Instead, Aleman wants a loan from the United States so his country can expand its oil production un- der Mexican management. CHRISTMAS JUNKET All this explains why President Aleman has sent his own private airplane to Washington to carry .back Rep. Bob Crosser of Ohio, Cresser’s daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren on a Christmas vacation junket to Mexico—all at Aleman’s expense. What the President of Mexico knows is that Congressman Cross- er will be the new chairman of the House In ate and Foreign Ccmmerce Committee, which has a lot to do with foreign purchases of oil and other imports. His ideas on Mexican oil may be important. Besides Cresser and his relatives, cthers included in the vacation flight to Mexico were Elton J. Layton, clerk of the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, his wife, and Lieut. Col. and Mrs. John Meyer. Colonel Meyer is an Air Force ison oificer on Capitol Compromise on Mexican ay be a loan to Mexico for the construction of non-speculative g eries and pipelines, with the understanding that American com- panies will be permitted to drill in Mexico cn a limited scale and with full legal protection against confiscation Also, Mexican oll exports to the United States would be sold through “Premex,” the Mex. government monopoly.
