Chinese Envoy Ousted MOSCOW -The Soviet Union announced Wednesday it has expelled a Chinese diplomat for attempting to obtain espionage information. The official news agency Thss added that an "emphatic protest" was made to the Chinese ambassador in Moscow. The brief dispatch was the first official word of the charges, although some details of the expulsion had been learned from Soviet sources. The charges were parallel to those lodged by the Chinese Foreign Ministry against five Soviets expelled by Peking on Saturday, an action that underscored "bad relations between the Communist giants. The Soviet Union had accused China on Monday of a "planned hostile act" in expelling the five Soviets.

Then it was learned that a Chinese diplomat was taken off the trans-Siberian express in the Siberian city of Irkutsk and expelled. Tass said Soviet security police arrested the Chinese diplomat "during an attempt to obtain espionage information of military nature from a Soviet woman. As has been ascertained, Kuang Heng-kuang engaged in espionage in the territory of the U.S.S.R. previously, too." The action apparently was a retaliation for the Chinese expulsion of the five Soviets. A spokesman for the Chinese Embassy here denied the allegations against Kuang and said the diplomat was on his way home after six years in Mos-.

Diplomatic sources in London said that the Soviet air attache there was recalled to Moscow after a bungled attempt to recruit an Egyptian official as a spy. The attache. Col. Ivan Shport, came home last month on leave. The Soviet Embassy in London later informed the British government that he would not return.

In a broadcast monitored Thursday in Tokyo, the official Chinese news agency Hsinhua said the returning Chinese diplomat was greeted "with warm welcome and kind regards" by government officials in Peking. Hsinhua said Kuang was "returning on instruction after completing his regular tour of duty at the Chinese Embassy in the Soviet Union when he was flagrantly kidnaped by Soviet revisionist special agents at Irkutsk railway station on Jan. 19 and was later taken to Moscow."

"We're not rabble-rousers, we're not demonstrators," said Brooks, "but we've been patient for one entire year with promises that have been made to us and we're not going to stand by and accept these promises any longer." Brooks, believes his son, Lt. Nicholas Brooks, was shot down but escaped capture in January 1970.

He will lead parents of missing men in a demonstration drive around the White House Saturday.

NEW YORK (AP) Exxon the nation's biggest oil company, estimated Wednesday that its profits rose by nearly 60 per cent in 1973. But the company's chairman denied that it had capitalized on the energy shortage to increase its earnings. Asked at a news conference how he felt about a proposed tax on windfall profits arising from the nation's energy problems, Chairman J.K. Jamieson said: "We have no windfall profits." Jamieson said the earnings increase came primarily from Exxon's foreign operations. And he said the additional money was needed to finance exploration and expansion programs to meet future energy needs.

He said the company planned to make capital expenditures of a record $6.1 billion this year, .73 per cent more than its 1973 total, and that those expenditures would total $16 billion over the next four years. The company said its earnings last year were $2.44 billion, compared with $1.53 billion in 1972. Profits in the final three months of 1973 also showed closed to a 60 per cent gain over the last quarter the vear before, Exxon said. Meanwhile. Union Oil of California, 12th biggest in the industry, announced that its preliminary earnings, were up almost 50 per cent from $121.9 million in 1972 to S180.2 million last year.

On Tuesday. Cities Service, the nation's 14th largest oil firm, reported a 37 per cent earnings increase for the year. Most of the other major oil firms were expected to announce similar earnings gains within the next few days. Jamieson said Exxon's earnings from domestic petroleum and natural gas operations rose 16 per cent from S715 million in 1972 to $833 million last year. Most of that increase, he said, was demonstrably justified by higher sales volume.

Domestic sales volume was up 14.1 per cent, he said, as "Exxon went all out to supply customers with maximum quantities." Petroleum and natural gas operations in the Eastern Hemisphere, where the company experienced its greatest profit increase, were up 83 per cent to $998 million, from $544 million in 1972. Jamieson said, while profits for the Western Hemisphere excluding the United States were up 48 per cent to $458 million. After the news conference, a spokesman for the company acknowledged that its oveseas profits on crude oil destined for' the United States were not accounted for in the company's breakdown of how much it earned in this country. Jamieson during the confer ence noted that two-thirds of the increase in profits in its Western Hemisphere operations came from its Venezuelan Creole Oil subsidiary. The spokesman said half of Creole's oil output winds up in the United States.

Jamieson said that worldwide, the company's 1973 earnings from "our petroleum and natural gas business were about 1.9 cents per gallon of up about one-half per cent per gallon from 1972." The company spokesman said that although natural gas usually is measured in cubic feet, the company had converted it to gallons for simplification.

24, 1974 Wo Windfall Prof its' But Exxon Up 60 P.C. had achieved an 18.8 per cent return on shareholders' equity, or investment, compared with 12.8 per cent for 1972. He said his company and other oil companies for a number of years had operated at equity figures generally lower than many major companies. Jamieson said in 1972 General Motors had a return on equity of 18.5 per cent; Ford 14.6 per cent, and General Electric 17.2 per cent. He said the company's new equity results were adequate for its.

higher capital expenditures. Assails Cutoff Of Military Oil tCi 1974, Los Angeles Times WASHINGTON Sen. Henry M. Jackson, Wednesday demanded that major oil companies explain why they abruptly cut off petroleum supplies to U.S. military units when the Arab-Israeli war broke out last October.

He called such conduct a "blatant, flagrant example oi corporate disloyalty to the United States of America." Jackson said "very reliable" govvernment sources have confirmed the borad outlines of the action taken by at least some of the major oil companies. This, he said, was as follows: When the Mideast fighting erupted, petroleum for the U.S. Sixth Fleet operating in the Mediterranean and other military units was cut off or drastically cut back, even though the oil involved was in the hands of the companies, not the Arab governments. As a result, Jackson said, the Nixon administration invoked the Defense Production Act of 1950 to manipulate oil supplies and bridge the gap. Jackson, who raised the issue during a Senate hearing at which high officials of the nation's seven largest oil companies were testifying, said he did not know which companies were involved or precisely what the chain of events had been.

The oil executives, representing Exxon. Shell, Gulf. Mob Standard Oil of California. Standard Oil of Indiana, and Texaco, did not immediately respond, but they promised to submit answers soon. The oil officials had been called before Jackson's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations to answer questions about the roots of the energy crisis.

Jackson said Wednesday that three days of hearings "have not turned up any hard evidence that the major oil companies deliberately created "the crisis." but "we still do not have the facts to lay these suspicious entirely to rest." In challenging the companies on the military cut-oil. Jackson said the issue "goes to the question of corporate behavior, corporate responsibility. Jackson called for production of corporate documents relating to the events. In particular, he said, he wanted to know whether the companies had responded to pressure from Arab governments or had acted on their own initiative. An account of the cut-off was printed in the Dec.

1 issue of Business Week, but attracted almost no notice elsewhere at the time. Jackson said he had learned about the cut-off during the October war and had subsequently confirmed the gist of the story from government sources. He said the cut-off came while U.S. forces in the Mediterranean were on alert for the Mideast war. According to the Business Week account, the action followed an order from King Faisal of Saudi Arabia to Arameo, the U.S.

consortium owned principally by Exxon, Standard Oil of California, Mobil and Texaco. Arameo officials got the order from Faisal on Nov. 4, 1973. according to the article, and implemented it almost immediately. A iling Conried Hospi italized COLUMBUS.
