Harriman Proposes Two Plans To End Oil Crisis
W Averell Harriman, Truman’s envoy, brings two plans on the Anglo Iranian oil dispute. One seeks Iran’s reconsideration of the June 19 offer by Anglo Iranian Oil Co to transfer assets and run the industry via a British Iranian board. Iran rejected it quickly, possibly due to legal wording. A second plan aims to revisit Iran’s receipts demand before oil can leave Abadan. British officials caution Mossadegh’s firm stance may require British concessions for a solution. Oil output from Iran likely to fall even if Harriman succeeds, as British staff exit and Iran’s disruption worsens refinery operations.
