Monday Nov. 19, 1973 The Coshocton Tribune 1 i Commentary i Shortage May Be Profitable By ROBERT F. BUCKHORN WASHINGTON (UPI) To most Americans, a gasoline shortage and possible rationing will be an annoying and perhaps expensive To some fast-buck operators, and even reputable businessmen, it will be a prefitmaker. As gasoline supplies go down, the "cream skimmers" will be in the market place with items to ease your misfortune and at the same time turn a tidy profit for themselves. Their argument will run like this: If gas is short, you need to protect your supply, right? How do you do this? Why, buy a newly manufactured gasoline tank cap equipped with an antitheft lock, of course.

A Black Market You can count on the hucksters to sell siphon hoses, too. Can the nation's 100 million motorists afford to be without siphon hoses if gas is short? On a more menacing note, the threat of a black market is the handmaiden of any rationing plan. During World War II, the high profit margins created a flourishing black market in gasoline at the retail level. Some industries will profit in a legal way from the fuel crisis fallout. The airline The same type of monetary windfall could come to the tire industry which is now in the midst of a campaign to sell radial tires which provide better gas also carry stiffer price tags compared to conventional tires.

In Congress, support for the Alaska pipeline expected to be a profit bonanza for an oil company combine increased rapidly as the fuel crisis worsened. On another front, Charles DiBona, deputy director of the White House Energy Policy Office, admitted he already had been approached by firms eager to take on the job of printing millions of gas rationing coupons, if needed. But if there is profit for some, there is absolutely none for the consumer. Not only will he get less gasoline for his car, but one of the possible strategies discussed to combat the shortage is to tax the consumer substantially more (maybe up to 30 to 40 cents a gallon) for the gas he does get. industry is one.

Plagued in recent years by massive losses, the airlines have blamed part of their financial problem on excessive competition. Forbidden by antitrust laws to hold talks on joint flight cuts, and fearful that unilateral action would give their competitors an advantage, the airlines claim they were forced to keep money-losing flights in operation. Flight Cuts But now the government has given the industry its blessing to hold flight cutback talks as a way to conserve fuel. The result: 400 flights a day have been cut from domestic flight schedules, and Pan American and Trans World have been giving permission to hold cutback talks with foreign airlines. Critics of the decision argue that the government is allowing the airlines to avoid competition and at the same time to cut the level of service provided the public.

Besides attending to affairs of state, which more than fill a normal working day, Nixon has been obliged to make time for a host of activities not imposed on previous Presidents.

BELGRADE (UPI) There is a tale in Yugoslavia that when authorities put light reflectors down on the main Zagreb to Belgrade' highway the peasants took them all up to put on the backs of their carts. True or not, the story illustrates the problems of moving from a rural to a motorized age in the space of little more than a decade. During the 1960s the number of Yugoslav-registered cars on the roads increased nine times with the current figure topping the million mark, but there are still less than 70 miles of motorway and only 30 per cent of the roads are asphalted.

Now, in a bid to give the country the kind of modern road network it badly needs, the federal government and an Inter-Republic Committee are working out a national i ftf. ltl.31 Limit 2 pb. on wi it wi 1 1 I 1 WAYNE DELICIOUS CANDY with coupon firs. fell 77 I i rrv jej It rootff ttc a. -fTT: Sun-Baked Desert Now Test Ground I--- 1 MAGI CUBES PKO.

Any Greek or Turk about to drive through Yugoslavia is likely to receive a leaflet in his own language warning him to drive carefully and setting out the number of accidents suffered by his countrymen on Yugoslav roads. The figures show that of the 130 foreigners who died on Yugoslav roads last year 40 were Turks most of them speeding home in newly bought, but often poorly serviced second-hand cars after a stint of work in Western Europe.

In another measure to help save the lives of transiting motorists, selected roadside inns have been officially encouraged to offer Greek and Turkish cooking to persuade drivers to rest over and break their journeys.

k. 11. Ob traffic plan to concentrate funds on key projects the first Of which will be a 'main trunk road running the length of the country and linking the principal cities of Belgrade, Llubijana and Zagreb. "Croatia and Serbia are jointly seeking solutions to find money to finance the construction of the Belgrade to Zagreb highway," Blagoje Popov, Yugoslav minister of transport, said recently. The present two-lane road between Belgrade and Zagreb was built after World War II by youth brigades whose enthusiasm to finish the task quickly did not match their roadbuilding skill.

The traffic choked road Is now constantly under repair. As a result this highway and the main Adriatic coast road have become the two most dangerous in Yugoslavia according to Construction work at the remote site, about 20 miles east of Pueblo in southern Colorado, still is in progress. One of the most massive undertakings is a Wheel-Rail Dynamics Laboratory, a multi-million dollar structure that will do for trains what a wind tunnel does for planes. It may be ready for use next year. Also tested has been the State of the Art Car (SOAC).

It or a similar vehicle may eventually be used to speed commuters between suburbs and core cities. SOAC, which will be used in further tests in the New York area, was damaged in a switching accident earlier In the year, but is expected to return for more testing by February. Grunwald said other work at the site, which was designated in January, 1970, by Secretary of Transportation John V. Volpe, will include tests in which locomotives and rail cars are deliberately smashed into other trains and automobiles. In train collisions, there frequently occurs a telescoping effect which bunches railroad cars together, posing a particular danger to passengers.

"That sort of thing is particularly important In passenger trains where if you can minimize or eliminate the telescoping effect the danger to individual passengers Is lessened," Grunwald said. mmmr rmmm i 20 OF FILM PROCESSING 3S6 If Mm Midori1 1 1 Limit 1 b9 I I ii II I I limit mi i i Ml 1 1 mi of SIP, KODAK, FUJI RI00 md FUJI KIWI Irlnt your film to lucktyi Mirt intf im with this toupon on development. Limit 2 ratio, Tly JOHN J. SANKO PUEBLO, Colo. (UPI) -Sleek red and white rocket-shaped vehicles now race along tracks in a sun-baked desert area once infested by rattlesnakes.

Although a sign still stands warning of the snakes, most have departed for other sites and workers at the Department of Transportation's High Speed Ground Test Center can concentrate on things other than reptiles. Much of the attention is centered on what officials describe as their two Buck Rogers' type vehicles a Tracked Air Cushion Research Vehicle which may someday hit speeds of up to 300 miles an hour and an aluminum-skinned Linear Induction Motor Test Vehicle capable of 250-mile-anhour speeds. Although neither may ever run on tracks anywhere than at the center, they should provide information that will lead to vehicles of the future. Kal Grunwald, project monitdr for the two vehicles at the test site east of Pueblo, says a lot more is involved at the center even if the projects are not as spectacular. "We feel one of our main purposes is to assist the railroads in evaluating concepts and present day problems which they face," he said.

"We test or eventually will test just about everything." nESSCSkCLkl rn 66 n.fotl Im "to I Lw iif, mmmm mt. I I I KM. If L(mM 1 1 II 0Z. CAN PLAYD0H with coupon 2s1 IHl.l l.f. I 11.
