The President of the Cuban Petrolcan Institute, Senor Al- fonso Gutierrez, said the first Soviet oil shipment was due on Thursday.

The Institute runs the Cuban oil industry, supplemented by the three foreign-owned refiners, Shell and American-owned Esso Castro-Government last week and Texaco taken over by Fidel because the refineries refused to

handle Soviet oil...

Senator Gutierrez said the Soviet Union had signed a con- tract in enable 80 Greek tankers to carry oil to 'Cuba.

He praised the "extraordinary effort" of the Soviet Union in providing 19 tankers to bring

oil this month.

The Soviet tanker Chernovski, arrived in Havana yesterday with the Arst load of oil pro- misai to Fidel Castro's Gov- ernment and this will enable the Cuban Government to re- open operations at the Shell and Esso refineries,
