BrifisEs Oil Men To Be Evdcuaied From Abadan Refinery

New York P - The United Nations plunges into the bitter British-Iranian oil dispute today with Britain apparently lowing in advance to Trans. order ex- polling Britons from the great Abadan refinery area.
 A London announcement said Britain plans to evacuate all her oil men from Abadan by Thurs day, the deadIine set by the Nationalist Iranian government. Abadan dispatches said most of the oil men would leave by war ship from Basra, Iraq, Wednes- day, and the remaining few off cials would go to Basra Thurs day.
 Iran made it clear she was insisting upon the expulsion in spite of the pending British com pla;nt before the Security Coun Gil.
 Deputy Premier HosSein Fate mi said in Tehran that the Se- curity Council had no power to recommend that Iran lift the expulsion orc CT. Previously, Hussein Makki, of the Iranian National Oil Board, said if the BritainS insisted on staying at the refinery, they would be escorted off by police with the greatest respect and kindness. "
 Trans aged, frail and emo tional Premier, Mohammed Mos sadegh, has not yet mentioned flying to New York for the Se- curity Council meeting. His deputy, Fatemi, said Iran still has received no formal notice from the Security Council on the British complaint and no deci- sion on whether MOssadegn would go to New York would be made until such official no tice was received. The govern ment had announced previously Mossadegh would attend the New York meeting.
 Ten British warships are an chored off Basra, only 40 miles from Abadan on the Shatt-EI- Arab estuary, and there was some talk in London of an "oil blockade" of Iran to insure that the Iranians do not sell stored Abadan oil which Britain con siders property of the Anglo Iranian Company.
 Makki has said that if such a blockade were imposed, it would be most dangerous and would be the beginning of hos tilities."

New York lP - A tieup of the nations shipping threatened for last midnight was averted just ahead of the deadline by tentative agreement on the west coast and 8 43-hour truce" for Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
 Shippers and AFL Masters, Mates and Pilots Union CMMPi have been trying to reach new contracts in separate negotia- tions in New York and San Francisco. F d a mediators have been participating.
 On the Pacific, the IMP agreed to a tWO-year wage pact subject to formal approval by the union membership, the snip pers Pacific Maritime Associa- tion (PMA) and the Wage Sta biliZation board.
 Charles F. May, president of the Dock Officers Union, said in San Francisco that IMP mem bers would refuse to work At lantic ana Cuff ships if they do not get an agreement equal to that attained in the west.
 Union c m a n d concerning hiring procedures are a key point in the eastern dispute. The union wants all ships officers, except masters, to be signed on from union lists. Employers re portedIy want to make an ex- emption of first mates, too.
 The west coa5t ; -1.4lclt, as announced by May, granted the union it's demands on this point.
 A p per cent wage increase had been sought by the union in both New York and San Francisco, but the MMP settled for 6.2 per cent on the Pacific after once rejecting this figure.
 However, there was no mdl- cation the union would budge O.. wages in the east.
 OliGI QetdllS III lne west coast agreement, May said, include a 40-hour week in port and at sea, with time-and-a-half for overtime: doubling of the ship owners present 25 cents per man day contribution to the union pension fund; longer vaca tions, and a number of other benefits in work conditions.
 Current pay rates range from S378 to S750 a month.
 West coast companies will consider their agreement today. The union promised to present the proposed pact to the mem bershlp by Wednesday.

MeDonaId Re-Opens Fight for Shorter AIaska Highway

Seattle P - Saving Alaska from Russia in the event of war is dependent on constructing 550-mile stretch of highway, in the opinion of Donald Mcdonald.
 Mcdonald, of Fairbanks, is retired exploratory engineer. He is known as the father of the Alaska Highway. Ironically, h9 now desplses 1t as "an economic waste and wholly Inadequate, largely because o1 rough, steep stretches susceptible to Washouts between Whitehorse, TT, and Edmonton, Alta"
 The solution, Mcdonald be- lieves, is constructing road from Atlin to Fort St. James, B.C., that would connect with the Fairbanks road 58 miles south of Whitehorse and with the CarIooo road at Fort St. james.
 Connecting the two roads would cut the mileage from Fair banks to Seattle from the pres ent 3,400 miles to about 1900 miles, Mcdonald said.
 Alaska is an economic island, dependent on the sea for all means of war or development" :" said Mcdonald. If it IS true that it is one of the most stra- tegic areas in the world, and think it is, it is mandatory for the United States to hold ii.
 But I don't see how we can unless we build this new road. Russia has submarines and they easily could cut Alaska off from being supplied by sea.
 That leaves the present high way. It is so bad that only 1,700 trucks used it last year.
 Mcdonald was a member of the American commission which worked jointly with d Canadian group in planning the Alaska Highway before the Second World War.
 When the Second World War came along," Mcdonald said, planning the road was taken out of our hands and some brain ordered it built from Whitehorse to Edmonton and down into Montana. That was deliberate sabotage.
 "The Canadians are about ready to scrap their section. Any good engineering outfit would give that part of it up as extrava- gant and Wasteful to maintain
 The western route that Me Donald favors would have 35 bridges, costing an estimated S1,500,000, compared with the present roads 78 bridges costing S16,575, ,000, Mcdonald said. He estimates the new road could be built for $50,OOO,OOO, compared with the $14O,OOO,OOO he says the Whitehorse-Edmonton sec tion cost.

Simple Filter Traps
Germs in Water
By the Associated Pres.

A new and simple device for
detecting certain germs in water
supplies was announced today by
the government. officials said it
has "some potentialities" as a de-
tense against germ warfare.
The United States Public Health
Service told of the development in
IA statement which said it may be
of great significance for sanitary
bacteriology and rural sanitation y
Health service officials told re-
porter it could be important In
the case of a meteorological at
tack on this country.
The new device is a small filter
about the size of a silver dollar
and assistant Surgeon General
Mark D. Hollis said:
1.-THE apparatus is so simple
and so readily portable that bac-
t teriologists may find it possible to
axtend their services to rural COM
llQunities and other areas lacking
the usual laboratory facilities"
The health service said the filter
is placed in water to trap"
germs. It's pores are so tiny that
no bacteria can pass through the
filter, although viruses-which are
smaller than bacteria-may get
through.

Worse, "Fool Mountain" had
three guardian hills placed as

Fort five nights in a row before

A total of 371a tons of bombs

tirely erroneous" but he added
that he does have very strong
feeling that those in control of
the major leagues should do some
constructive thinking on the whole
problem Of the location of major
league franchises. Despite radi-
cal changes in the location of
the population, Mr.. Celler went
on, the only changes that have
been made in the baseball rules
on franchises have been to make
them more restrictive.
Mr.. Celler said this is a "ser-
ious problem that applies not only
to the Pacific Coast but also to
such towns as Baltimore, Mil
waukee, Houston, Minneapolis and
Montreal.
Coast Sentiment Sought.
Mr.. Frick contends the Pacific
Coast League will get big-league
status whenever the Western club
owners generate a burning de-
sire" for it. He told the subcom-
mittee no request for major
league status is now pending from
the West Coast.
To find out how the Pacific club
owners feel about getting into the
majors. Mr.. Celler directed his
staff to call as a witness Leslie
O'Connor, general counsel for the
Pacific Coast League. Mr.. O'Con-
nor, former Secretary-treasurer of
major League baseball and aide to
the late High Commissioner Ken
esaw Mountain Lands for 20
years, took the legal post after
serving two years as general man
ager of the Chicago White Sox.
Before plunging into the minor
league picture with Mr.. Trautman,
the subcommittee was briefed on
coming g-of-age struggles.
The baseball history lecture was
given by Harry Simmons. public
relations man for the Inter
national League and recognized
as a baseball historian.
Mr.. Simmons shed some his
torical light on the reserve
clause" the arrangement by which
club owners control the destinies
of their players. The subcommit-
tee has been told baseball must
have the reserve clause" to main
tain balanced competition and
keep the rich clubs from raiding
the poor ones for players.
Mr.. Simmons said the reserve
rule was first proposed in 1879 as
a method of cutting the payroll.
He added, however, that the re-
serve rule never did become an
effective means of cutting player
salaries. It did bring stability to
the clubs he said, "but at that
time the league was thinking not
SO much Of stability as of sur
vival."

iSaid. The remainder varied from

Executives to farmers, morticians
and housewives.
Earn While Ie-You-Learn" Setup.
If these club owners do not
have the protection of the "re-
serve clause" to give them con-
tinuity of players for their teams,
Mr.. Trautman argued, the incen-
tive to maintain the club would be
lost.
He pictured the lower, class
minor leagues as an earn-while-
you-learn set-up for young ball
players, prep school" for the
majors. OF the 500 major league
players today, he said, only about
10 did not come up from the
minors.
In 1850. he reported. approx
Imately 1000 players competed
in So minor leagues. This year
approximately 5000 players are
lin the uniforms of 359 clubs in
49 minor leagues. OF these clubs,
he said, 73 are owned outright
by major league clubs, 1876 have
working agreements with higher
classification clubs and $50 are
independently owned and oper-
lated.
Celler to Insist on Changes.
The subcommittee already is
talking about altering the setup as
far as the West Coast is con-
cerned. The Pacific Coast League
now is in the highest classification
of the minors-a Triple-A League
but the subcommittee has been
questioning witnesses about the
possibility Of making it a third
major league or pulling out some
of the Pacific clubs to join the
National and American Leagues.
Subcommittee Chairman Celler
told newsmen he is going to Gin
Sist" on changes in organized
baseball's structure to bring ma
jor league baseball to the West
Coast.
1--WE can't have this ironclad
system forever" he declared. "The
situation is intolerable. There
must be changes. I'm going to
insist on it,"
MIR. Celler already has indicated
the form his insistence may take.
He told National League Presi-
dent Ford Frick that the majors
must "reorient their thinking"
about the West Coast if the
subcommittee is to recommend
exemption of baseball from anti
trust laws.
Celler Clarifies Stand.
At the start Of today's hearings,
however, Mr.. Celler said he
wanted to dispel incorrectly
drawn inferences that the COM
mittee has already come to the
conclusion that the Pacific Coast
League should be third major
league.
He termed that impression "en-

The art of printing became known
in Europe more than five centu-
ries ago.
Did that mean a printed news
paper at the same time?
Hardly that! The early printers
thought of books as the best things
Ito produce. The Gutenberg Bible"
soon appeared; it is doubtful that
Gutenberg did all the typesetting
and printing for this Bible, but he
probably shared in the work.
A long time was to pass before
newspapers were published at reg
ular times. News letters were
printed, however; these were small
sheets with news of special impor-
tance. One told about the fall of
Granada, when the Spaniards were
driving the Moors out of Spain.
Another newsletter told about the
first voyage of Columbus to the
New World.
Some of the early neWs-letters
were printed in Germany, others
in Italy. One was printed fairly
often at Venice and was sold for
a small coin known as a .'gazetta.
