Nat'l Observer banners "Energy Crisis Is a Blessing" w/ kicker:
"Many Americans, for many reasons, say that.

"Energy
Shortage Strikes Home¹ is main cover story in US News while both
Time and Nwswk feature ''RMW's Boo-Boo", "The Secy. and the

(Trib. banner)
"There's a lot of hairshirt masochism in view¹¹ that's rationing
inevitable, said John Jessup on CBS Spectrum. "It should be last
resort since it's far more disruptive and inefficient than other
measures yet tested. 11 RN's 1st steps have only begun and prices
aren't rising as they must. As for US accepting less energy, Jessup
notes drop in meat consumption after much complaining over its
price last summer.
GOP friend told Nat'l Observer's Perry that energy crisis shouldn't
exist since we knew it's been coming for 10 years and solar energy
should have been developed. He also rapped duplication of effort in
burocracy and its inability to handle problem given conflicting con-
stituencies. Further this "intelligent" GOP friend of Perry's says
time for rationing is now. Longer we wait the more the supply
diminishes. Rationing will be a mess as it can't be administered
fairly and people will be furious. "For RN, it's devastating".
Friend believes rule about RN's situation is "if things can get worse
they will. 11 When you don't have any credibility, each crisis is a
catastrophe. This time unemployed will include middle class and
even better than that, friend said. The more you think about it, the
worse it seems. Where will revenue come from to pay off turnpike
bonds w/traffic down? What if DJ should keep going straight down?
