On the NBC program "Meet the Press," Frank N. Ikard, president of the American Petroleum Institute, said he would oppose gasoline rationing ex WASHINGTON (AP) -Gasoline rationing may be necessary by spring unless the Arab nations resume oil shipments to the United States, says Sen. Henry M. Jackson, who headed three days of energy crisis hearings last week. Meanwhile, the Federal Energy Office urged utilities to cut power use by five per cent below normal next month.

The request came Sunday in the announcement of residual fuel allocations for utilities, which the FEO said will permit them to meet about 95 per cent of their normal power needs in February. Jackson indicated Sunday that gasoline rationing may be necessary by the second quarter of the year. "I believe the present situation clearly indicates that in the second quarter we're going to be in a posture where gas rationing may well be a reality," he said.

(AP) A mandatory gasoline distribution plan was launched today permitting Honolulu County drivers to buy gasoline only on alternate days according to the even or odd last number on thier license plates. No rationing books are involved, and motorists are not limited on the amount of gas they may buy on their day. Though enforced by the state, the plan applies only to Honolulu County, where lines at services stations were up to two miles long last week.

The state's three other counties have devised voluntary plans. Under the mandatory plan, which is similar to Oregon's voluntary system, motorists with even-numbered license plates and less than one-quarter of a tank of gasoline were allowed to buy gasoline today. Cars with odd-numbered plates and less than a quarter of a tank will have their first chance Tuesday. The system will continue-with -even-numbered tags permitted to buy gas on even-numbered days; odd-numbered tags, on odd-numbered days. No sales of gasoline will be permitted on weekends.

Herbert L. Porter, 'of Laguna Niguel, was released on personal recognizance pending completion of a presentence report. Assistant special prosecutor Richard BenVeniste told the court that on July 19, 1972, one month after the Watergate break-in, Porter was questioned by two FBI agents working on the case. The prosecutor said Porter told the agents about a conversation in which he and Jeb Stuart Magruder had discussed spending $100,000 to hire college students as campaign speakers. "There was no such conversation," Ben Veniste said.

The prosecutor indicated Porter has been cooperating with the current investigation. The charge of making false statements to a federal agency carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a fine. Magruder, former deputy director in the campaign committee, pleaded guilty last summer to a single charge of conspiring to obstruct the Watergate investigation and also has been cooperating with the prosecutors. Porter told the Senate Watergate committee that the was given to Watergate conspirator G. Gordon Liddy for political "dirty tricks." Porter told the committee he lied not only to the FBI but to the federal grand jury and at the Watergate break-in trial.

Watergate and the calls for President Nixon's impeachment that have followed the Watergate developments were the subjects of comment made by Atty. Gen. William B. Saxbe over the weekend. He said an impeachment action against Nixon, especially a bitter, partisan one, would tear the country apart.

But, Saxbe said, he expects Congress will not Impeach Nixon, but rather will keep the action going.

(AP) An avalanche of heavy, wet snow up to 25' feet deep has buried two young girls, King County Police said. And, authorities said, a second avalanche Sunday almost trapped a rescue party of 200, forcing them to halt their search for D. Kisman, 10, of Seattle, and Linda D.

Angell, 13, of Renton, Wash. No injuries were reported in the second slide, and rescuers hoped to return to the search this morning after an avalanche-control team arrives. Authorities said the two girls and seven other persons in a snowshoeing party were building an igloo at Source Lake when the avalanche came down Chair Peak. The lake is about 50 miles east of Seattle and about three miles from the Cascade Mountain Alpental ski resort. A police spokesman said the slide was 500 feet wide and 300 feet long.

MONTGOMERY The State Supreme Court is expected to take action today on a motion filed by an attorney for Cleburne County Sheriff Talmadge Baughn "that involves several legal questions." James Hubbard, of Anniston, attorney for Baughn, said the motion was filed to clear up some legal questions in the sheriff's case. Baughn is facing an impeachment trial before the tribunal after a Clebufne County grand jury last year recommended his impeachment along with that of Circuit Clerk Horace Baughn and Merrill, along with several others connected with the sheriff's department, face felony charges before the circuit court as a result of (See Baughn, Page 2) SUEZ, Egypt (AP) Israel's invasion forces lifted the 97-day siege of Suez City today, surrendered 300 square miles of Egyptian territory to the United Nations and freed Egypt's encircled 3rd Army. Scores of Israeli half-tracks rolled out of Suez City toward canal bridges to the eastern bank.

The vehicles were filled with singing, clapping soldiers. "We are going home," the Israelis sang in Hebrew to the tune of "This land is your land, this land is my land." They raised their fingers in V-for-victory signals and waved captured Egyptian flags. Some armored cars were painted with "Good-bye Africa." In a midday ceremony, the Israelis formally handed control of the city at the southern gateway to the Suez Canal to the U.N. Emergency Force. U.N.

troops immediately began taking control of Suez with the 15,000 civilian inhabitants and the southern invasion zone, holding it for at least six hours. "We are to prevent any unauthorized Egyptian movements until the Israelis are clear, said Col. Reino Raita-saari, commander of the Finish U.N. contingent. "So far, everything is going smoothly.

I do not think I will have to shoot anyone. When I went to inform the Egyptian commander of the handover, he was still asleep. That is the best possible omen." Israeli officers said that by nightfalUEgypt would regain all the occupied land from Ada-biya, 12 miles shouth of Suez, to a line in the desert about three miles north of the canalside city. That is about a third of the enclave carved out of Egyptian territory west of the canal during the Israeli invasion at the close of the October war. It leaves Egyptian lines open to the 20,000 3rd Army soldiers encircled since October.

Freed prisoner denied claim MILWAUKEE, Wis. (AP) "I'm not bitter. I want to forget the past," said Edward Kanieski after his $250,000 false imprisonment claim was of the crime for which he suffered imprisonment before it can grant relief."

Kanieski, who lives alone" in an apartment in Wisconsin Rapids and whose only income is from welfare, was 34 when convicted and sentence to life in prison in 1952 for the first-degree murder of Clara Bates. The 76-year-old woman was found beaten and strangled in her room adjoining a tavern she operated in rural Grand Rapids, Wis. Though his conviction was overturned by the high court in March 1972, the Claims Board said state law required that, after hearing the evidence, the board must find "it clear beyond a reasonable doubt that the petitioner was innocent Madison, said he would ask the state Civil Liberties Union to join the case and challenge the constitutionality of the statute the board cited.

"A lot of people couldn't prove their innocence, but they couldn't be proved guilty, he said. "Our thrust was that they didn't prove their case in the first place." Kaniesjd had had some plans for the money. Kanieski was released in 1972 after spending 20 years in prison on a first-degree murder' conviction. The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled he had been convicted on circumstantial evidence not sufficient to warrant a finding of guilty. His claim of false imprisonment was rejected earlier this month by the State Claims Board.

"I was a little surprised," Kanieski, 55, said Sunday of the rejection. "I figure I hould of got something for what I lost," he said in a telephone interview. "My family grew up without me.
