December 31,10:30 p.m; Watch Night Service Film: PEACE CHILD By STAN BENJAMIN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The departing Ford administration is handing the incoming Carter team a raft of unfinished energy business, ranging from fuel taxes to the fate of the nuclear breeder reactor. President-elect Carter promised Northeastern governors last week that he would develop a unified energy policy by April 1. A group of Carter's transition staffers got their first full-scale briefing in a recent marathon session at the Interior Department, where Ford administration officials skimmed through major issues facing the new Summarizing the briefing in an interview, Stanley Doremus, deputy assistant interior secretary for program development and budget, said offshore oil and Western coal development pose major policy questions for the Carter administration. He said the Carter administration will have to decide whether to keep the present schedule of offshore petroleum leasing and will face other, more substantive issues dealing with the Outer Continental Shelf. Doremus said the new administration also will have to think about a host of questions under the coal- leasing program, beginning with the issue of whether to proceed with coal leasing in the West.

After a five-year moratorium, Interior Secretary Thomas S. Kleppe has adopted new regulations to resume the leasing of Western federal coal lands. Carter has publicly favored a greater emphasis on development of Appalachian coal in the East. Doremus said other Interior Department issues outlined for Carter's team included: For Your Future Individual Retirement Accounts Now Available Money deposited in an IRA account interest per year and the interest is account until disbursement age. highest interest for IRA accounts Which retirement savings.

In the meantime, what should be done with surplus Alaskan oil reaching the West Coast? new administration needs to develop a position on congressional proposals for a nationwide strip-mining control law. The Carter team also was briefed in back-to-back sessions in a single day by the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Carter may consider whether to divert some of ERDA's funds from the costly breeder reactor project aimed at developing a nuclear power plant that produces new fuel into solar power development, research on clean ways to burn coal, or nuclear fusion. Finally, still more issues were thrown at Carter's team by the Federal Energy Administration. They included: to try for fuel taxes to encourage energy conservation, an idea that got nowhere with President Ford or Congress earlier.

multinational oil companies should be broken up. And whether they should be required to report their international oil negotiations, as FEA has proposed. ATLANTA (AP) The Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy says he is giving "thoughtful and prayerful" consideration to leaving his post as president of Christian Conference Congress.

Abernathy said Monday it is "a strong possibility" that he will run for the 5th District seat' if Congress approves President-elect Carter's nomination of Rep. Andrew Young, a Democrat, as ambassador to the United Nations. "I have received numerous requests to run," said Abernathy, a civil rights activist who joined the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in founding the SCLC.

Fortunately, South had a mighty sound rebid to the game contract, so there was some play for it. South won the diamond lead with his ace and noted that East had dropped the eight spot. It looked like the start of an echo to show a doubleton. There didn't seem to be much chance of getting a discard on the 10 that could be established.

However, South found a way to give himself an extra chance. He cashed his ace and jack of trumps and then led his jack of diamonds. West took his queen and shifted to the ten of clubs. This held and a second club went to East's jack. East led a third club.

South ruffed; entered dummy with the queen of trumps; discarded his deuce of hearts on the 10 of diamonds and made the rest of the tricks by means of a successful heart finesse. His play of drawing two rounds of trumps succeeded because East was short in trumps as well as in diamonds, but it risked nothing. If East had been able to trump the third diamond, South would overruff and still be able to make his contract if hearts broke 3-3.
