informed sources said today.
The offer will be contained in a
note to Iran expected to be sent
tomorrow. 1t will urge Iran to
negotiate a settlement, the in
formantS said.
While the Foreign Office was
putting the note into final form,
the War Office was whipping into
readiness 4,000-man parachute
brigade. There was speculation
that this highly mobile force
known as the fire brigade" be-
cause of its use in emergencies

British lives and property, if
necessary.
Inoculations Given Troops.
But both the Foreign Office and
the War Office refused to specu-
late on the reason for the sudden
call to the 10th Independent Para
chute Brigade Group to be ready
for Operation Unknown"
Leaves were Cancelled over the
Whitsun week end holiday. The
brigade now is 95 per cent assem-
bled at Aldershot. Medical in
spections and inoculationS were
given some troopers today. Others
were doing practice parachute
drops from planes.
A War Office spokesman said no
departure orders had been given
the parachutists.
Officials said Britain has con-
suited the United States on its
latest moves to save the Giant
British oil concession from being
taken over by the Iranian gov
eminent.
Showdown Seen Near.
Many British officials believe
the dispute is rapidly approach
ing a showdown.
Iran has nationalized it's oil re-
sources and has set up a joint
parliamentary board to take over
the nglo-Iranian Oil Co., oper-
ator of a rich oil concession along
the Persian Gulf.
The British government owns
more than half of the common
stock Of the company. which sup
plies about 80 per cent of Britain's
oil, and much of the fuel for the

years in the service to prevent
war" DR.. Dreese told some TOO
parents.
II implore you not to add to tie
difficulties they face by giving
them too much sympathy. In my

the privilege Of living in our great
democracy"

Potronesses of Chamber Music Here
Honored During Month of October
By Alice Eversmon

for all the concerts to be heard in
their entirety in other cities.
The Commissioning of Composers,
The programs sponsored by
both the Coolidge and the Whit
tall Foundations have not en-
icroached upon each other. Mrs.
Coolidge. whose chamber music
IbenefactionS have extended to
Europe as well, has specialized
in commissioning composers to
write new music and the holding
Iof prize competitions periodically.
Many of the prize winning COM
positions have been performed at
the Library concerts and the
valuable manuscripts of these and
other works heard at her Berk-
shire Festivals have been given
to the Library Music Division.
Mrs. Whittall has never commits
STONED any works nor has she
permitted any dedicationS to be
made to her. But she has enriched
the Library by acquiring and do
mating priceless autographed mu-
Isical scores and autographed let
terS of great composers. Her
generosity has operated in the
field of poetry as we'll. with many
choice editions bought by her and
an attractive room furnished by
her for their enjoyment.
How widespread is the influence
Of the concerts sponsored by these
two celebrated patronesSes of
music on the cultural development
of the country is known best to
those in the Library who help to
make them function. In 1914 the
then librarian, Archibald Mac
Leish, presented Mrs. Coolidge "a
declaration of public gratitude-a
kind of Acknowledgement of debt
on her 80th birthday. The dec
laration, signed by the President
and officers of the Government as
Sociated with and responsible for
the Library's administration. con-
cluded with the words Elizabeth
Sprague Coolidge has done what
none before her had found the
means to do-she has given the
music on the shelves of the
Library living voice and let the
people hear it,"
Last April the 18th anniversary
of the founding of the Gertrude
Clarke Whittall Foundation was
observed. After a resume of all
that had been accomplished, Mr..
Evans. the librarian, said: The
lady who has wrought the superb
fusion of artists. instruments and
holographs stands beside me now,
her ideals undimmed, her enthu-
siasms undiminished. her intrinsic
.modesty unchanged by the miracle
which steady purpose and the
useful years have worked. She is
more than a patron. she is herself
a maker of wonders. Our graft
tude is strong and sure and per-
manent."
