"4. The battery of diagnostic tests is continuing as we attempt to find the basic cause for his original non-traumatic phlebitis." Nixon entered the hospital Sept. 23 and had been treated with both oral and in- =ESE might - result from the Port Chalmers outbreak, but noted there are normally about 540 pneumonia and influenza deaths per week in the United States during the three-month winter flu season. The Port Chalmers strain has a higher mortality rate because it more often strikes adults than last year's Type B strain, which mainly struck children who were more able to resist the disease. Flu 7 xelated deaths were down sharply last year because of the prevalence of the milder Type B strain. Despite predictions of a flu epidemic, Corey said only about nine million of the 45 million persons in the "high-risk" category are expected to get flu shots this winter. He said the flu vaccine, which is between 70 and 80 per cent effective, has been updated to inclUde protection against the Port Chalmers strain. The high-risk group which shciuld be certain to get shots include the elderly and the chronically ill, said Corey. Corey said the Port Chalmers flu was widespread in Australia and other soutrrn hemisphere countries last summer, 'and several case =of the disease were isolated in Georgia and Mississippi during the summer. He said it is expected to hit the southeast, midwest, south west and Pacific regions t}sis winter. The mid-Atlantic and -northeast areas are not expecteU to be hit so hard because they had outbreaks of Type 4 flu last winter..

Mines Minister Valentin Hernandez explained in a news conference that 4 Venezuela's aim was to cut into excess profits made by such internationalhil companies such as Exxon, Shell ffnd Gulf, but in such a way as to avoid in creasing prices for consumers. As a result of the measure, Venezuela, the world's third largest oil producer, will collect 97 per cent of oil industry profits this year, bringing its total oil tax revenue to more than $9 billion. Venezuela's 12 other partners in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries applied the 3.5 percent in crease for the last three months of 1974. But the South American oil giant made it effective for the entire year with a whopping 18.5 per cent hike for the last quarter.

Oil industry sources questioned on the statement said they would have to ab sorb the additional taxes for the first nine months of 1974. An official source said that the companies will undoubtedly pass on to consumers the 3.5 per cent increase for the last three months of the year, "but they can't pass along anything for the January—September period." Hernandez discounted the possibility that the U.S. government would react adversely to the tax hike. "The U.S. wivernment is looking into the companies! excess profits itself and will probably take some kind of action too," he said.; Hernandez said that company profits per barrel, which had been 61 cents for the first nine months of the year, would be 21 cents under the new tax hike. - Venezuela's per barrel share rose from $8.83 to $9.06 as compared to an average of $1.70 per barrel last year. Exxon subsidiary Creole Petroleum Corp., the country's largest producer reported in July that its first-half 1974 profits were $81.3 million, up 7.1 per cent from the first six months of 1973. 40-es. 41204 Wilt lith tettle 7 7 Calm, USDA Inspected WHOLE Ribs of Beef ~~ r~, ~,: The Daily Collegian Wednesday, October 2, 1974-7 As a founding member of OPEC, Venezuela had been expected to follow the oil cartel's recommendation made in September in Vienna to increase taxes or royalty payments by 3.5 per cent for the last quarter of the year. The additional excess profits tax, however, was kept secret until revealed yesterday by the mines minister. Hernandez said the decision to hike taxes was made to counter world in flation and to narrow the gap between Venezuelan crude prices and those of more costly Middle Eastern oil on the U.S. East coast, its main market. In Manila, newspapers reported China will supply the Philippines with one million tons of oil over the next year and a quarter and the first shipment is scheduled to arrive this week. There was no government con firmation of the reports of oil purchases from China negotiated by Philippine first lady Imelda R Marcos during her 10-day visit to. Peking last month. The press reports said China will deliver 250,000- tons of oil starting this month until January. 1975. Next year, China will supply the Philippines a total of 750,000 tons.
