Red Koreans May Have Used U S Oil Shipped To China
Senator O Conor says information in hand on shipments of strategic materials to Communist China may reveal a sensational story. He cites about half a million gallons of oil hauled to Red China from U S occupied Japan after the Korean war began. Oil moved in drums from the United States to Japan between March and April without export licenses. A March ban on shipments to Red China followed by voluntary suspensions after the Korean war began is noted, with questions remaining on ownership and transport.
