LOS ANGELES, (JTA) — Standard Oil of California has ask ed its stockholders and employees to support “the aspirations of the Arab people" and “their efforts toward peace in the Middle East." Standard Oil Chairman Otto N Miller said in a special letter that the U S. should support the Arab position because Middle East oil reserves are vital to “the future welfare of the Western World." Miller's message, dated July 26, is being mailed to Standard's 40,000 employees and 262,000 stockholders. The Standard Oil letter marks bv David Horowitz UNITED NATIONS, (WUP) — The feverish attempts by the Arabs, the Soviets and their friends to push through a new anti-Israeli resolution that would have, in es sence, superceded the balanced resolution 242, was thwarted by U.S. Ambassador John Scali when at the closing meeting of the Security Council Thursday mor ning, July 26, he cast his second veto on the Middle East situation. Mr. Scali had tried desperately to have the eight-power draft modified by several amendments so that he would not have to cast the veto. But it was to no avail. The eight sponsors, headed by self- righteous India, refused to budge Thirteen members of the Council, including Britain, France and Australia, voted for the resolution. China, while present throughout the debate, did not participate in the vote. The resolution was not strong enough for Peking which is seeking to win over the Arab world from the Soviets. In explaining his veto, Mr. Scali told his colleagues in the Council that "the resolution was highly partisan and unbalanced. Its adop tion." he said in a meaningful tone, "could only have added another obstacle to getting serious negotiations started between the COPENHAGEN, (JTA) — The Norwegian Cabinet, meeting in special session in Oslo Aug. 3 the first time a major oil company has taken such a strong and public stand on the Arab side of the Mid dle East issue. Executives of the in ternational oil companies which have large petroleum reserves in Arab states traditionally have preferred to work behind the scenes in urging U.S. government support for the Arab governments. The letter suggested that all citizens urge the U.S. government to work for peace in the Middle East. The letter, which recommended that the U.S. “work more closely with the Arab parties. It would have contributed another impractical and cosmetic result invoking the unreal rather than the real world." The dynamic U.S. Ambassador went on to explain that “if this resolution had passed, it would have changed fundamentally, it would have overturned. Security Council resolution 242. It would, in other words, have undermined the one agreed basis on which a settlement in the Middle East could be constructed. That is why my Government felt compelled to veto the resolution." Coming to the heart of the issue before the Council, he spoke of his many attempts to have the one sided resolution amended. One of the amendments he had proposed to the Council members, he said, went “to the heart of the distortion which the resolution voted on would have perpetrated if it had been accepted." He then referred to operative paragraph 2 of the resolution which, he stated, "treats in isolation the Israeli presence in territories occupied in the 1967 conflict. It speaks of ‘The’ territories ignoring the significance — recognized when resolution 242 was passed — of the omission of this definite article —- the word 'the' from the text of the resolution Turn to Page 4 to examine the “Boushicki Af fair", decided against the expul sion of Israeli Embassy official governmnts to build up and enhance our relations with the Arab people," did not mention Israel by name.
