is doubt enough Democrats could stick together to enact the delay over a veto. against it, including chairman Rus sell B. Long, D-La. “The President’s program will become less popular as it becomes more clearly understood,” Long told reporters after the committee session. “But it has the advantage of moving us towards solutions to a problem that has been plaguing us for over a year.’’ Sen. Bob Packwood, R-Ore., who with Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan., op posed the measure in committee, said he favors Ford’s energy plan, based on higher fuel costs, because it is better than rationing. Packwood noted Senate Democ rats are working on an alternative that would include a gradually rising gasoline tax, but said for a tax to be effective it would have to increase taxes by 55 or 60 cents a gallon. The tentative Democratic plan would provide a 10-cent hike. The bill allowing the 90-day delay is expected to reach the Senate floor for debate next Monday, but it is doubtful it can be passed without four or five days of discussion al though plans for a filibuster have been dropped. Such a filibuster would delay a vote on a bill, asked by Ford, raise the ceiling on the national from the current S495 billion! $531 billion through June 30, That House-passed bill unanimous approval of the Finn Committee on Wednesday. At least three of the 12 Finance Committee members who voted to send the bill to the floor will vote FBI asks for stiff handgun law ‘Legitimate and proper’ use shouldn’t be stopped DALLAS (AP) — FBI Director Clarence Kelley suggested mandat ory sentences Wednesday for per sons convicted of a crime involving a handgun. “Handguns were involved in over half the murders committed in 1973,” Kelley told the Greater Dal las Crime Commission. “More must be done to keep these lethal weapons out of criminal and irres ponsible hands.” He said he was not opposed to the “legitimate and proper use” of guns, but that regulations pertaining to handguns must be “strictly and vig orously” enforced. Citizen involvement, Kelley said, is essential for crime reduction. He compared citizen action to the “Hue and Cry” concept in early England, where citizens were called to assist police in crime prevention. In a news conference before his address, Kelley said there is no “secret or undisclosed relationship” between the FBI and the Bell tele phone system. “If we get information from them which is obtained in a legal manner, we can open a case and proceed with it,” he said. But, Kelley later told his audi ence, a provision in the Omnibus Crime Act of 1968 makes it illegal for the FBI to “proceed with infor mation tainted from its inception. There have been reports from un identified police officials that fed eral agencies still work with tele phone companies on unauthorized wiretaps, and that they regularly trade information of mutual in terest. The FBI director denied know ledge of such practices, saying, “I do not condone unauthorized taps or intrusions into telephone conversa tions.” Although Kelley said he favors “regular” reporting by the FBI to Congress, he said he is opposed to a citizen review board to oversee the bureau. He said the FBI does not know the whereabouts of fugitive news paper heiress Patty Hearst, who has been missing for more than a year, but, “We sincerely feel we will find her.” A separate group of agents in San Francisco and Los Angeles is* signed to the case and "leadson are given their primary attenfa Kelley said. 11e had m ixed news for the Dil police department with areportl crime in Dallas during thefirsta months of 1974 increased by 19pr cent over the same period in 191: Violent crime, includingaggravA assault, murder and robbery,! said, decreased by 14 percent. 1974.
