LOS ANGELES (AP) — Odd-even gasoline tales In
California will be reimposed. Gov Jerry Brown said Monday,
in a show of "solidarity” with Pres Carter s plan to halt the
import of Iranian oil
Brown, a candidate for the 1980 Democratic presidential
nomination, said he supports Carter s action and will not try to
second-guess the president while the 60 Americans are being
held hostage at the U S Embassy in Tehran
Brown said he will reimpose the odd-even plan "as a
move to further the conservation effort of this state and make
sure that California does its part as part of a national effort of
solidarity ”
MISSISSAUGA, Ontario (AP) — The continued threat of
an explosion of deadly chlorine gas meant about 223.000
people who fled their homes here will have to stay away at
least one more day. police said Monday, while firefighters
controlled a fire in the Sunday wreckage of a chemical-loaded
tram.
Authorities also warned the 25.000 residents of adjacent
Streetsville to be ready to leave their homes if the winds
continued to blow northward toward them from the wreckage
Ontario Attorney General Roy McMurtry said Monday
after touring the site that the 220.000 evacuees from Missis
sauga and 3.000 from Oakville to the southwest will have to
spend at least another night away from home
NEW YORK (AP) — While many Americans walled In gas
Anas last June, production of oil from domestic wells was off
significantly, new government figures show
Oil industry officials attribute much of the drop to
problems with the Alaskan pipeline, but they are unable to
explain the decline elsewhere
Some industry officials said Monday that the drop in
production — the second large one in a few months — seemed
unusual at a time when the industry was faced with shortages
of petroleum products
“There shouldn't be that much of a fluctuation," said
Melvin Mesnard. statistics director for the Independent
Petroleum Association of America, a group of oil producers
not affiliated with major oil companies "I wish I had an
explanation for it. but I don't ”
WASHINGTON (AP) — Women are significantly narrow
ing the enrollment gap with men at the nation's colleges,
according to a new Census Bureau report
The study, released Monday, reports that in 1970 men
attending college outnumbered women by 1 4 million, but by
1978 that lead had shrunk to an estimated 410,000
Two-year colleges have been a significant factor in this
increase, the report said, with many people choosing to
attend these schools on a part-time basis
"Apparently, the growth of enrollment in two-year col
leges, especially among older female students, is a result of
their locations, scheduling, and orientation of courses toward
the students who had other full-time or part-time respon
sibilities such as a job or family." the bureau reported
The bureau said between 1970 and 1978 the number of
women enrolled in these schools full time grew 48 percent
and female part-time students increased 144 percent.
States before Carter’s announ
cement
The dramatic moves came as
conflicting signals emerged in
Tehran about whether progress
*os being made in negotiations
tor the release of a reported 98
hostages held by students at the
US Embassy in the Iranian
capital
A three-man Palestinian
negotiating team gave up its
efforts and left Tehran, the
Palestine Liberation Organiza
tion said But Abolhassan Bani
Sadr, Khomeini's foreign affairs
chief, announced that Iran's
Revolutionary Council would
discuss a proposal concerning
the American Embassy'
Radio Tehran did not de
scribe the proposal, saying it
would be divulged once the
council approves it
Bani-Sadr and other Iranian
leaders reaffirmed their
country's central demand —
that the United States hand over
the exiled Shah Mohammad
Reza Pahlavi to stand triai in
Iran for his life
Khomeini's regime had new
trouble on the home front The
Iranian news media reported
unemployed Iranians took over
two government ministries in
Tehran to demand jobs, and
Kurdish rebels attacked
Khomeini's revolutionary
guards in four towns in north
west Iran
‘ America does face a difficult
task and a test," Carter said as
he announced the oil cutoff in
his nationally broadcast sta
tement “Our response will
measure our character and our
courage I know that we Amer
icans will not fail."
It is vital to all the nations of
the world "that the lives of di
plomatic personnel and other
citizens abroad be protected
and that we refuse to permit the
use of terrorism and the seizure
and the holding of hostages to
impose political demands/'
Carter said
“No one should underes
timate the resolve of the Amer
ican government and the
American people in this mat
ter," Carter said
His decision apparently
oovers both oil bought directly
from Iran and refined products
bought from third countries If
so. it amounts to 700.000 bar
rels a day — 3 5 to 4 percent of
total U S. oil consumption.
