He was trapped more than two hours when the excavation he and other workmen were digging suddenly caved in. (AP) Price fixing probed WASHINGTON (AP) — Offi cials of the Gulf Oil Corp, and its Canadian-based subsidiaries actively participated in an in ternational cartel that sought to fix uranium prices and supplies, according to documents obtained by a House investiga tions unit. The documents show Gulf in volvement with the cartel dat ing back to 1972. They include minutes of cartel meetings around the world in which Gulf officials are listed as attending. And they reveal a barrage of internal memoranda between Gulf attorneys and officals in Canada and the United States discussing the cartel and legal and economic ramifications of Gulf’s participation. The papers, subpoenaed by the House Commerce Com mittee’s investigations subcom mittee, also document partici pation in the cartel by the gov ernment of Canada. They were made public by the panel today. Gulf Chairman Jerrold McAfee and other top present and former Gulf officials were to defend Gulf’s involvement in the cartel today as the investi gations subcommittee opens hearings on alleged uranium price-fixing. The officials were subpoe naed to appear. Gulf has acknowledged parti cipation in the cartel by its Ca nadian subsidiaries, but insists that it did nothing to violate U.S. antitrust laws and that it was forced into the arrangement by the Canadian government. But committee leaders say the documents, many of them confidential Gulf corporate communications, raise serious questions about Gulf’s con tention that its U.S. operations were not involved and that its Canadian uranium operations were unwilling participants. “It is abundantly clear that an international cartel rigged the price of uranium in the world market for at least three years,” said Rep. John Moss, D- Calif., subcommittee chairman. The documents were obtained by the subcommittee in the course of complex litigation in volving Gulf, Westinghouse and a number of foreign and U.S. uranium producers. Gulf has been accused by Westinghouse, a major manu facturer of equipment used in nuclear power generators, of having helped to mastermind a conspiracy that drove up the price of uranium in three years from $6 a pound in 1972 to nearly s4l a pound. Westinghouse sued Gulf and 28 other U.S. and foreign ura nium producers, claiming it was victimized by the operation of such a cartel and was unable to obtain the uranium it needed to supply its customers, com mercial atomic power plants. Some of those utilities sued Westinghouse when that firm failed to deliver promised amounts of uranium. The documents include min utes of business meetings of the cartel in Canada, France and I South Africa in 1972 at which I foreign uranium producers al ii legedly sought to set the world I price for uranium for freeworld T markets outside the United I States. 1975 Buick LeSabre Sdn.

Brezhnev, 70, the nation’s un disputed political boss, also continued as general secretary of the party. He is the first per son in Soviet history to hold the posts simultaneously although he served as president before he took over the top party job. Lenin, Stalin and Khruschev each was simultaneously party chief and premier. The shift had been expected since May 24, when the 74-year old Podgorny was removed from the Communist party’s ruling Politburo without ex planation.

The proposal was adopted unanimously. “I would like to assure you, my dear comrades, that I will give all my forces to the achievements of the people in the construction of commu nism,” Brezhnev said to enthu siastic applause. “I will do my best in order that our country and peace on the globe may be strengthened and peace and cooperation among peoples may develop,” he added.
