Wheeler and Truman.
To Discuss Roosevelt
Papers on Arabian Oil.

Burton K. Wheeler, former Mon
tana Senator, will take up with
President Truman a Senate COM
mittee request for all papers in the
personal files of the late President
Roosevelt dealing with Arabian OIL
The assignment was announced
yesterday by Chairman Brewster of
the Senate's Special War Investi-
eating Committee. 1t has retained
Mr.. Wheeler as special counsel.
Already the Senate investigators
have heard testimony that the Navy
paid an excess of some $50, ,000, 600
for Arabian OIL" Senator Brewster
said. He added that If this is true
and the purchases continue, ''it
might mean three billions in ex-
cess" The Navy has denied its prices
are out of line.
No Reply Received.
Senator Brewster told reporters
that no reply has been received from
the White House to committee let
ter of April 2 asking for the Roose-
velt papers
| He added that George Meader,
regular. counsel for the investigating
committee, telephoned the White
House yesterday about the letter,
but there is some delay because OF
discussion between the White House
and executors of the (Roosevelt)
estate"
Mr.. Wheeler, who gained attention
years ago in the Tea Pot Dome oil
investigation, made his first report
behind closed doors to the Senate
committee yesterday.
Senator Wheeler will see Presi-
dent Truman on the whoae situa-
ton" Senator Brewster said after
wards.
Specific Papers" Requested.
He said two requestes were made
OF Mr.. Truman regarding the
Roosevelt papers. One for certain
specific papers" dealing with a
194l offer of Arabian oil and the
other for examination of all rel
evant papers" dealing with trans
actions.
James A. Moffett, an oil company
executive, touched of the present
inquiry with testimony recently
that the Navy had paid an estimated
$33,000,000 too much for oil from
the Persian Gulf area.
Mr.. Moffett based this on a 1941
DrODOSal which he SajI he fooL n
President Roosevelt offering the
Arabian Oil at a certain price if
the United States advanced $6,O00,-
600 a year for five years to king
Ihn Saud of Arabia. The offer was
not accepted.
Higher Price Paid.
In 1914, Mr.. Moffett testified.
Arabian oil was purchased by the
Navy at much higher price from
the American-Arabian Oil Co.
Senator Brewster said this company
was owned jointly by the Texas Oil
Co. and Standard Oil Co. of Calf
ornia but that 40 per cent OF the
stock had been acquired in March of
this year by Standard Oil of New
Jersey and Standard Oil of New
York.
IF the Navy has been paying
$30,000,000 more than Mr.. Moffett's
offer then this committee wants an
explanation, Senator Brewster said.
People don't just pay 80 million
extra without some reason"
