'Q-Ship' Will Return
To Drab Pre-War Job

SAN FRANCISCO, March 30-[P)
The USS Anacapa which served
as lure for enemy submarines
will return to her drab pre-war job
as coastwise lumber ship, the
Navy reported today in disclosing
another war time secret.
Known as a "Q-Ship':, the YES
sci was camouflaged in 1912 as a
defenseless merchant ship. Enemy
submarines on an extended patrol
prefer to destroy such ships with
deck guns, rather than waste a
precious torpedo.
Camouflage extended even to Of
ficers and men dressed as merch-
ant seamen, who simulated panic
when a general alarm occurred.
Meanwhile, the remainder of the
Q-ship's crew lay waiting at guns
hidden behind quick opening hull
plates or colapsible deck houses
for the sub 10 surface.

Lewis, in serving notice he would

officials in Tehran, received the
fullest backing today from Iranian
Premier Ahmad Ghavam Es-Sul-
taneh.
Ghavam told Sam Souki, United
Press Tehran correspondent:
Gala enjoys my full confidence.
He was informed of the Moscow
talks between Soviet leaders and
myself and the statements he made
before the Security Council were
in accordance with these talks. Had
Ala not my fullest confidence he
would not be our ambassador at
Washington. Neither would he
represent our country at the Secur-
lily Council"
Only a few hours before Iranlan
sources in Tehran reported that
Ghavam had warned Ala not to
emphasize the 'urgency'' of Trans
complaint against Russia or to de-
mand immediate council discus
sion. Prince Mozaffar Firouz, off
cial Tehran spokesman, had said
that Ala Exaggerated the situation
due to his patriotism.
There was no reason that Iran S
reply would be at the council table
by IL am. Wednesday after its
dispatch to UNO Secretary-Genera
Trygve Lie who at the council S
order forwarded the n q u y
through Ala and Gromyko.
There seemed some reason, how
ever. to doubt whether Russia
would reply. That was admittedly
purely speculative.
Soviet circles were openly critical
of Byrnes. They accused him OF
not being interested in an early
direct Russian-Iranian agreement.
Moscow was as silent as the Rus
slams here. But in that connection
it was learned that Lieut.. Gen.
Walter Bedell Smith, new American
ambassador, was thoroughly brief
ed in the Iranian crisis before he
arrived in M scow Thursday.
Further he is being kept advised
urgently Of all developments and
would be able at any time to talk
to Premier Josef Stain or Foreign
Minister Viacheslav Molotov if they
summoned him.
When Smith arrived. Moscow
radio said he had a message to
Stain from Mr.. Truman. 1t is nor
NAL for a new ambassador to carry
formal message but Moscow
seemed to realize that this was
more than q normal one.
Council delegates generally, tired
after the strain of five days of
crisis conferences, relaxed for the
weekend.
The security councils next step
was an open question, especially
because of the possibility Russia
might not reply to its inquiry In
the manner hoped for.
Distinguished DR.. Francisco Cas-
tillo Najera, Mexico's Chief Dele
gate and Foreign Minister, said to-
day:
PRUSSIA has announced her faith
in the UNO and her desire to CO.
operate in a satisfactory and just
settlement of her dispute with
Iran. We must assume good will
exists and hence we must suppose
that Russia as we'll as Iran will
reply by the date fixed"
If Russia does not, he council
may decide to 60 ahead and let
Iran complete its charges against
the Soviet Union-unless Tehran
calls off Hussein Ala. In any event,
as of today the Russian boycott
of council discussions until April
10 persisted.

''It was there that I really learn
ed to respect the British method of
fighting" said Captain Stine. 1--WE
managed to hold the Germans off
for four days, but if it hadn't been
for the British massed artillery fire,
we couldn't have held them off for
two. We lost, in one hour and half,
ten tanks, three officers and thirty
seven men. We couldn't have stood
much of that - but the British used
Montgomery's massed artillery
system that he had perfected at Ell
Alamein = and believe me it was
more artillery than any Of us had
ever seen. We got along fine with
the British"
Sergeant Stine was discharged
