Canada Socks It to U.S. as Oil Outlook Worsens By Associated Press The approach of winter and the international oil shortage forced further moves Friday in the United States to economize on fuel. The U.S situation was heightened by the announcement of a heavy increase in Canada's tax on its crude oil exports. Beginning next month Canada will increase the tax from 40 cents a barrel to a whopping $1.90 a barrel. Particularly hard hit will be consumers in northern areas of the Midwest and Far which account for most of the one million gallons of Canadian oil used in the U.S.

each day, Federal officials earlier said they would act without delay on an emergency plan to deal with fuel shortages. The move followed reassessment of the ban by nine Arab nations on oil shipments to the U.S. Senate Interior Committee Chairman Henry A. Jackson said he and White House energy adviser John A. Love agreed on the action because "the crisis is much worse than all of us anticipated a week ago." Jackson revised upward an earlier loss figure of Arab oil from 1.2 million barrels a day to 3.3 million barrels a day.

The Senate Commerce Committee approved a bill Friday that would require manufacturers to label heating and cooling appliances to show expected operating costs. In Europe foreign ministers of the nine Common Market countries start two-day talks on the problem on Monday. They were split over whether to defy or bow to a cutoff of Arab oil shipments to The Netherlands, a market member. The Dutch have not concealed their affinity for the Israelis in the Middle East fighting, and the Arabs have accused them of being a transfer point for U.S. arms shipments during the war.

Rotterdam, the world's largest port, is the terminal for a pipeline through which much Arab oil is shipped to West Germany and other European consumers. Japan gets 80 per cent of its fuel from Middle East fields and was notified Friday by Shell International of Britain of new cutbacks in crude oil deliveries. Further reductions are expected. In the U.S. expected fuel shortages have prompted actions by state and local goverments.

Vermont has started to work on a plan for voluntary daylight saving time to add an extra hour of daylight in the afternoon and ease the fuel crunch. Wisconsin's new state office of emergency energy assistance will try to collate information on fuel inventories so surpluses in one place can be moved to areas of shortage. An Indiana official predicted many Hoosiers will be out of work this winter as fuel shortages close plants. Standard Oil Co. of California, Hawaii's major supplier of gasoline, has imposed a voluntary cutback.

It will allow its retail gas oline outlets to buy only 95 per cent of the volume they bought last November. Public transportation has also been hit. Cleveland and Memphis public transit officials say their suppliers have cut back on bus fuel, and they will have to reduce service accordingly. A shutdown of some Washington bus service was averted, at least temporarily, after Sun Oil Co. said it would stop supplying fuel because of federal mandatory fuel allocations.

Exxon and Mobil agree to supply fuel for November and December. Weather Snow watch. High today, 30s. Details, Page 10. it 'Right to Die9 Denied -1 i 4 V.

(AP) A judge refused Raymond A. McMahon's request for the right to die and sentenced him Friday to life imprisonment in the hit-and-run deaths of two young sisters. "I desire capital punishment," the 32-year-old former Bible student told Circuit Court Judge Herboth S.

Ryder during a brief hearing. "I don't think you have that right," replied the judge as he imposed two life sentences to be served concurrently for the July 14 hit-and-run incident. It claimed the lives of Roxanne Caton, 13, and her sister, Rabyn, 5. If the two young girls were alive today they would want you to live, Ryder told McMahon who stood emotionless before the bench. Under Florida law McMahon must serve 25 years before becoming eligible for parole.

The judge ordered that McMahon be treated at the state hospital as a mentally disordered sex offender before being sent to a state prison. McMahon was charged with two counts of first-degree murder. The state said he deliberately ran over the girls as they walked at dusk along the shoulder of a road near their home. He pleaded guilty Oct. 10 and told the judge he had an incurable sickness and wanted the right to be executed if the pain became unbearable.

McMahon said he had chest ailments and suffered sleepless nights and had stomach problems. The Florida Legislature reinstated the death penalty last year and the action was ruled constitutional earlier this year by the state Supreme Court. No one has been executed in Florida since 1964. if 3j Sixteen cars of a i Northern freight train are Bhown in -I jumbled wreckage at the north edge of 0 a that the report may mean the economy is starting to get overheated again. Herbert Stein, chairman of President Nixon's Council of Economic Advisers, said the report is a "most welcome development, contributing to the well-being of millions of American families." But Stein added that the drop means there is little room left for increasing economic output by bringing "unutilized labor into production.

"It increases the importance of policies of fiscal and monetary restraint v- to keep the expansion of economic activi-, ty to a sustainable rate and help bring inflation under control," he said. WASHINGTON (AP) The nation's unemployment rate plunged unexpectedly last month to the lowest level in more than three years, 4.5 per cent of the work force, the government said Friday. The sharp retreat from September's 4.8 per cent jobless rate represented the first significant change in the national unemployment picture since June. It put the Nixon administration squarely in the center of its year-end unemployment target. Administration economists expressed delight at the improving jobs situation.

Sen.

William Proxmire, vice chairman of the congressional Joint Economic Committee, said: "I welcome this unemployment improvement with enthusiasm I urge the tion to take this progress as a further spur to continue action that will reduce unemployment." The October jobs report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed a strong month for employment, which rose by 570,000 workers in seasonally adjusted figures to 85.7 million. Benefiting most were adult men, who landed more than 300,000 of the new jobs. The remainder was divided equally between teen-agers and adult women. The average work week for rank-and-file workers on nonagricultural payrolls, dropped last month by two-tenths of an hour to 37 hours. Average weekly earnings dropped by 82 cents to $147.63.

This figure is $8.13 higher than a year ago, the report said. Cloudy, Chilly Day Followed by Snow Watch Mostly overcast skies dominated in a chilled Siouxland Friday with the mercury topping at 46 after an early-morning low of 34. The average temperature of 40 was four degrees below the normal for a November 2. A fast developing low pressure dis-trubance over southwest Colorado poses a possibility for heavy snow in western Iowa as the disturbance moves rapidly eastward. A heavy snow watch has been issued for tonight by the Sioux City weather station.

Some snow accumulation is likely, according to the official report, but the amount is keyed to how far south of this area the storm system tracks. in mahup Brief YOUR SIOUX CITY JOURNAL CARRIER-SALESMAN ALVORD, Iowa Sixteen cars of an 80-car Burlington WILL RING YOUR BELL SOON WASHINGTON (AP) President Nixon knew two subpoenaed Watergate tapes were missing more than a month before the White House acknowledged in open court that they didn't exist, a presidential aide testified Friday. After two days of a federal court hearing, the Watergate prosecution force still was not satisfied that it knows all the circumstances surrounding the phantom tapes and the hearing was scheduled to resume Tuesday with White House aide Stephen Bull still on the stand. Prosecutors suggested Friday that it would be helpful if the White House supplied a tape from June 4, when Nixon played back a number of his own recorded conversations during a 12-hour session in his bugged hideaway in the Executive Office Building. They wanted to determine if the June 4 tape contained a playback by Nixon of one of the phantom recordings.

But the June 4 tape is not among those ordered disclosed by a federal appeals court, and a White House lawyer objected to turning it over. The judge sustained him. Bull told the court Friday that he was reviewing a batch of White House tape recordings at Nixon's request at Camp David, on Sept. 29 and found that conversations of June 20, 1972, and April 15, 1973, were not in the tapes. Not until last Wednesday did the White House publicly acknowledge that the two recordings were nonexistent.

Bull said he was told on Sept. 29 that Nixon "wished to begin a review of certain conversations requested by either the Senate (Watergate) committee or the Cox committee." Bull said the tapes were carried to the Catoctin Mountain presidential retreat where he began reviewing the tapes.

The Tax Research Conference Friday recommended that Woodbury County defer plans for a rehabilitation center at the county home pending further study. The Board of Supervisors has proposed expenditure of $400,000 in federal revenue sharing funds for the work at the county home, and the issue is already on the ballot in next Tuesday's general election. At a special meeting of the Conference Friday the board of directors heard a presentation by Ken Rodeen, Woodbury County supervisor, on the county's plans for the center.

The conference directors expressed opinion that improved facilities and programs at the county home would be a commendable application of revenue sharing funds. However, because of "conference concern that any changes in the home should afford the residents the best possible life style," the directors voted to recommend that Woodbury County defer a building program for the time being and Immediately begin a comprehensive study of programs and facilities that would add quality to the patients' lives and meet present and future state regulations. The conference recommends that the county set aside revenue sharing money to meet this priority need and hold the necessary referendum for voter approval after definite state approved plans are completed. "We hope in this way," Chairman Lloyd Fark stated, "that the welfare of county home residents can be served to the best of the county's professional and financial ability." Although the county home project is not endorsed by the Conference, a proposal for the repair of the county courthouse windows with sharing funds, also on the ballot Tuesday, was endorsed. I.
