Fuit AccompIi in iran

1ue QlplOIuaUlC CrlSlS over iran
seems to have about reached the
showdown stage. Radio MoscoW's
announcement that new national
government" had been established
in Iranian Azerbaijan, timed as it
was to coincide with the arrivals of
Secretary Byrnes and Foreign Min
lister Bevin in the Russian capital, is
generally interpreted as a virtual
shutout move by Soviet diplomacy
to present American and Britain
with what the French call a "fait
accomplish plain English. an ac-
complished fact which is not to be
undone or interfered with
This uncompromising Russian ges-
ture is the logical elimination of
an aggressively unilateral policy by
which, under cover of pretexts which
were obviously specious, Moscow has
fomented separatist movement in
Azerbaiian, the Iranian border prov
ince adjacent to Russian Transcau-
casia. forbidding the central gov
ernment of Iran to do anything to
restore its authority. The character
of the new national government"
OF Azerbaijan is revealed by the fact
that it is headed by a veteran Rus
sian agent who fled his native Iran
a quarter century ago for pro-Rus-
sian intrigues and has lived ever
since in the Soviet Union. The new
regime is obviously a mere front"
for the Russian military occupa-
tional authorities and will do what
ever Moscow dictates.
All this has occurred despite strong
and repeated diplomatic protests
from both Washington and London.
1t is not happy sign that the For
eign Ministers Conference in Moscow
opens on so inauspicious note as
virtual Soviet defiance of it's west
ern associates and fragrant viola
ton of the sovereign rights of Iran,
charter member of the United
Nations, to say nothing Of an equally
fragrant violation of pledges to re-
spect Trans independence and in
tegrity made jointly by the executive
heads of America. Britain and the
Soviet Union at their conference two
years ago in Teheran, the Iranian
capital.
The gravity of the situation is en-
hanced by its wider implications.
Moscow has been putting Turkey
under similar aggressive diplomatic
pressure, demanding. among other
things, the cesSion of border districts
of Asiatic Turkey just west of Azer-
sbaijan. Iran is nilitarily1 helpless,
but Turkey is not, and avows an in
tention to resist any Russian aggres-
sion by force. The consequences
of an unprovoked Russian aggress-
sion on Turkey. likewise charter
member of the United Nations might
be catastrophe. Lastly. Azerbaijan
f1anks Northern Iraq, with its i'm
mensely rich Mosul-Kirkuk oilfields
which lie near the Azerbaijan
border.
In the light of all this. Washing
ton and London may well consider
whether it is not better to make a
determined stand on this first test
of basic principles, rather than COM
promise them as part of an zap
peasement" policy which would have
no moral foundation and no limits
save those imposed by naked force.

revere him more or less as a divinity
In any event, considering the fact
that some of his closest advisers
have been singled out for trial and
that the Nuremberg principle holds
heads of states accountable for
aggressive war, Hirohito's position
daily becomes more and more shaky.

Doubts Subways Value

TO the Editor OF The Star:
To justify the expenditure of $685.
100000 (the cost of constructing the
subways proposed by the consultants
employed by the District Commission
erO material benefits should accrue to
both transit riders and motorists. Nei-
ther Of these, however, would gain ap-
preciably from the subway plan OF
the consultants or from any short SUBJ
way or underpass plan for the down.
town area. 1t repeatedly has been
pointed out land this can be sustained
by the most simple mathematics and
logic that the average street car rider
will save less than minutes trip
by subways no longer than those sug-
gested. Furthermore, under no subway
plan would it be possible to accommo-
date an additional $500 automobiles
an hour on the streets in the central
area. Considering the expenditures
that would be needed for additional
parking and street space to take care
of these extra motorists who would be
able to use the downtown streets fol-
lowing the completion of the subway,
$56,0O0,0OO would be only the initial out
lay under the proposed plan. For these
insignificant gains the taxpayers and
the transit riders would have to pay
high price in the form of increased
taxes andior fares to amortize this un-
economical project.
1t therefore is imperative because of
the opnoreyt deficinncjes II, tho oon.
sultants' plan that full consideration
and publicity be given to all other pro-
posals and programs for solving Wash
ington's transportation problems

Central Authority
For Security Council
Demanded by Evatt

SAN FRANCISCO, May l4.-Her-
bert v. Eyatt, Australian Foreign
Minister, today expressed his oppo-
sition to any proposal that would
permit regional security systems,
such as the inter- American, to act
independently of the proposed in
ternational organization.
In a statement distributed to cor
respondents, Mr.. Evatt warned that
unless the authority of the World
Security Council Is maintained. PAN
Americanism may develop into a
form of isolationism which is CAL
culated to destroy the world organ
ization at its birth"
He strongly defended the Dunn
barton Oaks plan for lodging CEN
tral authority to settle disputes lin
the Security Council.
Seeks Veto Power Change.
However, he pointed out that Aus
tralia Is seeking to change the veto
power Of the Big Five in the council
so none of them could "paralyze ac-
ton by the Security Council and
strengthen the hand of isolate
ism"
MI Evatt declared the authority
OF the world organization and the
Security Council would be lessened
If regional enforcement could take
place before the council itself has
first dealt with the question.
1T would be worse" he added, If
the process were reversed solely to
meet the demands of single region
like the Americas. 1t would be worse.
still, II the veto of great power
situated within region were used
to insulate or isolate that region
from enforcement action by the
world organization through the Sc
cuI'ity Council"
Switch of Votes Noted.
Pan is valuable, "
The Australian asserted, "but unless
the authority of the Security Council
Is maintained, 1t may develop into a
form of isolationism which is calcu-
lated to destroy the world organiza =
ton at its BIRTH
Mr.. Evatt noted the "extraordi-
nary switch OF votes" in a United
Nations Conference Committee last
Saturday when the Latin American
countries withdrew their opposition
TO proposals for enlarging the mem
bership Of the Security Council. Aus
tralla was one of the leaders in seek
ing to have more small nations rep
resented on the council
The press has suggested" Mr..
Evatt said, that this was prelimi-
nary TO an understanding by which
American regionalism will be given
special immunity If this kind of
thing goes on in San Francisco the
world organization will inevitably be
Subverted."

British Press Demands
Doenitz Imprisonment

LONDON, May IA {P).-Sections
Of the British press demanded today
that Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz
and German generals claiming au-
thority in parts of the Reich be
thrown into concentration camps.
Concern was expressed openly
that Nazi leaders and Prussian gen.
erals in Allied hands might create
postwar issue.
The London Evening Star said 1t
Is sheer impertinence" that Doe
nitz and others-specifically Field
Marshal Ernst Busch, who calls
himself commander in the northern
area-claim command of any area
of surrendered Germany. Doenitz
succeeded Hitler as German Fuehrer
while Berlin was falling.
These men should be Gagged up
like prisoners of war" the Star said,
"Doenitz should be transferred i'm
mediately to a concentration camp
for war criminals"
A showdown appeared imminent
on Allied treatment of captured
Nazi leaders and generals.
We have got to watch these Ger
mans, the London Evening News
said, unless we are very careful,
they are going to get away with it
again"
The News called "intolerable" the
Flensburg radio announcement that
Busch had taken over command of
Schleswig- -Holstein areas occupied
by Field Marshal Montgomery's
troops.
The American Army's handling of
Field Marshal Karl Won Rundstedt
and Col. Gen. Heinz Guderain was
being watched closely in this capital.

ton, as represented by the security
council. would be insisted on. and
second, that no clause for the bene-
fit of an individual regional agency
would be accepted. The British.
through Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden, took firm stand along these
lines.
The Chinese are supporting the
American position in the main. The
Russians transmitted the American
proposal to Moscow for instructions.
Mr.. Eden objected to mention of
the Act of Chapultepec on the
ground that it too closely localized
the right of regional collective de-
fense in the Western Hemisphere.
He wanted a similar right for any
regional agencies in other parts of
the world in which British domin-
luis ana pOSSeSSlOflS are situated.

Latin American delegates, who
have taken an advanced position in
the demand for the right of regional
agencies - particularly the inter-
American agency-to act independ-
emily of the security council in the
settlement of international disputes
and actual defense, are coming
around to the position of the United
States, it is reported.
Mr.. Eden left here yesterday to
return to England by way of WASH

lee, deputy prime minister. and Miss
Ellen Wilkinson, parliamentary sec
retary to the Ministry of Home
Security. The British Ambassador.

points and in the confident hope
that the work of the conference is

Quiet Boom Reported
By Friends Of Gillette
To Give Him REA Post
b the Associated Press.

-! tne Associated Press.
A quiet boom for Guy M. Gill
lette to be rural electrification ad-
ministrator is under way among
Capitol Hill friends of the former
Iowa Democratic Senator.
Mr.. Gillette is chairman of the
Surplus Property Board which has
the job OF disposing OF billions of
dollars worth of unneeded war goods
and plants.
His friends believe he would well
come an opportunity, however, to
get into a field of aid to farmers.
Coming from a big farm State,
MIR. Gillette took a particular in
terest in agricultural matters as a
Senator.
The REA job carries a 10-year
term at $4,000 a year, the same
salary as the Surplus Property
Board craftsmanship.
The only other name getting much
attention in Capital speculation
about REA is that of w. J. Neal,
deputy administrator and acting
head Of the agency since Harry Slat-
terry resigned last December /.
President Roosevelt nominated Au-
brey Williams for the post, but the
Senate refused to confirm him.
Some Senators expressed belief
that President Truman probably
would withhold a nomination until
Congress completes action on legis-
lstion to remove REA from the Agri-
culture Department and give 1t
s600,000,000 of additional lending
power. 1t already has lent more
than s500.0O0,OO0 to finance con-
struction of rural electric lines,
This measure comes up in the
Senate today and indications are it
will be approved without contro-
versy. The provision to take REA
from Agriculture and make it an in
dependent agency was opposed in
the Agriculture Committee by
stanch administration supporters
Subsequently, however, the White
House was reported to have sent
word that there was no objection
there to the provision.

Carter Oil Company's wildcat on
the Fox-Luther structure a few
miles northwest of Red Lodge this
week qualified for honors as the
second deepest well ever drilled in
the state, with hole made past $500
feet.
Record for the states deepest hole
is still held by Carter. based on a
well drilled several years ago on
the Baker lendive anticline that
went to 9.678 feet and that got good
shows in the Ordovician.
The wildcat on the Fox-I luther
dome is drilling on mountain-
front wrinkle that parallels the
mountains in line running roughly
through the Elk Basin and Dry
Creek fields.
