V "WASHINGTON (AP) In a major response to the continuing energy crisis, the Senate Commerce Committee on Thursday a bill requiring a 100 per cent improvement in auto fuel efficiency by 1985.' The bill, which the auto industry maintains is unneeded, sets standards requiring a 50 per cent improvement in gas mileage by 1980. The standards would require the nation's automakers to produce 1980 model cars capable of achieving 21 miles per gallon and 1985 model cars capable' of 28 miles per gallon. 

          The bill covers the 1971 through 1985 model years and is based on improvements over the gas mileage achieved by 1974 model year passenger automobiles. The 11.5 Commerce Committee vote came as President Leonard Woodcock of the United Auto Workers Union told (he Senate Public Works Committee it will be disastrous if Congress insists on requiring improved fuel efficiency and stricter auto emission standards at the same time. The presidents of the four large American car makers later pleaded their case for a five-year moratorium on clean air standards.

         A military spokesman said the interpreter, a Vietnamese army captain, was promising refugees somewhat 'faster immigration processing for a small payment and front-of-the-line treatment for larger payoffs. The interpreter was fired and warned that he would move to the end of the immigration line if he got into any more trouble, said Capt. Teddy Hammond of Buena Park, Calif., who commands ah infantry rifle company which has taken over camp police duty. "We tell these people, 'If you get on our blotter, this has to be reported to the Immigration and Naturalization Service arid would affect your credibility .as a said Rear Adm. G. Steve Morrison, director of refugee operations here. Beyond the threat of moving to the rear of the immigration line, the unarmed, white-helmeted security patrols have little clout.
