Rcubin Askew announced in Tampa yesterday a voluntary odd-even days gasoline selling plan and said local governments probably should make the same, voluntary approach. "The local area can make it mandatory. I cannot," the governor told newsmen.

Askew outlined his plan at a press conference in Tallahassee and then later at the Florida State Fair Governor's Day luncheon in Tampa. One of those' attending the luncheon was Atty. Gen. Robert who agreed the governor' is without constitutional authority to mandate such a plan. "I agree, it would take an act of the legislature," Shevin He explained that for the plan to be a mandatory one it would have to include enforcement, and only the legislature can provide penalties for offenses and crimes.

Simon yesterday prohibited service stations from discriminating against buyers by selling gasoline only to regular customers or those who purchase large amounts of gasoline in advance. Simon, acting under his authority to control prices and allocation of motor fuels, urged motorists to contact the Internal Revenue Service immediately if they believed they were being discriminated against in violation of his new ban.

SIMON SAID his anti-discrimination order against service station operators, effective immediately, was prompted by the "growing nationwide practice of gasoline and diesel retailers selling only to regular customers or those who commit themselves to advance purchases." The amendment to the allocation-pricing regulations said: "Sellers whose normal business practice has been to serve the public may not modify that practice to sell only to regular customers or otherwise arbitrarily discriminate among purchasers of an allocated product."
