The White House statement plan was a calculated step in campaign to defeat the Democratic plan when it comes up for a Senate vote Monday afternoon.

Many congressional observers believe, however, that Nixon would be hard-put to disapprove a bill that contains key elements of his economic program. The Democratic campaign plan, sponsored by Sen. John 0. Pastore of Rhode Island, would provide any major party 1972 presidential nominee with $20.4 million in federal funds to finance his post-convention campaign, but only if he agreed to limit his entire expenditure to this amount. The money would come from a fund by individual taxpayers who, voluntarily agreed to earmark $1 of their 1972 income tax payment for such political activity.

If he preferred, a presidential nominee could pass up the public funding and raise and spend an unlimited amount of private contributions as in the past. MacGregor said the White House campaign to defeat the Pastore amendment would concentrate on switching the votes of Democratic senators who had supported the plan See PRESIDENT, Page 2 News Service Nixon is considering a veto of his desk with the Democratic 1972 presidential campaign House congressional lobbyPresident regards the campaign irresponsible," and, if it is would necessarily have to con- was made known as the bill. to veto his own tax measure, that would have limited the adopted.

"Perhaps this is Allah's will that I should get this chance for meeting with you now to tell you that our decision is fighting the agency quoted Sadat as saying. "We were convinced that the battle was coming and now it has become certain to us that hope has died and there is no longer any discussion around it." The agency said the decision was taken after what Sadat termed "a period of elusiveness and Israeli stubbornness." He added: "I have come to tell you that the time for battle has come, that there is no more hope The agency said Sadat, who spent Friday and Saturday touring frontline positions along the Suez Canal, exhorted his to "be ferocious in battroops tle to prove to the world that we are fighting people who know how to defend our dignity and honor." Sadat has repeatedly declared that 1971 would be a year of decision in the Middle East, saying Egypt could not go on forever in a state of no war, no peaco with its lands occupied Israel. His comments carried less than an hour after United Nations General Assembly President Adam Malik told newsmen during an airport stopover that peace in the Middle East depends on withdrawal of Israeli forces from territory they occupied in June 1967 war.

The question is scheduled to be raised by Egypt next month at the assembly. 1 Mayor Tom Bradshaw rode in the rear seat of a convertible, almost smothered by his four little kids.

Faces Natural Gas Shortage By HOMER BIGART normal winter, unthe supplies A suspicion that the when-available basis and next winter of shortage this relatively have the capacity to shift to to operate full blast, but open politicking is expected to slack off. Scores of political figures will be heading for duck blinds and deer stands for the next several days. One big party going to Lake Mattamuskeet this week is being hosted by Bill White of Fayetteville, a key Bowles political associate. The Christmas season was on the mind of Atty. Gen.

Robert Morgan as he pulled See DOME, PAge 7 New York Times News Service WASHINGTON Natural gas distributors across the country are warning their customers of possible curtailments over the winter, and in some areas gas companies are refusing to take on large new users, and even some residences. Barring, a long period of subnormal cold, no major industrial shutdown is expected because of the worsening gas shortage. But if the winter is bad, the big industrial users in the critical area would be the first to be cut off. And even if the nation's gas users are blessed with a year 1973-73 will be even tighter and only long months of mild weather will squeak the nation through. The causes of the shortage are a matter of controversy, and the Federal Trade Commission, has been investigating the situation since last winter, is expected to issue its report in about two months, according to an FTC spokesman.

Greed, lack of foresight, over-regulation by the government and soaring demands accelerated by the crusade against air pollution have all been blamed for the tight supply. cheap and clean fuel is artifically created by the gas industry to force higher prices is harbored some observers. The industry contends, however, that the cause of the shortage is simple: consumption is outpacing the discovery of new deposits at an ominous rate. With the approach of winter, gas distributors have been warning industrial customers to expect curtailments. They have announced priority lists for cutoffs emergency.

The first to be curtailed would be the factories and power plants that contract for gas on an "interrupible" or alternate feels: oil or lowsulphur coal. Next to be cut would be the industrials with "firm" contracts that count on getting their full gas requirements. Commercial customers shopping centers, department stores, theaters, restaurants -would be factories deprived only after had been shut and as a next-to-last resort. And, finally, in the direst of crises, the "human-needs" customers schools, public buildings, hospitals and homes would go cold. Even a brief halt in gas service can be more disruptive than a power outage.

For safety reasons, gas service must be manually restored house by house. Crews must check every meter and every appliance as a precaution against escaping gas. Rarely has a gas company "lost a town," that is, shut off supplies to a whole community. It happened in Hagerstown, on Oct. 1, 1968, when a pipeline explosion several miles from the city forced Columbia Gas to sever 9,000 customers.

Emergency crews were rushed to Hagerstown from a wide area. But a force of 170 men and 57 trucks needed See SHORTAGE, Page 8.
