New CHA Chief John Mecone grled by Senate Com mee huge oil company holdings Bartlett asks pointed questions: MeCone cool under fire.
ev DREW PEARSON

Mrs. Smith has already asked that one" SaMonstall whispered fussily. ''She has already asked those questions"
 ARAMCO's Record
 But Bartlett considerably poured McCone another glass of water and went on with his questioning.
 Do you know he inquired soft ly, eff Standard Oil of California is a member of the Arabian -Ameri- can Oil Company?
 "Yes, it is." acknowledged the CHA nominee.
 And, of course, all of us have heard that this company, operating in the Middle East, has at various times intervened or participated or inter- fered in the operations of govern ments in those areas" observed Bartlett Would you have any comment to make upon that?"
 "In my trips to the Middle East" McCone replied cooly, T have ob- served that the Aramco people han died their relationship with the gov- ernments of Arabia and Bahrein island in a very satisfactory way, and so reported to me. I don't know of any interference"
 The senators, perhaps in deference to Russells scowls and Saltonstalls fidgeting, did not press McCone fur ther. But in the files of the Senate Investigating committee and the State Department is an amazing rec ord of oil-company intervention on ! the side of the Arab states. It in- cludes:
 1. An advance of $20O,0OO,0O0 in oil royalties to King Saud to finance the 1856 arms build-up against 1s- rael
 2. A Senate report that the $4,000,- GOO US. base in Saudi Arabia was built without congressional authori- zation in order to help out the Ara bian-American Oil Company in it's relations with King Saud.
 3. A Senate Investigating commit tee report that Aramco overcharged the US. Navy $67,O0O,0OO on wartime oil in order to help Saudi Arabia.
 This report, signed by the late Senator Brewster of Maine, states: "To induce the grant of aid to the Saudi Arabian government, the Ar abian-American Oil Company of- fered to sell to the United States at prices based on fuel oil at 40 cents a barrel.
 When the United States needed oil because of its war demands, not withstanding these prior proposals, the companies offered the Navy fu- el oil at $1.05 barrel on take-it- or-leave-it basis. The Navy was forced to buy the oil on these terms.
 The "oil companies" concludes the Senate report, exploited the government by axacting high prices, despite the assistance granted Saudi Arabia at the companies request to protect and preserve the companies concessions"
 These are official reports which show a long pattern of American Oil Company intervention in the Near East always on the side of the Arab states and sometimes at the expense of the United States. | ss>as NNspnRseGAAHAfP

Plant Destroyed
By Sunday Fire

The plant and offices of us.
Upholstering Co., Inc, 1922 Third
Av. S., was destroyed by flames
Sunday, May 20 in a fire which
almost completely demolished the
building in which the firm oper-

The upholstering firm was head
ed by Bill Breland, 1920 Elliot Av.
s., Minneapolis. 1t is the only Ne
gro owned concern of its kind in
this area.
Mr.. Breland estimated the firms
losses to be between $500 and
$4,000 Three of his machines were
saved All of the supplies were
destroyed.
Neighbors assisted firemen in
removing a large amount of furni-
ture which had been re-upholstered
by the firm, and which was await

Mr. Breland stated Tuesday his
firm is in the process of securing
a new location. He said he was

ture to the 1900 Hotel across the
street from the burning building.
