Constitution- tribune CHILLICOTHE, MO. VOL. LXV MONDAY, MARCH 18,1974 TWELVE PAGES NO. 65 Oil Embargo Is Lifted VIENNA, Austria (AP) The Arabs lifted the oil embargo against the United States Monday, but said their oil ministers would meet in Cairo on June 1 to review the decision, a spokesman announced. He said Italy and West Germany henceforth would be considered "friendly nations" and would receive the petroleum they need.

The case of the Netherlands, subjected to a total boycott since October, was not mentioned in the communique issued by the ministers of nine Arab oil producing countries after a 90-minute meeting here. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait the two biggest Arab oil producers endorsed the decision as well as smaller oil nations in the Persian Gulf. But the communique said Libya did not and also opposed increasing oil supplies to Italy and Germany. Algeria stressed its moderate position by pointing out in the communique that lifting the embargo against the United States was a temporary measure effective until June 1. Syria, which produces oil but has never sold any to the United States also opposed the decision to lift the embargo.

The other Arab countries stressed their support for Syria in its conflict with Tsrapl Saudi Oil Minister Ahmed Zaki Yamani said before the meeting that the embargo, imposed five months ago because of American suport of Israel in the October Middle East war, would be lifted, and so did Algeria's official newspaper El Moudjahid. But Egypt's semiofficial newspaper Al Ahram forecast the decision to lift the embargo could be delayed for a week to refer it to an Arab foreign ministers meeting on March 25. The ministers from nine Arab countries met for three and a half hours Sunday but failed to agree. Syria and Libya were reported blocking a unanimous decision to lift the blockade. However, one unconfirmed report said Syria's objections had been ironed out, and Libya would abstain from the decision by the rest.

Several of the ministers met until late Sunday night in an attempt to draft a consensus document. Others contacted their governments for further instructions, sources said. Earlier Sunday, 13 of the world's major oil-producing nations, including seven of the Arab states, concluded a weekend meeting here with the announcement they would maintain their posted prices on crude oil until July 1.

Only Minor Problems On First Day of 1-Ways For the most part, traffic was moving smoothly on the newly imposed 1-way streets of Polk and Calhoun. There were a few problems this morning on the two streets, according to police and city officials, but most were minor. Police noted only a few cars parked either the wrong way or on the wrong side of the street on Polk and Calhoun and there were only a few motorists traveling the wrong direction or making a turn against the flow of traffic.

As before when 1-way traffic was imposed for a trial period on Polk and Calhoun, city officials said they expected that it would take a couple of days for all motorists to become acquainted with the 1-way streets. Polk carries eastbound traffic and Calhoun westbound traffic from Broadway to Grandview. Parking will be permitted with the flow of traffic on the north wide of Calhoun and the south side of Polk. All vehicles are to be parked with the flow of traffic on the two 1-way streets, including motorists using parking meter stalls on Calhoun street. The 1-way traffic on Polk and Calhoun will be in effect through May 28, on a trial basis.

Following the trial period the city council will make its final decision.
