WASHINGTON The story of
how th United State permitted
Britiih and French relation to de-
teriorate to the lowest point since
UN and tha part American Oil
com panic and certain State Da-
partment officials had to do with
it has never been told. Probably
the full story will not be told until
either a Senate committee sub-
poenas the documents or the State
Deportment itself issues a white
paper as is customary 10 years
later.
However from unimpeachable
sources here are some of the
highlights and details of this im-
portant and tragic chapter in our
history.
The man primarily in charge of
American policy at this time was
Herbert Hoover Jr. the charming
sometimes naive acting secretary
of state. He was assisted from
time to time fay John Poster
Dulles then recovering from a
cancer operation. Secretary Dulles
at all times concurred with Mr.
Hoover in his anti-British anti-
French policy and seemed to
share the anti-British attitude of
his father who was once excori-
ated by Justice Joyce of the Brit-
ish High Court of Justice for tak-
ing possession of the title deeds
to a Chinese mining property
by main force."
OIL DIPLOMAT
In any event Acting Secretary
of State Hoover did not abstain
from handling matters affecting
oil companies as is customary in
' order to avoid a conflict of in-
terest When Joseph P. Cotton was
undersecretary of state in toe
Hoover administration. Cotton dis-
qualified himself from handling
any problem affecting toe Dillon
' Head Investment firm financier
. of tha Arabia n-American Oil Com-
pany because Cotton had been the
attorney for Dillon Read.
When James Porrestal was seo-
' retary of defense he disqualified
himself from Middle East oil de-
cisions because he had been pres-
ident of Dillon Read.
Hoover has been an oil diplomat
. for .years. Ha was the oil com-
panies' ambassador to Venezuela
Chile Peru Brazil and more re-
cently Iran.
United Geophysical has been re-
tained at one time or other by
most of toe big bU comps nies. He
was also a director of Union Oil
of California which has arranged
a prospective marriage with Gulf
Oil. Ubian is selling (120000000 id
Its 25-year debentures to Gulf
which are to be converted into
. Union common stock thus giving
Gulf a ISA per cent interest in
Union. This would control.
An estimated 99 per cent of
Gulf a crude oil reserves are in
toe Middle East-22 billion bar-
rels. Only two-billion barrels of
Gulfs reserves are in toe Western
Hemisphere.
Gulf of course is controlled and
largely owned by toe Mellon fam-
ily whose founder Andrew Mel-
lon was secretary of the treasury
under Cooltdge and Hoover. The
Mellon and Hoover families have
been close.
How vitally Gulf Oil was affect-
ed by the Sues crisis is shown by
toe stock market. Its stock
dropped 10 points as a result of
investors' fears that its huge Ara-
bian reserves might be Jeopard-
ized. Vet Herbert Hoover Jr. with
both financial and family ties to
Gulf OH did not disqualify him-
self from State Department deci-
sions affecting oil On the con-
trary he made must of toe major
Middle East decisions after Dulles
became ill until gradually the
President alarmed at the drift
began to take a personal hand.
NO OIL FOR ALLIES
It was Hoover who primarily
laid down the policy that no oil
must be shipped to England and
Stance.
All during the Sues crisis State
Department associates say that
Hoover eras adamant in his de-
termination to appease the Arabs.
It was he who during the crucial
night conference at the White
House November I one day be-
fore election warned that Russia
planned war. Ha was so paMe-
stricken that toe entire multlMl-lion-dollar
on reserves of the Near
East would fell into Russian hands
that the Strategic Air Command
was alerted and all atomic ships

roney (D-Okta.) said today Demo-
crat need to act up a policy-
forming group "not dominated by
actional faitereata" to prepare
tor toe USB and 1960 elections.
Monroney defended tha plan of
National Chairman Paul M. Bub
ter to set up a policy advisory
committee for toe party.
"It probably would have been
better If tote matter had been ap-
proached differently with more
attention paid to tha prerogatives
of toe Senate and Home" Mco-
ronty said in an interview.
Need Cited
"But there certainly la a need
for an over-all committee repre-
senting an element! of tha party
and not dominated by sectional
interests if wa are going to win
toe elections in 195g and I960."
Butter has presifted despite re-
buffs from Democratic leaders in
Congress in efforts to set up a
10-member group authorized by
tha partys executive committee.
