TEHERAN. Iran, June 27.-
Crude oil pumping of Southern
Trans largest field has been halted
because of an Anglo-Iranian Oil
Co. decision to withdraw its
tankers. British Ambassador Sir
Francis Shepherd announced to-
day.
His announcement came as a
showdown appeared near in the
British-Iranian oil dispute. Ten
sion was growing over reports that
all Britons would be evacuated
from the oil fields.
Production at the Aghajari field,
about 100 miles northeast of Aba
dan, site of the worlds largest
refinery. has been stopped because
there is no more loading at the
deep sea port of Bandur Mashur.
Production of the Aghajari field is
322, 900 barrels a day.
Ambassador Shepherd estimated
that production at the Abadan re-
flnery, which is fed by six other
|oil fields in Southern Iran, could
continue another 10 to IA days be-
fore storage facilities were all used
up.
Cabinet Meeting Likely.
Premier Mohammed MossadeghI
Is reported preparing to summon a.
special cabinet meeting to discuss
latest developments in his drive toI
|nationalize the British company'sI
holdings. Iranian leaders, already
alarmed over the news that Britain
has ordered her cruiser Mauritius1
to Abadan, were little soothed by
reports that British personnel
totaling about 3,000-would bel
evacuated soon and the AbadanI
refinery shut down. II
Gn London, the Foreign ONCE
said 1t is asking Iraq for per-
mission to use her ports and
other facilities in case the Brit
ish oil workers are forced to pull
out of Iran hurriedly0
United States Ambassador Henry
F. Grady told newsnen it was
going to do no one any good toI
have the refinery closed down.
and he still hoped Mr.. Mossadeghl
would soften" his attitude. Butt
he conceded the premier had
made no concessions thus far in
the bitter dispute.
Ambassador Shepherd said heI
assumed the cruiser Mauritius al
ready had arrived off Abadan. He
said the big ship would anchorI
in Shattel-Arab River in IraqiI
waters. only 200 or so yards from
the refinery on Iranian soil. Hel
said the, cruiser was being sta
toned in the river to protect Brit
ish property in the event Of dis
orders.
II am sure the Persian govern
ment is taking all precautions tol
preserve ORDER" he told reporters,
'but obviously it is the duty of
his majesty'S government to take
all precautions also"
Observers said Iran probably
would protest to the British against
the presence of the cruiser, even
though it stays in Iraqi waters.
The boundary between Iran and
Iraq runs in the center of a deep
channel roughly in the middle
of the 500-yard-wide river.
Ambassador Shepherd said Brit
ain did not notify Iran of her
intention to send the cruiser.
No Landing Planned.
"In normal times we notify Iran
at once of the arrival of any war;
ship. but these are abnormal times /
here" he said.
Replying to another question,
he said the cruiser was there TO
protect lives and property and
there is no question at the pres
ent time of putting a landing
party ashore simply to protect
property"
He said no definite decision has
been made yet to evacuate the
British from Abadan, although

 And in Denver last night, DiSalle said he was getting ready to roll back clothing prices fin a day or two" He told a reporter the clothing order will cover all forms of wearing apparel.
 Good news for DiSalle came from Economic Mobilizer Charles E. Will son and President Truman, as well as from the cattle raising plains.

''B0UN(ING BATTLES"
 REPORTED
Allied Task Forces Fight ing from Ridge fo Ridge;
 Advance Censorized
By Associated Press


 Thousands of beaten Reds stream ed northward in Korea today as Allied task forces roamed unopposed over their abandoned iron triangle"
 Allied tanks and men spilled out over the flat lands north of Chor- won and Kumhwa. They made good advances toward Pyonggang, north- ernmost point of the triangle. But censors would not permit corre- spondents to mention the distances. The big Red withdrawal was in the wild, rugged country east of the triangle. North Koreans sweated up the mountain trails in groups rang ing from few hundred to more than thousand.
 "Bouncing Battles"
 Smaller Red forces covered the retreat They slowed advancing LIN infantrymen in bouncing battles over the ridges stretching north of the Hwachon Reservoir eastward to- ward the Sea of Japan.
 The Fifth Air Force sent nearly a third of the 535 flights mounted Wednesday skimming over these ridges. The pilots burned the Reds out with fire bombs and blasted them with explosives.
 Largest engagement reported We'd nesday was fought by South Kor- 1 cans moving up the east coast north of Kansong against an estimated 1000 Reds. On the west flank pa- trols stabbed across the Imjin river probing Chinese strength.
 JUN officials said the only sig nificant action was the Red flight behind the cover of the mountain- top defenses.
 The mountain warfare followed a, uniform pattern, bouncing from ridge to ridge.
 Artillery Blasts Reds
 JUN forces attacked North Kor- cans, entrenched on hilltops and supported by artillery and mortar fire, halted them LIN air strikes and artillery then blasted the Reds. Communists pulled back to the next ridge.
 There the same performance was repeated.
 GIs gave this type of warfare the name: Bouncing Battle
 Moscow radio said the Commun- ists blocked LIN attacks all along the front Tuesday and shot down four Allied planes.
 There were no such Allied reports.

FOREST LAND
 WITHDRAWN, ALASKA AREA

WASHINGTON, June 13, - @ = The government set aside 34,861 acres within National Forests today for use as administrative centers, campgrounds, recreation areas and ranger stations.
 Some of the forest land with drawn from settlement or mining or commercial development will be used for skiing and other winter sports.
 The lands are in 47 tracts in IA states and Alaska. Although they are part of areas administered by the Forest Service in the depart ment of Agriculture. the authority for such withdrawals rests with the Secretary of the Interior.
 Marion McLawson, director of In- terior's Bureau of Land Management, said the withdrawals are designed to prevent mining activities in the specific areas to be used for ad- ministrative or recreational pur- poses. However, oil and gas devel- opment will be permitted where circumstances warrant.
 The lands withdrawn include:
 Alaska-A 39.63 acre Edna Bay administrative site in the Tongass National Forest, and the following parts of the Chugach National For est: all lands within a quarter of a mile of Summit Lake, or about 790 acres, to be known as the Sum- init Lake Recreation Area; the 385 acres within a quarter of a mile of lower Summit Lake also as a re- creational area; and the 3,0l7.6 acres of land within one-fourth of a mile of the Seward-A Anchorage highway, iromstile west end of the bridge crossing East Fork Creek northeastward for 9.43 miles, to be known as the Granite Creek Road side zone.

VASHINGTON.-PresidentT Tru- man has always felt that he made a mistake in yielding to cabinet ad- visers in October 1946 when he modified price controls on meat This is one reason why he has be- come literally a personal crusader against the meat packers and for the consumer in the current battle over price controls.
 Conferring privately with his Congressional leaders last week, the President really let loose at the big meat packers.
 They are worried about losing some of their big profits,' he de- clared. But they have brought it on thefnselves by initiating prices and squeezing the consumer"
 He added that certain vocal ele- ments among the cattlemen do not speak for the livestock industry

Southern farmers are hopefully watching a crop-saving rain moving steadily in from the northwest.
 Already the south has counted crop losses running into hundreds of millions of dollars. Farmlands are baked and pastures parched.
 Rains have ended the drought ID Arkansas, Tennessee, North Georgia and South Carolina. Other areas had spotty relief, but vast areas are still suffering.
 Crop and pasture damage in Ala- bama alone is expected to exceed 50,000,0O0. A similar situation exists in Louisiana and Mississippi. In all three states there were scat tered showers throughout the week but the farmers want a good, heavy rain.
