Lost profits to force
gasoline price hikes
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — Oil indus
try analyst Dan Lundberg pre
dicts gasoline prices will keep
rising at the pump because of
the trend toward a balance be
tween supply and demand.
“Atter eight months of gaso
line price cutting, a market tur
naround may be at hand,”
Lundberg said over the
weekend. “The question is
whether it could hold.”
Retail gasoline dealers across
the country lost profits when the
5 cent-per-gallon national gaso
line tax went into effect April 1
and dealers will have to make up
their losses, Lundberg said in his
weekly Lundberg Letter.

“Market pressure on dealers
cost them a big chunk of
money,” the newsletter said.
Recent margin losses by deal
ers and similar losses to inde
pendent sellers who did not pass
on the entire tax increase cannot
be sustained for long, Lundberg
said.
Refining and marketing los
ses since last July amounted to
about $2.3 billion in the indus
try, the newsletter said.
“Candidates for survival will
be turning this around, if possi
ble,” Lundberg said.
Gasoline demand is stronger
this year than last and “sparks of
economic recovery are promp
ting analysts to expect a better
balance between supply and de
mand,” Lundberg said.
The newsletter said members
of the Organization of Pet
roleum Exporting Countries
appear to be adhering to price
and production agreements and
non-OPEC producers are not
undercutting OPEC prices.

Reagan’s ‘resume man’
starts work, says thanks
United Press International
PITTSBURGH — Former
unemployed steelworker
Ronald Bricker arrived for his
first day of computer repair
work more than an hour early
Monday, and sent a thank-you
letter to President Reagan for
landing him a job.
Bricker stepped forward 12
days ago to hand Reagan a re
sume during his tour of a Pitt
sburgh computer-training
school, and was quickly put in
touch with Radio Shack, his new
employer.
“It’s really interesting,”
Bricker said of his new job. “My
boss is showing me the different
computers they have here and
teaching me about the different
parts and inventory.”
Bricker is now a computer
repair trainee at a Radio Shack
store in the city’s Oakland
