Gas rationing starts in California
By United Press International
The nation's first gasoline rationing
plan since 1974 a system based on odd,
and even license plate numbers began
in California yesterday. Lines at the
pumps were long, but many motorists
had only about half the wait of previous
days.
At least 14 California counties in
stituted the rationing plan, which allows
autos with license plates ending in odd
numbers to buy gas on odd-numbered
days, and likewise with even numbers.
The plan was going into effect at various
times through Monday in the various
counties, and other counties were ex
pected to join the list.
The gasoline shortage also was being
felt in the East, where dwindling sup
plies were leading to closed stations.
About 80 percent 'of New York stations
were closing Sundays, except in resort
areas, and others were cutting their
hours on a day-to-day basis.
Stand-by rationing plans were being
drawn up in Connecticut and
Massachusetts.
Across the nation, gasoline was going
for prices in the upper 70-cent range to
the 90-cent range.
Some Colorado service station owners
said they wanted to join the 15,000-
member California Service Station
Association, which has asked for a
nationwide shutdown of stations for four
days to protest federal limits on gas
profits
The San Francisco Board of Super
visors had wanted to wait a week to
consider whether or not to join the odd
even rationing idea, but a flood of
telephone calls convinced them to take
up the idea today.
Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. signed the
emergency order allowing the plan
anytime after 12:01 a.m. yesterday in
counties that requested it.
In Los Angeles, stations in suburban
areas seemed to feel the change the
most. But while some suburban stations
appeared empty, an average of 50 autos
waited in pump lines near downtown in
the nation's third largest city.
In Los Angeles, a key provision of the
rationing plan restricted a motorist to a
maximum of 20 gallons and provided
that his gas tank had to be at least half
empty for him to get any gas at all. This
was to avoid .a run on gasoline by
motorists "topping off" nearly full tanks
with small amounts.
"I come to this station frequently and
the lines seem to be just as long today,"
said Paul Martin, who joined a line at a
Shell station that began at 6 a.m.
"I don't - .think - the odd-even—
distribution plan is going to change
things toe much," said Lung Xay. "It's
very difficult for a person working 8-to-5
to find any stations open when they
return from work.
"The only time they can get gas is in
the morning because most stations close
before 5, so- the lines will probably be
just as long in the morning."
Some motorists whose plates were
even numbers tried to get gas anyway.
"I was the second person in line and

the attendant said he couldn't give tile
any gas because I had the wrong
number," said Iris Schafer. "I just
wanted two gallons to get down ,the
block. I forgot my license plate nurri,ber
was even."
Some station attendants said they
would not act as policemen to enfgEr i e
the "no topping off" provision of ,The
plan, which in some places carried a 800
fine and a six-month jail term. ;J:c
"We'll peek in (the car at the gas
gauge) but we wouldn't dare stick our
heads in the window," said Nishi "Tctrii"

station. ;;.,.

said, saying he feared being purichesl ,qr
sued for trespassing.
"This line is less than half of the 6e
yesterday at this time," said Steve
Kovacs, an attendant.
The limited supplies has led to a Reis ,
crime— gas stealing. Between 800 l a d
1,000 gallons of unleaded gasoline were
taken from underground storage taroks
at the Leddy and Hall station, in
Hawthorne. •
