The Air Force said today the
first Boeing tanker will be de-

The jet service station is a
600-mile-an-hour plane. Great

the need for them to descend to

1 Sympathize With Italy
Acting Secretary of State Her.
bert Hoover. jr., was reported to
have expressed sympathetic con-
cern to Italian Ambassador
Manlio Brozio, who called at the
State Department yesterday to
talk over his country's oil
shortage.
/ Mr.. Hoover told the Italian
Ambassador that the United
States considered the problem
"one for Europe as a whole
rather than one to be solved on
an individual country basis" the
State Department later an
nounced.
He was reported to have sug-
gested that the l7-nation Or
ganization for European Eco
nomic Cooperation submit a
co-ordinated request for oil
supplies from the Western
Hemisphere.
! Envoy Concerned
The State Department state
ment on Mr.. Hoover's talk with
Ambassador Brosio follows:
"A State Department spokes-
man said that Ambassador
Brosio called on Acting Secre-
tary Hoover today to expires.
Italy's concern over It's prospec-
tive oil position and to inquire
about measures which might
correst it.
"The Acting Secretary said
the department was closely fol-
lowing the problem and that
United States companies indi.
vidually were doing their utmost
to arrange supplies alternative
to those now cut off.
HE considered the problem
one for Europe as a whole rather
than one to be solved on an in.
dividual country basis, a view
which he, Hoover. understood
was shared by members of the
/ Organization for European Eco.
nomic Cooperation who hac
agreed to handle the matter CO.
operatively.
/ "Mr. Hoover said that thu
United States was deeply inter.
ested in the o. E. E. C. assess.
ment Of the problem and woulC

Racial Bombino
Case Dismissed

( LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 81 up
Criminal Court Judge L. r
Curtis has dismissed all remain
ing indictments against Car
Braden and six others stemming
from the bombing of a Negro
electrical contractors home two
years ago.
The judges ruling was made
yesterday on a motion by Com
monwealth's Attorney A. Scott
Hamilton. who had prosecuted
Braden in connection with the
1854 explosion at the home OF
Andrew E. Wade ".
The bombing was termed part
of plot to arouse racial antag-
onisms in order to achieve the
political ends of communism.
I Mr.. Hamilton said he was ask
ing for dismissal of all indict-
ments because of a ruling earlier
in the day by Judge Curtis
which Mr.. Hamilton said would
prevent introduction of Commu-
mist theories as evidence oi
motive.
Communist Evidence Barred
The judge ruled that any evi.
dence Of alleged membership ir
the Communist Party, seditior
or related activities on the par
of Vernon Bown would be ex.
cluded if Bown came to trial
Bown was charged with causing
the explosion that wrecked Mr.
Wade's home.
Braden, a former Louisville
newspaperman, was convicted il
December. 1854, of advocatinl
sedition in connection with thu
blast. He was given a 15-yeal
prison term and fined $4,000.
However, his conviction wa!
reversed by the Court of Appeals
Kentucky's highest tribunal
after the United States Suprem,
Court ruled only the Fedora
Government could try person,
for sedition.
Other Defendants Listed
The ruling was in the Stew
Nelson case from Pennsylvania

may be called into session by
early next week.
The is major petroleum COM
panies and Government repre-
lsentatives comprising the CON-
mittee have not met for five
weeks, since the Suez canal was
blocked following the British
French military move into the
waterways north end. The Suez
blockage has caused a serious
shortage of oil in Western Eu-
rope which is expected to con-
ltinue at least two months, and
possibly six.
The United States, however,
decided to hold up activation OF
the committee until the United
Nations police force was firmly
established in the canal zone and
British-French contingentS were
withdrawn.
Withdrawals Expected
First UNEF units were re-
ported moving into Port Said
this morning and British French
Withdrawals are expected shortly
by American Government off,
cials.
AS Of today, however, no de-
Icision has yet been taken to call
the MEEC into session. It's
principal function will be CO.
ordination of tanker usage.
Gulf State oil production and
Caribbean output is estimated
to be capable of meeting Western
Europe'S emergency require
mentS. The principal bottleneck
is tankers. The normal number
is not sufficient because ships
now must take the longer route
.around the Cape of Good Hope
instead of the Suez in delivering
Mideast oil to Europe. Turn
around time also is longer.
Study Started Last Summer
The MEEC worked out elabo-
rate plans for co-ordinating the
use of tankers last summer when
1t was feared Egypt would block
the canal and thus cut of the
flow Of oil to Europe. Wher
British-French action closed the
canal, MEEC activities were
suspended.
The United States did moi
want to give Egypt or its Arah
allies the idea this country was
favoring Britain and France ir
the Middle East crisis. There
was also a fear that the Arabs
might take prompt help u
Britain and France as provoca.
ton for more serious sabotage o.
oil supplies than has already
] occurred.

HOLIDAY SITUATION-Here
is the Christmas and New Years
holiday situation as it stands
now for Federal employees.
The Civil Service Commits
sion has recommended to the
White House that Federal work.
ers be given a Saturday Through
Tuesday holiday over Christ
mas. The Christmas eve Mon
day would be a gift to the en-
ployes, and they would not have
to work on any succeeding Satur-
day to make it up. This four
day Christmas holiday week end
is certain to be approved by
President Eisenhower.
4 Regarding New Years, the csc
has recommended that wherever
possible. Federal agencies allow
employees a four-day Tuesday
Ithrough-Saturday holiday. How
ever. the csc proposed that the
Iemployes be required to work
one Saturday in January to
make up for the New Years eve
Monday.
This proposal has run into
some trouble. 1t is opposed by
the Post Office Department
which said it would have to
revise the working schedule OF
many thousands of workers II
they were given that Monday of
and required to work a Saturday
in January. Some agency officials
propose letting employees use
their annual leave over the New
Years holiday if they want to
get four consecutive days off.
The issue is expected to be
settled at a Cabinet meeting with
President Eisenhower on Novem-
Der 80.
