Iran City Once Known
For Deadly Miami Bug

WASHINGTON. D. C.-Mianeh,
where internal strife in Iran broke
out anew, became known to CTS
through the movement of huge
amounts of lend-lease goods to
Russia as a northern railhead of
the Trans-Iranian Railroad. But
to British soldiers on duty in the
same area during World War l,
Mianeh was the name-town and
home base of the fearsome Mana
bug, notes the National Geographic
Society.
Among civilians as well as
soldiers Of that period, the power
of this Persian mite to cause few
er and death grew to legendary
proportions. Modern insecticides,
however, have limited it's threat.
Fewer than 10000 peasants in
habit the town on the southern
border of Trans restless north
western province of Azerbaijan.
Most Of the Mianeh people farm
land long owned by feudal fami-
lies in the fertile basin surround
ing the community. The basin,
about 1000 feet above sea level,
is walled in by high mountains.
From the national capital at
Tehran, highway and railroad fol-
low the valley northwest $50 miles
through Kazvin and Zenjan to
Mianeh. The highway continues
80 miles farther to Tabriz, capital
of A%zerbaijan Province. Rugged
mountains have forestalled the
long proposed rail link between
Mianeh and the southern terminus
of the Soviet line at Tabriz.
Approaching Azerbaijan Prov
ince's border south of Mianeh,
the road climbs abruptly to Bale
shkent Pass and zigzags dizzily
down the gorge to the north. Then
it crosses still more difficult
Ghaflankooh Pass at $3.50 feet,
ascending 1000 feet in the course
of two miles.
Roaming the foothills east of
the TabriZ road are wild, lawless
tribesmen with a chivalry of
their own. They are courageous
and good marksmen, and resent
armed intrusion. They have been
known as the "tax collectors" of
the road, exacting toll impartially
from the Shah's merchant horse
men and from merchant caravans
when they could get away with it.
Throughout the province, an
area the size of Maine, peasants
have farmed privately-owned land
and paid high rents to owners
living in Tabriz. The farmers live
in small villages, and 60 forth
daily to cultivate grain, grapes,
and fruit in the valleys. Iranians.
Turks, Kurds, Syrians, and Ar
menians make up Aze-baijan's
population of nearly two million.
Summers are hot and dry, and
winters are severely cold on this
high, rolling lakeland. Lake urn
ia, in the west, is IS miles long,
and too salty to support fish.
The province has little timber.
Copper is mined in the mountains
near Mianeh, and some lead, sui
phur, Ignite and marble are pro-
duced. Russia holds leases on
land believed to have large pet-o-
leum reserves. Textiles and leath-
er goods are made in Tabriz,
a city of 214, 900, once a Mongol
seat of empire.
