playing off Russia against the
West in an effort to gain support
for his country both in the oil
controversy and for economic as
sistance. Mr.. Grady said:
Il compare him to a child who
stands before a red-hot stove
with his hand right here but
looking over his shoulder to see
II his papa is going to grab him
before he puts his hand on the
stove. I think there is a feeling
that papa is going to grab him, or
uncle is going to grab him before
it Is too, late. So. I suppose the
next thing may be a situation
which may call for some emer-
gency treatment in terms Of eco
nomic assistance"
Mr.. Grady warned that eco
nomic collapse and internal con-
fusion in Iran could lead to a
successful Communist coup d'etat
in Iran, "if the confusion were
sufficiently great"
He added that II the Russians
succeeded in gaining control of
Iran they "can then easily 90

die East where the Iranian stand
against the British is making the
Arab countries independent the
way the Iranians are becoming
independent"

The girl also told county investi-
gators that Nelson and his hench-

She was quoted by the prose-
cutor as stating:
The Nelson employees were
shifted around frequently in

up at their homes and sometimes
would be driven to Nelson's farm
at Ritchie. sometimes to his Uncle

a casino there, or the Ranch
House near North Beach.
Counting Done in Taverns.
On other occasions, she said, the
counting was done at a Seat
Pleasant tavern Or a tavern in
Bladensburg.
In Washington, Assistant United
States Attorney John w. Fihelly,
the top racket buster here, ex-
pressed interest in the county dis
closures but said since the witness
was not mentioned by name, he
was uncertain whether she has
information not already in pos

if he did know this, he would be
unable to comment because all

lowing suppression of a brief and
abortive Columbus Day revolt.
An official statement said seven

Grady Thinks British
Were Wrong 10 Take
Oil Crisis Before u. n,
by the Assoeioisd Press

Henry F. Grady, former United
States Ambassador to Iran, said
today he thinks the British made
"a great mistake" in taking the
Anglo -Iranian oil controversy to
the United Nations.
II think the British have given
Mr.. Mossadegh the chance Of a
great forum to tell the world how
this oil company has oppressed
the Iranian people, how Western
capitalism is tending to control and
possibly destroy other countries In
the underdeveloped parts Of the
world" Mr.. Grady added.
I'm Magazine Interview.
Mr.. Grady expressed his views
in a copyrighted interview with
the magazine U. s. News and
World Report.
He criticized the British for
breaking off negotiations with the
Iranian government, and for
strategy" which he said was
aimed at pushing Mr.. Mossadegh
out Of power.
This, along with the British
move shifting the oil controversy
to the U.N., he said. had "solidi-
fed" Iran behind Mossadegh in
his determination to nationalize
the British oil holdings at any
cost.
MOssadegh Blames Allies.
Recalling that he once told the
1ranian Prime Minister that
through such a policy the prime
minister was leading the coun-
try down the path to ruin" Mr..
Grady quoted him as replying:
"n we go communist, it will
be the British fault and your (the
United States) fault"
However, Mr.. Grady said, he
thinks Mr.. Mossadegh is opposed
to Communism and would prob
ably be as unhappy about Iran
going behind the Iron Curtain as
any body in Iran." He added:
yet, If he were working for
Russia. he couldn't be helping her
anymore than he is doing"

The National Independent Meat
Packers Association today faced a
challenge by Price Stabilizer Mi
chael v. Disable to help make meat
price controls work.
He charged that the association,
in opposing slaughter quotas, was
trying to destroy controls.
In a letter to c. B. Heineman,
president Of the association, he
said the meat industry knows, and
many have acknowledged. that
quotas are indispensable to fair
and workable controls. His letter
was in reply to one from Mr.
Heineman urging the decontrol OF
meat.
Mr.. Heinemann's letter followed
publication by Mr.. DiSalle's office
lof a bulletin by Wilbur LaRoe
Washington counsel of the associ-
alton. which the Office of Price
Sterilization interpreted as a cal
to slaughterers to oppose quotas
as means Of killing controls.

American desire for peaceful

the B-29 strength in Germany
from one squadron to a group.
He said that the British had been
asked whether they would like to
have two additional B-29 groups

Douglas (American Ambassador

whether he had fully explored

arrival of these two groups in
Britain upon British public opin-
ion. and he (MarshalD had to
weigh the effect (a) on the Rus

sending these groups to Britain.
He said the effect on the Rus

an appropriate time in the future,
presumably when a constituent
assembly for a Western German

Berlin by convoy or using force
in some other manner, such ac-
ton to be only as a last resort
after utilizing all diplomatic and
other means to stay in Berlin
without force to avoid war, but

as a consequence if necessary.

every diplomatic
