More than Week of Efforts fo Dust Ndzis Ends in
 Movement THOUSANDS POUR
 ACROSS BORDER
No Fighting Mentioned in
 First Reports : Ger mans May Help

LONDON, Aug. 25.- British and Russian troops simultaneously in vaded the middle east oil kingdom of Iran shortly before midnight last night to enforce their joint demands for an custer of German agents in the country, climaxing more than a week of diplomatic representations from London and Moscow, according to reports issued here today.
 British troops crossed the frontier of southern Iran along the Gulf of Persia, while Soviet forces moved from the Caucasus Mountains on the north. The Moslem kingdom derives its present name from ancient Ary- ana. The land of the Aryans is the site of the worlds richest single oil field.
 Early reports of the invasion started just after midnight and and made no mention of fighting. Iranian forces were withdrawn 12 miles from the Soviet frontier last week to avoid border incidents. About 30 Russian divisions of 450,- 900 troops were reported massed on the Iran-Soviet border.
 Whether Iran will resist with pos sible German help is moot ques- ton. London observers said the Brit ish faced a race against time, de- claring that German agents in Iran will attempt to destroy the oil pipe line running from Jsamid Sulamin to the Iraq frontier and wreck the great oil fields in the north.

WASHINGTON f--- Two months have passed since Robert H. Jackson was elevated to the Supreme Court. and Roosevelt's long delay in ap- pointing his successor has started all sorts of rumors about who would be the next Attorney General.
 One story put tall, handsome Fed eral Security Administrator Paul Mo- Mutt in the lead. Another said Roose- welt was seriously considering Blair Bell, prominent Chicago attorney. A third gave the Justice Department to Assistant Attorney General Thur man Arnold, hard hitting trust bust CT.
 But you can now write it down that the next Attorney General will be the man who has. been acting Attorney General during the past two months of delay, Solicitor Gen. eral Francis Riddle.
 Also you can write it down that Biddle's successor as Solicitor Gen. eral will be Charles Fahy, who is now Assistant Solicitor General. Both appointments will be announc- ed shortly.
 Francis Riddle, of the famous Philadelphia Riddles, was born in France, educated at Quaker col lege, and first struck the New Deal limelight as Chairman of the Ma tional Labor Relations Board. Ele- vated to one of the most important judgeships in the country, the third Circuit Court of Appeals, he resign ed to become Solicitor General, just as Robert P. Patterson resigned from the Second Circuit Court to become Under Secretary of War
