TALKS IN ENUGU
(N.ZPA.-Reuter —CopyriohD ENUGU, August 4. A top executive of Shell-B.P. is having talks with the Biafran authorities in Enugu aimed at settling the dispute over payment of royalties of £7 million. Both the Federal authorities and the secessionist Biafran regime had claimed the money, and the oil crisis has become one of the central points of the four-week-old civil war. No details have been announced of the talks, which started yesterday, but Radio Biafra last night broadcast for the first time a categorical denial by Shell-B.P. of Biafran accusations of collusion with Federal forces. The Shell exeutive, Mr F. F. McFadzean, arrived on Wednesday night and immediately called on the BritishDutch company’s Nigerian manager, Mr Stanley Gray, who has been detained in an Enugu hotel for over a week.
