Lack of fuel in the United States may cause widespread
and growing unemployment and production losses, delegates
to the third Energy Resource Conference were told Wed-

nesday.

Danger of economic disruption has been thrust into the
headlines by the Mideast War with the declared intention of
Arab oil countries to cut back crude oil supplies, said William

A. Cox, economist,
Congress.

Joint Economic Committee, U.S.

He added the Arabs have done us an inadvertent favor if
they make the U.S. act now to conserve fuel and make plans

if a real shortage occurs.

“THE ONLY MEANS of expanding fuel supplies in the
immediate future is through imports. We are limited almost

exclusively to importing oil," Cox said.

The conference, held at the Student Center Wednesday and
today, stressed a good prospect of expanding domestic fuel in
the future, but at present the nation's fuel supply must come

from other countries.

The basic problem now, Cox said, is that domestic ex-
traction of oil and gas is now declining by two or three per
cent per year because of depletion of active wells. Major new
domestic supplies will either come from Alaska or the
Continental Shelf, and will require at least three to five

years.

WASHINGTON — Saying he was too
busy with the Middle East crisis to write a
speech, President Nixon canceled a
planned Wednesday night address to the
nation on the Watergate tapes con-
troversy. He promised, instead, a Thur-
sday night news conference.

One of the men in the middle of the tapes
controversy, Acting Atty. Gen. Robert H.
Bork, vowed Wednesday that he would
fight the White House in court if necessary
to obtain confidential records for the
Watergate grand jury and would resign if
he felt his hands were being tied by the
White House.

At the same time, the House proceeded
with an inquiry on impeachment of Nixon
and the Senate scheduled a hearing to
question the man whose ouster created the
impeachment furor.

DURING A 45-minute news conference,
Bork, the man who last Saturday fired the
special Watergate prosecutor, said Nixon
gave him instructions by letter and in a
personal conversation Saturday night.
Bork quoted Nixon as saying, “I un-
derstand that you are. devoted to the
principles of law and I want you to carry
out these prosecutions fully."

Bork said he does not feel he is bound by
Nixon's order to the former special
Watergate prosecutor to stop trying to
obtain White House tapes and records.

“I am ready to follow any procedure, by
agreement or otherwise, to get the
evidence..." he said. ”If we have to use
judicial processes—no procedure is ruled
out."

TIIE WHITE HOUSE announced
Nixon’s speech cancellation less than two
hours after the President returned here
from a night at the presidential retreat at
Camp David, Md. It was reported Nixon
had gone there to compose a speech
keynoted by a plea for national unity.

“I hope it is expeditious," Albert said of
the inquiry, “and lhope it lays this thing to
rest one way or another."

ALBERT NOTED the House Judiciary
Committee had been mandated to make
inquiries into impeachment resolutions or
bring impeachment charges against
Nixon. The committee's chairman, Rep.
Peter W. Rodino Jr., D-N.J., said it was
possible his panel would subpoena ad-
ministration records for use in its probe.

At the same time, the Senate Judiciary
Committee set a public hearing for next
Monday to question Cox about his ouster as
special Watergate prosecutor.

After a two-hour closed session, the
committee said it did not discuss calling
other witnesses, but chairman James 0.
Eastland, D-Miss., said he felt the panel
would also want to question Richardson
and Ruckelshaus who were forced from

office after refusing to carry out Nixon’s
order to fire Cox.

DL'RING THE closed committee
session, action was blocked on a resolution
by a group of Democratic liberals on the
panel. The resolution called on Nixon to
reinstate Cox temporarily until Congress
acts on legislation to provide by law an
independent Watergate prosecutor not
subject to presidential dismissal.

But Wednesday morning Deputy White
House Press Secretary Gerald L. Warren
said Nixon's time at Camp David had been
consumed completely by Middle East
developments and Nixon had thus opted
instead for the Thursday night broadcast
news conference scheduled for 9 p.m. EDT
in the East Room of the White House.

In addition to Watergate. .the news
conference would deal with the Middle
East war and other issues. a White House
spokesman said.

.\IE.\.\'\\'IIII.E. Speaker Carl Albert said
the preliminary House inquiry on im-
peachment of Nixon will proceed. Albert
said the inquiry was unaffected by
Nixon ‘s decision Tuesday to comply with a
court order to turn over nine White House
tape recordings. and assorted documents
which may yield evidence for a Watergate
grand jury
