Gregory Nokes Washington a when Treasury Secretary George p. Shultz disclosed Strong objections to gasoline rationing he also exposed some of the administration infighting and Power struggles Over Energy policy. He said some people were overreacting to the Energy crisis and that if americans acted intelligently they could avoid Gaso line rationing. Treasury sources said Shultz is concerned that some administration officials Are making the shortage seem More Seri Ous than it is and Are getting carried away with the idea of gasoline rationing without giving adequate consideration to alternatives. But his statement conflicted with those of Interior Secretary Rogers . Morton and White House Energy adviser John love who were saying that rationing is about a certainty by the beginning of 1974. His statement came As a real sur prise said one Treasury source.

Consideration is being Given to reducing taxes in other areas such As for Telephone service so that there will be a Trade off of the tax Burden. There might also be provision for exemptions or tax refunds for persons for whom gasoline is essential in their work such As taxi Drivers. Treasury economists also Are stud Ying various rationing proposals As Are analysts from other agencies but none of these plans has reached the upper echelons of the administration where the Deci Sions will be made. The Treasury department recommended a 10-cent-a-gallon tax increase on Gaso line last summer but it was rejected by the White House.

Program for crude Oil last summer but that died on love s desk. Shultz said i m one of those who Long sought to convince people that we have a major Energy problem. It s been hard to Wake people up to  but now he complained people Are overreacting and Are scared out of their  he said he feels that the support by other administration spokesmen for Gaso line rationing is an example of this. Herbert f. Stein chairman of the presi Dent s Council of economic advisers Fol Lowed a Day later by saying that he thinks the administration would opt for tax in creases on gasoline rather than rationing. The hostility in the Treasury depart ment toward love stems from a feeling there that he was slow to act on the Energy problem. Morton is regarded by these same sources As a newcomer to the problem who is seeking to administer the program. But the same criticism has been level Dat Simon. If there is gasoline rationing a Large new bureaucracy would be needed and someone to run it and this logically would fall under the Interior department s new office of Petroleum allocation already set up to administer the mandatory allocation programs for heating Oil Jet fuel and Kero Sene. But if the administration opts for a higher gasoline tax and can get Congress to go along the Treasury department would handle that since it already collects a four cent a gallon gasoline tax. Morton has defenders who say he is not late to the Energy crisis at All but has Long been working to consolidate the disparate responsibilities for Energy problems now spread Over dozens of agencies.

After love was named Simon report edly wished to give up the policy commit tee position but that did t come about until his office issued a news release on oct. 15 with recommendations on ways americans could conserve Energy. The implication was that the United states by following a rigid conservation program could temporarily do without imports of Arab Oil. But the action was seen by love s office As undercutting love s own programs. 10th anniversary of death Nixon asks remembrance of Juk on thanksgiving from press dispatches Washington president Nixon Fri Day proclaimed thanksgiving Day this year As a Day of prayer in memory of pres ident John f.
