WASHINGTON (AP) The Depart ment of Energy on Thursday spelled out tactics to cope with any winter shortages of natural gas, oil, coal, propane, or hydroelectric power, including possible allocation of fuels and mandatory thermostat settings. David J. Bardin, head of the depart ment's Economic Regulatory Ad ministration and chairman of a special task force, issued a two-volume "Energy Emergency Planning Guide." He said it is not a fixed plan of action, but rather a set of guidelines. The guide points out, for example, that the imposition of mandatory thermostat settings in non-residential buildings would be so hard to enforce and have such uncertain fuelsaving benefits that it probably would not be applied except in an extreme fuel shortage. The government prepared fuel emergency plans in past years, but these were mainly linked to immediate problems such as the Arab oil embargo "A CELEBRATION" "MARVELOUSLY FUNNY" ms , • : 4°IIIP • . :• :1 444tateCkahtf.

Assasi nation queries unanswered WASHINGTON ( AP) Newly disclosed FBI documents - on the assassination of John F. Kennedy raise, but do not answer, questions about Lee Harvey Oswald's movements in the days before Dallas, and about . the source of the bullets that killed the president. The 597 pages of documents are the first of more than 40,000 the FBI will release Dec. 7 to comply with requests under the Freedom of Information Act for its material on the investigation of Kennedy's death in Dallas, Nov. 22,1963. The first three volumes were provided to a private researcher several months ago and were made available to The Associated Press on Thursday. The documents, many heavily cen sored, show that the FBI attempted to trace the fatal bullets from the time they were manufactured until they reached the assassin's hands. - Agents were preplexed at first by a piece of evidence they found. . The bullets were 6.5-millimeter Mannlicher-Carcano ammunition. Agents determined that the manufac turer was the Western Cartridge Corp. of East Alton, 111 . . Agents in Illinois examined the company's production records and found that the firm produced four million rounds of this type of ammunition for the U.S. Marine Corps in 1954. "The interesting thing about this order is that it is for ammunition which does not fit and cannot be fired in any of the USMC weapons," said an FBI memo dated Dec. 2, 1963.

Donaldson said that the purpose of the comprehensive plan is to help boroughs and townships develop natural and community resources.

In other words, FBI officials speculated that the CIA was using the Marine Corps as a cover to purchase ammunition in secret. A memo written at FBI headquarters the next day noted that the George Zucker Sales Co. of Chicago had pur chased about two million rounds for commercial resale in 1962. In the first batch of files released,, these were the only two memos dealing with the ammunition. The material said Outing. Club completes Mid-State trail relocation The Outing Club has completed a relocation of the Mid-State Hiking Trail in Rothrock State Park. The construction of section three began in September, 1969 and moves the trail away from the Crowfield road, taking it farther into the woods. Tom Thwaites, faculty advisor for the Hiking Division of PSOC, said the 2.9 kilometer trail was, "really made with student power." Almost all sections of the trail were cleared and are main tained by PSOC members, Thwaites said. ' resources Thomas J. Pelick, Ferguson Township representative, reported that a corn mittee discussed several legislative bills with State Sen. J. Doyle Corman (R-34th senatorial district). These bills included flood plain legislation storm wateer management, and joint zoning or dinance. The commission voted to discuss the bills further with State Rep. Helen Wise, (D-77th district), before recommending any action to the local councils of governments. In other business the commission set up a nominating committee' for new officers for 1978. , nothing more to explain or resolve the agents' speculation. Nor was it known whether the files to be released next week, and another 40,000 pages due later, would shed more light on the question. The Warren Commission investigated• the assassination and concluded that Oswald, acting alone, killed Kennedy. The commission reported that this type, of ammunition "is readily available for purchase from mail order houses as well as a few gun shops." It noted that "some two million rounds have been placed on sale in the United States." • According to Thwaites the club started exploring for the trail in 1967. The first section opened in January, 1972 and the trail has been expanding ever since. The Mid-State Trail is located entirely on state park land and is a public recreational facility. 'Section three leaves the old route at Shingle Path, passes through Penn Roosevelt Park, climbs the western most ridge of Broad Mountain arid connects with the old route where Centre, Hunt-, ingdon and Mifflin Counties meet. —by Vicki Fong its by Betsy Long
