Most of them already. have en- tered unofficial denials. The invitation for formal , an- swers came from Sen. John Spark- man of Alabama, Democratic nom- inee for vice president, in his role as chairman of the Senate Small Business Committee. It resulted from release of edited portions of a critical and contro- versial report on an international oil cartel, kept secret for more than a year after its completion The report charged that the five American oil companies joined two huge foreign corporations in an centers and markets of the non- Communist world. President Truman, acting upon advise of top administration lead- ers, had withheld the 378 page re- Port from the public for more than @ year. It is generally supposed this was in an effort to let British oil in- terests and the Iranian government try to settle their long and con- tinuing dispute over the rich Ira- nian oil fields. Apparently material dealing with this phase was deleted from the edited and toned down before it was handed to news agencies over the weekend. Listed as principals in the global oil cartel are these American firms: Standard Oil of New Jersey, Standard Oil of California, the Tex- "a Socony-Vacuum, and Gulf The foreign corporations named | are Anglo-Iranian Oil Co., a Brit- ish —— and Royal Dutch Shell, ow: y British and.Dutch interesti.

HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON W— Russia and the Western Powers appeared as badly split as ever today on how to go about making a German peace treaty. A Russian note proposing a Big Four meeting on the problem’ by October seemed certain to be re- jected by the United States, Brit- ain and France because of the con- ditions which Russia specified. the Western Power ambassadors in Moscow Saturday, specified that the session should first discuss the peace treaty.and the formation of only after that should it take up a Western proposal for creation of a commission to investigate po- litical conditions throughout Ger- many prior to holding “free elec- tions.” Officials here. and Western dip- lomats in Moscow indicated that the Russian terms: are unaccept- able.

By WILLIAM C. BARNARD SEOUL, Korea #—U. S. Bomb- ers delivered a one-two blow at Communist supplies Sunday night. Flying through stormy weather they hit a 40-acre supply area in Northwest Korea and pounded be- hind-the-front storage depots. A rain storm swirling /over Ko- rea bogged down troops on the 155-mile ground front. Forty Chi- nese firing burp guns made a thrust at Bunker Hill on the west- ern front but a U. S. Eighth Army staff officer said the Chinese were beat back in a torrid 15-minute fight. There were only patrol clashes and light enemy probes elsewhere. Communist artillery fell off to 968 Sunday rounds compared with 4,111 rounds on Saturday. The Navy said its operations ‘vere curtailed by heavy weather but reported that carrier pilots strafed and bombed Red targets around Hungnam and Wonsan in Northeast Korea Saturday. The heavy cruiser Bremerton and de- stroyer Hollister fired on Commu- nist positions at the eastern end of the battle front and reported hitting five troop bunkers Satur- day. A dozen Japan-based superforts flew through moderate to intense flak in their first raid of the war on the 40-acre supply area at Anju, 100 miles north of the Red capital of Pyongyang. The Air Force said one Commu- nist night fighter was sighted but did not attack. churian border. It said one of three Red fighters that challenged the bombers was shot down. A single B-29 hit targets along the front. STRUNK LUMBER YARD ADVISES...

In last Sunday’s Key West Citi- zen edition, an article was pub lished concerning our beloved Ele- na Mesa (deceased) — M.G.B.H.S, — Which undoubtedly is the most base and infamous form of calum- ny ever conceived in respect to this sad case, and I have taken it upon myself to see that honor and decency, not only of our beloved deceased cousin but her living rel- atives, be respected. I steadfastly deny the accusa- sions made by one Raul Vazquez, which distracts obviously from the truth. In his statement Vasquez brazenly declares that our family received hush money to keep the | secret from leaking out, and that | upon stoppage of said payments, the matter was given wide publi- | city; this, unquestionably, is a base, malicious and malintentioned falsehood. I call upon the said Raul Vazquez to prove his statement, and the reasons for falsely calum- nying a poor but honest family. We heartfeltly ask that the name of the-unhappy victim and her family be left in peace; they were very nice and lovable, and very thoughtful towards all. Today there are only two children left of this family, and they are under my care. There are many families in Key West who very well remember that during the time that this sad event occurred, there came to the home of my cousin Florinda Medina some northern business men who offered her a good sum of money for her sister’s (Elena Mesa) body to be exhibited in museums up North. But my cousin declared that she would rather die in want, than to accept money and thus dese- crate, not only the body but the memory of her beloved sister. I have proof of what I have here declared, and I am sure that the said Raul Vazquez has no proofs of the calumny which he has $0 in- famously made public. In closing I hope my letter will not cause inconveniences to you nor the newspaper which you so ably represent.
