Fresh Dispute On Oil Imports
Washington June 10 testimony by Charles L Harding of Socony Vacuum Oil Company sparked a fresh dispute in a Senate hearing. Harding said the oil import program has become a scapegoat for coal and oil industry ills, while Senator Neely argued unemployment in West Virginia coal mines is heavily influenced by oil imports.
