...knows what the long-range effects on marine life may be as a result of the continuing oil seepage. In any case, it appears that the offensive derricks will be around for decades to come. Last week a presidential panel recommended that drilling on the Union lease site, which has been halted for four months, be resumed. The panel contended that the best way to stop the leak is to exhaust the oil reservoir un der Union's platform A - an undertaking that could last 20 years or more...
...Russians still spend billions of dollars annually in furthering the Communist cause abroad. The bulk of the money goes for arms for North Viet Nam and oil for Cuba, which are items that advance Soviet diplomatic aims. The U.S.S.R. until recently supplied one-fifth of the Italian party's $10 million budget, helps the Indians financially, subsidizes the illegal party of West Germany and supports the Latin American parties.

...voice of General Odumegwu Ojukwu, carried by Radio Biafra, vibrated between impassioned outrage and constrained eloquence. The 18 men that Biafra's boss referred to-14 Italians, three West Germans and a Lebanese -were employees of the Italian government's oil combine, ENI. They were captured last month by Biafran troops in the Okpai oilfields near Port Harcourt in an encounter in which eleven other oil workers (ten Italians and a Jordanian) were killed. Later a five-man Biafran tribunal that sits for security cases condemned the 18 prisoners to death by firing squad for helping Nigeria wage...
