REPRESENTATIVE ROB-
ERT M. MICHEL (Dl.r...It
would seem that the Govern-
ments of the Persian Gulf
region are taking lightly the
threat of a Soviet invasion...At
this point I insert in the
Record. “Persian Gulf Nations
Call Soviet Threat a Joke”, an
article from the Chicago Tri-

cle):
Al-Ahmadi, Kuwait.-The
threat of a Soviet invasion of
gulf oil fields may seem real to
American military strategists,
but to oil men in the region, it is
a joke.
“No way,” said Sulaiman
Mutawa, a director of tho
Kuwait Oil Co., (LOC), “It
simply can't be done. I don't
know who dreams up such
problems.”
An American oil executive
said, “The second you try to
grab them, they will be des-
troyed. All you will be left with
is blowing aand. “Nothing could
be more vulnerable to sabotage
than the fragile, widely spread

Stnkss An Today For

Funeral services for William
B. Brown, 68, Lumberton, will
,be held today (Thursday) at 4
p.m. in Farmer Funeral Chapel
with burial in Reethaven Ceme-
tery. Rev. R. E. Barclay will
officiate.
He died in his home Wednes-
day at 5:80 a.m. after a lengthy
illness.
A native of Lake Charles, La.
he had lived in Lumberton for
the past 85 years. He was a
retired Kurth Dishman Com-
pany employee.
Survivors include his wife,
Mrs. Lenars Mildred Brown,

CARD OFTHANK8
The family of Bob Gore
wishes to express their sincere
gratitude for the many prayers,
flowers, food, and donations
during the loos of our loved one.
A special thanks to Bro. D. A.

will always be remembered.

unlit region.
All new equipment-pumps,
turbines, eeparators-would
have to be produced and flown
from the Soviet Union, which
cannot satisfy its own ofl
industry needs.
Even if the Soviets could
make the field* operational
again, how could they be kept
in operation? “There are miles
and miles of pipeline running
across the open Apert,” said
the American oilman. “It is the
easiest thing in the world to rip
a hole through some pipe with
an explosive charge,” Saudi
Arabia alone has more than
8,000 miles of pipe connecting
its wells, its principle field*
would enclose 10,000 square
miles-twice the sise of Connec-
ticut.
They would have to ship the
oil In tankers. Not only is the
Soviet tanker fleet wholly
inadequate for such a task, it
would be exposed to all manner
of harraaamenta blockades, and
mining operations.
Oil industry experts from
Kuwait to Abu Dhabi an
convinced the idea of a Soviet
blitzkrieg to seize, pump, and
use the crude oil of the gulf
producer is straight out of
James Bond spy novels.
CRUMP'S GRASS
ROOTS COMMENT
On any alow News day the
television networks will show a
picture of one of our aircraft
carriers steaming in the Indian
Ocean. Supposedly, to protect
our interest in the Persiim Gulf
oil fields. Pure imagination, but
it sells Tooth Paste.
The real threat to America is
the greediness of foreign oil
producers, not t Soviet take-
over of Persian Gulf oQ fields.
