(AP) Tex Ritter, a towering figure in Country 7 and Western music, is dead of a heart attack at 67. Ritter, who ranked with such greats as Roy Acuff, Ernest Tubb and the late Hank Williams, collapsed while visiting a member of his band at the Nashville jail Wednesday night. He was rushed to Baptist Hospital, where his doctor said he died of a "massive, sudden heart attack." RITTER HAD GONE to the jail to visit Jack Watkins, who was locked up Tuesday night on a charge of failure to pay alimony. The biggest hits for the soft- spoken Ritter were the movie theme "High Noon," "Wayward Wind," "You Are My Sunshine," "Boll Weevil" and "Hillbilly Heaven." Among Ritter's 78 film credits were starring roles in such movies as "Sing, Cowboy, Sing," "Marshal of Gunsmoke," "The Old Chisholm Trail" and "Song of the Gringo," his first film.

In 1938, while acting, he met and married Dorothy Fay. They later acted together in five movies, and they had two sons. Funeral arrangements are incomplete.

Dr. Hart noted that the tract includes a site where coal was mined 150 years ago by the people of Zoar. COAL HAS been removed from part of the land by surface mining, he added, but "an excellent job of reclamation has been done by Mr.

Kane." A retired coal miner, Kane and his wife are charter members of the Wilderness Center. Kane, a resident of Dover for 35 years, has hobbies of canoeing and hiking. In 1950 he headed a building campaign for Union Hospital in Dover. Kane planted evergreens in recent years on the spoil banks of the former strip mining area, which Fclland said involves about half of the 194 acres. Felland said the tract has "nice stands of evergreens up to 25 years old, lots of ferns and some native timber." The Wilderness Center has no plans to erect a building on the land.

HE SAID THE companies could enforce this as company policy at the service stations it owns directly but could only urge it upon service I stations. WASHINGTON (AP) Gasoline stations are violating price regulations at a higher rate than any other industry under government price guidelines, an Internal Revenue Service survey shows. About 20 per cent of service stations checked were selling gasoline above the legal ceiling price, the agency said. The rate of the price violations is far greater than in other industries under price control and is leading the IRS to step up its enforcement efforts nationally, a spokesman said.

A SPOKESMAN said the IRS plans to have 300 agents assigned solely to checking price violations by gasoline stations. Most of the violations probably do not involve flagrant price gouging in which motorists are charged $1 or tr- gallon of gas, the spokesm. said. But the number of such serious violations is increasing. Also on the rise, judging by IRS statistics, are the number of price refunds ordered by the agency against service stations charging more than the legal selling price.

The spokesman said it appears an increasing number of gasoline stations are using various gimmicks to get around the government's price regulations. Meanwhile, the Federal Energy Office is expected to announce further increases in the price of gasoline in addition to the one cent per uallon retail price hike announced Monday as well raises for home heating and diesel fuels. Energy officials say the fuel prices could rise by as much as 10 cents per gallon in the coming months. Three major oil companies Amoco, Sun Oil and Standard 011 of Ohio increased prices Wednesday. The wholesale gasoline increases of 5.8 cents a gallon for Amoco, two cents for Sun Oil and a cent for Standard follow similar increases announced Monday by Standard Oil of California, Union Oil Co.

and Shell Oil Co. A SPOKESMAN FOR the energy office said the companies would have to submit detailed reports justifying their price increases, which he said would be legal if they are based on the higher costs of foreign oil. For the week that ended Dec. 21, the IRS found that 693 of 3.590 service stations checked were charging more than the legal price. During Christmas week, there were 194 violations of 696 stations During the four-day New Year's weekend, the IRS found 409 service stations of 2,346 stations checked were violating legal selling prices.

And this is only a partial picture, as the check for last weekend covered only part of the country. The number of complaints flowing into IRS offices from motorists alleging price gouging also is increasing. Last weekend, IRS offices remaining open for the holidays received more than 3,500 calls. During Christmas week the IRS received nearly 1,200 complaints. As a result of the investigations most of the violations have resulted in price rollbacks and refunds to customers, either in the form of a compromise payment to the government or a requirement that the station discount the price of its gasoline.

According to the spokesman, the gimmicks used include checked. service charges imposed on the motorists for each gallon of gas, requiring customers to get car wash along with a full tank, or making them buy other products at inflated prices. All these schemes are illegal, the IRS said, and consumers should complain to their nearest IRS office if they run into such a case. The IRS said it should be easy for motorists to tell when they being had. On each gasoline pump, consumers should find a small sticker entitled "Economic Stabilization Program" which lists the legal selling price.

For various reasons, the ceiling varies from station to station and from area to area. THE FAILURE OF service stations to have stickers on their pumps is a violation of Britain (Continuedfrom Page One) hoped to nab more accomplices arriving from Los Angeles. But only the Pakistani flew in Monday, and any others were apparently warned away. The assistant manager of "Mr. Lloyd's," a Santa Barbara restaurant where Miss Thompson worked for a year, said she was fired because her friendship with an Arab man about 30 years old was interfering with her work.

Ben Crawford said he believed the girl was bom in Santa Barbara and had been reared either there or someplace in Oregon. "She never discussed politics or international affairs," Crawford said. "I got the impression the only thing she was interested in was fashions. She seemed to be in the drifting category." BRITISH AUTHORITIES believe the weapons the girl brought were intended for more attacks like the one Sunday night on Jewish millionaire Joseph E. Sieff.

There was also speculation the group may have planned to assassinate King Hassan, the pro-Western ruler of Sieff, 68-year-old president of the Marks and Spencer stores and a leading Zionist, was shot in the head at his home by a masked gunman. The gunman escaped; Sieff is recovering; and the Marxist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine said it was responsible for the attack. Other prominent Ixmdon Jews said they had been told the Arab terrorists had drawn up a list of British Zionists marked for assassination. Britain last Saturday released the only Palestinian guerrilla in its prisons. Mohammed Fuheid, a member of the Al Fatah organization, was deported to Iraq after serving a year for possession of a gun and explosives at London airport.

The area is off the California coast, oil companies would identify-areas they would like to explore.

The department would then select areas that would be up for competitive bidding in 1975. The nation's civilian airlines have yet to use any of the military jet fuel set aside for them by the government. A Pentagon spokesman said the practice would continue to ensure the airlines not to run short of fuel. Twelve Boeing 747 jumbo jets will be taken out of service by American and Trans World airlines, the companies have announced. American said it would ground 10, and TWA said it would mothball two effective with flight schedule cutbacks scheduled to go into effect Monday.

The Airlines said the move comes because of flight schedule cutbacks prompted by fuel shortages. A Chicago policeman who owns a gasoline station has been accused in a suit filed by the Internal Revenue Service of upping prices to more than $2 a gallon during the holiday weekend. IRS officials said the suit may be the first of its kind. The station was ordered closed by a federal court Sunday after an IRS agent allegedly was charged $2.10 a gallon for gasoline.
