into his tailor's and take the first

No, he bares his chest, wiggles his
ears. fexes his bicuspids, whacks
a tailor or two on the jaw to show
the Madison Square Garden

roars:
I'm a rugged mess of maScu-

with. Give me a producer to chew
on. And while I'm doing it start
taking the measurements of a
herman. And when the suits are
finished I want them to proclaim
to the world that the wearer is
more of a man than Adam ever
Was!"
Now I know what to do when I
next visit my tailor. I'll walk in

This Changing World
Activities of Russian Agents in Iran
Indicate New Attempt to Overthrow Rule

encroachment are 50 high that
neither tanks nor planes can be
made available to them.
Moscow accuses Washington and
London Of plotting to make Iran
a military dictatorship which could
serve our "warmongering" plans.
1t supports its contention by. say
ing that top Offices In Teheran are
filled with American and British
officials and that the Iranian army
now is commanded by American
and British officers. It further de-
clares-and this is considered q
storm warning" by Teheran-
that the 1ranian rulers are tools Of
American Imperialism and as such
are harmful to the vital interests
Of the country.
The Soviet offensive against
Iran is regarded by our Middle
Eastern specialists as having been
prompted by the desire to create
chaos in the country and thereby
deprive the West Of its important
oil supplies. It is recalled that
when the Russo-Iranian dispute
was settled in 1946. under pres
sure from the U. NJ, the Russians
insisted that they should receive
important oil concessions. The
Iranian parliament refused to
grant them, however.
Oil Aids Recovery.
Important oil supplies are being
purchased from Iran by this coun-
try for the recovery Of Europe.
These sources would be of far
greater Importance in the event
of another world conflict, in
which the Vests armed forces
will have to receive vital gas for
their air and ground forces from
Iran and Iraq.s
If by skillful maneuvering the
q. s. S. r. is able to overthrow the
present legitimate government,
and replace it with a government
subservient to Moscow. the West
will have to depend on long hauls
across the Atlantic. Under such
conditions an enemy submarine
and air force could seriously
hamper the supplying of Western
defense forces.
This is considered by top ana
lysts in the government as the
main reason for Russia's renewed
pressure on Iran and the fear Of
the Teheran government that
words soon may be replaced by
direct action on a much larger
scale than in 1916. when the
movement for Azerbaijan auto
nomy was on.

this supposed battle Tor great
principles.
The only man who risked any
thing in the whole venture was
Senator Claude Pepper OF Florida.
Senator Pepper will be up for re-
election next year but he stood
up and said, in effect: Come and
get me. I'm for civil rights.
No genuine attempt to break
the filibuster was made. BY COM
mon consent Senators refused to
chance their health in around
the-clock sessions by which 1t
might have been crushed. The
dominant Senators are the elderly
ones and the old school tie held
fast.
Presidents Position.
President Truman is hardly in a
position to chide anybody. After
asserting no leadership for two
months on the issue which many
believe elected him. he suddenly
sent the Senate into battle. Then
he torpedoed' his leaders still
half hearted efforts with hts i'll
advised comment that he favored
cloture by simple majority OF
those present. a proposition not

Then he went fishing.
There is no evidence that the
White House threw its prestige
and power into the encounter.
Nor did the President attempt to
rally the country to defense OF
the issues involved.
The South is already being as
sured that Harry Truman Of Mis-
souri, is a hypocrite on civil rights.
The President will need sturdy
evidence now to refute the charge.

According to csnstantins Brown.
Western observers in Iran, there
is little probability that the
U. s. s. r. would want to move
openly against Iran. But there is
every indication that internal
troubles, similar to those which
occurred in Azerbaijan in 1916,
now are being prepared with the
support Of Soviet agents. They
are on q larger scale than three
years ago, however.
Diplomatic relations between
Moscow and Teheran are at their
lowest ebb. The inoendiary propa-
ganda put out by Russian radio
stations, coupled with the activi-
ties of Communist stooges in all
parts Of Iran, caused the Iranian
government to send the Kremlin
a strong note on February 19. The
note accused the Soviet govern
ment of committing unfriendly
acts against the Teheran govern
ment.
/ Note Ignored.
Although nearly q month has
passed since delivery of that note,
the Soviet Foreign ONCE has not
even acknowledged it and the at
tacks continue unabated.

already established in the Central
Intelligence Agency-CIA-it was
emphasized that our spy system
has been much weaker than those
of other nations.
But now, by the grace OF this
bill, we will have a f1rst-class one
and will be able to hold up our
heads In the world, and will be
even as other nations. There are
enough hints in provisions OF
House Bill 1868 for our agents,
their travel abroad. their con-
fidential expense accounts, and
such, to assure us of American
spies in the best Old World tradi-
ton. The bill is certain to become
law since a similar measure. with
one exception, was passed by the
Senate in the last Congress. 1t
was unanimously approved then
also by the House Armed Services
Committee, but failed Of House
action in the last-minute rush.
The exception in the current
measure is the provision for ad-
mitting up to 100 aliens a year,
outside of immigration laws, to
supply the CIA with information.

Few on Hand in Chamber.
This reporter watched the pro-
ceedings in the House. for the bill
did seem to be a landmark. Many
measures involving departures
from established ways and tradi-
tions Of far less significance have
provoked notable debate. This,
however, was little more than
routine and, after all, 1t is routine
in these times, which is itself a
bit frightening. During the 40
minutes of debate permitted un-
der the extraordinary procedure
adopted for the bill, this reporter
counted from rs to 100 members
present of the 435. though others
came in at the end when sum-
moned for the vote. Only 4 votes
were cast against the measure,
384 for it.
It was with reluctance that Rep
resentative Short, ranking Repub-
lican member Of the Armed Serv-
ices Committee, supported the bill.
He said there were doubts in the
minds of many members about it.
We're engaged in a highly dan
