Report on Alleged
OH Cartel To Be
Made Public Soon
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 HP)—Pres-
ident Truman, reversing his prev-
ents position, has agreed to publica-
tion of a secret report on an inter-
national cartel which allegedly con-
trols the western world's oil mar-
kets.
Chairman John J. Spark man an-
nounced Monday night that his Sen-
ate Small Business committee—
will make public the long-suppress-
ed report late this week.
The report, prepared by the Fed-
eral Trade Commission, deals with
J|he alleged attempt by seven Anier-
™can, British and Duthc compan-
ies to divide up world oil markets
outside the Iron Curtain, squeeze
out competitors, fix prices and con-
trol production.
Mr. Truman has been under
strong senatorial pressure to make
public the controversial report,
particularly from Sen. Thomas C.
Hennings Jr. (D-Mo.), who has
charged that the cartcl operates
bs an independent world govern-
ment. Sr.aiK.men, after lii* nom-
ination as Dcniou nt c vice presi-
dential candidate, also callcd for
its release on the ground:; that
most of its contents have been
made public since Hennings first
revealed its existence four months
ago.
Mr. Truman originally took the
position that its publication would
adversely affect national interests.
Some State Department and mili-
tary officials have been known to
fear its release would jeopardize
IJ. S. relations with Britain and
with thi' oil-rich Middle-East.
Plans Legal Action
Mr. Truman, however, offered
earlier to give' the report on a
confidential basis to congression-
al committees and to grand juries.
The Justice Department announced
in July that it would take anti-
trust action against the five Amer-
ican firms named in the report.
Sparkman said the "security as-
pect" of the report "has been
cleared Willi responsible agencies
ol the government."
"It is my opinion that its re-
lease at this time is not likely to
jeopardize our national security or
undermine the aims of our for-
eign policy," Sparkman said.

Nicky Hilton Jr.
Sees Sky Saucer
HOUSTON, Aug. 19 HPl—Conrad
i Nicky* Hilton Jr., an adopted
Texan, son of the hotel magnate
and former husband of screen
star Elizabi .il Taylor, has seen a
"flying saucer."
Hilton reported Monday he and
band leader Nat Brandwynne, now
playing an engagement at the
Shamrock Hotel, saw a big, ycllow-
white "ball of fire" soaring through
the skies near Houston municipal
airport Saturday morning.
Hilton and Brandwynne said they
were returning from Galveston
and had just turned off the Gulf
Freeway near the airport. They
estimated the time at about 2:13
a.m.
"I looked out the window and
there it was," said Hilton, "a yel-
low-white bail of light about the
size of a basketball.
"I a;,ked Nat, 'did you see that?'
But he couldn't see too well, so I
stopped the car and we got out."
The band leader said the strange,
flowing object seemed to hover
from side to side. And personally,
Brandwynne said, it gave him
"goose pimples."

Truman Will Take
Smaller Role In
Fall Campaigning
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 UPi
President Truman has abandon-
ed plans for a whistle-stop cam-
paign tour this fall, but will de-
liver a series of major speeches on
behalf of the Democratic ticket in
pivotal northern cities, it was dis-
closed Tuesday.
Authoritative Democratic sourc-
es said Mr. Truman "readily ac-
cepted" this restricted campaign
role, assigned to him by Gov. Ad-
lai E. Stevenson, the party's presi-
dential nominee, and other Demo-
cratic strategists who met in
Springfield, 111., last weekend.
The conferees decided that Stev-
Ne-
gro and union vote* with fin-
breathing speeches on these sub-
jects, without necessarily stirring
up as much protest among southern
Democrats as would ensue If Stev-
enson himself made such speech-
es.
Informants said budgetary prob-
lems, as well as strategic consider-
ations, dictated the decision to
limit Mr. Truman's campaign
enson's big Job is to make himself is that Mr. Truman can
better known to the American peo-'
pie, and that any cross-country
speaking tour by Mr. Truman
would detract from Stevenson's
own campaign.
Informants emphasized that
Stevenson and his advisers had no
desire to shunt Mr. Truman out of
the campaign entirely. On the con-
trary, they said, the presidential
role is regarded as the important
one of "trouble shooting" for the
Democrats in critical areas.
Mr. Truman's first campaign
speech will be delivered in Milwau-
kee on Labor Day. While no def-
inite schedule has been worked out
for his subsequent appearances, in-
formants mentioned New York,
Chicago and Detroit as likely spots
for Truman speeches.
He is expected to carry the hod

issues a civil rights and labor
