said today they were doing every
thing possible" to check up on the
purchasers of new cars in an effort
to prevent black marketing activities.

resell the automobile at a high
profit

the country were having trouble with
black market purchasers, but that
the trade associations in the larger
cities were making an effort to curb
the activities.

Iran AT Peace Since 1874
Puts On War OF Its Own
BY JOSEPH C. GOODWIN

APP NewSfeatures
TEHRAN. - When Azerbaijan
pulled its autonomy coup and
modified $4,000 men against the
central government it only add
ed one more to the half dozen
or so independent military forces
which for years have engaged in
sporadic lead tossing in these
parts.
Even though Iran has not
fought an international war since
1914 it always has been a nation
abristle with arms and armies.
Because the Aberbaijan move
ment was billed as Soviet sup
ported" and the western powers
saw it as a Russian bid for Per-
sian oil and Persian warm water
ports, its army - though not so
formidable as others - received
most of the publicity.
Lesser Known Forces
Just take a look at some of
the tribal fighting machines:
The KaShgais, who centuries
ago followed their herds out of
the Turkoman country in central
Asia, deploy forty thousand
armed horsemen during their an
nual migration from the gulf to
the mountains around Shiraz.
They take little back talk from
anyone, especially the 75,000-man
Iranian national army.
Farther west the Baktyaris and
allied tribesmen pack another
armed punch. Approximately 3d.
900 rifles guard their spring mi
grafton and spearhead hungry
herds invading lush grasslands.
Some of their warriors guard
British oil pipelines.
Among smaller outfits the FOL
fagharis hold the spotlight. Two
thousand villagers led and fed

/ see where the Army is going

convert ammunition plants into
fertilizer factories. The fertilizer
will be for Germany and Japan
and far away places SO, day by
day a new idea is cooked up that
keeps our VISA. nose to the

And when the foreign countries
get up steam via our fertilizer
and start raising excess crops
they will under-sell and take
away the U.S.A. farmers market.
A fine kettle of fish it will be

Sounds kinda goofy, says

they just tear down the powder
and dynamite plants and sell the
lumber and pipes-everybody is
dying to build house, but can't.
Henry, | says, if they tear down
the plants, where will the 2 mil
