DID KISSINGER DEEP-SIX- THE NEWS? 1
Twice during the past year, Henry Kissinger squelched ``
Pentagon plans to release information involving
American and Russian submarines for fear the stories
would damage . U.S.-Soviet relations, . according to
Defense Department sources. The Pentagon insists'
Kissinger blocked release of facts about the CIA effort
to raise the sunken Russian sub in the Pacific and news
about a 1974 collision between the U.S. submarine
James Madison and a Soviet sub in the North Sea.,
Defense officials were ready to take a bow for the
recovery of the Russian sub; most accidents at sea are
routinely made public.
ARAB TANKERS?
Washington is trying to
head off a new threat that
could make another oil
embargo even more pain-
ful than the last The CIA
has determined that oil-
producing countries are
now going all-out to buy
tankers idled by the
world's glut of oil. Fleet
owners, who in the U.S.
are hard-pressed even to
find berthing space for un-
used ships, are eager to
sell. To avoid the possibil-
ity of both oil and tankers
in hostile hands, the Ford Administration is consider-
ing new subsidies to the U.S. tanker industry to ensure
that vessels would be available in another embargo.
