Britain Warns
|0fArmed Action
Alone in Iran
Consulting With U. N.
For Protection of Life
Is Held Unnecessary
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Aug. "a Foreign
Office spokesman said today that
If any violent or sudden" threat
to British lives or property took
place in Iran, Britain would not
be obliged to consult the United
Nations Security Council but
would feel justified in taking
"unilateral action"
The government of Iran an
nounced yesterday that it had pro-
tested the movement of Indian
troops to Basra, a port in Iraq
at the head of the Persian Gulf
and had requested their removal.
The British government previously
had explained that the troops were
sent from India for replacement
of other troops stationed near the
Anglo-Iranian Oil fields in adjoin-
ing Southern Iran. The first an
nouncement of the troop movement,
which came from the Indian gov
ernment, said the troops were being
sent in case of any disturbance.
Labor difficulties recently have
plagued operation of the British
owned oil installations.
The spokesman told news con-
ference state of law and order
did not disappear gradually and
there may not be time to consult
the United Nations"
When questioner remarked that
the United Nations Security Coun-
Gil was permanently in session the
spokesman replied, THE Security
Council has no troops"
He said the presence of British
troops at Basra represented a pre-
cautionary measure in the event of
complete collapse of law and order
in Persia"
The spokesman said the Iran note
of protest was not unfriendly in
tone, contained no ultimatum and
-cohtended that the maintenance of
law and order in Iran was the con-
cern and responsibility of the IRAN
ian government.
THAT is our point of view, too,"
the spokesman said.
He said reply to the Iran gov
ernment was being considered.
Britain withdrew her troops from
Iran in March this year in accord
With British h-American- Russian
agreement to pull out their forces
after the end of the war. Troops
of all three nations were sent in
during the war to put down alleged
German intrigue and safeguard the
lease-lend line to Russia.
Russia kept her troops in Azer-
baijan Province in Northern Iran

ing March l that they were remain

8OOStronded on Gambling Ship
By Impounding of Water Toxis
Coast Guard Removes
Appendicitis Victim;
Operator Makes Bail
BY the Associated Pres.


LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9.-Ap-
proximately 300 weary patrons
of chance were stranded aboard
the floating gambling casino
Bunker Hill at an. early hour to-
day, caught in the legal fracas
between Tony Cornero, the op-
orator, and law enforcement
officers.
The Coast Guard cutter Yankton
was dispatched to the Bunker Hill
to remove person reported by radio
to be suffering acute appendicitis.
Transportation to the Bunker Hill
was almost completely cut off last
night when officers halted the water
taxi feet serving the ship. A few
water taxis, not impounded, made
some trips and returned with pa
irons but by early morning only
one of the small boats was operat-
ing. The lone taxi has a capacity of
go passengers and the round trip
takes two hours.
A throng of patrons was lined up
on the Bunker Hills landing plat
form, somewhat bewildered by de-
velopments and hoping for chance
to get home. Others continued to
gamble. There was plenty of food
and the bar was fairly busy. There
was lack of chairs on board and
some doZed standing up.
