Already, the oil squeeze has caused the United States more damage than any blow since World War IL The shah more than any other single individual was responsible. Driven by his gi audiose dreams and schemes, the shah has issued royal decrees ordering his subjects to work harder and waste less. At the same time, he has boosted his defense spending to a record 8 billion annually. That's a tremendous 44 ' percent increase over last year.

Korean aggression, even "if this were way to have a short war and to prevent another Vietnam." Defense Secretary James Schlesinger's recent proposal that the U.S. resort to using nuclear weapons in South Korea if placed in a similar situation to that of Vietnam has lessened public support of the U.S. commitment to defend South Korea if invaded by North Korea. A 9 percent plurality now opposes sending American troops to South Korea if attacked. These latest results represent a bar. naround in public opinion from last May, ' when 7 perciont favored sending U.S. : troops to defend South Korea if attacked. The greatest opposition to the U.S. using nuclear strategy in Korea comes from the same groups who opposed the Vietnam war: - easterners and westerners, suburban residents, people wider 30, the college educated ' and independent voters. Apparently in response to Schlesinger's proposal, these same groups have most , shifted their opinion about the U.S. fulfilling its commitment to South Korea and are most responsible for the change national opinion since May from support to opposition of such a committment. The cross section was asked: "The U.S. has 36,000 troops and airmen in South Korea. If North Korea invaded South Korea, we have a firm commitment to defend South Korea with our own military forces. If South Korea were invaded by communist , North Korea, would you favor or oppose the : U.S. using troops, air power and naval power to defend South Korea?" - .....,,:,Tr,....l',,, ,...,:i.., ' , '''sfot.:::':::T , :,::':,:;,,:,:.,:i,,,,.:,.,::-- ;:: ': t,:,i,;4000),..o," , vé,:;:Z; ;:, :':,:' :::' :.... :: ::' ::,,o ,,,. ;,,,,,i,,,,,:::. 2'.:4..&:',::,,:,,!'',,::,,:-:'':-r--i,,- ':' ki .:,,.::::,Y N ': ::: ,, tr- f' t; t,..:.::. . ., .,. i t :7 ''',-"- '!''' :' :!;.,,.1 ;:V.::::::- ::. ,, :: ..,,,:: :::, '''.' :;.;',. 6.z::-:,- ::,!::;':.- ...,,......:,..... ..i,: ....:. r: 41 ::ii ' - :,:-..- ..z;::;,, ::::,,:::44:: I: '4'7 i''.- 1' t's:, .:.:::. 1 ' ::::. g :','4.;:?.,...;..,-:,,:,:.-- ' .; , .. .4.,,' " r.r..:,,,,....,''',4,..;1 ' :.4.,- f .;!..:,...;.: :, P '1. 4 ..,,,..,.,,,,,i ' '' s '' - :,' , 4 , . , , ,..,'....,...i '''' rI :,:.: ..,,,:: ' - - ' '. ,. , ,:At, a' ,i, 4 1. .. 4 ' ,:' k' - ,,,,,,,,t,,,..;,r , '..;, '' .

By a vote, the House rejected a proposal to allow price controls on domestic oil to phaseout by 1980 if Congress enacted a windfall profits tax to return to the government and the consumer most of the profits which oil companies made as a result of the higher prices. Opponents of the proposal argued that decontrol would allow the oil companies to overcharge consumers, that the price of oil was already sufficiently high to encourage its development and production, and that deconol would allow the price of domestic oil to rise to whatever price level the Arab countries set for their oil. 202-22- phase-ou- t: McKay, Hansen, Symms.
