RIDING ON THE RAILROAD

The railroads want increased freight
rates, more passengers and higher incomes
so that they can return to the good old
days." Evidently the main trouble with
the railroads is that theysare being slowed
down by competition from the automobile
and trucking industries, and airplanes that
fly the skies.
But in reality the railroad problem
today is the inability of the chiefs in that
great branch of transportation to adjust
themselves to modern transportation
changes.

By the Associoted Press

TEHERAN, Iran, Sept. s.
Bombing planes and heavy troop
concentrations were called out to-
day in an effort to crush a small
tribal revolt in Kurdistan and to
head off possible full-scale Com

wild border tribesmen.
A general staff communique

fered heavy casualties" yesterday
The main village of Javanrood was
taken, but the fighting is con-

Fear was expressed in some of
fetal quarters that the Javan-
roodi revolt might touch off wide
spread Kurdish resistance aided
by pro-Communist Kurds now
living inside the Soviet border
In recent weeks the secret Com
munist Azerbaijan radio has
stepped up propaganda urging
Kurds in Iran, Iraq and Turkey
to revolt and set up a Soviet state
of KurdiStan.
The fighting near the Iraqi bor-
der began on Saturday, but, the
news did not leak out until yes
terday, when the government said
tribesmen were resisting an army
attempt to disarm them.

owed direct Soviet participation III
the Korean war, which heretofore
has been regarded as unlikely.
Diplomatic sources did say that
the issue is one for the U. N. rath-
er than for this Government to
consider,
1t was anticipated, however, that
any reaction to the shooting would
be delayed at least until individ-
ual delegations obtain instructions
from their home governments.
The U. N. Council already is
considering an American request
to all member nations not to help
or encourage the North Korean
invaders.
There was no immediate COM
ment from the White House on
this new turn of events in the
Korean war.
1t was learned, howevery, that
Secretary of State Acheson and
President Truman had been ad-
vised Immediately after word
reached the State Department
through military channels, and
that Mr.. Truman had approved
referral of the matter to the U. N.
There was evidence also that
the United States acted speedily
in an effort to get its side of the
story before the world first in the
hope of forestalling any propa-
ganda use by Moscow.
Russia has acknowledged selling
war material to the North Ko-
reans. Jacob A. Malik, Soviet
delegate to the Security Council,
said August II that all such sales
were made before Russia an
nounced withdrawal of occupation
forces from North Korea at the
end of 1948.
American military authorities,
however, have contended that
some captured equipment was pro-
duced in Russia in 1949 and
early 1850.
Manchuria Attack Charged.
Just last week the Chinese
Communists asserted that Ameri-
can planes had attacked a Man
churian airfield. Warren r. Aus
tin, American delegate to the Sc
curity Council, said there was "a
possibility" that had happened.
He called for a u. N. commission
to investigate and said the United
States would pay damages If
the charge were proved.
Once before this year this
country accused Russia of attack
