Latest Outbreak is When Persian Grabs Veil From Widow Of Slain Consul And Tn en Splits Upon Her.
Native Policeman Made No Attempt to Protect Her From Assault, Dispatches to Washington Say.

Washington, July as. - State de- partment officials prepared today to formally ask the Persian government to take immediate measures to pro. tect American citiezns in that country from attacks and insults from natives understood 10 be hostile against for eigners as a result of the killing of Major Robert Imbrie, American vice. consul at Teheran, and developments following that affair. Decision of the department to take this action followed receipt of advices from Joseph s. Kornfeld, American minister. telling of insults to Mrs. Im- brie. widow of the former consul, for which young Persian was said to be responsible.
 Widow Is Assaulted
 According to the minister's des- patches, the Persian youth grabbed the veil worn by Mrs. Imbrie, at- tempting to tear 1t from her, and at the same time expectorating upon her person. The reported outrage was said to have occurred at Teheran last Tuesday.
 A native policeman, reported to have been some distance from ths place where Mrs Imbrie was attacked but who Is believed to have witnessed the affair, made no attempt to protect her or interfere with her assailant. the despatch said.
 Mrs. Imbrie was riding with the wife of one of the officers attached to the American mission when the outrage occurred.
 State department officialst had de- cided to await the completion of the investigation being made of fhe mur- der of Major Imbrie before taking any official action or attempting to fix re- sponsibility for the vice consu's death. They had received formal apologies from the Persian govern ment and assurances that immediate punishment would be meted out to the assailants.
 Martial Law Considered
 Further steps, including the placing of the Teheran district under martial law for the protection of foreigners, also had been taken by the Persian authorities and their actions had caus- ed officials here to believe that the safety of Americans and other for signers had been assured.
 It was made plain today, however. hat the state department would not olerate without protest the situation existing in Teheran or the possibility ,f future attacks by natives upon .tk l.. # its decision in this connection was xpected to be forwarded without de- ay to Minister Kornfeld for presen- ation by him to the responsible off CTS of the Persian government.
