Aiken opposes Hickel over Maine trade zones plan
Senator George D. Aiken of Vermont vows to oppose Interior Secretary-designee Walter Hickel if he opposes Maine foreign trade zones in Portland and Machiasport. Aiken pushes for swift Commerce Department action on Maine’s application, says oil interests push to delay and stifle competition. Machiasport’s proposed Occidential Petroleum refinery cited as motive. Governor Hoff decries the stance as a victory for oil lobbies and a setback for New England, while The New York Times editorializes on Hickel’s conservation philosophy and potential industry impact.
