The possibility was raised to-
day that lack Of interest may pre-
vent the writing Of proper new
Defense Production Act by the
time the present measure expires
on June 80.
The Defense Production Act
contains the provisions for price
and wage controls.
Chairman Maybank Of the Sem
ate Banking Committee brought
up the question whether it might
be necessary to extend the present
act for go or 80 days with some
amendments on which agreement
could be obtained quickly. The
Congress would have time to work
out a thorough revision Of the
measure. the job on which it is
now engaged.
The bill now considered would
extend the act for two years.
Cites Specific Proposal.
During a committee hearing yes
terday, Senator Maybank called
attention to the fact that time is
running short. and he said diff
f1culties might be met in obtaining
agreement on some of the proposed
changes. He cited specifically the
proposal to include commercial
rents in rent control provision
which has not been in control
measures before.
There is not much interest in
this bill on the part of the public, ;
he said. People don't realize the
seriousness of the situation we
are in. I am judging this only by
my own mail"
He showed a long list of or
ganizations that have asked to be
heard on the rewriting of the
act. "All these people are going
to be against it," he said.
A number of administration
witnesses who have appeared be-
fore the committee have warned
against letting the present level
ing off of prices lull the Natior
into a feeling of complacency
They have cautioned that the real
linflationary pressures will come
in a few months. when money
will be spent at the rate of al
most 81 billion a week on de-
fense production.
Might Effect Farm Prices.
| During the hearing. Senator
Maybank said it would be hare
to get a bill passed and that he
did not know whether there woule
be a law after June 80. He said
later, however. that what he hac
meant was that Congress might
fail to write proper bill by then
/ The Senator suggested to Price
Stabilizer Michael v. Disable, who
appeared before the committee
that a quick amendment in 8
I60-t -90-day extension of the act
might affect ceilings on farm
prices.
The present act provides there
shall be no ceilings on farm
prices below parity or below thu
highest price to producers in the
month before the Korean War
Senator Maybank suggested thu
act be amended to prohibit CELL
ing that would be below parity
or below the January February
price level. He asked Mr.. DiSall,
what the effect would be of that

British Note Expected
To Propose New Talks

LONDON, May Is P.-Britain
was completing today the draft
of new proposals for settlement
of its oil dispute with Iran, after
consultations with the United
States.
A Foreign Office spokesman said
the note will be sent to Teheran
either late today or tomorrow.
Informed sources said the note
will be firm, and will propose
sending a high-level mission to
Iran to talk settlement of issues
raised by Trans determination to
nationalize the huge Anglo
Iranian Oil Co.
British officials feel they have
strong backing of the United
States in their latest move. But
they shy away from claiming any
American commitment of support
If Britain decides it is necessary
to use force to protect British
lives and property in Iran.
Secretary of State Acheson said
today there is plenty of oppor-
tunity for Great Britain and Iran
to work out harmoniously Their
differences and that the United
States is constantly exchanging
views with the British, but is not
approving or disappearing any
specific steps that might be taken

Teheran Police Seize
MosIem Terrorist in
Threat 10 Iran Premier
BY the Assoeiuied Press

TEEERAN, Iran. May ia
Moslem terrorist was arrested aft
er a gun battle today with police,
who said he was plotting to assas-
sinate Premier F. Mohammed
Mossadegh.
The Moslem was identified as
Abolghassem Raflee. the No. 2
man in Fedayan Islam, the fanat-
ical religious secret society which
is held responsible for the slay-
ing of Premier Ali Razmara in
March.
Premier MosSadegh has taken
refuge behind locked doors in Par
lament, fearing threats against
his life.
Lucky I'm Caught"
Police quoted Rafiee as saying
"Mossadegh is lucky I am caught.
Otherwise he would have been
shot within the next two or three
days"
This was the latest incident in
reStive Teheran. The Parliament's
action in Matchmaking the Anglo
Iranian Oil Co. has focused world
attention once more on this poten-
tial trouble spot in East-West re-
lationS.
Tempers are running high. An
editor who is a close adviser to
Mossadegh says Blitons face a
"holy war" if they try to obstruct
naturalization.
Editorial Threat.
The threat was carried today in
an editorial in the newspaper
Shahed. The editor, Mo Saffar
Baghaie, is a National Front men,
ber of Parliament and one of the
closest advisers of Premier F. Mo-
hammed MosSadegh,
This was the most violent of the
press reaction to wholly uncon-
f1rmed reports that Britain plans
to send parachute troops to tl%
Iranian oilf1elds. Western diplo-
mats here took Shahed's threat
with a grain of salt. but the cam
paign is in line with Mossadegh's
tactics in rushing through the oil
naturalization bill-with vague
warnings of unspecified trouble if
the bill were blocked.

Redskins Back Home,
Plan Light Workouts
For Packers Game
By Lewis T. Atchison

The Redskins are back in town,
having arrived this morning after
two months of training, 5000 miles
of travelling and six exhibition
games (three won, three lost).
| First on the squads schedule was
the big welcoming luncheon staged
by the Touchdown Club at the
Hotel Statler. After that, the
team will continue its work with
light practices at American Uni
lversity this afternoon and tomor-
row morning in preparation for
Sundays exhibition against the
Green Bay Packers at Alexandria.
It'll be a colorful but erratic
crew against the Packers in the
Jack Tulloch memorial game SUM-
day, and the entire season may
follow the same pattern. The
Redskins could be one of the most
dangerous teams in the league, but
they figure to blow some games
they should win because of blund-
Iers.
Leon Heath from Oklahoma, the
clubs No. l draft choice, will make
his debut against the Packers, and
while Coach Herman Ball expects
him to make q favorable differ
ence in the offerse, he knows Leon
isn't ready to start in high gear.
Heath hasn't seen action since he
was injured in the All Stars train
ing camp last month and is still
rather unfamiliar with the signals.
On the crippled list as the squad
returned are Jim Station, rookie
tackle from Wake Forest; Laurie
Niemi, veteran tackle, and Ed
Quirk, line-backer who was in
ljured against the Chicago Bears in
Kansas City Wednesday night.
Station may not play at all this
year. 1t will be decided next week
whether to operate Immediately
to get him ready for 1852, or try
to save him for a few games this
season. Niemi's knee will be put
in a steel brace, with an operation
planned Immediately after the
final game.
