American proposals for settle
ment of the British-Iranian oil
controversy on a practical busi-
ness" basis were made public
today.
Iranian Prime Minister Mossa-
degh was told such a settlement,
giving Iran control of her strategic
oil industry, is possible and
feasible" with mutual good will.
The American proposals and a
plea for their reconsideration by
Iran were contained in letter
to Mr.. MoSsadegh by w. Averell
Hartman, special foreign affairs
assistant to President Truman.
Mr.. Hartman refused to pass
on to Britain a 15-day Iranian
ultimatum for reopening the dead
locked oil negotiations, as Mr..
MosSadegh had asked him to do
in letter dated last Wednesday.
because it would ''only further
aggravate an already serious
situation"
Letter Made Public.
The Mossadegh ultimatum letter
and Mr.. Harriman's reply, dated
last Saturday, were made public
here by the State Department at
the same time they were published
by the Iranian government in
Teheran.
Mr.. Hartman urged anew a
three-point basis for settlement of
the crisis resulting from Trans
naturalization of her oil industry
that had been developed by the
British government controlled
Anglo o-Iranian OH Co. He had
vainly proposed the same things
in Teheran last month. Reports
from Teheran give little hope they
will be accepted now.
The American proposals call for:
/. Employment of a "compe-
tent" "integrated" organization
rather than hiring of individual

1ran-to operate the Iranian oil
industry under control of the Ma
tional Oil Co. of Iran, which has
been set UP by the Iranian govern
ment.
2. Recognition that payment of
compensation to Britain for her
nationalized property must depend
on efficient operation of the oil
industry to assure that its pro-
ducts continue available for sale
In world markets.
There must be more than will
ingness to pay" Mr.. Hartman
wrote. There must be the abil-
ity to do so in an effective form. ;"
3. Arrangements for the British
to sell the Iranian oil abroad on a
long-term contract. only they"
Mr.. Hartman pointed out" have
the great transportation facilities
needed to carry the oil from Iran
to its markets. where only they
have the necessary distribution IA
cilities for it"
Two Proposals. Tmpracticable.'
Mr.. Hartman bluntly told the
1ranian Prime Minister that his
ultimatum proposals were largely
the same as those rejected by the

British last month because they
did not conform to practical and
commercial aspects of the interna-
tional oil industry"
He stressed the "impracticabil-
Iity" of two Mossadegh proposals
in particular.
One was to continue to employ
British technicians as individuals.
Mr.. Hartman said the Large and
complex" oil industry could not
be operated efficiently ION the
basis of a number of section heads
reporting to board of directors,
with no single individual being
given executive authority"
Also hit was a Mossadegh pro-
posal to sell the British 10 million
tons of oil a year-the amount
of Iranian oil previously used by

tions with the British) can soon
be resumed"
He added:
II believe that the problem
with which Iran and Great Brit
ain are confronted can be settled
only by negotiations based upon
recognition of the practical busi-
ness and technical aspects of the
OH industry and based upon mu-
tual good will between the parties
"Such settlement which would
attain Iranian aspirations foI
contro. of the oil industry within
Iran is, I am convinced. possible
and feasible in accordance with
the discussions we have had ir
Iran and the comments I have
made"

All Montgomery Laws
Before Charter Void,
Gambler Contends
By Gene Goodwin

A contention that could have
the effect of voiding all Mont
gomery County laws existing be-
fore the home-rule charter was
adopted in 1948 is scheduled to
be put up to Circuit Court to-
morrow.
Paul D. Taggart. Silver Spring
attorney. is seeking exoneration
for Eddie Bratburd. a convicted
gambler. by contending that the
Charter erased all previous county
laws enacted by the old Board of
County Commissioners. particu-
larly the one under which Brat
burd and his wife, Ruth, have been
charged.
Mr.. Taggart makes the conten-
ton in motion to dismiss
charges of possession of gambling
Iparaphernalia placed against the
Bratburds after police raided their
home at 1869 Piney Branch road
June 27.
Contends 1t Is Unconstitutional.
Mr.. Taggart plans to argue the
motion before Chief Judge Charles
w. Woodward tomorrow afternoon
at Rockville.
The gambling paraphernalia
charge is a violation of Article
SOB of the Montgomery County
|SCode. The defense attorney, in
his motion, argues that Article
SOB lis unconstitutional. incon-
Isistent with and contrary to the
laws of the General Assembly and
Constitution of Maryland" and
Furthermore became null and void
when Montgomery County adopted
"a charter form of government.
At the time the Bratburds were
arrested. police said they found
lists. slips and records of num-
bers drawn in a lottery In the
couples home. When they came
before Silver Spring Police Court,
the State asked a jury trial and
the Bratburds were released on
81 900 bond each.
Appealed Conviction.
Bratburd in l948 was fined ST.
900 and sentenced to six months
in Jail on a conviction Of illegal
possession of lottery slips. He
carried the case to the Maryland
Court of Appeals. but the con-
viction was upheld.
MIR. Taggart also contends in
his motion that if Article 50-3
is held valid, then the search war
rant under which the Bratburds
were arrested is still void because
is was issued by a Circuit Court
judge. Article sos of the Code,
the attorney adds, provides that
only a justice of the peace or
the grand jury may issue a search
warrant.
