8 ENERGY W/winter looming, said ABC's Landay, RN opted for shift from voluntary program reluctantly. Mandatory policy will seek to distribute insufficient supply fairly. Propane allocation begins immediately, noted all nets; heating oil in 2 weeks. NBC noted there'd be 1,000 employed in 12 regional offices. Love on CBS said desire is for no. 1 area of economy to suffer and to avoid any house, hospital or farm from going w/out adequate fuel. On ABC he said it'd not be easy to ration heating oil and thus if severe cuts are needed, it'd result in doing away w/some lesser-needed uses. On film on all nets, Morton said allocation would "spread [any] discomfort out so thinly it won't have a significant effect on the economy or lifestyles. " NBC's Brokaw said Admin hopes may be very wishful as they depend on cooperation of public and on luck. And tho Admin hopes this program won't last too long, it could be beginning of rationing of all fuels, including gasoline next year. House is expected to act next week on Senate bill to require mandatory allocation of all fuels. Jackson said Admin decision was piecemeal approach to larger problem. "Hopefully, announcement means seriousness of shortages is getting thru to Admin. 11 Conte said action came after "5 months of fiddling around and political buckpassing to recognize what every- one knew last May. 11 Eagleton said "for 5 months Admin sat on its hands refusing to use the authority Hill gave it. 11 Torbert Donald was "greatly disappointed" in limited program. He said "in reality the needs of US are much, much greater Halfway measures will only make matters worse 11 But Maine's Hill delegation praised the move while adding it "may not prevent shortages if weather is severe. 11 EMK urged Admin to immediately issue regs into effect, saying delay "has virtually insured that unless there's an unusually mild winter, people in New Engl. will experience periods when they' 11 not have oil to burn. 11
