Is making daily reports to Guy A.
Richardson, Office of Defense
Transportation official who is Fed
eral manager of the transit system.
The company reported that II few
er men were at work yesterday than
on Tuesday-the day before the
operators struck and the Govern
ment took over.
Meanwhile, nine local organiza-
tions issued statement expressing
the belief that the wage demands
of the Capital Transit workers zap
pear to us to be just and reasonable"
and that such an increase would not
necessitate an increased fare.
Upgrading Urged.
The statement also urged the ODT
to upgrade qualified colored en-
ployes of the company to positions
of platform men and bus operators.

Delegation From Iran
Expected in Moscow
To Discuss Disorders

MOSCOW, Nov. 24.-An Ira
nian Embassy official said today
that delegation from Iran was
expected to arrive in Moscow
soon to discuss the situation In
the Iranian province of Azerbai-
jan where disorders have oc-
Cured recently.
Soviet Tass agency dispatches
from Teheran, the Iranian capital
said 744 delegates from every district
of Azerbaijan had met in Tabriz
last Tuesday and demanded gen
uine self-administration" for the
population of Northern Iran.
Political observers in Moscow in
terpreted the developments in
Northern Iran as the first step by
the population in gaining local
autonomy within the framework of
the Iranian government.
The observers pointed out that the
conference in Tabriz did not stipu-
late local autonomy, but added that
this was the next logical step to ex-
pect.
Kurdish Angle Stressed.
Demands by the residents of
Northern Iran for self-government
or local autonomy naturally would
be looked on favorably by the Rus
slams who are desirous for security
reasons Of having friendly relations
with their neighbors on the south.
The Tudeh Peoples Masses) party
is in closest relations with the
Soviet Union and is the leading ad-
vocate for administration and
local autonomy for Azerbaijan.
Observers paid particular atten-
ton to the Kurdish angle, saying it
might be playing a much more i'm
portant part in the Iranian situation
than appears on the surface.
A dispatch from Teheran said re-
cent disorders included Kurdistan,
in addition to Iranian Azerbaijan.
No details were given.
Kurdistan is a mountainous dis
trict which lies partially in Turkey,
Iran and Iraq. There also is a Kurd
district in the southwestern corner
OF the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist
Republic.
Elected at Many Meetings.
Delegates to the Tabriz confer
ence, Tass said. were elected at nu-
merous meetings held all over
Northern Iran.
The demand for self administra-
ton was put forward at all these
meetings" Tass said.
Dispatches said the recent meet
ing of the Tudeh parties in North
ern Iran show that the aims of
the Democratic party and the Tudeh
meetings pursue no other objective
than the fulfillement of the consti-
tutional provision guaranteeing de-
mocracy"
Iranian officials have said that
armed members of the Democratic
party have conducted separatist dis
orders in the Azerbaijan. There
have been some reports that the
Democratic party was an of shoot

Total Reorganization
OF Military Services
Urged by De GauIIe
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, Nov. 24-Gen. Charles de
Gaulle has asked the Constituent
Assembly for complete reorganiza-
tion of Frances armed forces-a
step he repeatedly urged on his su-
periors without success in his years
of service as French Army officer
French newspapers said today the
generals program would permit a
thorough shakeup of the country's
tradition-ridden army and the in
PRODUCTION of new ideas and methods
made necessary by the advent of the
atomic bomb.
Prior to Frances collapse in 1910
Gen. de Gaulle urged greater
mechanization of the army. His
ideas largely were ignored by his
own country, but were studied close
ly by the Germans.
Wide Demobilization Urged.
Observers interpreted the an
nouncement of widespread demob-
ilization from the classes of 1898
through 1912 in the Medical and
Sanitation Corps as a possible in
dication that the new army might
be fashioned after the closely knit
elite force so often proposed by Gen
de Gaulle.
After outlining to the Assembly
yesterday his newly constituted gov
ernment's economic and foreign af-
fairs policies, Gen. de Gaulle said
Finally it appears to the govern
ment that the Assembly cannot COM
plete its career before laying new
foundations for national defense"
Gen. de Gaulle's cabinet has been
so organized that he heads the
single National Defense Ministry
He is assisted by a Minister OF
Armies in charge of personnel and
a Minister of Armament for Sup
plies.
In his discussion of foreign af-
fairs, Gen. de Gaulle foresaw
Frances role in the world as a link
between the East and West. He
added that the nation would not
become pawn" in a game of in
ternational politics.
Real Agreement Sought.
Gen. de Gaulle said his govern
ment was striving to reach "a real
agreement" with Britain while
Tightening Frances traditional
links" with Belgium, the Neither
lands, Luxembourg, Italy and even
tually Spain when France finds
Spain ION our road which is that
of democracy"
He said the government intends
to nationalize first the credit serv-
ices and power industries, and Sec
ond. insurance companies.
The Constituent Assembly unani-
mously voted confidence in Gen
de Gaulle's new cabinet, and the
Communists pledged loyal but mot
blind support of his interim gov
ernment.

At the White House conference,
Mr.. Schwellenbach said he gave the

The Secretary refused comment on
the outlook for settlement.
Mr. Gibson was called back to

tance below the mill. In fact, it is but
a few yards north Of the Geological
Park boundary and west of the creek.
1t is picturesque old house, which
was erected about 1840 The stone walls
are as true and as stout today as they
were when the masons first finished
them. 1t is an enduring structure, with
slate roof and iron porches.
Until few years ago the walls Of
this old building were covered with q
heavy growth of English ivy. This has
all been removed and today the walls
are bare and possibly lack some of their
earlier charm, but generally speaking,
except for slight modern touch here
and there, made necessary through de-
terioration, the structure is about as
it was when first built

sion house, comprised the George w.

Early Landmarks
OF the early landmarks in the park
one of the most interesting is the early
home of Joshua Pierce, known as the
Linnean Hill mansion, erected in 1923.
After the death of Mr.. Pierce, Joshua
Klingle took up his residence at Lin
mean Hill with his wife Laura T. Klingle,
said to have been Baltimore lady of re-
f1nement, whose maiden name was Gay,
and who was so proud of her descent
from the Indian Princess Pocahontas,
that she always kept hanging in her
parlor portraits of Pocahontas and King
Powhatan.
The territory now embraced within
the District was parceled out to the
early settlers by the English agents
and the odd names of the grants are
still to be found in the record books of
local real estate. Gift" for instance,
was surrounded by various pieces of
land, some of them being known as
Slippery HILL" Argyle" by which
name Thomas Blagden called his coun-
try home (the original piece of land
being known as Argyle Cowl g.
Lawn'D. On the west the Pierce prop
cTCy was eIlJOlHeQ 10 DumpdrCOn,
which is the source of all the Dunn
barton names now familiar to residents
of the District, particularly in the
Georgetown section. Dumbarton Rock
marked one of the boundaries of Dunn
barton tract.
The Pierce Mill
Soon after settling in Rock Greek
Valley Mr.. Pierce began to appreciate
the commercial value of the waters of
the creek. He first constructed wood
en- mill. This structure was erected
probably about 1870. The present stone
mill, which stands at the junction of
Pierce Mill road and the creek, is one
Of the stalwart examples of the solid
architecture of the early 18th century.
The date OF erection was about 1920.
There are several small stone build
ings, used as springhouses and potato
houses, that bear dates OF erection as
early as 1900.
The other Joshua Pierce mansion Is
not 50 widely known as the old mill.
