500 Million
Oil Price Suit

NEW YORK. July 10 (R-
A Federal Judge has ruled
against the Government in its
suit to get back $66 million in
alleged overcharges on oil pur-
chases from private companies.
The Governments suit
against two major oil companies
and four jointly owned sub
salaries was dismissed yester-
day by United States District
Judge Thomas F. Murphy.
Winners in the litigation were
the Standard Oil Co. of Cali
fornia; The Texas Co.; Bahrein
Petroleum Co. Ltd: California
Texas Oil Co. Ltd; Caltex
Oceanic Ltd, and Mideast
Crude Sales Co.
The Government contended
the companies overcharged the
$66 million for Middle East oil
purchased by the Government
under the foreign aid program
between September /, 1850 and
August 81. 1852.
The companies, the Govern
ment alleged, were selling oil in
the American market at that
time at prices far lower than
those charged the Government.
The money involved in the
suit was spent by the United
States Economic Cooperation
administration and its success
sor' the Mutual Security Agency.

ever. that Europe could become
vast proving ground for the
infant atomic power industry
The United States is not anxious
to expand its own atomic power
facilities quickly because it is
much more expensive than con-
ventional power in most parts
of the country.
Can the United States guaran-
tee Europe a steady supply OF
atomic fuel? Refinement of ura.
MUM is a costly process. The
United States has the only large
facilities in the world outside
the Soviet Union for making
enriched uranium. Europe prob

atomic fuel.
The "three wise men" hope
they can get enough answers
to these questions in their tour
of the United States so that
a definite schedule of production
targets and resource-allocationS
can be set up for Euratom.
They do not want to wait I'M
til Euratom is finally ratified by
the six parliaments before un-
dertaking surveys. They believe
the need so urgent that the pro-
gram should be ready to 90 as
soon as the last ratification
comes in. Later a bilateral
treaty between the United States
and Euratom may be sought. to
assure Europe of American sup
plies of nuclear fuel and other
