Replacing Persian Oil Would Be

Business Costly

A

London, July 4.

Mr Hugh Gaitskell, Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer, estimated today that the gross cost of replacing oil from Abadan in Persia might be as much as $350,000,000 a year.

He stated this in answer to questions at a Press con- ference for financial editors. Mr Gaitskell added it was

possible to estimate the net cost if Britain had to find

oil from other sources than Persia since some of the oil bought might be re-sold for dollars.

Giving a mid-year review of Britain's economic position he said it was not so menacing as while ago. was a little

An allegation that he signed a statement under duress, in which he admitted buying a gun and taking part in an armed robbery, was made by Pang Keung when he testified on his own behalf before the Senior Puisne Judge, Mr Justice Gould, in the Criminal Sessions this morning.

Pang alleged that whenever he denied the Police allegations he was seized in the neck by a Chinese detec- tive sergeant. He alleged that he was forced to con- fess. He could do, nothing else.
