"The Colonial Office Is not di-

man declared, adding:
"The colonial secretary makes
a practice of sending kilograms

These are not directives or
declarations of policy, but in
formative messages to help colo

On Oil Embargo With Who Subdued Indians
British, Acheson Says Over Peace Pipe, Dies

Secretary of State Acheson said
today that the United States will
press forward" in discussions
with the British for measures to
protect the interests of American
oil companies facing British en-
barge on imports of oil for which
dollars must be paid.
Britain announced the embargo
last month to pe effective Jan
uary l, but has extended the
effective date to February IS.
1T Is our view," Mr.. Acheson
said, that measures can be
adopted which will meet the neces-
sity of the United Kingdom and
sterling area to save dollars on oil
account and at the same time pro-
tect the legitimate interests Of the
countries and companies con-
cerned."
Mr.. Acheson told a news con-
ference that a letter written by
the British colonial secretary to
the East African Government,
saying that the United States had
not gone beyond expressing regret
at the British move, "does not &C
curately reflect the serious con-
Germ" with which this Government
views the British action.
He said the British action was
taken without adequate consulta-
ton with American companies to
determine whether adjustments
in their operations could effect
equivalent dollar savings. He said
the British also were told that if
the embargo was found necessary
it should be imposed only grad
ually and in a manner that would
enable the American companies
to adjust to the new situation
with minimum hardship"
Meanwhile Chairman Connally
of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee termed the matter a
British "act of hostility" He
said it may be a subject for study
by his committee.

cation of the financial coup, he

Returned to U. S. With 81.
He told friends he won more
than $1,00O,000 at cards there
only to lose his fortune to a gam
bling syndicate in Greece. Re-
turning aboard a freighter, he
landed In Florida with a reported
wealth of 81. He engaged in
Florida real estate deals that
netted him more money, but that
too, dwindled to pennies.
1t was then, in 1926, that he
began laboring in New Mexico
mines. AS adjutant general OF
the National Guard of New Mex
leo he was sent here in 1881 as
the personal representative OF
New Mexico's Governor, Arthur
Seligman, at the American Legion
unemployment conference. Mr.
Wood was here again in 1882
when he took a course in military
tactics at the War College.

 Judge Anthony Dimond in augurated the topic by a few remarks in which he des- cribed the LIN as "one of the most important contributions to peace" and possibly "the only solution to the problem's of the world today"
 Donald presented a history of UNs beginnings and in- troduced Martha Olsen, wfo described the workings of the general assembly, Sally Crooks, who outlined the functions of the security council, and Sandra Perkins, who treated the economic and social council.
 The presentation, which in- cluded a complete outline of LIN aims and functions, was brought to a close by Rotarian William Stone, who told of a visit to LIN.
 He said he carried away two impressions. One was of a performance put on by Rus sia's Vishinsky, the other the realization that a large group of sincere people were earnest ly devoting their lives in a sincere effort for peace.
