Mandatory Revoking Of Permit
In 7 Traffic Offenses Studied

The Commissioners are consid-
ering a proposal to make revoca-
ton of driving permits mandatory
on conviction of any of seven traf-
f1c offenses, 1t was disclosed to-
day.
The offenses are negligent
homicide, driving while drunk, hit
and run, reckless driving involv-
ing personal injury, turning off
lights of vehicle to avoid identi-
f1cation, a felony in which mo-
tor vehicle is used, and making
a false statement or affidavit un-
der oath to the traffic director.
The traffic act now provides for
mandatory revocation only in the
case of drunken driving.
The fact that revocations are
subject to review by the .Commis-
sioners makes necessary many
hearings before the Board of
Revocation and Restoration of
Operators Permits and subsequent

u. 5. Will Lend Iran
SIS Million 10 Help
Build lis Economy
Purlioment Also Told
Tolks Are Progressing
For Soviet Burter Deal
By the Associated Pres,

TEHERAN. Iran, Oct. 10.-Pre-
mier Ali Razmara announced to-
day that the United States had
agreed to lend $25 million to help
build up Trans economy.
He also told the Mails (Parlia-
ment) that negotiations were
progressing very successfully" for
a $40 million barter deal with
Russia.
The American loan. from the
Export Import Bank, will be used
chiefly for agricultural and road
building equipment. It gives the
United States an edge in the
propaganda war which has been
growing here in this strategic oil
rich nation on the southern bor-
der Of the Soviet Union.
Loan Will Aid Economy.
"The American loan will give
very important and effective help
in implementing the seven-year
plan and bolstering our economic
conditions" Gen. Razmara told
the cheering deputies.
The seven-year plan is a pro-
gram of agricultural and indus
trial development drafted by
American experts at the invita-
ton of Trans government.
There was expected to be some
disappointment expressed at what
the Iranians regard as the small
amount of the loan. Gen. Raz-
mara told Parliament, however,
that he expected a second $40
million loan from the Export
Import Bank soon. f..
The loan, American Ambassa-
dor Henry F. Grady told news
men, is the beginning of genuine
American economic assistance"
Tran is looking to us for fur
ther credits to develop the basic
facilities and essential economic
progress of the country" he
declared.
To Bolster u. S. Prestige.
The American loan is expected
to bolster American prestige,
which has been slipping badly in
recent months due to the long
delay in the extension of aid.
The American move also is ex-
pected to speed up the Soviet
Iranian trade talks, which have
been dragging since August de-
spite Gen. Razmara's comment
that they are proceeding success
fully.

Washington Voters
May Elect kagnuson
And 4 Republicans
Democratic Senator Due
To Win EosiIy, but House
Battles Are Hard Fought
BY Gould Lincoln
Stor Stoff Correspondent

SEATTLE. Oct. 10.-With the
political campaign just getting
underway, here's the pitch in
Washington State as veteran OBJ
servers and political leaders of
both parties see it:
Senator Magnuson, Democrat,
probably will be reelected.
The four incumbent Republican
members of the House probably
will be reelected and the Republi-
cans stand a very good chance of
electing their candidate, Mrs.
F. F. Powell, over Representative
Mitchell, Democrat. in the 1st
congressional district. Represent
ative Jackson. the other incum-
bent Democrat, is apparently sure
of reelection in the I'd district.
Tickets Often Split.
1t seems incredible that a State
could elect five out of six of it's
members of the House from one
party, and a Senator of the op-
posite party on the same election
Gay. But that may happen. If
it does, it will be scarcely less
strange than the election results
in 1948, when Washington gave
it's electoral vote to President Tru-
nan with lead of 100000 votes,
elected a Republican Governor,
and four Republican members of
the House to two Democratic
members. And while it was elect
ing a Republican Governor, it
elected Democrats to all of the
other State Offices who ran State
wide
Republican leaders do not ad-
nit that their senatorial candi-
date, Walter Williams, will be de-
feated, but they sadly fear he may
They contend that Mr.. Williams
has a chance" and what they
hope is that as the campaign pro-
crosses that chance will improve
Certainly they expect Senator
Magnuson's lead-he won by
about 100000 votes in 1914, run
ming ahead of even the late
Franklin D. Roosevelt in that
presidential election year-will be
materially cut. More impartial

3-Man Panel Named
To Make Rulings on
Doctor Draft Here
Other Medical Men
Chosen for Similar
Boords in All Stutes
By George Beveridee

Two District doctors and q
dentist have been appointed by
the Government to head a new
committee which will decide
largely who shall be called into
uniform here under the new
medical draft law, The Star
learned today.
Technically, the committee will
serve as an advisory group to
draft officials. Actually. it was
understood. its decisions will be
accepted in the important ques-
tions of deferment.
At the same time, the Defense
Department today called for the
drafting of 1922 doctors, dentists
and veterinarians for the Army
during November. December and
January. The Army has indicated
it will call $500 physicians through
the draft by next March.
The total includes 922 physi-
clans, 500 dentists and 100 vet
erinarians.
No Estimate of ID. C. Quota.
Induction quotas include: 300
physicians by November Is. 800
physicians, 800 dentists and so
doctors of veterinary medicine by
December Is and 1922 physicians,
200 dentists and so veterinarians
by January IS.
Since District and State quotas
probably will be based partly on
the availability of medical spe-
cialiSts in each area, no estimate
of District quotas for the three
month period was available.
Appointments to three-man
advisory committees in the Dis
trict and each State were made by
the National Draft Advisory Com
mission named last week by Fresi-
dent Truman. The commission
wired appointments last Friday,
and requested answers as to
whether each would serve.
Simpson to Head Committee.
The commission declined to
name appointees until all the an
swers are received. However, it
was learned that the three Dis
trict men selected are:
DR.. G. Victor Simpson, ophthal-
mologist. representing the city's
physicians; DR.. E. Milburn Colvin,
representing the dentists. and DR..
Daniel L. Seckinger. the District
health officer.
DR.. Simpson and DR.. Colvin,
who headed committees of the
District Medical and the District
Dental Societies to aid in the re-
call of Reservists. already have
accepted. DR.. Seckinger is ex-
pected to accept, but has not yet
notified officials.
DR.. Simpson will head the COM
mittee. as will the appointed ply
sicians in each State. Other
members will be added-subject to
the national commissions ap-
proval-and it is likely that sub
committees will be set up to deal
specifically with the calls of ply
sicians, dentists and veterinarians.

President Truman will meet
Gen. Macarthur somewhere in
the Pacific" this week end, it was
announced today at the White
House.
Press Secretary Charles G. Ross
told reporters about the contem-
plated trip at a news conference.
He would not amplify his re-
marks.
The President will fly to the
meeting place when he leaves st.
Louis Thursday afternoon, Mr..
Ross said.
Mr.. Ross said that arrange
ments for the meeting have just
been completed and that details
are to be announced later. It
was indicated that a formal state
ment would be issued at the White
House later today.
First Meeting of Two.
1t will be the first time that
President Truman has met Gen.
Macarthur.
For Gen. Macarthur, it will be
his second mid-Pacific conference
with a President and his Com
mander in Chief. He and President
Roosevelt held a meeting of STRAIT
egy during World War II. Gen,
Macarthur has not been to the
United States since May of 1887.
From time to time it has been
reported that Gen. Macarthur
would come back to WASHINGTON
TO confer with the President. MIR.
truman has always said that the
general was at liberty to return

The announcement that the
President would fly to the Pacific
was entirely unexpected, and the
fact that the White House would
not say anything at the moment
as to what was behind the trip.
left that field open entirely for
speculation.
Treaty Possible Topic.
1t was assumed that Mr.. Tru-
man wanted f1rst-hand account
OF the situation in the Pacific with
emphasis on the Russian attitude
out there.
The President unquestionably
will want to talk to the general
about prospects of working out
a peace treaty with Japan, it h
believed.
The Formosan situation is an
other one for prospective discus
sion inasmuch as Gen. Macarthur
has gone on record as believing
that it would be fatal to have
Formosa in unfriendly hands.
He made this cellar in his state
ment to the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, which was suppressed by
the President before it could be
presented at the recent national
convention.
President Truman has been in

100000 people on the Sea of ia

into the northern Red country.
Wonsan is about los miles north
of 38 and 95 miles almost due east
of the Communist capital, Pyong-

1t was the center of oil refln-

best natural harbors in the coun-
try. A peninsula jutting north

once a japanese naval air station.
Wosan had been red-penciled,
Communist prisoners said, as a
place where North Korean forces
hoped to make a major defense
