BYRNES BACKS REPORT
OF TROOP MOVEMENTS

WASHINGTON, March IS. -{P)-
Secretary Byrnes Friday backed
up State department reports on So
Wet troop movements in Iran with
the assertion that they had come
from reliable sources and,- in some
cases, from American representa-
tives. 49,.
He made the statement at a news
conference at which he declined
to confirm or deny reports that
Ambassador Wallace Murray had
told the Iranian government the
United States is supporting Iran in
opposing Russian activities.
(In London the Daily Telegraph
printed Tehran dispatch Friday
saying that ''in the past several
days United States Ambassador
Wallace Murray has seen the Shah
several times and gave him the
United States government assur-
ances that Persia's cause would be
defended by them.")

mated against smallpox early IN
infancy and should be re-yaccinat-
ed on entering school" DR. Man
ming said III all children in the

munization against such childhood
diseases as diphtheria and whoop-
ing cough there would be few
deaths as the result of these in
fections."
I'm Arizona in 1916 there were
"a deaths from whooping cough

eases can be prevented by the
simple procedure OF immunization
there is no reason for any parent
TO neglect protecting the health
and life OF his child"
II was stated that immunization
against smallpox VIII protect the
child, or adult. for a considerable
period of time, and that immuni-
zation against diphtheria secures
immunity which can be increased
