Iran Rightist Deputy
Asks Intervention by
III. n. for Fair Ballot
By the Assoeio.sd Press

TEHERAN, April ia right
wing deputy declared today that
Iran could be assured of fair
election only through United
Nations Intervention, while a
Tudeh Leftist) party leader
threatened vigorous action" to
suppress alleged terrorism
against Tudeh followers in out
lying provinces.
Premier Ahmed Qavam has
promised to call elections for a new
Parliament Immediately after Rus
sian troops complete their with
drawal from Iran. The deadline for
the evacuation under the Soviet
Iranian agreement is May 6.
Meanwhile, a government official
said no reports had been received Of
Soviet troops actually leaving North
western Azerbaijan Province, but
that some barracks had been vacated
by the Russians in the provincial
capital OF Tabriz and occupied by
A7erbaijan troops.
Hope for Fair Election.
The desire for United Nations in
tervention in the election was ex-
pressed by right-wing deputy who
had served in the Parliament which
expired March IL. Returning from
the Iraq border region, where he had
been since the arrest of rightist
leader Zia Ed-Din Tabatabi, he said:
"Our only hope for a fair election
Is in Intervention by the United Ma
tions. The central government is
Influenced by the Russians, and the
Tudeh party will seat the candidates
1T wants. Frankly, most right-wing
leaders are afraid to announce for
seats"
At a holiday rally here yesterday
Tudeh party leader declared "out-
law bands" in Mazanderan, Gilan
and Khorsan provinces, recently
evacuated by the Russians, ARE
terrorizing and torturing Tudeh
members. If the central govern
ment does not intervene we must
take vigorous action ourselves"
One party member was stabbed
to death and his brother severely
wounded outside the Tudeh club
in Teheran. Party leaders said the
fight was the outcome of "a per-
sonal feud between the brothers
and two men who attacked them"
Kurds Have Ceased Attacks.
A wealthy Kurdish merchant ar
irving today from Saujbulagh
(Mahabad), capital of the so-called
independent Kurdish republic"
said the Kurds had ceased their
attacks against Iranian troops,
pending negotiations, but that the
Kurds were under arms from Maku
to Saujbulagh."
He said Ghazi Mohammed. Kurd-
ish leader, had conferred with Jaear
Pishevari, premier Of the autono-
nous Azerbaijan government, at
Tabriz and had sent emissaries to
meet Iranian officers at Saqqiz.
The merchant said conferences
between representatives OF the CEN
trail government, the Kurds and
Azerbaijanians had not yet taken
place. There were reports here
the last week that such a meeting
was under way near Karaj.

were killed and 20 were wounded
i'll riots that started here yester-
day afternoon and did not end
till this morning between two
factions in a primary election.
What was called the court
house faction sWore in 200 dep
uty sheriffs for the avowed pur-
pose to see that the voting was
conducted in orderly fashion. But
it turned out, as was charged by
the opposing faction, composed
largely of veterans of World War
II, that the deputies were engag-
ed, for the sole purpose Of inti1n-
idating voters who were against
the courthouse clique.
The first trouble started when
deputies attempted to throw out
CT watchers at a poll. A fight
started, and while it was going on
similar assaults were made by
deputies at other polls. Before
long there was general fighting,
with the GIs and their adherents
on one side and the deputies on
the other.
Groups of the deputies were
dispersed, after the had at
temped to make off with ballot
boxes, but rs of them ran to the
jail where they barricaded them
selves.
For six hours the deputies and
tbs. us, who Used i0lal G. =
rifles and pistols, kept up an
almost constant fire. Toward the
end Of that time, the CT beganto
throw dynamite bombs into the
jail. and the fiiisanition pf the,
! deputies was almost dnpletBfl; il
The first bomb killed a deputy
/ and injured six aud tie second
bomb killed another depaty and
injured eight others.
Courthouse adherents had tried
to telephone to the governor to
send out guardsmen to restore
order, but the els had anticipated
such move and had cut all tele-
phone wires. In some way, the Is
deputies in the JAIL who had
held out, hoping every moment
for the arrival of the guardsmen,
heard that the wires had been
cut, A few minutes later the dep
uties streamed out of the Jail with
their hands up.
Several Of them were beaten
as they tried TO evade the infuri-
gated els. One of them was
knocked down and pulled up and
knocked down again, half a dozen
times, till leaders among the GIs
rescued him.
The courthouse faction shortly
Eafterward conceded the nomina-
ton of the CT candidates.

mary, Senate, Kenneth Mcclellan
