The buying public has recently shifted away from small cars and back toward large ones, and administration officials believe there must be a strong new incentive to make cars more attractive. But, because of the possible effect on the auto industry and employment, congressional sources say President Carter could face stiff opposition on Capitol Hill if he takes that approach. Carter energy planners also are considering a tax to make natural gas cost as much as oil when gas is used as boiler fuel by industries and electric utilities, informed sources said. A third tax idea is to help homeowners cut fuel bills with insulation. Sources also said the energy policy President Carter will outline April 20 is likely to place relatively high reliance on nuclear power to fill demand, although Carter gives conservation and use of domestic resources top ranking in his plan.

Natural Resource Protection Pledged - WASHINGTON (UPI) President Carter has "cancelled the blank check" of the special interests that would hurt the environment in the name of progress, Interior Secretary Cecil Andrus said Saturday. Andrus got a standing ovation from the National Wildlife Federation for his speech, in which he also promised that a "rape, ruin and run" public lands managment policy is "a thing of the past." In the Interior Department, Andrus told the conservationists, he intends to "end what I see as the domination of the department by mining, oil and other special interests. "Our president has a deep personal commitment to end the waste and misuse of America's natural resources," he said. "He has cancelled the blank check which once went to those who would exploit resources and pollute the environment in the name of progress. Business as usual has been put out of business." For example, Andrus said, much of federal land management has been "primarily for livestock often to the detriment of wildlife." He added: "We intend to exercise our stewardship of public lands and natural according to the Osmonds, with many of them hired locally.

Last month the department predicted retail food prices would rise 3 to 5 per cent. In a new report, however, officials said even if farmers get "relatively favorable" weather for the rest of the year, food prices probably will average 4 to 5 per cent above 1976. The revised forecast to 10 per cent followed a sharper than expected winter price increase caused by cold weather.

In a Saturday interview with The Daily Herald, the Osmonds said they expect to break ground on their site sometime next week, perhaps April 4, for their "Osmond Studios." Alan Osmond said the singing family considers the 77,500 square-foo- t production complex to be comparable to any facility on the West Coast. Taping of the "Donny and Marie Show," rated number two in the area, will begin in late September upon completion of the studio, he said. The studio complex will be built on the Cascade Driving Range, 800 N, 1400 E. Orem City owns the land but has leased it to Frank, Vern and Herb Stratton. Last week the city bought the lease from the Strattons for $137,000 and will now lease the land to the r Osmonds for that price over a Brezhnev.

Officials said most of the impact of a poor 1977 crop would be delayed at the consumer level until late in the year and in 1978 because cattlemen, faced with drought and rising feed costs, would step up liquidation of their herds. |
