Oil Strike Deepens Airline Fuel Cutback Across Nation
Denver reports a sweeping oil workers strike disrupts aviation fuel supply and halts refinery output. Interior Secretary Chapman orders a 30 percent cut for airlines, bans private fliers from fuel use, and restricts delivering more than 65 percent of March usage for 28 days, with export bans pending PAD approval. Airlines adjust schedules. Air Force trims training flights. Chicago plans to retire 300 gasoline buses. The strike hits about a third of refineries nationwide, with 90,000 unionists seeking wage hikes. California refining units largely exempt, while a California union pact offers a possible settlement pattern.

Nunan Refuses Data From Probers On Income
Former Internal Revenue Commissioner Joseph D. Nunan declined to answer questions about his personal finances before a House tax committee. He cited constitutional grounds and invoked the fifth and sixth amendments to resist disclosures of unexplained income totaling about 161,609 dollars traced to his accounts from 1945 to 1950. He acknowledged possible crimes could exist but urged the scope limited, while committee members pressed for specifics on a 1945 cash deposit of 10,650 dollars and other cash transactions totaling 24,000 dollars that year. He stated no other remuneration beyond his government salary.
