The vote last night climaxed three

The issue was decided on straight

In calling of the strike. Mr.. Lewis
told the miners to work only until
March 81, It Is believed another
strike would take place at that time
unless agreements with the oper-

early staff on negotiations point out
that to await court and congress
sional action would greatly reduce
the time in which agreements could
be reached.
Southern operators also favor
abandonment of Nation wide bar

1ieve they could make a better deal

statement of American policy to-
ward China, but Communist spokes-
man Wang Ping man said "true
peace in China would help the
establishment Of peace throughout

THE immediate task is to put an
END to the gruesone civil war;" he
said. IF the United States wants
to help on that score, it must DEM

He refused to say whether the

By Iranian Troops in
Azerbaijjan Province
BY Eddy Gilmore

Assoeiofsd Press Foreign Correspondent
MOSCOW, Dec. ia Tass
dispatch from Tabriz asserted
today that Iranian government
troops had slain hundreds of
persons in Azerbaijan province
in the last few days and had
connived in attacks on Soviet
institutions and citizens.
In Tabriz alone. Tass declared
more than 800 persons have been
killed and 800 arrested by the
troops, who were dispatched to
Azerbaijan for the announced pur-
pose Of maintaining order dusing
the forthcoming parliamentary
elections.
Bandit elements and detach-
ments Of soldiers under Col. Ha-
. shemi in Tabriz have been brutally
mobbing democratic elements for
several days, arresting hundreds OF
persons and shooting them on the
spot" the dispatch said.
Bodies of hundreds of democrats
/. are lying everywhere on the streets
: of the city. The building of the
Central Committee of the Azerbai-
. jan Democratic Party, editorial Of
: fees of local newspapers, the Ma
: tional Museum and other cultural
: institutions of Azerbaijan have been
! smashed"
The dispatch added that "incited
. by elements hostile to the Soviet
Union and under the protection OF
, Col. Hashemi, bandits have broken
loose, also attacking Soviet institu-
. tons and Soviet citizens in Tabriz." /"
This was the first major charge to
be- made by Moscow against the
. central government of Iran since the
. Soviet supported semiautonornous
provincial government in Azerbaijan
!. agreed last week to permit central
: government troops to enter the
provinceNafter a short-lived civil
WARRIOR the purpose of supervising
. elections.
Premier Ahmed Qavam said in
Teheran yesterday he hoped the
parliamentary elections could begin
Sunday. At the same time, he said
! in an interview that he intended to
keep his promise to Russia to sub
NIT to Parliament proposal for
Soviet oil concessions in Trans five
northern provinces, including Aver
baijan.
The Moscow broadcast charged
that the central government troops
by their acts had broken Premier
Qavam's promise to enter Azerbat-
jan peaceably.
The Azerbaijan regimes resist
ance to the entry of central gov
ernment troops collapsed December
II in the second day of fighting,
as four columns of government
troops advanced into the province.
The troops entered Tabriz Decem-
ber 13 to find the Azerbaijan regime
collapsed and its leaders in flight.
A committee of Azerbaijanis who
fled the province during that regime,
under pro- Russian Jafar Pishevari,
sent telegram from Teheran yes
terday to Prime Minister Stain
thanking him for Russian forbear-
ance during the brief civil conflict
last week and praising the peace
full and friendly policy of our neigh
boring country"

town Washington, 100000 strong,
every night, according to the Audu-
bon Society of the District.
I. r. Barnes of the society reported
that the birds, which often are mis-
taken for starlings, come to roost
in the sycamore trees along Penn
sylvania avenue between Tenth and
Sixth streets NV. about an hour
before dusk.
Most persons who have witnessed
the nightly spectacle" he said, have
mistaken the martins for starlings."
The martins. when they arrive
over the roost, circle in a great high
funnel, the lower birds falling like
leaves to take up their uneasy roosts
in the trees
THE starlings approach at lower
saltitudes, in closely packed f1ocks,
to take up their positions while it is
still light. Purple martin arrive
later, settling into the trees only to
start up and circle through the
trees when disturbed by loud street
noises"
The purple martins, Mr.. Barnes
explained may be distinguished from
other swallows by their large size
and pronounced notched tail. They
may be distinguished from starlings
by their Simmer, longer bodies and
long pointed wings.
