Oil Import Restrictions
May Strangle Venezuela
CARACAS. Venezuela (AP)
The 602 million persons who live
in this richest land in South
America want it to slay that way.
Many of them say this depends
in part upon what happens in
Washington.
The nation's financial situation
is healthy, because o the golden
flow of hundreds of millions of
dollars In pioiits that come out of
American and British-Dutch de
velopment oi oilfields.
But Venezuela isn't making as
much money as it did a year ago.
Officials fear a continuation of
V. N. S. restrictions in imports ol
oil from this country will cause
slow economic strangulation.
This was one of the cardinal
causes assigned here for the mob
bing of Vice President and Mrs.
Nixon upini their arrival here
May 13.
Americans have invested over
three billion dollars in this land.
They feel oday that on the whole
they are liked and respected. But

Mayor George Christopher of
San Francisco, Knight's principal

nomination, actually moved from
his hometown to Los Angeles to
campaign during the closing
weeks. He has scheduled speeches

The Washington State traffic toll
was three seven under the fore

The traffic loll exceeded the Na

Another controversial issue in

121-day strike of 13,000 workers on

Hells Canyon
Bill Vetoed
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
House Interior Reclamation sub
committee voted down Monday a
controversial bill for federal con
struction of dams in Hells Canyon,
deepest river gorge on the conti
nent. Rep. Wayne Aspinall (D-Colo),
subcommittee chairman, said the
adoption of an unfavorable report
killed the Senate-passed measure.
A 15-13 vote apparently ended a
year long fight over whether the
federal government or the Idaho
Power Co. should build dams in
the Hells Canyon stretch of the
Snake River bordering Idaho and
Oregon.
The multi-million-d o 1 1 a r high
federal dam . would have flooded

was granted during a bitter con
troversy that was taken to the

The company has one dam
nearly built, another under con
struction.
