speech, but his remarks were so
pointed they left no doubt of their
meaning.
He said the United States had no
proper concern with proposals of
commercial or any other nature
made to Iran by a foreign govern
ment as long as those proposals are
advanced solely on their merits, to
stand or fall on their value to Iran. "
Won't Tolerate Threats.
Then in an apparent reference
to reports that Soviet Ambassador
Sadchikov had threatened Iran with
his country's bitter blood enmity'
unless the oil agreement is ap-
proved, Mr.. Allen continued:
1--WE and every other nation of
the world do become concerned
when such proposals are accom-
| panied by threats of bitter enmity OF
by statements that it would be dan
gerous for Iran to refuse. The
United States is firm in Its convic-
ton that any proposals made by
any sovereign government to an
other should not be accompanied
by threats or intimidation
The United States has dedicated
its full energy and resources to
freeing the people of the world from
fear of aggression" he concluded.
Our determination to follow this
policy as regards Iran is as strong
as anywhere else in the world. This
purpose can be achieved to the ex-
tent the Iranian people show de-
termina ton to defend their own
sovereignty. Patriotic Iranians
when considering matters affecting
their national interest may there
fore rest assured that the American
people will support fully their free
dom to make their own choice"

Red Pressure for Oil

TEHERAN, Iran, Sept. 12-Amer-
lean Ambassador George v. Allen
sought to counter Russian pressure
for oil concessions from Iran yes
terday with the declaration that the
United States has dedicated its full
energy and resources to free people
of the world from fear of aggres-
sion" Iranians, he declared, "may
rest assured that the American
people will support fully their free
dom to make their own choice"
The Ambassador statement, made
at the end of a speech prepared for
delivery before the Iran-American
Relations Society and distributed to
the local and foreign press, appar-
emily was an answer to widely re-
peated appeals by many Iranian
officials for specific statement of
American policy to Offset growing
Soviet radio and press attacks on
Iran.
A member Of Parliament said
Wednesday he no longer was so sure
Parliament would reject a proposed
agreement for Russian oil conces-
sion because Of Soviet Ambassador
Sadchikov's "ultimatums and
threats" A proposed United States
military credit of $25, 200, 900 might
be turned down unless the State De-
partment spoke out plainly, this
member said.
U. S. Embassy Regrets Note.
Mr.. Aliens statement also was
made shortly before it was officially
reported that British note to the
government had recommended that
Iran not close the door on Russian
oil negotiations even though Parlia-
ment rejects the projected conces-
sion.
An American Embassy spokesman
expressed regret" that the note had
been delivered, mot because of its
actual contents but because of its
probable effects on the Iranians,
who already are jittery over threats
OF Russian aggression and who may
take the note as an indication that
they are not supported in their fight
to retain their national integrity"
An attache to Prime Minister

delivered last week before British

Estimate Cost Of
Soldiers Bonus

Ohio's soldier bonus bill will cost
The real estate taxpayers of Ohio
approximately $1.02 year for each
$1,000 worth of his property over
15-year period, if voters on Novem-
Der 4 approve a proposed constitu-
tional amendment providing for
state bonus.
Estimates were made by state tax
commissioners, and announced last
week, following many inquiries rela-
tive to the approximate cost.
Estimates were based on an as
sumption that $300,000,000 worth of
bonds will be required, and that the
state viii contribute $12,000,OOO a
wear toward their retirement.
However, the state legislature has
provided for state appropriations in
the amount of $25,oOO,O00 additional
for the bonus. This would leave
S275, 100000 as the amount Of bonds
required to finance the program.
The estimate was based on the
further assumptions that the total
value of all taxable real estate IN
Ohio would remain at $11,O0O,Ooo'-
900 (billion) and that the bonds
would draw two per cent interest.
The legislature provided that the
15-vear bonds should be retired IN
30 semi-annual payments, all sub
stantially equal. On this basis the
interest at two per cent would
amount to $48,732,s80.
Thus, there would be total debt
of s34s, ,732, 800 to be paid off. After
deducting the $12,000,000 a year to
be applied on the principal and in
terest by the state, the Taxation
Department found the real estate
tax levy which would be required to
handle the remainder of the debt
would be 1925 mills a year.

Beall was captured few months
later near Suspension Bridge. He

Preserve Scissors

ATsEEVE SGISSWE5
Scissors and shears can be best
protected from rough knocks by
hanging them up or keeping them
In box. In damp weather they
may need to be protected against
rust by wrapping in waxed paper.
O1ling, too, is necessary every six
months or SO. After putting a drop
OF sewing machine oil on both sides
OF the screw that holds the blades
together and working the blades
back and forth, the excess oil should
be wiped off. II rust or dark spots
appear, these can be removed by
rubbing with sandpaper or steel
wool; a little oil should be put on
these pie 1es afterwards.
