Press secretary Jodie Powell told reporters Sunday if the compromise — which is opposed by a powerful coalition of liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans — fails to win approval in Congress it will de stroy hopes for a national energy program this year. Meanwhile Carter planned more fishing and excursions Monday to outdoor wonders of his vacation site. He caught several trout Sunday and watched a herd of elk feeding at sunset. There was a dramatic element in Carter’s decision to trim his vacation and fly back Wednesday to a near- deserted Washington with Congress and much of the bureaucracy away for the Labor Day recess. Powell said the president decided it was necessary to return to the White House to deal with “very crucial” domestic matters now be fore Congress. “We view the fight on this natural gas compromise to be as difficult as any we have faced in Congress, Powell said. “It is in some sense a culmination ot almost two years of effort to try to provide the country with a national energy policy. “It has from the start been a dif ficult uphill fight. But it is a fight which we believe has a tremendous importance for the country and we don’t intend to lose it if there is any possible way — anything we can do. ” Powell said if Congress fails to act it will mean natural gas will con tinue to be backed up in the intra state market and there will be in creased use of high-priced imported fuel. Earlier this month a deal was reached that would phase out regu lation of natural gas prices by 1985. Supporters said increased reve nues would lure gas companies into spending more money to drill new wells. But liberals from the North, vowing to defeat the compromise, said it would lead to higher con sumer prices. They propose instead asiiM giving the president the powj allocate natural gas supplies j emergency. “It is at best a cosmeticf try to make the Americanr think that if the Congress r this natural gas legislation tin actually done something as an j native, he said. “This is not j ternative.
