Oil Shortage Threatens NATO Defense

In Paris Leon Dennen reports Gen Dwight D Eisenhowers NATO defense could be jeopardized by a drastic Western European fuel oil shortage. F P Hellin, former adviser to the Soviet Oil Trust, warns that turmoil in Middle East oil regions could deprive NATO countries of up to 90 percent of their oil. He predicts pro Soviet violence in Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Kuwait and notes ICFTU reports of increased tominform activity in Middle East oil centers. The piece links Arab nationalism, Iran oil nationalization, Mossadegh, and Western frustration as Iran’s output falls from Abadan refining capacity.
