18 pages Newark, Ohio, Friday, Dec. 28, 1973 10 cents Gas 1 (rationing details drawn MmtiMXKfimrt. ci it xm. WASHINGTON (AP) It looks like a shrunken dollar bill but it could become more valuable than the real thing if the government rations gasoline The ration coupons, being readied for that doleful day, bear the picture of George Washington and the inscription One unit of gasoline There is a place for your state, your license plate number and your name. If you are age 18 or over and a licensed driver you'll get a month's supply of coupons for $1 You can sell the coupons for whatever you can get if you don't need them You can buy them at the going rate if you need more.

That, in essence, is how it will work. A coupon might be worth five gallons one month, six gallons the next. Energy Chief William E. Simon estimates that the monthly average per driver will be 32-35 gallons. But how many coupons you will get for your Initial dollar will.

Come March 1, the earliest the program could be put in effect, this is what might happen You'd receive an authorization card in the mail, prepared by your state's driver's license computer. In the two-week period before rationing starts, you take the card to a bank or post office that decision hasn't been made for one month's supply of coupons. It will cost $1.

to defray the $1.4 billion annual bill for the rationing machinery The coupons will be printed in a different color each month, but are spendable over a 60-day period. There will be announcements of how many gallons you can buy with them; and changes could be made month by month. Your service station will collect the right number of coupons and turn them in to a bank to account for the number of gallons he's sold. The government won't have any part in the private horsetrading over coupons. They can be sold by anyone who's got them and the price will depend on supply and demand.

Simon predicts the so-called white market will quickly level out and there'll be a going rate. He estimates that gasoline will cost 70-75 cents a gallon with a combination of white market tickets and pump price. Gas coupon like this, measuring one and one-half by three inches.

He served as president of the Licking County Bar Association in 1965. Hanna died without seeing his major goal as juvenile judge realized construction of a county juvenile detention center. Throughout his career.

Hanna worked to secure funds for a facility that could be used as a rehabilitation center for youth When the decision to buildd a center was announced, Hanna said, "Such a facility can take us a long way toward providing the help that the young people of Licking County need so badly." Donald Hill, commissioner president, said this morning that Hanna's death "is a great loss to the community He was deeply concerned about helping the county's young people, and the new detention center will be in part a tribute to his work." Null smaller cars and that factories furnish buses to pick up their employes. "It would make people more economical." Mrs. Alex Sepos. 66 Gainor said. "My husband and I don't have a car, we do a lot of walking, and we like it." But some gasoline dealers are not optimistic as interviews with three of five today indicate.

"It's like everything else the government gets into, they mess things up," a spokesman at Heath Marathon, 1066 Hebron said, adding, "And everything they (the government) do hurt us." Another dealer, Roy Thompson, of Thompson's Sohio, Newark Granville Road, said he would leave "everything up to Dicky," he added, "What I really have to say, you wouldn't want to print." A spokesman at Union 76, 411 Union said discount stores and the like should be closed down to stop the driving, instead of limiting gasoline. Home heat ordered cut by 6 degrees WASHINGTON (AP) Energy chief William E. Simon ordered during the night a six-degree cut in oil-fired home heating and put service stations last in line for gasoline, starting Jan. 15. Differing fundamentally from previous appeals, Simon's order to lower thermostats now placed a direct legal obligation on the householder or property-owner to comply.

If he doesn't, he will run out of oil. For a consumer, that is the only legal penalty. Fines run up to $5,000 for any violation by his supplier. Commercial buildings heated with oil must drop their thermostats 10 degrees. The temperature reductions must be made below the thermostat settings used in the corresponding month of 1972.

Buildings heated with gas, electricity or coal are not included in this order. The Federal Energy Office said it was making Jan. 15 "the implementation date for all provisions" regardless of varying dates of legal effectiveness because of substantial revisions that made it "impractical to expect instantaneous cmmpliance." The administration has had mandatory allocation programs in effect for propane since last Oct 2 and for middle distillate oils, including home heating oil and diesel fuel, since Nov. 1. But they are relatively crude systems, assigning priorities to certain classes of users, but without the detailed quantities, percentages, and thermostat reductions imposed by the new regulations.

Rules for gasoline, butane gas, home heating oil and diesel fuel take effect Jan 11. replacing existing programs in effect until then The other regulations are now effective and all of them are to be fully applied beginning Jan 15. The official regulations included many revisions since they were proposed last Dec 12, but the gasoline allocation system was virtually unchanged. It assigned top priority to essential services purchasing gasoline in bulk, second priority to other businesses purchasing in bulk and the leftovers to all others including the service stations. The regulations left unspecified just how much gasoline would be made available, but remarks by Simon earlier Thursday appeared to indicate that the previously-proposed reduction in gasoline production to a level 5 per cent lower than in 1972 probably would be adopted While the original proposal spelled that out.

the version finally adopted left it up to Simon's Federal Energy Office to set the reduction and revise it quarterly Sir told newsmen Thursday gasoline allocation be cut some 900.000 barrels per day -the amount which was the basis for the original proposal. In gasoline allocations, top priority is assigned to bulk purchasers engaged in energy production, agriculture, public transportation and emergency services, to receive all they need.

That's what people will have to do if gasoline is rationed by coupons, according to a survey in downtown Newark today. Most agreed that rationing would not affect them very mich, but that it would hurt their driving friends. Most said they have friends who could never make it to work on 35 gallons a month, as is suggested by Energy Chief William E. Simon as a possible gas allowance. The comments came in the wake of Thursday's announcement of tentative plans for coupon distribution, possibly placed in operation by March 1.

Tentative plans call for a limited supply of gasoline for each licensed driver age 18 and over. 1 Mrs. Oscar Williams, 61 Hoover who does not drive a car said she has a son-in-law who often drives to school at Ohio University in Athens. "He's just not going to be able to go back and forth as often," she said. "And he's not the only one.

What about some of these people who have jobs far away?" A friend of John Johnson, 84 Wayne would find himself bargaining for the coupons of others if limited distribution goes into effect, Johnson said. "He has to drive from here to Reynoldsburg to work about 10 gallons a week," Johnson said. "There's going to be a lot of bootlegging going on if we have coupons. People will have to engage in it to make it." Norwell Root. 29 Locust said the rationing would give him enough gasoline to drive back and forth to work at Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corp.

"Why drive a car to get groceries when you can walk there? People are just too lazy She added that those who would suffer under a rationing system would be persons who live in the country and "won't be able to go anywhere." "It would hold people down on trips and that's good." Ralph Jackson, Granville Sttreet, said. "But I' say the guy who's working deserves more gasoline. It ought to be rationed in proportion to that need." Jackson, who drives a small car on "sometimes a quart a day," suggested that others should buy With his lunch pail in hand, Chores Hart fees a fire that erupted Thursday at Arnett Peck Sign Industries in downtown Memphis, Term.
