Ike Gives Oil Aid to Western Europe Officials Outline Plans
The administration rejected general oil rationing in the United States while boosting deliveries to Western Europe. About 450000 barrels of extra oil will come from Venezuela, with shipments expected to fall 20 to 25 percent short of Europe’s needs unless tanker capacity improves.
