Carey of 2205 Oil allocations at a glance WASHINGTON (AP) New regulations signed late Thursday by energy chief William E. Simon spell out just who can get how much of the nation's sh'ortage-plagued petroleum. Here, at a glance, are key provisions: APPLICATION Begins Jan. 15, 1974. GASOLINE PRODUCTION Will be reduced to some fraction of 1972 production, to be announced and revised quarter- Berkley and a 1973 auto driven ly.

Indications are.thatthn first by Daniel of Rising' cutback will be to 95 per cent of Star. 1972 levels. Energy crisis spurs a presidential first WASHINGTON (AP) The energy crisis appears to have spurred a presidential first. When President Nixon flew to California Wednesday he apparently became the first president to fly a regularly scheduled commercial airliner while in office. Saying he was acting to set an example in energy conservation, the President took a United Air Lines flight.

A White House press aide, Bruce Welihan, said records there showed no earlier instances of an incumbent president traveling by commercial flights instead of private or government chartered craft. Prior to this trip President Nixon has traveled aboard Air Force jets. A check with the Franklin Roosevelt library indicated that during his presidency Roosevelt only took three air trips, One of these was on a government airplane and the other two on commercial planes under contract to the Navy, During his presidency Dwight D. Eisenhower made no commercial flights. He occasionally used a light plane for trips to his farm at Gettysburg, with Air Force pilots at the controls.

When he was President-elect, John F. Kennedy flew from Florida to Washington on a commercial plane, but that was a charter flight. Kennedy used the plane, which had been chartered by the press, to return to Washington upon learning of the imminent birth of a child to his wife. Harry S. Truman also made no commercial flights as president.

Energy Chief William E. Simon said he applauded the President's action in taking the commercial flight, but said he had not recommended it. He noted that "it is a very large security problem." GASOLINE ALLOCATION Energy production, agriculture, public transportation and emergency services which purchase gasoline in bulk get all of their current needs. Other businesses purchasing in bulk get as much as in 1972. The remainder is shared by all others, including service stations.

MIDDLE DISTILLATE OIL Primarily home heating oil and diesel fuel. First priority goes to: energy production.and. 'public" transportation, getting all they need; emergency services, getting as much as in 1972; heating users, getting enough to maintain temperatures reduced, -fir homes' and 10 degrees in other buildings. Second priority goes to: agriculture, industry, freight and mail hauling, to get 10 per cent more than in 1972; and others, getting as much as in 1972. PETROCHEMICAL' PRODUCTION Gets enough oil subject to allocation to assure all of the needed raw material.
