WASHINGTON — House Dem
ocrats Tuesday expressed over
whelming opposition to President
Carter’s plan to phase out price con
trols on domestic oil.
The test vote loss by a margin of
nearly 2-1 at a Democratic Caucus
meeting was seen as a deep embar
rassment to Carter, who wants to let
energy prices increase sharply to
encourage development and bring
conservation.
The issue before the caucus was a
resolution sponsored by Rep. Toby
Moffett, D-Conn., putting House
Democrats on record against decon
trol. Decontrol is the major part of
Carter’s energy plan.
A motion to table that resolution
was rejected, 153-82.
The caucus recessed for the day,
putting off until today an actual
yes-or-no vote on the resolution.
But Tuesday’s test vote was thought
to be decisive by its wide margin.
After the vote. Rep. Edward
Markey, D-Mass., said: “This was a
repudiation of the president’s pol
icy. A complete and total repudia
tion. Just as Lyndon Johnson had to
deal with Vietnam and Richard
Nixon had to deal with Watergate,
Jimmy Carter has to deal with this.”
House Democratic Leader Jim
Wright, D-Texas, shouting and wav
ing his arms, urged the caucus to
reject Moffett’s resolution, which he
called “deeply embarrassing to the
president of the United States.”
“It takes some guts to do it and I
hope the members of this caucus
have the guts to do what is right,”
Wright yelled.
Moffett said he and other backers

of the resolution supported Carter’s
1977 energy policy and helped it
through Congress, so “this is not a
group trying to make the president
look bad. We would like nothing
better than to help him rise from the
political dead.”
The test of the Moffett move will
come when the issue reaches the
full House. Moffett intends to offer
the stop-decontrol plan as an
amendment to a Department of
Energy authorization bill.
Republicans are thought likely to
be heavily for Carter’s decontrol,
and the question will be decided by
how many of the 159 Republicans
join Democrats in going against
Moffett.
Appeal denied;
execution on
United Press International
RAIFORD, Fla. — A federal appeals court Tuesday rejected a plea
to save condemned killer John Spenkelink from Florida’s electric
chair, leaving only the U.S. Supreme Court — where he has lost
three previous appeals — to save him from execution.
Attorneys for Spenkelink and another death row inmate, Willie
Darden, made frantic efforts to block their Wednesday executions
which would be the first in the United States since Gary Gilmore was
executed by a Utah firing squad in January 1977.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans denied both
an appeal on behalf of Spenkelink and a motion for a stay of execution,
leaving only the U.S. Supreme Court. Spenkelink’s lawyers said they
would go before the high court for the fourth time.
Darden’s appeal has been heard by the high court once and it was
rejected. But his attorney, Robert Harper, planned to seek a stay of
execution before U.S. District Court Judge Terrell Hodges in Tampa,
Fla., later today. He also planned to file a second appeal with Flori
da’s Supreme Court in Tallahassee.
About one-third of the inmates at the Raiford prison refused their
morning meal Tuesday in apparent protest to the executions.

pressure —
better mileage
United Press International
AKRON, Ohio — Increased infla
tion will improve gas mileage in the
next decade, according to the Fires
tone Tire Co.
The company said that, because
more pressure in auto tires reduces
rolling resistance and therefore
helps achieve better gas mileage,
tires in the 1980s will be built to
accept higher pressures.
Until recently fuel economy was
not an important consideration in
tire construction, the company said.
However, radial construction and
other recent advances in technology
permit higher air pressure without
sacrificing ride quality. Firestone
said its tests show radial construc
tion tires inflated to 35 pounds in
crease gas mileaee percent.
Oil prices were put under .
trols by a 1975 law. That pk
lowed domestic oil prices !t'
crease only with inflation,,
foreign oil prices have so|j;
meanwhile. Next month, tk

this kid?
When the dam broke at Buffalo Creek, West Virginia, a lot of
people weren’t as lucky as this little guy.
Jamie and the rest of the Mosley family made it up the hill
just in the nick of time. Seconds later, a wall of water swept all
their earthly possessions away.
Here you see Jamie in the Red Cross shelter, thinking it
all over.
One look at that face, and weVe awfully glad we were there
to help.
Every year, you know, Red Cross touches the lives of mil
lions upon millions of Americans. Rich. Poor. Average. Black.
White. Christian and Jew. With support. With comfort. With
a helping hand when they need it.
So when you open your heart, with your time or your money,
you can be certain it’s in the right place.
