many more headaches for the Allied
high commands, by an American
Minister of unusual ability or a few
well-chosen American advisers.
What is most significant about Iran
Is this. Iran is typical challenge
to British h-American craftsmanship
and leadership. The key to Amer
ican success in Teheran to date has
been the fact that q handful of in
telligent men have been working on
the basis of doing something for
the Iranians as we'll as ourselves"
In Teheran 1t is a common thing
for Iranians to remark that they feel
that British policy has all too rarely
taken consideration of the interests
of the country. Yet Iran, like so
many small countries scattered
around the globe under the shadow
Of war, is and will remain a test
tube for Anglo-American co-opera-
ton.
Pan-American Quits.
Some months ago Pan-American
airplanes extended their run from
Cairo and Basra, on the Persian
Gulf, up to Teheran. That greatly
facilitated mail and other services
into Russia and there was room for
many more passenger planes per
week, In and out of Teheran, since
British Overseas Airways were not
able to handle more than a fraction
OF the demands. Despite this fact,
Pan-American soon pulled out of
Teheran and the explanation which
we heard there on all sides was, 1.-THE
British don't want American

minded. Commenting on this type
Of reaction, one American remarked
sadly: "It's too bad. This Is nc

Great Allied Problem.
Iran today is a striking example
of this great Allied problem, and
of some Of the very real difficulties
which stand in the way of its solu-
ton. On the other hand, some of
the Pan-American boys who used
to come into Teheran were a pretty
cocky lot When the time came for
them to choose between going over

the terribly tough job ahead of him

Experts Esteemed.
The American experts and their
STATS, who have thus far gone to
Iran, have been carefully selected
thanks to extremely good judgment
in Washington-and have created
an excellent impression among the
Iranians. So, too, has the American
Minister, Louis Dreyfus-and one
should also mention his equally able
and hospitable wife. In all honesty
Mr.. and Mrs. Dreyfus constitute a
remarkable diplomatic team. They
have won both the esteem and
friendship of Iranians everywhere.
At this exceptionally vital cross
roads between Soviet Russia and
Anglo o-American bases in Africa,
India and the Near East, the Drey-
fuses have an 18-hour -a-day job
and they treat it that way.
Iran Is not only difficult post for
an American Minister. Right now
it's q tough spot for Americans and
British in general. It's domestic
political situation is mess; if pos
sible, its finances are in worse
mess, and its economics ere topsy-
turvy. British and Soviet troops oc-
cupied Iran in order to assure a
southern lease-lend route into Rus
sia and also to keep the Nazis from
completing half-built Trojan horse
in this strategic land.
Pro-Nazi Sentiment Strong.
But pro-German sentiment Is still
very strong among Iranians, while
anti-British and anti-Russian feel
ing is almost as pronounced in the
opposite sense. For these reasons,
1t was absolutely essential to have
an American Minister and American
experts in Teheran who could COM
mand the confidence of the country's
elite.
Even so, Iran cannot be steered

ers In Iran that looked pretty COM
mercial minded, too.
To the blithe traveller (of which
there are many more still wander
ing around the map then you could
possibly imagine), Iran looks bright
and smiling and Teheran beckons
as q half Oriental, half Occidental
oasis In which to drown all care.
In reality Iran is a testing ground
In international cooperation and
for British h-American teamwork. In
both respects 1t demonstrates what
a tremendous lot Of loyal and con-
centrated effort remains to be made,
by ourselves and by the British
alike.

 Faces Charges

SEATTLE, Aug 28--Three Seattle men and one of Kansas City face charges of mail fraud in connection with the sale of $300,000 worth of stock in Alaskan and United States mining enterprises between 1853 and 1941.
 Indicted by the Federal Grand Jury were Earle w. Knight, pub fisher of the Alaska Weekly; Mat thew Rease. mining engineer; Fred erick Vincent, of Seattle. and Simon Hedrick. of Kansas City.
 They are charged with promoting a series of enterprises which they operated for their own purposes and without regard or interest to their investors
 The indictments also charged that sales made were deceptive mis- leading, reckless, and under false pretenses.
 Rease commented he had noth- ing to do with the sale of stock but was made President of one of the companies when it was in bad shape"
 Five other persons were named participants in the alleged fraud
 Each of the accused maintained their innocence through their at- torneys or in person.
 The organizations named in the indictment are the Mines Develop ment Association. started early in 1853; Northern Empire Minine Company, organized in July 1859: Desert Gold Production Corpora ton, organized in July 1854; Rease Production Corporation, organized in December, l940.
 Forty men named as participants but not charged. are Paul B Lowe James c. Stephens, L. L. Warties the late R. A. Uhlin, and Frank Cotter, all of whom ceased in part icipating more than three years ago
 Paul Coles, attorney for Knight and Vincent, said apparently the Government indicted Knight be- cause of some articles he published in his newspaper. Coles said the articles were published in good faith" obtained from sources or which he had right to rely"

Former Residents of
 Juneau, Prisoners of
 Japs, Are Back in US.

Two former residents of Juneau have arrived in Jersey City aboard the exchange ship Gripsholm, after being held prisoners of the Jap anese. The two were among the 1451 Americans repatriated from Japan and the Orient.
 The former residents referred to are the Rev and Mrs. Albert K. Reiton, who are also accompanied by their daughter Miss Esther Reiton.
 Mrs. Reiton is a sister of Dave Femmer of Juneau but the story does not end there.
 Many years ago, Albert K. Reiton was the driver of the horse and wagon delivery of the B. M Beh- rends Company. Etta Femmer. now Mrs. Reiton, was also employed in the store. A romance developed and Albert and Etta left Juneau for the south and subsequently, were married in Portland, Oregon. Later they went to China as mis- sionaries. That was about 30 years ago. The couple has been in China since then and were in Hongkong when the Japs captured that city and were held prisoners. During the missionary work in China, a daughter was born and she has also returned to the good old USA with her parents.

 This authority who preferred that his name not be used, said there has actually been two phases of Jap activities since the American forces established themselves in the southwest Pacific The first was the landing of 700 Japs who were wiped out at Guadalcanal Island and series of smaller attacks by planes. We came off pretty well, destroying g Jap aircraft and losing only four" this authority said.
 The second phase can not be called full scale offensive but a reconnaissance in force. Units of the Jap fleet have withdrawn. We hit some of their ships and hope we sank some but we hate to have the people get the idea major victory has been scored said the authority

Aetideni Rate, Army

 Below 10-Year Average
BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON. Aug. 28.-When the Army air forces announced recently, and with some justifiable pride. that their accident rate was 68 per cent lower than 12 years ago and 10 per cent below the 1930-40 ten-year average. they didn't tell all the story,
 Some of the flying school safety records have been phenomenal. For instance, at Chico Field. Calf, student pilots have flown the equi- valent of 500 times around the equator without single fatal ac- cident. At Craig Field, Alabama. an advanced flying school, the pilots clicked off total distance Of 1,179 times the earth's equa- torial circumference with only one minor accident; and B million miles without any accident due to mechanical causes.
 This last is important because not only were the pilots trainees, but according to the National Aero nautics Association, which gathers the records on such things, the ground crew mechanics also were students.
