Simon, addressing the national conference of lieutenant governors, said the embargo was still fully effective and he had "solid and hard numbers" on shrunken imports to prove it. He said his office assessed imports of all petroleum products last week at 4 8 million barrels a day a fraction under the 4 9 -million-barrel level he calculates would result from a completely effective embargo. Announcing the house investigation shortly after Simon had spoken, Acting Committee Chairman Al Ullman (D-Ore) said he suspected the shah has his own ax to grind" but that the committee wanted to establish the facts on the sensitive embargo issue.

Nixon repeated his call for deregulation of natural gas as a means of encouraging increases in the supply. "Our goal of becoming completely independent in energy, independent of any foreign source, is one that can be achieved," the President said. THE PRESIDENT said that failure of the Arab states to end the oil embargo could "slow down efforts" to arrange a Middle East peace. He said the issue of the oil embargo and Arab-Israeli peace are not linked, but "what happens in one area has an effect on the other." Mr. Nixon said the way to bring inflation under control is to increase supplies, particularly of food energy.

"The answer to higher prices is not simply controls," he said. "Controls have been tried, and controls have been found wanting."

Nixon said. IN THE COURSE of the 40-miiuite session with reporters before the TV cameras, the President touched on these subjects: Politics He cautioned that nobody can predict nine months ahead how an election will turn out, recalling the Republican optimism in 1948 when President Truman was their "issue." Then he predicted it will, afterall.be a "good year" for candidates who stand for the administration. His tax problem He recalled again that President Johnson counseled him to contribute his vice-presidential papers to the government and enjoy deduction therefrom.

BUT IN CRITICAL cases, "there's no way we'll leave a child lying in an ambulance We were fully prepared to accept the boy if he couldn't get in elsewhere," he said.

If General had refused to take' the boy as well as Methodist-then Riley would have accepted him, Ullmann said. If he had been brought to Riley, the boy would have been treated in the hospital rather than the burns center and moved to the center at the first opportunity, Ullmann added. In the hospital, the boy would have received essentially the same care as in the center, but if he could be treated in a fc Continued From Page 1 boy because he had not been referred to the hospital by a doctor and that the burns center was full. Asked for further suggestions, the admitting officer told McCoy to try Methodist or General and if neither could take the boy, to bring him back to Riley.
