House subcommittee wants to look
into Energy Deparment investigation
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Now that
both sides have had their say on
whether the federal government
vigorously prosecutes oil price,
frauds, the staff of a House sub
committee wants to go one step
further.
Staff workers say they intend to
look up Department of Justice pa
perwork relating to fraud cases and
find out why some cases referred by
the Department of Energy were not
pursued.
The investigation by the energy
subcommittee of the House Com
merce Committee will examine re-

ferrals that were turned down in the
Justice Department as well as
examples where a field office rec
ommended a case to its superiors in
the Energy Department and the
higher-ups let the matter die.
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

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.

NASA hopes to aim
Skylab debris entry
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The space
agency plans to try to keep Skylab
from falling on the most heavily
populated regions of the world if
possible — even if it means slightly
increasing the risk of debris falling
on the United States.
Dr. Robert Frosch, administrator
of the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, made this
clear in testimony Monday to a
House subcommittee. But he said
the odds are that Skylab’s debris will
drop harmlessly into an ocean.

The 78.5-ton assembly is ex
pected to fall sometime between
June 27 and July 21, with July 9 the
most likely date. 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.
