Iran S Shah Will Sell
His Land 10 Peasants;
Parliament Fight Seen
BY the Associated Press

TEHERAN, Iran, Jan. 90
Trans landed young Shah, Mo-
manned Reza Pahlevi, has an
nounced that he will sell his vast
holdings to the peasants-a move
sure to win him their support. 1t
also is certain to arouse bitter
opposition in Parliament, 80 per
cent of whose deputies are big
estate owners themselves.
Western diplomats regard the
decree as the most statesmanlike
act in the 32-year-old rulers eight
years on the throne, especially if
he uses his influence to push
through legislation aimed at
breaking up the Semifeudal estates
of private landowners.
80 Per Cent in Want.
Fewer than 800 families control
most. of the wealth and land in
this ancient country, while 80 per
cent of her Is million people are
illiterate, ill-fed and ill-housed.
This medieval set-up makes
strategic, oil-rich Iran one of the
most vulnerable spots on Russia's
perimeter.
Progressive elements in Iran
have long urged land reform as
a counter to attacks against the
nations ruling class by the Soviet
radio and the underground Tudeh
(Communist) Party.
Owns 1000 Villages. ,
Government sources estimate
that the Shah's estates include
some 1000 villages with surround
ing farmland supporting more
than 100000 peasants.
Hitherto the Shah has turned
the revnue from the estates over
to state charities. A royal proc
lamation broadcast by the state
radio yesterday said the ruler had
decided that sale of the lands on
long-term installments to the
peasants would be more to the
national interest than supporting
charities.

AL Lopez knows now how Lou
Boudreau felt every time Eddie
Lopat pitched against the In
dians.
Twice this season the new Cleve-
land pilot has looked on help
lessly as the crafty Yankee left
handler tied his boys into knots.
How does he do it?" Lopez
asked before last nights game.
IT just can't figure out why he
beats us so regularly. He's no

Some 212 hours later. Lopat had
added another to his long string
Iof victories over the Indians. his
Ifavorite people. The score was
|11-4, and Lopez still was cropping
for the answer because everything
had gone wrong for the Indians.
The victory enabled the Yanks
to increase their lead over runner
up Washington to 21a games.
Action picks UP in both leagues
today as st. Louis, Chicago and
Detroit invade the American
Leagues Eastern cities for the
first time this year. Meanwhile,
Eastern clubs in the National
League play their first games in
the West, with the Dodgers and
Cubs engaging in the only after
noon game.
Lopat wasn't exactly brilliant
against the Indians. He surren-
dered only six hits. but two of
them were home runs by George
Stirnweiss and Jim Hogan. The
largest crowd of the major league
season. 66.265, paid fans wit
messed the game.
The Indians whacked the ball
and far. but nearly always there
was some Yankee in front of it.
On several occasions Lopat need
ed fancy fielding to pull him out
of holes. Shortstop Phil Rizzuto
came up with two or three spec
tacular fielding plays.
On the other hand, everything
the Indians did went wrong. In
the very first inning, Sam Chap
man, newest of the Indians, played
a looper by Gil McDougald into
an inside-the- park homer. Later
Mickey Mantle got a double on a
routine single" to center. In the
seventh. Joe Di Maggie scored

Clubs Speed Efforts
10 Cut Their Rosters
AS DeadIine Nears
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, May 15.-Major
league baseball clubs sharpened
their pruning knives and trading
wits today in a rush to get within
the 25-player limit before tomor-
rows midnight deadline.
Half of the 16 teams already
have trimmed their rosters but
the other half have work to do
in the next couple Of days. Chief
of these are the Yankees. with
three surplus men, and the Cardi-
nails, with four.
The Yankees are reported anx-
ious to pull a 3-for-1 or 4-for-1
deal to land the Athletics south
paw pitcher. Bobby Shantz, or
First Baseman Ferris Fain. So
far the AS aren't nibbling.
The Yanks and Cards figured
in yesterdays biggest maneuvers
with the aging and flu-plagued
Cardinals coming out of the shuttle
with the best-looking hand.
New York sent Billy johnson,
veteran third baseman, to the
Cardinals for reported $4,000
lin cash and Don Bollweg, first
baseman. The latter was excess
baggage and so the Yankees
quickly ordered him to their Kan
sas City farm.
Plugging some more holes. the
Cardinals also called back Vernal
(Nippy) Jones, good-hitting vet
eran first baseman. from Roches-
ter and sent the Red Wings Don
Richmond, third baseman.
The Athletics and Pirates also
have % on their rosters while the
Phillies and Indians have q. The
Giants and Dodgers have to un-
load one player,
Clubs already within the limit
are Cincinnati. Boston and Chi
cago in the National League; Chi
cago, Boston, st. Louis and De-
troit and Washington in the
American.
Here's the chubby club break
down:
AMERICAN LEAGUE.
New York (28)-Probably lop
off two pitchers. with Frank Shea
and Joe Ostrowski a guess. and
Catcher Ralph Houk. Prefers a
deal.
Philadelphia (28) Pitchers
Hank Wyse and Ed Burtschy and
Infielders Billy Hitchcock and Lou
Limmer candidates for the knife.
Cleveland (2D-Two pitchers to

Jesse Flores or Johnny Wander
Nicer will be the other.
Boston (25) - Already inside

catcher.
