Letter on Standard Oil sale sparks Jewish community protests
The Miller letter proposing a peace settlement tied to selling Standard Oil of California to an oil firm drew swift backlash from Jewish leaders and California politicians. Edward Sanders of the Jewish Federation Council called the implications shocking, while Sen. Tunney and Cranston urged protest, accusing the letter of pressuring U S policy toward Israel. Activists urged stockholders to boycott, and vandals targeted company offices with red paint as the controversy intensified.
