' Shulman said Dubin had made up his mind before the inquiry that Shulman's allega- tions were unfounded. ' The charge of bias came after Cotnam's lawyer, Barry Pepper, accused Shulman of 'making up" a letter to Attor- ney: - General Arthur Wishart saying Cotnam had not ordered an inquest into the death of a Hamilton woman, though he knew she died in "unusual cir- cumstances."" Pepper said Cotnam did not know of the circumstances.

Last year Western Europe got less than 60 per cent of its oil through the canal. ABUNDANCE OF SHIPS The 1956-57 closure coincided with a. world - wide shipping shortage. This time there was a glut. About 3,000,000 tons of shipping had been laid up be- cause of low charter prices. With the new demand, the cost of chartering tankers, went up five or six times, adding about $10 to the cost of ship- ping each ton of oil from the Persian Gulf to Western Europe. One day in June, British Pet- roleum swooped onto the mare grain to the more lucrative oil traffic. The British weekly Economist estimated that an- other 4,000,000 tons of dry cargo bulk carriers are due for deliv- ery in the next six months, which should take much of the strain off shipping and possibly bring down charter rates. Egypt's closure ironically has been a blow for India, one of its strongest supporters, and a boon for South Africa, one of Nasser's enemies.
