Soviet Eyes Iran Oil
By W. G. DHdine
North American Newspaper AlIiunes

KARACHI, Pakistan, Jan. s.
BY the carefully timed and sudden
offering to Iran of concessions
long withheld. the Soviet govern
ment has, within a few months,
brought about the virtual bank
ruptcy of American prestige in
that country and has apparently
begun to draw the Teheran gov
eminent. formerly considered
ti-Communist, more and more
within it's influence.
Most recent indication of this
trend was the barring of Voice of

to Trans economy and write the
necessary prescription.
An Export Import Bank loan,
Point -Four aid. a grant of military
equipment-aH were in the cards,
and Iran and America seemed
headed for honeymoon.
Call Ends Honeymoon.
For several weeks Soviet Am
bassador Ivan Sadchikov, dean of
Teheran's diplomatic colony, ig-
nored the new Prime Minister.
Then. when the Korean war had
also been going on for a few weeks,
he made two calls in succession.
Prime Minister Razmara, with a
show of great firmness, demanded
return of the prisoners as a prelude
to trade talks. They were i'm
mediately popped over the border.
Delegates arrived from Moscow
and talks began. The Washing
ton-Teheran honeymoon was over.
1t is interesting to note that all
the Soviet concessions were merely
ordinary rights of a neighbor state
which had been deliberately with
held until the time came to bal
ance the Korean war with peace
offensive. Then they were wrapped
together in a tempting package.
AS a corsage with the gift, Radio
Moscow stopped saying rude things
about the Persian royal family
and a clandestine station on the
AZerbaijan border. which had been
melting the tribes to revolt, stayed
off the air.
The ban on broadcast relays
was also extended to BIC and to
programs from Karachi and New
Delhi. but published comments by
Bahram Shahrokh, Teheran's
propaganda director, indicate that
the Voice of America was the chief
target.
Shahrokh. who has had an in
and-out career in his post in the
past year and who once worked
in Berlin for Nazi Propaganda
Minister Joseph Goebbels, COM
menting on the ban, is quoted as
referring to unkept American
promises of radio transmitters to
Iran.
Unrelayed Voice of America
broadcasts are hard to dial in
Iran without powerful receivers.
It is feared few will trouble to
tune them in. Those who tire of
Radio Teheran fare can pick up
Russian stations loud and clear
at most any hour to hear speakers
in Persian. Kurdish and Turki tell
about the wonders of life in the
Soviet.

Second of q Series.


America relays from a 15-minutes
daily spot on Radio Teheran.
Earlier, travel by Americans to
frontier regions and tribal areas
had been sharply restricted.
Assumption is that banning of
the Voice relays was in response
to Soviet pressure, possibly in the
form of gentle insistence that the
same courtesy be extended to
Radio Moscow broadcastS, already
clearly received throughout much
of Iran.
Acclaimed by Press.
This move has been warmly ac-
claimed by the Teheran press,
whose anti-American crescendo
has risen from a murmur to a
howl ever since Shah Mohammed
Reza Pahlevi came back from the
United States almost a year ago
without the hoped-for bags of
dollars. The press chorus has be-
come increasingly willing to take
its pitch from the Soviet tuning
fork.
Formerly buffeted by Russian
radio TRADES. bludgeoned by
rough notes of protest over al
legged activities by foreigners
within her territory, harassed by
callous little frontier aggressions
and numbed by what amounted
to an economic blockade of her
natural trade with the north,
Iran was pleased when the Krem-
Inns menacing basso changed sud-
denly to a lifting, seductive tenor.
AS concessions from a great ma
ton to a small one, the offerings
were cheap enough-a trade pact,
return of handful of prisoners
grabbed in border skirmishes, will
lingness to discuss border disputes
and promise to talk about $40
million in gold and foreign cur
rency held in Moscow since the
war, and due Iran for services rem
dered to occupation forces.
This gesture from "our great
northern neighbor" was a pre-
cious thing to Iranians.
Infallible Timing.
Two things are especially in
tereSting about this Soviet pack
age offer. which has since been
largely implemented during
months of talks.
The first is its infallible timing
to bring about an upsurge of pro-
Soviet feeling when most needed
and in an area where a peace Of
fensive-needed eventually to Sc
cure intact. if possible, the great
Persian Gulf oilfields-can serve
the Kremlin's ends far better than
war.
The second is the ironic fact
that the pro-Soviet trend began
at a time when Persia was con-
sidered snugly within the Anglo
fold and has developed
during a Teheran regime which,
at its accession, was hailed as anti
Soviet and pro-American.
Last summer the Korean war
had started, but no one worried
much about Iran. Fresh on the
scene was Prime Minister Hail Ali
Razmara. with his known anti
Communist views and his program
for democratic reforms. It was
widely said that American influ-
ence had edged him into power
Some papers referred to him as
"the American prime minister. "
His cabinet was called "the Amer
lean cabinet"
Ambassador Henry F. Grady was
also fresh on the scene. He had
just come from Greece, where,
with judiciously applied economic
and technical assistance, he had

It has been gge st ed by a
reader who was kind en6dgh to
tell me that my "Gay Nineties"
"reminiscences last week were
interesting that I add this note
to the evenings at Miss Bald

were youthful visitors present at
the meetings. The Dedham twins,
Eddie and Ernie Gould, often ac-
companied sister Medora as es-
corts and young Bessie Trotter
sometimes came across the
Charles with her brother and
sister. And these youngsters
would get in a corner and enjoy
themselves hugely giggling and
swapping stories totally disin-
terested in the erudite conversa-
ton of their elders. These meet
ings led to an early, but brief ro-
nance between Ernie (long since
deceased) and Bessie who was
perhaps his first "girl'. !. On

her frequent business trips to

Founders Day
-At Shaw House

"The sea has washed those
graves away" said the Rt. Rev.
Norman B. Nash, telling in a
historic address at the Founders
Day banquet Of the Robert Gould
Shaw House Tuesday night of
last week in Maria Baldwin Hall,
of his visit to South Carolina to
see the place at Fort Wagner
where Robert Gould Shaw and
his gallant men fell. In an en-
tightening message on being a
good neighbor, Bishop Nash said.
Robert Gould Shaw was a good
neighbor." He also paid tribute
to Shaw's sister, Mrs. Josephine
Shaw Lowell who found N. Y.
her field of endeavor; mentioned
the important work done by the
Rev. David Leroy Ferguson in
France during World War I;
noted the undying contribution
of founding mothers and con-
cerned the audience with the in
scription on that magnificent
piece of sculpture opposite the
State House known the world
over as TIE Shaw Monument.
Victor Kerr, former Shaw W
House boy, lowered above the
assemblage as he rose to speak
of his past association with the
House. The future DR.. Kerr
(now at Boston University y
studying for his doctorate) is
making an outstanding contribu-
ton to the welfare of the masses.
The Rev. Howard P. Kellett,
president of the Shaw House
Council, was master of cere-
monies for the occasion. He is a
Chaplain at Charlestown Prison
and an executive secretary of
the Episcopal Church.
Serving as chairman at the
banquet was Rev. George Ly-
man Paine, who with Harold
Peabody, treasurer since the in
ception of the work, and Robert
Treat Paine Jr., its first presi-
dent, form the triumarate of
living founders.
Special tribute was paid to Mr..
Peabody for his years of devoted
service, by Morris R. Taylor in
his annual report. Not only was
Mr.. Peabody a pioneer leader and
first treasurer, but he is also
president and treasurer Of
Breezy Meadows Camp, Inc, an
affiliate organization of the Shaw
House.
The glorious music of the Shaw
House Chorus conducted by
Darnley Leon Corbin added
greatly to the success of the eve
ming. They sang "Give Me Your
Tired" "Sit Down Sinner,
"Clank, Clank on the Anvil. {.

encore, Onward Ye Peoples.

politicians scof at the idea that
anybody but Mr.. Truman will

The President referred briefly
to the 1852 campaign in an in

Democratic leaders from various

A constitutional amendment in

future Presidents may have been
ratified by the necessary 36 States

The restriction would not apply
to the incumbent. Whether Mr..
Truman would feel bound by it
anyway. is something else.
The President will be 81 on
May 8, and will have served nearly
eight years when his term ends on
January 20, 1858. He came into
