"Any time you're given the capability to sell more of the product it's good news," Peter Conway, proprietor of an Albany Mobil station said. Jim Donato, owner of an Albany Exxon station, said, "It's going to mean a shortage because we're still not getting enough gasoline." Andy Ruth, part owner of an American station in Albany, said he was sorry to see the plan go.

Malcolm Wilson, citing improved supplies and the needs of the tourist industry, yesterday lifted the mandatory odd-even gasoline purchasing plairin the state. At the same time, Wilson announced at a news conference, he would continue the ban against selling gasoline to motorists whose vehicles had more than a half-tank of gasoline.

The governor warned that lifting the odd-even plan, which went into effect on a voluntary basis in February, then became mandatory two weeks later, was subject to continued efforts to conserva fuel. Those efforts, he said, included oI servance of the 55 mph speed limit, cutting down on unnecessary driving, and the use of car pools and public transportation whenever possible. In addition to suspending the odd-even plan, Wilson also lifted the two-gallon carry-away limit and the use of special permits which allowed gas purchases on any day. The special permits were issued mostly to salesmen who used their cars for business. The governor praised Gen.

A. C. O'Hara, state director of the Office of Fuel and Energy, for a "magnificent job" in restoring order to the gasoline situation, which had become almost chaotic by mid-winter as hundreds of motorists waited in line for fuel. O'Hara, who attended the news conference with Wilson, said he thought the shortage of fuel did exist but that with proper conservation measures the situation would not reach mid-winter conditions again. Most gasoline dealers and resort owners applauded the end of rationing.

Although some of the group's members are Black Muslims, Alioto said, "you don't condemn the Southern Baptist church because some Ku Klux Klan members are members of the church." Yesterday's raids began at 5 a.m. as officers kicked in the door of J.C. Simon, 29 and Larry Green, 22.

The seventh arrest was made more than four hours later and police said more could follow.

That tape, which was not included in the committee's subpoena, was given to the panel earlier by the White House-when Nixon agreed to let the committee have all the tapes that had been previously turned over to the special prosecutor.

WASHINGTON A White House suggested yesterday it might make a special effort to clarify some of the muddled passages on the Watergate tape transcripts if House Judiciary Committee leaders insisted on it. The 1,308 pages of edited typewritten transcript submitted to the impeachment panel are sprinkled liberally with gaps that are filled parenthetically with the words "inaudible" or These are said to be the result of recording equipment limitations.

President Nixon's Watergate counsel, James D. St. Clair, told newsmen that if the committee deemed some of them vital to understanding what was being discussed, he would meet with Committee Chief Counsel John M. Doar to try to work out a solution. "I won't say we won't have a computer try to figure it out, but I can't say we will, either," St.

Clair said. The White Hous has said that committee Chairman Peter J. Rodino, and the senior Republican member, Rep. Edward Hutchinson, could listen to the tapes if they wish to compare them with the transcript. In addition to the "inaudible" passages, there are dozens of other places where profanity used by Nixon or others taking part in the taped conversations were deleted for what St.

Clair called "matters of taste." While the President's penchant for rough language may titillate some transcript readers, the committee is expected to be more curious about such passages as one concerning convicted Watergate conspirator E.

WASHINGTON (AP) Sharply splitting along party lines, the House Judiciary Committee voted late last night to tell President Nixon he has "failed to comply" with its subpoena for Watergate tap00, The committee approved 20 to 18 with only one Republican joining Democrats in voting to send Nixon a letter saying that he has failed to comply by publicly releasing edited transcripts rather than turning over subpoenaed tapes. Two Democrats joined Republicans in voting no.

Rep. Jerome R. Waldie, laid groundwork for possibly citing, noncompliance as an impeachable offense against the President in the future. Waldie asked special impeachment counsel John Doar if the President's willful refusal to comply with the House subpoena is an impeachable offense and Doar replied: "I believe it could be an impeachable offense under, these circumstances." But. Republicans contended that President Nixon has substantially complied with subpoena by publicly releasing transcripts that they contended in some cases are better than the tapes themselves.

"We should accept the material in good faith and make further representations in the future if necessary," said the committee's senior Republican, Edward Hutchinson of Michigan. The President has supplied the committee with a great deal of information, said Rep. Robert McClory, Republican of Illinois, "That is a substantial and adequate response to our subpoena." But chairman Peter W. Rodino said "the President has not complied with our subpoena. "We did not subpoena an edited White House version of partial transcripts of portions of presidential conversations," Rodino said.

"We did not subpoena presidential interpretation of what is necessary or relevant for our inquiry. And' we did not subpoena a lawyer's argument presented before we have heard any of the evidence." The committee approved a simple letter proposed by Rep. Harold D. Dono-hue, to the President from Rodino saying that as of 10 a.m. Tuesday, the subpoena's deadline, "You have failed to comply with the committee's subpoena." A proposal by Rep.

William S. Cohen, R-Maine, that the letter say the President's transcripts "do not represent full compliance" and seek more access to the tapes themselves was rejected on a procedural vote 27 to 11. Cohen's letter would have advised the President that the committee would have to have its lawyers review the original tapes, have the opportunity "to verify the authenticity of the tapes" and in some cases let the full committee hear (he original tapes. Earlier in the evening, Rodino bad rejected Nixon's proposal that only he and Hutchinson verify the transcripts released by the White House. Rodino said he would not listen to the tapes without the committee's lawyers present.

Mayor Joseph L. Alioto described the gang as a statewide terror group dedicated to racial murder and mutilation.

Alioto said at a news conference following the morning raids by 100 officers that members of the organization gained status and promotions by proving to their unidentified leader in an unnamed Midwestern city that they had committed particularly savage crimes. The mayor said the "local group is a division of a larger organization dedicated to the murder' and mutilation of They're off 3rd parlor Restraining order sought (IB). By PAULA MUSTO Staff Writer Off-track betting will open today with two, and maybe three, betting parlors in the Rochester area. Despite continued protests from Rochester city officials, the Western Re--gional Off-Track Betting Corp. board yesterday approved the third Monroe County betting parlor at 412 E.

Fred A. Herman, general manager of the betting corporation, said depending on how fast the computer lines could be installed, the third parlor would open either this afternoon or tomorrow.

He termed the Death Angels "a kind of reverse Ku Klux Klan." Alioto reiterated his previous assertion that the group has been responsible for more than 80 murders throughout California since 1970 and released a list of 73 names of suspected victims including those in San Francisco. Law enforcement agencies in the Los Angeles area said they have never heard "even a hint" of an organization such as at OTB; approved complained the site is too close to the Eastman, School of Music and could cause the school to move out of downtown. Rochester City Council members also have taken a stand against the betting parlor. Prior to yesterday's meeting, most betting board members agreed with Feldman, and twice refused to okay the parlor. But some hard selling by Herman, who weeks ago signed a 5-year lease for the building and hired workmen, convinced the betting board's Republican majority to okay the site yesterday.

The vote was 6 to 4 with Republicans voting for it and Democrats against. "This is a hell of a note," said Rochester Mayor Thomas J. Ryan yesterday. "I'm really scorched on this.
