 WASHINGTON - The Iranian government is attempting a new backstage squeeze for big U. s. handout.
 It is demand for $250, ,000, ,0O0 World Bank loan.
 The proposal was sprung by A. H. Ebtehaj, head of the Iranian State Bank, and a governor of the World Bank. He is due here next month for a meeting of bank governors.
 Meanwhile, Ebtehaj is trying to put the heat on in Teheran. He has told U. S. officials there that Iran is entitled to the same kind of monetary and military aid the U. s. is giving Turkey and Greece.
 He concluded one conversation with the naughty observation that if such assistance is not forthcom- ing the U. s. can go to he'll

ORGANIZATION 5ET, STATEHOOD MEETING ENDS IN HARMONY

The organizing session of the Alaska Statehood Committee ended shortly after noon today.
 Bylaws were adopted this morn- ing and subcommittee were chos- en to act in furthering the poli- cies of the Statehood Committee between meetings.
 The qualified person to do the necessary resarch,' called for by the Statehood bill, was not en- gagged because of lack of funds.
 Subcommittee called for under the bylaws are:
 l. Education and Public Rela- tions. Members are William L. Baker, Ketchikan publisher; Robert Atwood, Anchorage publisher; Gov Ernest Gruening; Lee Bettinger of Kodiak and Senator Howard Lyng of Nome.
 2. Legislation. Members are Sen Lyng; Sen. Andrew Nerland of Fairbanks; Rep. Stanley McCutch- con of Anchorage; Sen. Frank Peratrovich of Klawock; Sen. Vic- tor c. Rivers of Anchorage; and Rep. Warren A. Taylor of Fair banks.
 These two subcommittee will be most active while statehood is still in question, committee spokesmen said today.
 The first Will handle publicity and information in connection with the bid for statehood; the second will make available to Delegate E. L. Bartlett pertinent information and suggestions and, such other assistance in obtaining passage of the best possible enabling legisla- ton by Congress "-as pro- vided by Territorial legislation.
 3. Constitution. Members are Rep. Taylor. Sen. Nerland, Judge Anthony J. Dimond, Mrs. Mildred Hermann of Juneau, and Rep. Per cy Ipalook of Cape Prince of Wales.
 4. State Organization. Members are Sen. Rivers, Sen. Nerland, Mrs. Hermann and Rep. Ipalook.
 The work of these two commit tees will be seen when Alaska $ statehood becomes fact, commit tee spokesmen deciared-
 The Organization subcommittee will be charged with making plan for bringing Alaska through the transition period between territory and state.
 The subcommittee on Constitution will have ," .. in preparation for the Constitution Convention, fully detailed information and analysis for use by the convention in pre- pairing the required draft of con- stitution for Alaska .. "- accord ing to the Statehood Committee Act.
 Atwood, yesterday chosen chair man of the Statehood Committee, said the first session was harmon ious all the way through
 Delegate E. L. (Bob) Bartlett is ex-officio member of all sub-com- mittees.
 The bylaws also made provisions for compensation of Statehood Committee members: $20 per day when members are on official Statehood Committee business in Alaska; and $25 per day outside Alaska.
 However the subcommittee set up is an effort to make ex- penditures unnecessary at present. Although $8O,000 was appropriated when the Statehood Committee bill was passed in the Territorial legis- lature, the money is frozen while the Territory is negotiating a loan.
 Meanwhile, committee members have negotiated a loan on their personal notes so that funds will be available for committee ac- tion in emergencies.
 The Statehood Committees open- ing meeting was Monday Gov. Gruening was chairman. Rep. Tay- Tor, Delegate Bartlett and Atwood were the nominating committee chosen during the first days meet fv,u

VAUGHAN ON STAND
 END DAY
Truman's 5 Aide Admits FBI Looked Into His Record
 as 5 Percenter


 WASHINGTON. Aug. 31-A- The FBI once investigated Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan after he had been accused of accepting . Itribe to fix an income tax case.
 An aide declared he was exoner- ated.
 Vaughan. President Trumans military aide. told about the investi- yation today to the Senate Com- mittee looking into five percenter" activities in Washington.
 Senator Mccarthy (R-wis), ono of the members of the committee, had asked Vaughan whether the FBI had not taken an interest in his activities. Specifically McCar- thy asked whether the FBI had not looked into a charge that Vaughan applied pressure and in- fluence" on the Agriculture De- partment on behalf of liquor com panies.
 Vaughan said he never had heard of that charge. Then he went on to tell of the tax investigation, although he couldn't recall exactly when it was. He said he understood the FBI looked into his affairs at the request of member of the press.'
 ADMITS DEALINGS
 Vaughan, on the stand for the second day, previously had ack- nowledged that he helped business friends in dealings with the govern ment. He said, however, there was nothing improper in what he did, and he didn't take any pay for 1t.
 He testified today that he ac- cepted campaign contribution CT don't think t could have been over. q couple cf hnndred sdollars'1 last fall from william A. Neblctt. lawyer who had come to him previously seeking pardon for a client who was serving term for selling liquor in the black market.
 Mccarthy tried to link the two events. but Vaughan exclaimed:
 T don't think that had thing to do with 1t, Senator"
 He said that when Neblett came to him about the pardon he refer red him to the Justice Department.
 PARDON SECURED Mccarthy said the lawyers client later got the pardon While Vaughan steadfastly main- tained that his hands stayed clean in all his dealings with capital "fix-it mem some Republican Senators had a lot more questions to shoot at him.
 Mccarthy said yesterday he had the feeling all along-and still felt that Vaughan did not profit sper-s sonally from any of his various in-' tercessions with the government.
 T am going to ask that the last half of that statement te stricken from the record" Mccarthy said today, that part in which said that 1t still was my opinion" BOUGHT AUTOS Before Vaughan was dismissed from the witness chair and the hearing recessed until tomorrow. 1t also was developed that Vaughan had purchased automobiles for friends. Mccarthy said an Oldsmobile purchased in l947 for Mrs. Morris Cavanaugh, of Spring Green. Wis turned up in the black market 10 days later at a price of $500. Vaughan acknowledged buying the car for her. He said the news that 1t was black-marketed "is very much a surprise to me" Mccarthy said Mrs. Cavanaugh admitted that she black marketed" a Buick and Cadillac the same month.

RUSSIANS AGAINST STAIN

II ,ess than ! wear after the Germans
invaded Russia, 100000 Soviet volunteers
were serving with the German Army
against the soviets, according to Wallace
Carroll. editor of The Winston-Saiem
Journal. who was in charge OF the Y. ).
psychological warfare program IN EUROPE
during the last war. $500
afn.s II an article, published in Life Maya
zine the North Carolina editor says that,
NV the middle of 1943, the total number
Of Russians serving with the Nazls, was
500, 900. Instead of acting to encourage
the Russians to join the German Army,
Hitler decided to conquer RUSSIA by brute
force alone and gave orders TO treat the
Russians as "sub-humans" and reject their
cooperation.
Following these orders, Mr.. Carroll
says that hundreds of thousands OF Rus
sian prisoners were herded into prison
camps and left to starve. The result was
stiffening of Russian resistance and,
instead of surrendering easily, as they
had done at the start of the campaign
the Russians troops fought more stub
bornly.
The Importance of this fact, in. the
opinion Of Mr. Carroll, is that the United
States should consider the possibility OF
turning the Russians against Stains re-
CINE. Because millions of Soviet citizens
welcomed the Germans as liberators, the
editor believes that, in case of war with
Russia, we should seek to encourage po-
tential allies inside of Russia and take adj
vantage of the discomfort against the Com
munist regime.
The suggestion makes sense, The
Communists have not hesitated to set up,
in foreign countries, organizations expect
ed to follow the dictation of Moscow and
to revolt against other governments in the
event of trouble with the Soviet Union.
If this policy is permissible for the Soviet,
it ought to be feasible against the Rus
slams.

GOOD ADVICE FOR EUROPE

The United States, through many Of
ficials,s urges European nations to solve
their problems by taking steps to develop
trade between them on sound economic
This is to be accomplished by lower
ing trade barriers, even if such step tenn
porarily depresses domestic interests. Eu-
ropeans, however, point out that in the
United States, there is always loud howl
about low-paid foreign labor whenever
any foreign industry increases exports to
the United States.
Europeans take note of the advice to
improve productivity, lower prices and
spread the benefits of modern technology.
They point out, however, that, as far as
they can see, top Industries in this coun-
try are not passing the benefits of mod
ern technology in lower prices to consum-
ers. By consumers" they include virtually
the population of Europe.
Economists and statemen in the
Continental zone regard the farm price
support policy of this country as an out
standing OBSTACLE to re-ordering the econ
omy of the western world.
The United States, which is spending
billions of dollars in the interest of pro-
noting recovery in. Western Europe, has
perfect right to advise the nations re-
ceiving assistance that they SHOULD take
steps to promote their economic improve
ment. The lowering of trade barriers has
been urged by official representatives of
this country and, while there are many OBJ
stacles to effective action in this direction,
there can be little doubt but that such a
development would work to the advantage
of the peoples of the countries affected.

SAYS ENGLAND HAS A-BOMB

A London newspaper intimates that
Great Britain has the atomic bomb but
the news arouses no sensation and nobody
IN the United States is concerned.
There is no occasion for surprise in
this connection because Sir John Cockroft,
head of atom research in Great Britain,
discovered the particle that split the
bombs atoms. He worked on the Ameri-
can bomb project during the war and it
seems incredible that there are any Sc
crets about the bomb that he does not
share
Certainly, the ability of the British to
stockpile atom bombs is not threat to
the United States or to the free peoples of
the world. AS matter of fact, possession
of the bomb by the British constitutes an
other strengthening of the military might
of the democratic nations.
