Text of Truman Letter

these discussicas should start with
out delay.
We have the utmost hope that
the British government is able to
send to Teheran without delay or
interval qualified representatives
with full power to be prepared to
discuss and reach a solution with
the Iranian government precise
proposals In conformity with the
principles of naturalization of
oil accepted by Mr.. Morrison Brit
ish Foreign Secretary in his
speech in the British House Of
Commons May %.
In my opinion, although the in
Ivitation of the Iranian govern
lment for discussions has been
addressed to the AIOC, the Iran
ian government has hinted that
she will have no objection If the
oil company's representatives be
representatives of the British gov
ernment also.
I know that you are fully aware
I of the serious consequences o1
the present explosive situation and
/ am sure that you know the
depth of my anxiety regarding this
difference that no action be taken
which could result in a lack o1
agreement between Iran and the
| free world.
I am sure that a solution car
be found acceptable to Iran anc
Great Britain.
sincerely hope every effort will
be made to reach this aim.

proposal to send his preserved
body-recently enclosed in a glass
and silver case-at least tempo
rarily to Venice, thus making his
words of nearly so years ago come
true.

secration today of a new Roman

 The Fireman Ball to be given this week on Saturday night will begin the Independ- ence Day celebration in Seward. Ladies are. asked to wear their costumes. Formal dresses will also be in order, or since the dance is optional, the girls may wear street clothes if they pre- fer.
 Let them wear slacks if they want to, some firemen say. Anything, just so the ladies get to the dance. This is one time when the firemen want as many women around as possible. When they are fighting fires, they would prefer to have the women at home.

TWO MEN LOST OFF GAINES HEAD SUNDAY PM.

TWO newcomers to Seward lost their lives Sunday when their small boat capslzed off Gaines Head, while on fishing trip in Resurrection Bay.
 The drowned men were Ed red R. (TeX) Abrams, 39, and Frank Matousek, aged 28. Alp rams was an electrician with the B and B gang, ARR, Matousek, electricians helper in the same group. Another railroad man, Lester MiZe, radio technician, and Robert Abrams, the 12 year old son of Tex Abrams saw the father drown, helpless to pre- vent the tragedy.
 According to MiZe, the three men and boy had borrowed a II foot Skiff with outbOard mo- tor a fishing trip down the Bay. They were off Gaines Head, about s miles from town Wnln they came across a SWamped dory in the water They were trying to bail out the boat with the idea of towing it home eWhen their own boat was capSized in a cross current. All four were thrown into the cold water, which is seldom over 10 degrees at this time of the year.
 The boy climbed into the sWamped boat, his father and Mize clung to the capsizld skiff. Matousek, after attempting to get into the boat with Robert, and finding that it would not float with his added weight, tried to swim to shore with the aid of an empty gas drum. The shore must have been over mile away, Mize said, and he later caught sight of the can, but did not see Matousek.
 Numbed by the cold water and worried for the safety of his son, Abrams became quickly exhaust ed and started to sink. Mize said he was able to keep the mans head above the water, by hold ing his hand for a while, but he lost his grip and the man sank from sight. They did not see him again.
 Mize and the boy chung to the boat for seven hours, until they were able to attract the attention of the freighter George Olson, outward bound. They were pick ed up and returned to Seward at 1:15 Monday morning.
 The freighter George Olson is owned by the Olson Steamship Company of San Francisco. It is under charter to the Alaska Steamship Company and had discharged cargo in Seward.
 Dick Thomas searched the shoreline with his plane from 2:45 until APO am. He spotted what might have been the gas drum, he reported, but saw noth- ing else. Two planes were sent out by the 30th Typographical Engineers Battalion and several boats cruised the shores all day but nothing more was seen of the two men. Bodies are seldom ever recovered from Resurrec- tion Bay. It is extremely deep
