BURNS is looking to the Railroad Commission to protect buyers and consumers of petroleum products, though a spokesman for the association said recently that I here is no precedence on dealer protection.

"Customers seem to think that dealers here in the county are just raising the price," he said with concern. Lowry Carpenter, executive vice-president of the Texas LP-Gas Dealers Association in Austin said, "We are facing a situation of extreme shortage of LP gas within 30 to 60 days. "I have a pretty good idea it's more widespread than we now think," Carpenter said. "We have between 40 and 80 dealers today who will be out of business soon, who will not have a contract to serve tens of thousands of customers." The shortage has come about suddenly, he said, "because this is contract time when dealers are getting their supply set up for next year." Williams, who deals mainly with Enterprise Products in Houston, said that his contract has been renewed.

The Post said that although ihe half-page ad appeared to have been prepared and purchased by a nonpolitical citizens' group, it actually was paid for with Nixon campaign funds. Stating the expenditures never were reported to the General Accounting Office as required by law, the Post said the campaign also included writing and paying for telegrams of support sent to Nixon as well as for rallies and an organized telephone campaign supporting the decision to mine North Vietnamese harbors. The Post said the expenses were authorized by Nixon's deputy campaign manager, Jeb Stuart Magruder. It quoted an unnamed former Nixon campaign official as saying the Committee for the Re-election of the President was "totally mobilized for the biggest piece of deception we never do anything honestly." "Imagine the President sending himself telegrams, patting himself on the back," the Post quoted the official as saying. photo by frank mc connell To Return foreign affairs, Nguyen Co Thach.

Just Tuesday the United States, in a formal note, accused North Vietnam of direct and inexcusable violations of the January Paris agreements on ending the war in Vietnam.

Welch said that when major oil companies were stuck under price freezes, smaller brokers could under bid them for contracts. "Gulf Oil Corp. lost eight refineries in the East Texas field," he said, explaining that the situation has upset the market. "The futures market is almost twice as high as in winter," he added. As for his own suppliers, Welch said that one has notified he will cancel his contract at the endof the year, another won't even answer the telephone and a Ihird has confirmed a contract, but will makesno commitment oh prices.

Nixon spokesmen deny reports that Secretary of Slate William P.

"The chief spokesman for the Nixon reelection drive, DeVan L.

Shumway, said he was not told the whole truth at the time he was issuing blanket denials of high-level knowledge of political-espionage plans. And Sen.
