Senate Foreign Relations chair Tom Connally calls the proposal dangerous, warning it could affect American bases overseas. Russia backs the proposal, while the U S and Britain seek to postpone action, deeming the amendment vague and unacceptable.

Fuel Oil Shortage Not Expected Despite Coal Strike
Washington November 28 fuel oil supplies are adequate for home heating and industry despite the coal strike. Ralph K Davies acting director says production runs ahead of consumption and light fuel oils will be ample all winter. He notes potential transport issues and expects coal shortages to lift heavy fuel oil use by 1.5 to 3 million barrels monthly, offset by reduced ships bunkers. East of the Rockies stocks stand at 31 million barrels, 10 million above last year and 16 million above spring 1946 low, with Caribbean stocks at 2 million barrels above normal.
