TEHERAN, Dec. 14.-A high
government source said today
rebellious tribesmen threatened
imminent capture of the Azer-
baijan Province capital of Ia
briz, and the town of Ardabil
ITO miles to the east.
The announcement came as Gov.
Bayatt of Azerbaijan arrived in
Teheran by air from besieged Tabriz.
Bayatt said he had been forced to
leave by leaders of the movement
for local autonomy. He said he was
accompanied to his plane by Jafar
Pishehvari, President of the newly
formed Azerbaijan government and
Democrat party leader.
Iranian garrisons in both cities
were reported surrounded by insur-
gent forces, demanding immediate
surrender. The embattled force at
Ardabil was said to be hemmed in
by 1000 attackers.
Teheran Orders Awaited.
The Tabriz garrison, said a gov
ernment official, was awaiting orders
from Teheran to fight or surrender.
Orders to both garrisons were dis
patched in code last night, but their
nature was not disclosed
British Ambassador Sir Raeder
Billiard and American Embassy
representative John D. Jernegan,
left Teheran by plane for Moscow
today and the three-power Foreign
Ministers meeting. Spokesman at
both embassies said the purpose of
the trip obviously was to discuss the
Soviet attitude toward what the
Russians have described as a Demo-
cratic party revolt in the troubled
Northwestern Iran area.
Premier Ibrahim Hakimi also pre-
pared to leave for Moscow for dis
cussions with the Soviet government.
The Iranian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs appealed to Russia, Britain
and the United States to withdraw
their troops from the country
Immediately.
Skirmishes Reported.
Official reports earlier in the week
from the turbulent. northwest prov
ince told of small skirmishes taking
place there, although information
has been scarce ever since Iranian
troops were turned back by a Rus
sian commander southeast of Zen
jan.
The official Russian explanation
for net permitting government
troops to enter the Soviet-occupied
territory was that such a move
might cause unnecessary bloodshed
A prominent member of the
Iranian Parliament, who would not
permit the use of his name, said
Tuesday that the government gar
rison at Tabriz could not hold the
city more than two weeks without

Deficiency Bill
Senote Action Today
Depends on Disposal
Of Fund Measure
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

Immediate consideration Of
the Federal pay bill was delayed
today as the Senate temporarily
sidetracked the measure and
took up the first deficiency ap-
preparation bill of 1916.
Chairman Downey of the Senate
Civil Service Committee, sponsor of
the pay measure, said he hoped the
deficiency bill would be disposed of
sometime this afternoon so the
Senate could take final action on
his measure before recessing to-
night for the week end.
Senator Downey expressed fear
that if the pay bill is not taken up
today consideration of the meas
ure might have to be delayed until
after the first OF the year because
of lack of quorum. The Califor-
nian said many of the Senators
would leave for their homes this
week end for the holidays.
Hopes for Action Today.
Senator Downey said he would
put forth every effort" to have
final action taken on his measure
today, but added that it all de-
pended on how swiftly the def
cheney bill was disposed of.

neuvering among Senators support
ing conflicting wage increase pro-
posals, and group of Republican
members attempting to have the bill
recommitted. Action has not yet

favorably reported bill for fiat 20
per cent basic wage increase for

percentage boost of 173 per cent.

Patton Out Of Danger,
Doctor Says; May Face

Condition Is Excellent,
Col. Squirting Declares;
Trumun Sends MESSAGE
Ey the Associated Press.

HEIDELBERG, Dec. 14.-Col
r. Glen Squirting, chief specialist
attending Gen. George 8. Patton,
jr., said today the American
commander was "out of danger
of death, but there was posi-
bility that he never would be
able to command troops again.
He described Gen. Patton's condi-
ton as touch-and-go affair. He
said the general might recover fully
from the broken neck he received in
an automobile crash last Sunday,
but again he might be partly par
alyzed for life.
Col. Squirting said it would be
impossible to forecast the effects of
Gen Patton's injuries for at least
three or four weeks.
This mornings medical bulletin
said Gen. Patton's condition was
excellent.
Col. Squirting, who was flown to
Heidelberg from Washington with
Mrs. Patton, said the general is un-
able to move his hands or legs VOL
unfairly, but is able to move his
shoulders. There is a small amount
Of movement in his right upper arm.
Neck Brace to Be Fitted.
Gen. Patton will be in a traction
apparatus for several weeks and
then will be fitted with a neck brace
or collar support, Col. Squirting said.
las soon as his condition per-
mits, he will be moved back to the
United States for disqualification, -
the doctor said. THAT probably
will be within the next four to six
weeks. He'll 60 by air"
Explaining that the injury to the
spinal cord cannot yet be deter
mined, Col. Squirting said doctors
might have to wait six months tc
know definitely whether Gen. Pat
ton would regain full control of his
arms and legs.

consisted of three scrambled eggs

until the hearings are recessed for

Other members of the legal staff
are Gerhard Gesell, chief assistant
counsel, and julie M. Hannaford and
John Masten, assistant counsel.
Only Eight Finish Testimony.
The original Barkley resolution
called for completion of the hear
ings and the filing of a report by
January 8. The chairman conceded
today both Houses would have to be
asked to extend the time after Mr..
Mitchell had pointed out in his
statement that, after a month of
hearings, only eight witnesses have
finished their testimony.
The surprise move of the legal
staff overshadoWed two new VOL
umes of detailed information, gath
cred during separate Navy inves-
tlgation last year, now made public
for the first time.
Included in this data was evi-
dence that Rear Admiral Husband
E. Kimmel, retired former Pacific
Fleet commander, believed seven
weeks before December 7, 1941, that
war might be preceded by a sur
prise attack on ships in Pearl
Harbor.
From the start the hearings have
been marked by periodic clashes
between counsel and some of the
Republican committee members
over the gathering and presentation
OF exhibits.
Early in the hearings several of
the Republicans complained that
documents were being presented
without sufficient advance notice to
committee members to enable them
to cross-examine. On several oc-
casions Senator Ferguson, Repub-
1ican, of Michigan has objected to
Interruptions by counsel while he
was examining witnesses.
Democrats Praise Mitchell.
Five Of the six Democrats on
the committee took turns today in
praising Mr.. Mitchell and his aides,
and expressing regret at their deci-
sion.
Senator George. Democrat, of
Georgia, said he accepted appoint
ment to the committee because
of the assistance he expected from
Mr.. Mitchell, in whom he had COM
plete confidence to lay out the
case in a way that would bring
out all the facts. Then the Georgian
made this pointed comment on the
slow pace fne hearings have taken:
"Of course, recognize the right
OF members to ross-examine at
length, but have wondered if we
were not confusing the issue, rather
than arriving at any conclusions in
