OIL EXPERTS
FIVE AMERICANS COMING TO NEW ZEALAND CLOSE SECRECY OBSERVED. NO INTERVIEWS GIVEN IN AUSTRALIA. MELBOURNE, June 6. Five American oil experts from Texas, California and Oklahama arrived in the liner Maloja from London today en route to New Zealand. The group is under the leadership of Mr Hobart La Marr, who has played an important part in international oil investigations during the last 15 years. Others are Messrs Robert Kuss, George Baker and C. P. McDonald. The men had assembled at Beyrut, Syria, for investigations on behalf of the Amiranian Oil Company of Iran and Afghanistan, but a political hitch cancelled their plans and they were instructed to proceed immediately to New Zealand. They will leave Sydney on the Niagara on Thursday. Secrecy surrounds their visit, the men declining interviews. Mr La Marr waved a cable and said his principals warned him to release no news.
