The controversial measure Is for total decontrol of natu- gas prices after a three-year nsition period during which price of cheap “old” gas, m Isvells drilled before 1977, uld gradually be raised and plice of more recently pro ved “new” gas would be lo- red While the measure falls short whai. President Reagan first >posed, it has been endorsed the administration. Melcher and Sen. James on, D-Neb., are leading a htl against it because they 'jpose any increase in the price old gas, now controlled by the tuifal Gas Policy Act of 1978. Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, Ohio, said he also is opposed lifting the price lid on old gas t told the Senate he is not a rty io the filibuster. “I^hink it should come to the orrfor a vote,” he said. However, Metzenbaum said will offer substitute retaining ice controls on old gas. If it Is ihe will offer a stripped wn version, he said At the same time, he vowed ; pending bill “will not be- me the law of the land.” The measure is supported by Jinergy Gommittee’s chair- in, James McGlure, R-Idaho, cl its senior Democrat, J. Ben- tt Johnston, D-La. It was sent to the Senate on an -9 vote of the panel — but thout its endorsement. $he Senate is scheduled to te today on whether to limit rrent debate on a motion to <e up the bill. Even if that vote cceeds opponents could inch a new filibuster against e bill itself. Tigh court tivalidates i\ Paso will United Press International AUSTIN — A will written by El Paso County man about six eks before his death was ided Wednesday by the Texas preme Court which ruled ionic heart disease had used his mental capacity to de- riorate. The high court ruling firmed a district court jury de ion and reversed an opinion the 8th Court of Appeals in El iso. James Croucher wrote the II on July 7, 1980, leaving his Hire estate to his wife. He died ug. 12. Croucher’s two sons by a pre- ous marriage contested the ill on the grounds that their ither was mentally disabled be- mse of diabetes and severe eart disease. A report from a nervous sys- :m examination eight months efore Croucher died con- luded that his “memory was ketchy and he seemed at times onfused.” Croucher’s wife testified that er husband was clear-minded n the day the will was drafted. But the Supreme Court ruled lat Croucher had a failing icmory resulting from his eart disease in March, before ic will was written. ed Coretta Scott King the pen with which he designated the third Monday in January a na tional holiday in memory of her husband. Reagan had initially opposed the legislation to create a 10th federal holiday. The House and Senate, however, overwhelm ingly approved the measure. At the signing, Reagan told the White House gathering: “In America in the ‘50s and ‘60s, one of the important crises we faced was racial discrimina tion. The man whose words and deeds stirred the nation to the very depths of our soul was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.” Quoting King’s dramatic 1963 speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Reagan said: “I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of slaves and the sons of slaveow ners will be able to sit down together at the table of brother hood.” Reagan said that “if Amer ican history grows from two cen turies to 20, his words that day will never be forgotten.” Mrs. King said: “All right- thinking people, all right- thinking Americans are joined in spirit with us this day.” She also said that “America is a more democratic nation, a more just nation, a more peace ful nation because Martin Luther King Jr. became her pre eminent non-violent com mander.” After the signing, guests be gan signing “We Shall Over come,” the civil rights anthem, and the soft hymnal chorus swel led row after row until the entire audience, except for Reagan and Vice President George Bush, was on its feet singing. Reagan and Bush shook hands with the guests. There was no mention by either Reagan or Mrs. King of the controversy the bill engen dered before final congressional approval by the Senate two weeks ago. At that time, Reagan told a news conference he would have preferred a day honoring King on his Jan. 15 birthday without creating a pational holiday. He also declined to criticize Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., for seeking to unseal FBI records the conservative senator said would show King associated with Communists. Reagan said it might take “35 years” to see if Helms was correct.
