Checking the chimney for leaks
is a good safety precaution. Here
is the way it's done: build a
smudge fire at the bottom of the
flue and when the smoke is passing
in a dense column. close the outlet
at the top with a wet blanket. If
there is any leakage, the defect

To Tighten Communist Hold

Believed Killed, in
Tito Case Reaction
By the Associoted Press

ATHENS, Feb. 5.-A major
shakeup of Communist guerrilla
leadership in the three-year civil
war against the Greek govern
ment has taken place. An under
ground radio announcement said
the guerrilla chief, Markos
tVafiades, has been relieved of
his political leadership.
A spokesman for the Greek Army
general staff said the broadcast, late
yesterday from the Free Greece
radio supported army suspicious
that Markos had been executed for
failing to conquer Greece"
Greek government circles said they
consider the action against Markos
result of the conflict between the
Cominform and Marshal Tito of
Yugoslavia. They said the Comm
form now has put the Greek Com
munist Party under its complete
domination.
Alexander Papagos, generalissimo
of the Greek armed forces, said he
interpreted the broadcast to mean
Markos-who preferred to be known
by this single name-also had been
dismissed as commander of the
Communist backed rebel forces. He
said he could not confirm that the
guerrilla chief had been killed, but

Iran S Leftist Party
0ut|awed in ATTEMPT
To Assassinate Shah
Reporter Who Wounded
Ruler Dies of Injuries
Caused by Teheron Mob
by the Associated Press

TEHERAN, Iran, Feb. S.
Trans leftist Tudeh Party was
outlawed today and one of its
members blamed for trying to
assassinate Shah Mohammed
Reza Pahelvi last night.
The accused assailant, Fakhr
Raiee, newspaperman, died in a
hospital last night of injuries
suffered at the hands of a mob
which seized him after five shots
were fired at the Shah. Two bullets
hit the ruler, but he suffered only
minor injuries.
Subsequently this capital of OIL
rich Iran was placed under martial
law and the Tudeh Party outlawed
Raiee was described in Parliament
as an active member of the party.
Acting Interior Minister Manou-
chehr Eqbal said Tudeh organiza-
tions throughout the country would
be dissolved The party's central
club already had been occupied.
Shah's Condition Excellent.
The five shots we're fired at the
29-year old Shah as he entered Te-
heran University to take part in an
anniversary celebration. One bullet
went through his cheek and upper
lip and another through his side.
The other three pierced his hat. An
official communique said his condi-
ton is excellent.
The young ruler of Iran, formerly
called Persia, less than three months
ago divorced Princess Fawzia. sister
of the King of Egypt and considered
one of the worlds most beautiful
women. King Farouk of Egypt stimuli
taneouSly ended his marriage to his
queen Farida. Neither queen had
borne a son to her ruler-husband.
Iran has been torn by political
dissension over its oil fields, re-
puted to be the largest single oil
pool in the world. The ancient
country between the Indus and
Tigris Rivers, one of the oldest ma
tions in the world, has been an i'm
portant battle-ground in the East
West cold war.
Leftist political factions have ia
vored granting oil concessions to the
Soviet, which borders on the north.
Russia has been demanding such
concessions in recent years. The
anti-Russian group took complete
control last November when Moham-
med Saed Maraghei was made pre-
mier. He firmly resisted wartime
Russian demands for oil leases.

The New York stock market, the
barometer that predicted the 1929

in many months, with 81 stocks
selling at the lowest price in more

Also in New York, bond prices
suffered one of the sharpest declines
of the last IL months, with nearly
l25 issues sagging, some as much as
2 points.
The Chicago grain market was hit
by a storm of selling, with corn,
oats, rye and soybean falling so
swiftly that one trader described
the market as "demoralized."
The Associated Press index of IS
wholesale commodities dropped
nearly a full point, reaching 16S.46.
