Many of the alleged oil price frauds fell into two broad categories: what energy lawyers call ‘‘daisy chains” in which oil resale com panies sell a given amount of oil re peatedly among themselves to drive up its price before a final sale, and “flip-flops” where price-controlled oil from old wells is falsely certified as control-free oil from newer or more expensive wells. Monday, the Justice Department defended itself against an allegation that it failed to follow up promising cases of oil price fraud. The chief accuser was Joseph McNeff, a re gional lawyer for the Department of Energy, who told the subcommittee last week his superiors and the Jus tice Department showed little interest in flagrant cases of fraud. McNeff said he was punished with a reassignment to Dallas for his zeal, and he and others felt price fraud investigations were being sabotaged. John Keeney, a deputy assistant attorney general, said that he and others at the Justice Department were familiar with McNefFs allega tions, but found no “credible evi dence” to back them up. McNeff had only “gut reactions, instincts, feelings” and nothing to prove his charges, Keeney said. United Pr Keeney said there havt ^SfflNGl some delays in federal pro; but lines of communicati; man can stronger now between enetj ; y damage justice officials. an emp gGasoline supplies tighter hy 9 percent this summer United Press International The gasoline squeeze for June ap parently will be almost 9 percent tighter than it was last summer, a proposition that has aready sparked hoarding, speculation, violence and an argument over the merits of “moonshine in the gas tank.” The Lundberg Letter, an au thoritative petroleum industry newsletter, said deliveries this month from major oil companies will run about 91.4 percent of the supply available a year ago. “Because allocations are based on historical sales, gasoline supplies should be relatively greater in areas where summer travel has been greater,” the Los Angeles-based publication said. “On balance, June allocations appear to provide for some vacation travel, but not what it would have been normally. In Fairfax, Va., increasing num bers of motorists were taking no chances and the rise in demand for private gasoline storage tanks prompted the county’s board of supervisors to consider an ordinance outlawing their use. “It’s a public safety risk and it’s very anti-social for someone to be out there grabbing all the gas he can get before all goes dry,” said Super visor Warren Cikins. “I’m told one gallon of gas has the potential ex plosive power of four sticks of dynamite.” In Baltimore, an alleged effort to steal gasoline from cars in a used car lot landed two men in the hospital when night watchman Richard Kirby, 50, opened fire on them. Police said Henry Barnett, 29, was in critical condition with bullet wounds in the stomach and leg. His 24-year-old brother, Michael, was wounded in the hand. Kirby was charged with two counts of assault with intent to murder. Maryland Comptroller Louis Goldstein blamed the gasoline shortage in his state largely on the sale of surplus gasoline — legal, and even encouraged under federal allo cation rules — to speculators who then sell it back to the oil com panies, effectively keeping it off the market. Goldstein said such “spot market” trading has nearly tripled, increas ing from 1.5 million gallons in March 1978 to 3.2 million gallons in March this year. In Richmond, Va., even the much-touted gasoline substitute gasohol sparked controversy. Rep. John Dingell, D-.Mki e justices chairs the House energy si j ssec ] f roI1 mittee, said.

Dr. Robert Frosch, administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, made this clear in testimony Monday to a House subcommittee.

Frosch said NASA will have no idea where Skylab will fall until the last 24 hours. He said there is roughly one chance in 50 of one injury if Skylab re-enters the atmosphere on an orbit that crosses populous Europe and Asia, but only a one-in-500 chance of an injury anywhere in the world if it falls on an orbit taking it over the United States.
