Iran Firm in Opposing
Intervention by u. n.
In Dispute Over Oil
By the Assoeioisd Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Oct.
13.-NeW Iranian opposition to
any Security Council intervention
in the British-Iranian oil dispute
clouded United States efforts to-
day to find a solution to the prob
lem.
The council hsa scheduled a
meeting for Monday to consider a
British resolution.
The United States has an
nounced its support of the British
draft, and has been urging it on
others.
But the Iranian spokesman,
Deputy Premier Hossein Fatemi,
said last night that the Security
Council has no business in the
dispute. He has rejected any,
thing other than direct negotia-
tionS with the British for COM
pensation on the Anglo -Iranian
oil properties, and then only on
the basis of the new oil nationali-
zation laws in Iran.
Reject Neutral" Board.
Fatemi also rejected a proposal
by the International Cooperative
Petroleum Association for "neu-
trail board to administer the
Iran Oil properties.
He left one avenue open.
He said if any government or
individual would serve as middle
man. Iran would consider re-
sumption of talks with Britain.
But he insisted repeatedly that
the Security Council must take the
stand that it has no Jurisdiction.
The British resolution not only
calls on the Security Council to
ratify an International Court
recommendation in the dispute,
but to make resumption of talks
a council project. The court de-
clslon recommended that Iran hold
up its oil naturalization program
until there could be such talks.
lranian Support Seen.
Because of Trans protest at the
implied stigma that the court
decision threw on Iran in the
dispute, there was strong indi-
cation that at least four countries
might side with the Iranian view
and decide that the council had
no right to sit in Judgment.
India, Russia, Yugoslavia and
CHINA were rumored to be taking
that stand. Some sources re-
ported Ecuador was on the fence |
The United States has been
trying to get across the idea that
a general declaration by the Secur-
ity Council that the talks should
resume-would be an effective
instrument for reopening them.

Finnegan Surrenders
In St. Louis 10 Face
Bribery Case Trial
BY the Associated Press

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 13.-James P.
Finnegan, former st. Louis inter-
nal revenue collector and personal
friend of President Truman, sur
rendered today on a f1ve-count
Federal indictment charging him
with accepting bribes and with
misconduct in office.
The er-haired, nattily dressed
Mr.. Finnegan was in good spirits
as he appeared at the Federal
Building. where his attorney and
a bondsman were waiting, He
posted a $4,000 bond.
Arrived From Washington.
Mr.. Finnegan arrived here only
last night from Washington
where he had been a central fig
ure in a congressional investiga-
ton into reported corruption in
the Governments tax-gathering
agency.
The genial 5O-year-old lawyer
chatted with reporters as he sur
rendered, but he refused to make
any statement. He said that he
wanted to confer with his attorney
first. His attorney, former United
States District Attorney David M
Robinson. was waiting for him
at the Federal Building.
Mr.. Finnegan was fingerprinted
by Deputy United States Marshal
Les Dawson and taken before
United States Commissioner Ed
win j. Bean to post the bond.
Mr.. Bean told Mr.. Finnegan
since the bond was returnable in
the court of United States Dis
trict Judge George H. Moore he
must report in that court Mon
day for arraignment. Judge
Moore was the key figure in press
ing the grand jury investigation
leading to Mr.. Finnegan's indict-
ment.
Judge Disqualified Himself.
The 73-year-old jurist has dis
qualified himself from hearing the
case.
A Federal grand jury indicted
Finnegan on five counts, two of
them charging him with taking
$500 in checks from a garment
firm which had a tax delinquency
case pending. The other counts
charge him with violating a law
by accepting pay for services from
parties involved in controversies
with the Government.
The case was referred to Judge
Archibald K, Gardner, chief judge
OF the 9th Federal Court of APP
peals. who will select a jurist to
hear the trial.

House Unit Approves
Flat 1917 Pay Rise for
All Service Personnel

A fiat 10 per cent pay raise for
all members of the armed forces
from top to bottom, including re-
tired personnel, has been ap-
proved by House subcommittee
and sent to the House Armed
Services Committee for action.
The full committee will meet
probably Tuesday and may agree
to the proposal, sending the bill
to the House, according to re-
liable indications today.
The subcommittee gave it's ap-
proval to the 10 per cent across
-the-board increase yesterday
after hearing a Chicago banker
and industrialist recommend the
plan.
$500 Limitation Criticized.
Lawrence Whiting, a member
of commission that worked out
the present military pay scale,
told the subcommittee that the
pending Defense Department pro-
posal providing a 10 per cent in
crease with an $500 maximum
would mean a raise of only 5 to
8 per cent for higner-ranking
officers.
Mr.. Whiting said he learned
long ago that when raises were
handed out, every one, including
the boss, should get the benefit.
The subcommittee amended the
pending bill striking out the $500
maximum. making the increase
straight 10 per cent for everybody.
Vinson Support Expected.
Chairman Vinson of the Armed
Services Committee, who is out
OF the city over the week end, is
known to favor the 10 per cent
raise and is expected to support
it at the regular meeting of his
unit scheduled for Tuesday.
Whether the measure can be
approved by the House, II sent
to the floor by the full committee,
depends on the rush of business
during next week, while Congress
speeds toward anticipated ad-
journment by next Saturday.
Could Be Called Up.
The measure could be called up
under suspension of rules or Chair
man Vinson might 60 before the
Rules Committee for a special
rule giving the bill a green light
for floor action.
Prospects for final action by
Congress before quitting next
week, however. will depend on the
Senate, where a heavy program al
ready is scheduled. Some OBJ
servers feel there is little likeli-
hood that the bill can be sent
Ito the White House before the end
of this session,

Narcotics Case Fails
As Court Rules Arrest
On Tip Unwarranted

District Court Judge Burnits
Shelton Matthews yesterday threw
out evidence against mar
charged with narcotic law viola.
tions in case where agents re.
ported they had seized an un.
usually large amount Of a mar.
Icotic.
Judge Matthews upheld a de.
Ifense motion that information re.
Iceived by the authorities was not
sufficient to constitute probable
cause" for the arrest and search
of the defendant, Joseph J
Bearer. ST. of New York.
The court was informed that
narcotic agents had received in
formation that a man named
Joe" was en- route lere from New
York to meet known narcotic
addict and that Joe might pos
sibly have narcotics with him
This information, Judge Matthews
held. was insufficient to arrest
Bearer and search him.
Bearer arrived here by airplane
from New York last July and was
traced by agents to the 1400 block
of N street NV, where he was
arrested. Narcotic agents and
police seized more than TOO grains
OF a mixture containing a mar
cotic and milk sugar, they re-
ported.
Bearer was indicted on charges
OF illegal possession and trans
portation Of a narcotic.
AS a result Of Judge Matthews
ruling. the Government probably
will have to drop the case. &C.
Icording to Assistant United States
Attorney John c. Conliff, jr. The
ruling, Mr.. Conliff said. will moi
permit the prosecution to use the
seized narcotic as evidence.

New Virginia District
Is Likely 10 Consist
OF Areas Near D. T.,
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Oct. 13.-Virgin-
las new congressional district will
be carved out of the present 9th
district in Northern Virginia and
the lines of the present I'd and Sd
congressional districts will be
altered.
That's about all the State Re-
districting Commission would say
after a meeting here yesterday
The commissions Recommended
tions for the States 10th district
will be ready November IS.
The new district probably will
consist of Arlington and Fairfax
Counties, Alexandria and possibly
Prince William County.
Pleased With Progress.
Delegate Roy B. Davis of Hall
fax. commission chairman. SAID
he was pleased with the progress
the commission has made. He re-
fused to say specifically what re-
apportionment the commission
had agreed on.
But. he added, there doesn't I
seem to be any question that
Virginia's new 10th congressional
district will be carved from the
northeast corner of the present
9th district near Washington.
IL appeared that virtually every
one OF the nine commission mem
oers-one from each congressional
dlStrict-had a redistricting plan
OF his own in his brief case at
the session.
And a member of the group
indicated later that most mem
bers kept watchful eyes on their
own political fence lines as bound
ary shifts were discussed.
Redistricting is duty that
falls in the General Assembly
every 10 years on the basis of the
decennial Federal census.
Population 3.318,680.
Virginia's population growth
now 3.3l8,6SO according to the
1850 census-entitles the State to-
an additional Congressman. And
oy constitutional edict, the State s.
congressional districts must be
composed of compact and con-
tiguous territory containing as
nearly as practicable an equal
number Of inhabitants"
That means that the commits
ion must make adequate recon-
nendations to the General AS
'embly for legislation insofar as
districts are con-
The Legislature didn't fill
he bill in this respect in 1882 and
he State Supreme Court tossed
out the statute, resulting in the
election Of Virginia's nine Con-
yressmen-at-large that year.
So. in addition to making rec
concentrations on the new 10th
the recommended legisla-
ton that emerges from the COM
doubtless will juggle the
of some other districts
to bring district populations more
in balance.
