In this connection, the topic
that arouses the most speculation
is the part the Soviet Embassy Is
playing. 1t Is no secret that the
Communists here are amply sup

Soviet Envoy Is Geologist.
To American observers, 1t Is
more than sheer coincidence that
both the Soviet Ambassador and
flis wife are trained geologists.
Likewise, 1t seems strange that ut

staff are either geologists or oil
experts.
However. the Venezuelan gov
ernment Is making no open
charges. The Communists are per-
mitted to operate as freely as they
did before the military coup upset
the previous government without
noticeable hindrance from the
junta.
President Chalbaud declares
there has been some pressure on
the government to drive the Com
munists underground where they
might carry on subversiye activi-
ties against the present govern
ment.
We don't want that to hap

Venezuela AIertsArmy
For Possible Sabotage
OF Oil Fields by Reds
By Stefan Andrews

CARACAS, Venezuela. May 26
Venezuela, the worlds No. !
petroleum exporting country. has
dispersed its army In a far-reach-
ing move to thwart possible Com
munist sabotage of strategic oil
fields.
This action was disclosed re-
Gently by members Of the three
man military junta now in con-
troll Of the government. VINO de-
clared it was step to insure the
flow Of vital oil output to the
United States.
1T is in our interest to keep our
nation free from sabotage" says
President Carlos Delgado sChal-
baud. II can assure the United
States that we are now doing
that"
Specifically, he says that armed
troops have been dispatched to
key spots in the country and 9TH
er units have been stationed per-
manently at specific oil camps to
provide tight security for all oil
fields.
On Alert, But Not Alarmed.
Defense Minister Luis Perez
Jimenez, No. 2 man of the junta,
adds that this strategic dispersal
has been tested twice in the past
year-during the general strike
about 10 months ago and again
during the wildcat strikes of last
January and February.
I'VE are on the alert" he says,
"but not in a state of alarm. The
army must face the situation with
calmness even though there may
be some grounds for alarm"
Both officials underscore the
determination of the present gov
ernment to respect the country's
international contracts and to
keep oil production flowing in the
event Of an emergency.
Chiefly responsible for these
avowals are recent reports that
Russian-trained Communist lead
ers were up to something big"
in Latin America and probably
would pick Venezuela. with its
strategic store Of oil, to pop their
plot. "a.
Heavy Red Infiltration Reported.
American officials report heavy
inflltration of Communists
throughout the Venezuelan oil
fields. Presumably Communists
already have taken over control
of the labor union at La Cruz,
major outlet for four oil COM
panies and the loading point for
oil from the interior.
1t is the firm belief Of one top
flight American official that the
Reds could and would sabotage
the oil fields in an emergency. He
says the Communists are carefully
lying low now, but that they
probably are playing q waiting
game"
What the Reds apparently
want to avoid is a government
breakdown. Since the junta
took over, there has been less ac-
tivity by Red labor agitators but

DisqraeefuI Performance

EARLY THIS year Congress clipped the
~ wings of the House Rules Committee
by preventing it from permanently bottl-
ing up legislative measures.
The wisdom of this move was exempli-
fled when the Committee holding hear
ings on the Thomas-Lesinski Bill to repeal
the Taft-Hartley Act The hearings were
a disgraceful exhibition of demagoguery.
The Rules Committee was set up origi-
nally to serve as a clearing house
group which would determine when and
how bill would reach the floor after it
had been approved by the appropriate
committee.
In other words, the Committee was
supposed to serve as a traffic cop.
But the present Committee got the
idea that it should hold hearings all over
again on bill which was properly clear
ed by the House Labor Committee
A Dixiegop coalition took control of
the committee away from its chairman,
venerable Rep Adolph Sabbath d., Ill),
insulted him, the witnesses and the nation.
Washington newsmen, who have learn
ed to veiw governmental monkeyshines
with unruffled calm declared the hear
ings were among the noisiest, crudest they
had ever witnessed.
And the Committee made it clear it
had no intention of speeding up action
on TIL, on which speedy action is needed.
