derstanding that the tenants will

Britons in Iran
Ask Air Travel
Back To London
Ship Evacuation la
‘Loss of Face’ Oil
Workers Complain
ABADAN, Iran, Oct. 2 —(U.R)—
British oil workers demanded today
that the British government fly
them out of Iran rather than sub-
ject them to an "unnecessary de-
grading” evacuation by sea.
The 323 remaining staff techni-
cians of the Iranian-nationalized,
British-owned Anglo-Iranlan OH
company cabled a strong protest to
London against plans to remove
them on the cruiser Maurltls tomor-
row before an Iranian expulsion
order expires.
Dislike Ridicule
“We regard marching up a gang-
plank with the Persians laughing
and Jeering as unnecessarily de-
grading and see no reason why the
original air evacuation plan shouldn't
be carried out,” a senior company
official said.
The Iranian government has re-
fused to give the Mauritis permis-
sion to come alongside the Abadan
Jetties tomorrow to pick up the
staff. As a result, the Britons, bur-
dened with baggage and pets, will
have to be ferried in small launches
across a 200-yard stretch of water
to the ship lying at anchor in the
river.
The oil workers told London that
they are unwilling to become a pub-
lic spectacle.
Ask for Air Travel
They said they also were afraid
they would be asked to stay Indef-
initely In Basrah, Iraq, across the
river from Abadan, pending a se-
curity council decision on Britain's
protest to the security council
against the Iranian expulsion order.
They asked that they be taken
out in eight chartered planes and
flown directly to London as plan-
ned originally.
The Russians were reported to-
day to have renewed their promise
of economic aid to Iran under the
recently negotiated barter agree-
ment and to have suggested at the
same time that Iran ease restric-
tions on the Communist Tudeh
party.

Governors Favor States' Right
To Hold or Release Relief Rolls
OATLINBURO, Tenn., Oct. 2-
(>P)—'The nation's governors voted
unanimous approval today of a
move to reserve to the state the
right to decide whether their re-
lief rolls shall be mode public.
The action came on motion of
Oovernor Thomas E. Dewey, New
York Republican, after Oovernor
James P. Byrnes, South Carolina
Democrat, demanded In a stormy
session with Federal Security Ad-
ministrator Oscar Ewing that the
governors act on the question.
Federal law now requires secrecy
of relief rollR. The senate has ap-
proved a measure to lift the secrecy
bun but the measure still Is pend-
ing In the house.
Byrnes asked the 43rd annual
governors conference to go on rec-
ord In favor of relief roll publicity.
Georgia Governor Herman E. Tal-
madge said such publicity would
reduce relief rolls by nt least nne-
thlrd.
But Ewing told a stormy session
of the conference that such pub-
licity would do more harm than
good.
The governors sailed Into Ewing
after Utah's Republican Oovernor
J. Bracken Lee had challenged
them to discuss the "real prom-
lems" of Inflation, taxation, com-
munism. Integrity In government
and the Korean war Instead of
what he called the "side Issue" of
social security.
Byrnes, a Democratic former
senator, secretary of state and Su-
preme court Justice, told Ewing
bluntly he believes congress ought
to pay more attention to what the
governors want than to Ewlng'a
recommendutlans on the relief Is-
sue.
The senate has voted to repeal
the secrecy provision and the issue
now is pending before the house
ways and means committee ns an
amendment to a bill.

General Says Allies Now Have
Men, Supplies To Clear Korea
TOKYO, Oct. 2—(UP)—General Omar N. Bradley said
today that the united nations have enough men in Korea
to stop any possible Communist attack.
Bradley, chairman of the U, S. joint chiefs of staff,
made the comment at a Korean airport as he prepared to fly
back to Tokyo after a two-day tour of the front.
He also told newsmen earlier in the day that he believed
the united nations could win the Korean war on the battle-
field if truce talks collapse.
Bradley landed at Tokyo’s Haneida airport. With him
were General Matthew B. Ridgway, supreme UN commander,
and Charles E. “Chips” Bolden, U. S. state department ex-
pert on Russia, who accompanied Bradley from Washington.
* Other developments in the Korean war included:
1. American Sabrejets shot down six and probably seven
Communist MIG-15 jet fighters and damaged unother with-
out loss in two air battles over northwest Korea. The six
planes definitely destroyed
equalled the fifth airforce’s
record bag for a single day.
2. Fifth airforce fighters and
light bombers wrecked 650 out ol
2.000 trucks spotted during the
night rushing Communist rein-
forcements and supplies to the
battlefront.
Reds Stall Attack
3. Fiercely-resisting Chinese
troops stalled the UN “Umlted ob-
jective" uttack west of Chorwon on
the west-central front for the third
straight day. The allies were trying
to push the Reds from the last
peak they hold on an Important
ridgeline. The Communists bom-
barded the UN troops with 400
shell* in foust hoars.- <~
4. A fifth day passed without a
Communist reply to Ridgway's
proposal to shift the suspended
cease-fire talks from Kaesong to
Songhyon. eight miles to the
southeast In "no-man’s-land."
There was speculation that dissen-
sion over a reply had broken out
among the North Koreans, Chinese
and Russians.
5. Chinese Communist Command-
er-In-Chief Chu Teh Issued an
order of the duy to China's armed
forces accusing the U. S. of "wreck-
ing and obstructing" the Korean
truce talks and preparing for a
new war. He said war "seriously
threatens the security of our
motherland."
Bradley was asked at the Korean
airport before his departure for
Tokyo whether the UN had enough
troops in Korea to do the Job
properly.
No Truce Comment
"We certainly have got enough
men to keep them (the Commun-
ists) from rushing over us," he
said. "I don't think they can hurt
us any."
Asked if the suspended armistice
conference were likely to be re-
sumed Bradley said only:
"That depends on the situation.”
He would not say flatly that the
allies would not go back to Kaesong
if the Communists reject Ridgway’s
AMPHIBIOUS PLAN?-Pi-
ping radio has charged that the
UN plans to send the 45th division
with other reserve troops on land-
ings of both coasts of Korea, north
of the present battle lines. The
Communist reixirt said sea opera-
tions in the vicinity of Chinnumpo
and Wonsan have been Intensified.
The newsmap above shows how
such amphibious operations might
place UN forces In the shorter
"waistline" of Korea. 50 to 80 miles
above the present baltle line. iNEA

Assailed by Lions Club Speaker

of professional paupers" with its
current welfare program, members
of the Lions club were told today.

lic’s lack of Interest In Its govern-
ment, Illustrating his theme with
the fact that less than half the
eligible voters went to the polls In
the lust presidential election.

personnel management office be
set up, with the merit system In-
stalled for pubUc employes; a sound
system for procurement of suppUee;
adequate accounting of county road

tures council, set up In 1946. Is a
non-partisan and non-lobbying or-

Capitol Censors
Hit by Senator
Truman Accused Of
Iron Curtain Tactics
WASHINGTON. Oct. 2 —
Senator John W. Bricker (Repub-
lican. Ohio) charged President
Truman today with trying to lower
n "disgusting Iron curtain" around
the executive branch of govern-
ment.
His protest was aimed at Mr.
Truman's executive order directing
civilian ugencles to withhold Infor-
mation when deemed necessary In
the Interest of national security.
Along with Senator Homer Per-
giuon i Republican. Michigan) and
Senator Homer Capehart (Repub-
lican. Indiana) Bricker Introduced
n resolution last week to "repeal"
the order.
In a speech prepared for delivery
in the senate today, he said tlw
order was "unworthy of a president
of the United States whatever his
motives may be.”
"It Is un Insult to the congress,
to the world's best press and to a
free people," Bricker said. "It is
subversive In every sense of the
word."
He said fair administration of
the order "Is at best only a theo-
retical posslbUity." Censorship by
the defense department and the
atomic energy commission must be
tolerated, he said, but experienoe
with the mUitary establishment
shows "that the power to suppraaa
Information wlU be abused."
The White Bouse reiterated yes-
terday the order would not bo
withdrawn. Presidential Proas Boo- *
retary Joseph Short said: “Theta's
nothing wrong with the order.*
