|Azerbaiijjan Reported
Erecting Barriers 10
Iran troops March
BY III. Associated Press

TEHERAN, Nov. 28.-The Aver
baijan provincial government,
apparently on the verge OF reas-
serting its independence, was
reported today to be erecting
fortifications in the path of
Iranian government troops dis
patched from Teheran to super
wise elections in that northern
state.
The Telaeran newspaper Etelaat
reported that Azerbaijan forces were
hastily building defense works near
the Azerbaijan frontier about IS
miles north of Zenjan, from which
Iranian troops yesterday were said
to be advancing toward the border.
The reports followed a radio
broadcast from Tabriz, AZerbaijan
capital, declaring that the troop
movement had violated agreements
between the provincial and central
governments and that Azerbaijan
now considered these agreements
mil and cancelled.
Premier Answers Broadcast.
Premier Ahmed Qavam replied to
the broadcast by dispatching mes
sage to DR.. Salamollah Javid, gov
ernor general of Azerbaijan prov
ince, reaffirming his intention OF
sending security forces to sAzerbai-
jan to maintain order during the
coming national elections.
IF the movement of these forces
is faced with any obstacles 1t will
influence my good will and response
bility as well as the elections" Pre-
mier Qayam said. He reminded DR..
Javid that it was his duty to pre-
vent any disorders or harmful prop
aganda in Azerbaijan and added:
THE Tabriz radio broadcast and
statements made by irresponsible
persons will surely delay the elec-
tions and raise other difficulties
Premier Qavam sent similar
message to the Kurdish leader,
Ghazi Mohammed, asking him how
he intended to cooperate with Sc
curity forces being dispatched to
Kurdish districts in connection with
the elections.
Two Telegraphers Arrested.
Etelaat's Zenjan correspondent,
meanwhile, reported the arrest
there of two telegraph operators on
charges of giving the Azerbaijan
government information on secret
messages of the Iranian army.
Azerbaijan proclaimed its inde-
pendence of the central government
in Teneran a year ago, but after
prolonged negotiations which gave
the province a measure of home
rule agreed to recognize the author
ity of Teheran. 1t is this agree
ment which the Tabriz radio says
Premier Qavam has Cancelled"

FARM EXPERIMENT:
Dropped by Ford

In line with it's announced policy
of abandoning activities not directly
connected with the manufacture of
automobiles, the Ford Motor COM
pany will dispose of 10000 acres of
farmland in Michigan originally ac-
quired for experimenting in the
adaptation of agricultural products
to industrial use.
The company also decided to give
up the model school project organ
ized for the communities surround
ing the huge land holdings. One
room schools were remodeled, kim
dergartens opened for three and
four-year-olds, and studies shaped to
permit practical application of text
book teachings.
Under the new policy pushed by
Henry Ford II, the company will not
resume manufacture of some of it's
own tires and a tugboat used for
Ford piers on the Detroit river has
been sold. Operated by a founda-
ton separate from the company, the
Ford museum and Greenfield viii
lage will not be affected.

WORLD RELATIONS:
AtOnp-Russ

Even as the United Nations Or
ganization's security council strove
to compose differences with Russia
over the Iranian question, the U. S.
state department issued a special
report calling for the creation of an
international agency to control all
phases of atomic energy and avert
atomic rivalry among the major
powers.
Written by a distinguished board
of scientists and technicians the re-
port recommended the establish
ment of an atomic development au-
thority that would own and lease
property and conduct mining, manu-
featuring, research, licensing, in
spection or other operations. While
the authority would possess absolute
control over the production of atom
ic weapons, it would permit utiliza-
ton of atomic energy in such civilian
fields as medicine, biology, chemis-
try and physics.

United Nations authority as plans
progressed for its development. Re-
lease of preliminary information
necessary to discussion Of setting up
the agency would be followed by
revelation of industrial know-how in

In releasing the report, Secretary
Of State Byrnes pointed out that the
recommendations did not consti-
tute official U. S. policy but could
be considered as a basis for dis
cussion of the creation Of an inter-
national atomic authority.
Meanwhile, the security council
worked on means to adjust the diff
ficult situation posed by Russia's
walkout in protest over UNO's consid-
Grafton of Trans complaint against
the Soviets for failure to withdraw
Red troops from the country. While
Russia's withdrawal from the delib-
erations jolted UNO, the Soviets
were quick to explain that their ac-
ton did not mean they were with
drawing from the United Nations,
but rather objecting to security coun-

GERMAN ASSETS:
Uncovered in. Spain

Enjoying the cooperation OF the
Franco government, the u. S. and
Britain, acting for the Allied con-
troll council, have uncovered more
than 100 million dollars in German
assets in Spain and taken possession
as the ruling force of the vanquished
reich.
Included in the assets are con-
trolling shares in extensive holding
companies; 80 ships and other facil-
tiles of three shipping companies,
100 buildings; gold worth 81, ,125, 600;
German paintings used for propa-
ganda purposes, and huge stock
of champagne which was to be sold
to obtain foreign exchange.
Discovery of stock of the Socie-

control over a far-flung holding
company comprising II corpora

Of the Spanish civil war to supply
goods and munitions to Franco, the
holding company was supported by
the Nazis.
Among the German businesses

LABOR FRONT:
Farm Machinery Tie-Up

Government seizure OF SIrlKe-
/ bound farm machinery plants ap-
peared as the remaining alternative
as negotiations between companies
and union begged down and equip
ment was badly needed for the
maintenance Of high crop produc-
ton to meet domestic and foreign
demands.
AS the government pondered TAX
ing over the plants, the Information
al Harvester company continued to
resist the CIO-Farm Equipment
Workers demands for union security,
maintenance Of membership, dues
checkoff, arbitration and methods
for settling grievances. Both COM
pany and union agreed to a govern
ment fact-fnding recommendation
for an 18-cent an hour wage in
crease. (
In addition to 10000 workers in II
International Harvester plants, 49,
500 employees in six plants Of Allis-
Chalmers and ]. I. Case remained
out over contract differences.
Coal Snag
While the government kept one
eye on the farm machinery situa-
ton, 1t trained another on the coal
industry, where parleys between
John L. Lewis United Mine Work
ers and the operators sagged over
the UNIV chieftain's demands for
the creation of a health and well
fare fund.
Dropped last year during the bar
gaining over new contract, the
health and welfare fund issue was
raised again this year by Lewis, who
gave it No. ! position on the nego-
tiating agenda. Asserting that it
would cost them $50, 900 annual
ly, the operators proposed the crea-
tion of a joint committee to study
an accident compensation plan as
an alternative.
AS a walkout in the industry
loomed, the government prepared
to control the shipment of an esti-
mated 100000 tons Of bituminous
coal above ground. Steel spokes-
men said a miners walkout might
result in the restriction Of produc-
tion within two weeks.
Ne1U UAW Chief
A concerted drive to organize the
white collar workers in the automo-
bile industry loomed with the cleo
ton of fiery, red-haired Walter Reu-
ther as the new CIO-United Auto
mobile Workers president. Avowed
foe of the communist faction within
the UAW, Reuther thwarted the
reelection hopes of r. J. Thomas,
head of the union since 1888, who
enjoyed leftist support.
In winning. the presidency of the
biggest union in the world, Reuther
announced the organization of the
white collar workers in the indus
try as one of his No. goals. He
also said an educational program
would be undertaken to interest the
membership in union activity and
the UAW would strive for industry
wide instead of company-wide bar
gaining to correct wage and work
| ing inequalities between plants.
The stormy petrol of the UAW,
! and head of the unions General Mo-
tors division, Reuther is 80 and des-
tined for major leadership in the
American labor movement. Fired
from the tool department of the
Ford Motor company for union ac-
tivity in 1888, he organized an AFL
local in the plant in 1885 and then
led his men into the CIO in 1888.

Zionisfs Wary
OF Russians

For years, contending European
nations have battled for the friend
ship and support of the Arabs. This
struggle was intensified when, long
before World War I, the Germans
started their "drang mach Osten"
and the British heightened their ef-
forts to placate the Arabs in order
to protect their empires life-lines
and to prevent spread of dis
affection to the Moslems of India.
Now Russia steps into the pic
ture. Reports from Baghdad
tell us of the spread of commu-
nistic sympathies throughout
the Middle East. And the Jews
Of Palestine find their troubles
increasing.
The announcement Of Britain's
granting Of independence to Trans
Jordania heightened Zionist resent
ment, for Trans-Jordania is a part
Of Greater Palestine and was sup
posed to be included in the territory
allotted to the National Jewish
home.
The Zionists claim the British ac-
ton is part Of a scheme to prevent
the United Nations from creating
trusteeship of Greater Palestine
which would include TRANSIT Jordania,
as the old League of Nations man.
date did. They also make the
charge that the purpose is ''to
thwart Jewish rights by bolstering
pro-Axis forces"
The Zionists feel too that Russia
is playing a similar game. They
point out the inconsistency of MAX
ing friends with the Arabs, whose
party leader in Palestine, Jamal
Husseini, is calling for the reinstate-
ment of the Grand Multi, Hitler
collaboration.
In his testimony before the Brit
ish-American inquiry committee
Husseini said: Germany was not
our enemy and therefore we had
no interest in the war;" adding:
"I've read somewhere that 1t was
a Jewish war;"
The Zionists believe they have dis
covered an additional reason for
Russian animosity toward their
efforts in Palestine. Like most Of
the causes of racial and other rue
tions, it is fear. They say that the
Soviets are afraid that If the Pales-
tine colony becomes a success it
win prove an entering wedge for
western capitalism in the Near
East. There is really nothing in
common between the feudalist, un-
progressive Arab world and the eco
nomic and social principles repre-
sented by the Soviet system. The
Arabs can't do the Soviets any harm
but they could be used, the Zionists
say, to hamstring what might be-
come a live and up-and-coming
Jewish nation inbued with capital
istic ideas, operating too close for
communistic comfort.

German Radio Takes
New Tone Under u. 5.

Nesvs ANALYST and Commentator.

in America, were banned up until
December Of last year. However,
reactions are coming In now, as the
led conducts many secret radio
polls-employing the methods OF
polltakers in this country. The sur
veys which saw indicated that,
on the whole, the programs are pop
ular with the Germans-with GER
tain reservations.
Take factual world news, for
example. Germans are anxious
to hear this, but they don't al
ways understand 1t. For IL
years they have been taught to
be suspicious Of all news. And
yet, in spite Of this skepticism,
they are so saturated with the
propaganda idea that in some
cases they don't like facts.
This came out in a conference
with teenagers who said they pre-
ferred the Russian broadcasts to
ours. Asked why, they said there
was too much propaganda in ours.
I went over this answer with one
of the psychological experts. He
explained it this way: straight news
without comment forces the listen
er to think for himself. This dis
turbs the German teenager, and he
blames the program, calling it
propaganda"
English grammar lessons far out
run American music as radio favor
ties in Germany. All Germans want
to learn English. This desire seems
to stem from the long-range hope
that some day Americas gates will
be open, and from the opportunistic
feeling that the conquered can get
along better with the conqueror If
they're both talking the same Ian
guage.
