(AP) The game of is as recent as those patience-shattering lines between your car and the gas pump, but Florida politicians are playing it for all worth.

Floridians were treated to the first outbreak of politicians rushing to claim credit for increased gasoline supplies about a week ago. The Federal Energy Office responding to pleadings from Tallahassee and the congressional delegation in Washington, granted emergency release of 5.8 million gallons of gasoline. State energy officials, who work for Gov Reubin Askew, and Sen. Lawton Chiles, finished in a dead heat in the race to be first with the announcement. That was the beginning.

Rep. C. W. Young, R- St. Petersburg, told The St Petersburg Times last Wednesday that the FEO would release 12 million more gallons of gasoline for Florida.

Meanwhile, JT.O confirmation of the 12 million gas supply, which was to be an advance against March allocations, was snarled overnight in the red tape machine. Although state officials knew the state had been authorized to borrow against March to get through February, they denied I of Republican story. His face as red as the tape, Young suffered through an embarassing day. But while Florida energy chief Homer Hutchinson was disclaiming announcement, the state energy czar was drawing up plans to distribute the 12 million gallons. Askew, designated by FEO as the Florida official responsible for distributing gasoline, finally confirmed announcement Thursday evening.

That was after the governor chewed Young out for lumping the gun. Askew and Chiles got together the next day, announcing at a news conference they would sue the federal government if Florida get more gas in big hurry. Well, almost together. In response to a question, Askew said he would not support a system of putting on a windshield that would determine when he could buy gasoline. careful Chiles interrupted.

Edward Gurney, held a news conference in Tallahassee, but he played petrol politics without announcing any new gasoline supplies. Gurney conceded that he had played a part in getting more gas for Florida, but added, not claiming full responsibility for aides announced Friday a 12 million gallon gasoline grant from the FEO.

They said the state would therefore drop plans to borrow the previously announced 12 million gallon advance. On Saturday the state received a telegram from the FEO that heralded another 12 million gallon grant. The telegram, specifically stated that Florida would get 29.48 million gallons of gasoline.
