Illegal Gulf donations admitted
WASHINGTON (UPI) A former Gulf Oil
official acknowledges making allegedly illegal
campaign contributions to at least 15 senators
and congressmen, including cash paid in a hotel
men’s room and behind a barn, it was learned
yesterday.
Gulf was convicted in 1973 of making illegal
contributions to the 1972 presidential campaign
of Richard M. Nixon and the campaigns of Rep.
Wilbur Mills, D-Ark., and Sen. Henry M.
Jackson, D-Wash.
But UPI learned the list of alleged recipients
has been expanded to at least nine present and
former senators including presidential hopeful
Fred Harris, six present and former
representatives, former Kansas Gov. William
Avery and Pennsylvania’s “Mr. Republican”
George Bloom.
The allegations were made in an Oct. 30
statement to the Securities and Exchange
Commission by Frederick Myers, who retired in
June as Gulf’s legislative coordinator in
Washington. Myers worked for Gulf 47 years, the
last 16 in Washington.
Gulf had no immediate comment.

Myers said he delivered sealed envelopes
“maybe four or five or six times a year” to the
Capitol Hill offices of senators and represen
tatives between 1960 and 1972 when the
Watergate prosecutor began to probe Gulf’s
campaign activities.
Myers said he made 20 trips outside
Washington to deliver sealed envelopes that
were addressed with one person’s name, usually
the elected official or a campaign aide.
In these trips, Myers said he usually went to a
hotel or campaign office, delivered the envelope
and returned to Washington. Sometimes he was
met at the airport, he said.
Myers said he gave one sealed envelope to Sen.
Edwin Mechem, R-N.M., “behind the barn”'of a
New Mexico ranch in 1964. Mechem lost his bid
for re-election to Democrat Joseph Montoya.
He said he delivered another to former Rep.
Richard Roudebush, R-Ind., in a hotel men’s
room in Indianapolis.
Myers said he never mentioned Gulf’s name
but told each recipient the sealed envelope was
from “Mr. Wild.”
Claude Wild, who resigned last year as Gulf’s
top official in Washington, was co-defendant
with Gulf in the 1973 conviction for illicit cam
paign activities. Wild took the Fifth Amend
ment, refusing to testify against himself, when
he met with SEC investigators Oct. 29.
Wild pleaded guilty Nov. 13. 1973, to violating
the federal law prohibiting corporate political
gifts and was fined $l,OOO. Gulf the same day also
entered a guilty plea and was fined $5,000 in
each case, the maximum provided by law.
Other members of Congress named by Myers
included Sens. Howard Baker, R-Tenn., Howard
Cannon, D-Nev., Vance Hartke, D-Ind.. former
Sens. Marlow Cook, R-Ky., Edward Gurney, R-
Fla., Wallace Bennett, R-Utah, Norris Cotton, R-
N.H., Reps Herman Schneebeli, R-Pa., James
Burke, D-Mass., and former Reps Julia Hansen,
D-Wash., Page Belcher, R-Okla., and James
Fulton, R-Pa.
Myers said he saw the sealed envelopes
opened only twice. Both times the envelope was
filled with cash, he said.
Myers said he did not know how much money
was given to the candidates, but $lO,OOO was paid
in cash to a Republican fund-raising dinner

Conferees ban floor
for oil price limits
WASHINGTON (UPI) Congressional conferees on energy
agreed yesterday to prohibit the President from setting any
minimum price for oil or its products.
The ban on a “price floor” is part of a comprehensive
energy bill the joint House-Senate conference committee is
working to complete before Nov. 15, the expiration date for oil
price controls the legislation would replace.
Republicans had considered offering a substitute for the
price section conferees agreed upon last week, but the con
ferees quit yesterday without taking up the price matter
without taking up the price matter.
That substitute, Sen. Paul Fannin, R-Ariz., said, w’ould
bring oil prices down somewhat at the start, but would exempt
some high-cost oil such as from Alaska, and would allow
greater flexibility than the plan the conferees adopted. To get
the new idea before the conferees would take a formal
reconsideration vote.
In yesterday's session, the conferees agreed on language in
the House version of the bill that the President be banned from
any action “to establish minimum prices for crude oil,
residual fuel oil, or any refined petroleum product.”
