Hartman Welcome
 In Iran

TERRAIN, Iran, July II -lR- Premier Mohammed Mossadegh to- night sent message to President Truman saying he would be glad to receive w. Averell Hartman for con- fererces CT Trans oil .aptlonaliz' tion crisis.
 U. s. Ambassador Henry F. Gra- dy was called to Mossadegh's resi- dence to receive the Iranian reply to MT. Truman's offer to send Harri- man to Iran in the hope he could help solve the current bitter dis pute between Britain and Iran.
 Grady told newsmen he was very pleased" with Mossadegh's reply.
 Earlier it was reported that Trans oil naturalization commission had advised Mossadegh to accept the Truman offer.
 The premier appeared to have been stalling on an answer to Presl- dent Truman's offer to send his personal representative. The com mission, however, said it approved the idea "on the ground that liar riman's visit could not conflict with the oil naturalization law the spokesman said.
 The recommendation was submit sed to the premier for discussion with his cabinet this afternoon.
 Informed circles here say, how ever. that Harriman's mission will have little effect unless the Iran ians show disposition to modify at least slightly-their determina- ton to seize full control of the British oil industry.
 Meantime, there was not the slightest indication that Mossadegh was ready to make any compromise

AFL Baking
 New Taxation For Everybody

WASHINGTON, July II - tR - The American Federation of Labor got behind the Truman administra- tion's request for S10,000, 100000 of new taxes today, and proposed that $6,400, 100000 to $7,000,000000 be raised from increases in individual income taxes to hit particularly at those with larger incomes.
 The proposal was advanced by Arthur Elder, AFL tax consultant in testimony to the tax-writing Senate Finance committee. His plan would hike individual income levies by more than double the S2,850, ,000,- 900 increase in House-passed ST. 200,000,000 revenue-raising bill. The senators are holding hearings on the House bill.
 The plan of the big labor organ ization' ran directly counter to sug- gestions of business groups. These have urged that the House bill be changed so that personal income tax increases would hit harder at lower income levels.
 The committee for economic de- velopment, an organization of busi- nessmen, took this view in testimony yesterday. It said more taxes should be siphoned out of the lower income groups as an anti-inflationary measure.
 Elder said the $10,000.0O000 tax increase urged by President Tru- man and Secretary of the Treas ury John Snyder is essential to balance the budget in the Defense Mobilization period.

 One is the French Embassy which has informed Secretary of State Acheson that Chinese troops are already massing on the French Indo- Chinese border and that air fields in South China have been enlarged-obviously for new at tack.
 The other is the Yugoslav En- bassy which has informed the State Department that Rumanlan troops are maneuvering and that Tito believes there is 50-50 chance the long expected attack on Yugo- slavia will begin this fall.

Reds Change Altitude in
 Peace Talks
Brass Taeks' Tomorrow, Says Briefing
 Officer
By JIM BECKER

MUNSAN, Korea. July II --tR- Cease fire talks are progressing in "cold military formality" with every reason to be optimistic, JUN briefing officer said tonight.
 "The talks now are on the tracks, said the spokesman. Col. George Ruhlen of Los Cruces. N. M. An armistice is much nearer tonight than it was 24 hours ago.
 An official communique was less enthusiastic, but hopeful.
 It said "a better understanding between negotiating parties" devei- oped Wednesday. It credited change of attitude by the five Com munist generals.
 The communique said the Red negotiators showed Hess stiffness and less formality"
 Neither the communique nor the briefing officer mentioned three Communists demands reported by Red radios.
 But Allied delegates, returning Wednesday afternoon from the sec ond day of talks in Kaesong, made 1t clear they wouldn't talk about one of the three points--a demand that foreign troops get out of Korea immediately.
 Rear Adm. Arleigh A. Burke, a member of the five man LIN team, said 1t was a political question. AL lied negotiators won't discuss polit- ical issues.
 The briefing officer said nego- tiators may not get down to brass tacks" in Thursday sessions. They still are discussing what items are to go on the agenda and in what order they will be taken up.
 Ruhlen said there was much less tension at Wednesdays meeting. Things went forward in business like manner.'
 He said he could not disclose just what has been accomplished.
 Red is Dynamic"
 Conferees are operating without chairman. Vice Adm. c. Turner Joy leads Allied discussions as JUN spokesman. North Korean Gen. Nam II, chief Communist delegate, is the dominant force on their side." Ruhlen described him as "dynam mic and a man with a strong character"
 He said neither dominates the sessions = held around a long table in room decorated only by the LIN banner and a North Korean flag
 Improvement in the atmosphere of negotiations was reflected in a communique announcement that 20 Allied news representatives would he authorized to go to Kaesong for Thursdays negotiations.
 Previously they had been banned on Communist insistence. Five All lied photographers went to the Red guarded city Wednesday after the LIN delegation had left.
 They travelled along roads guarded by motley assortment of Chinese. armed with American. British and Russian-type weapons. The Reds stood with their backs to the road. They said they were protecting the peace delegates against "Guerrillas."
 The language barrier has slowed negotiations considerably. In the more informal words of Admiral Burke, progress has been flair

spent the past week in Saint
Croix taking a series of pic
lures in black and white and
colors, left today on the re-

tains a tremendous file of
photos which are distributed
weekly to the leading news
papers and travel promotional
organizations, on the United
