company's acting general. man.
ager, said yesterday that the
British staff would remain in
definitely. AS late as Friday, a
British embassy spokesman here
declared withdrawal of the staff
which would cause the refinery
to close down for lack of tech
nicians-was inevitable"
Today the same spokesman
said. however. that operations
may run on longer. But, he in
sisted that British workers are
unhappy with the thought of
sticking 1t out under the threat
lof naturalization, which would
make them virtually employees OF
the Iranian government.
The policy - n apparently
was dictated from London. where
the Labor government has been
under fire from the Conservatives
for talking Of giving In to the
Iranians.
1t is no secret that there is some
disagreement N the stick it out"
policy between London and Brit
ish diplomats on the spot. who say
the British technicians in the
steaming Persian Gulf area are in
no mood to be frontline soldiers in
the war of nerves.
May Avoid Crisis.
If the British decide to keep
the ref1nery going, it will at least
avert an i'm" diate crisis. One of
the principal fears-particularly
in the American Governments
that closing the refinery and the
resultant shutting down Of the
wells would be the spark which
would touch off explosive eco
nomic unrest in Iran.
Some $4,000 Iranian workers
would be out of work subject to
recruiting into the Communist
(TudehD Party, which is specially
strong in the southern oil province
OF KhuZistan.
The troubled Abadan area was
ordered under a midnight-to-
dawn curfew starting tomorrow.
Brig. Gen. Azizallah Kamal, mill
tary governor in the area who
issued the order. gave no reason
for the curfew.
He ordered shipping traffic on
the broad estuary of the Shatt-al-
Arab River stopped during the
curfew hours.
OffcialS Of the Iranial National
Oil Co., set up under the national
ization law. have taken over all
oil company communication Of
f1ces and facilities. The direct
telephone line to Basra and Bagh-
dad in neighboring Iraq was cut.
The daily AIOC plane to Basra
was grounded.
Correspondents covering the oil
crisis from Abadan were left with
no normal facilities for getting
their reports out except for a
part time Iranian telephone line
to Basra and by air courier from
other 1ranian cities to the out
side world.
Before the AIOC planes were
grounded, a tiny company bi-plane
crashed this morning into the
heart of the refinery area and
burned. The pilot-a Londoner-
was killed and the charred body
of an 1ranian worker was found
later. The fire was quickly con-
trolled before it spread to any of
The refinery installations. The
plane had taken off from Abadan
airfield on a routine fight when
Its wing tip grazed the refinery

ECA Chief Appeals
For More Economic
And Military Aid

Economic Cooperation Admin.
istrator William C. Foster callee
on Congress today to help increase
production in Western Europe
and provide economic conditions
necessary for political self deter.
mination by countries in South
east Asia.
This can be advanced. he told
the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee. through the Mutual Secur-
ity Program. He urged approval
of a requested $8.5 billion in
economic and military aid to
friendly foreign nations. He
described the program as IAN
affirmative plan OF action for re-
pelling possibly the gravest threat
yet to confront our country"
In his prepared statement as
the committee resumed hearings
on the proposals, Mr.. Foster said
strides toward economic recovery
in Europe have been so great that
ECA could wind up it's work were
it not for Soviet Vaccinations. 4"
He suggested that Congress care
fully weigh "the advantages Of
having a going concern with the
economic jobs ahead"
Economic assistance for Asia, he
declared. is essential to meet i'm
mediate as well as long range
problems and dangers.
Must Offset Communism.
There is little question:" he
said, that unless the United
States and the West take effective
action to help the countries of
Southeast Asia build the essential
conditions of self-determination,
we will see an increase of Com
munist-stimulated chaos.
I'VE must generate in South
east Asia a sense of mutually
with the free world and some
awareneSs of the insidious ma
ture of the Communist threat.
The first job lies in helping the
governments, some of them just
emerging into the responsibilities
of self-government, to meet in
more adequate measure the needs
of their peoples quickly enough
to offset and defeat the inroads
of communism
The proposed S8.5 billion pro-
gram would earmark $500 million
in economic aid and 81 billion in
military help for Southeast Asia.
Formosa, India and the Philip
pines. Mr.. Foster said that "un-
fortunately at this time aid of
both kinds is required and one |,
is almost useless without the
other"
Distribution of Materials.
The two other major points
presented by Mr.. Foster dealt with
the plain business sense" Of help
ing Europeans produce their own
arms, and with the plain fact"
that more raw materials must be
developed.
I'VE must help build a Western
European economy so strong that
1t is not sensitive to the appeals |,
and manipulations of communism
and no longer an ally of doubtful
abilities, but a positive, committed |,
force, competent to bear arms
while simultaneously furnishing
its peoples with way of life
worth defending" he stated.
I'VE also must develop and en-
large sources of scarce and strate-
gic materials and assure their fair
distribution within the free world.
Though it is not yet widely rec
ognized as such, this is today the
chief limiting factor in realization
of the other two tasks in Europe
and Southeast Asia"

AHA CALLS FOR BIDS
 The alaska Housing authority has issued call for bids for the constructi on of 75 low-rent units at Fairbanks. Bids will be opened in .1nchorage on May 8, 1851, with actual construc ction expected to start soon afterwards.
 This is the first of four projects of this type planned for construction this year, 1t explained today by E. Glen Wilder, Executive Director of the .4.H.-.. Besides 75 units at Fairbanks, a bid call for 50 units at Juneau is expected to go out later this month, ehd a call for the construction of another 50 units at Ketch- iken early in Nay. One hundred and fifty units planned for --nchoraSe will follow if there remains sufficient building season to get we'll underway with construction be- fore next winter, ilder said.
 LoW-rent housing is constructed with Federal financial aid authorized by Congress in the Housing Act of 1919. It is rental housing to be made available for fami lies of loW-income who by reason of a limi tied income could not otherwise afford to rent decent standard dwelling accomno- dations. The projects will be owned and operated by the ..lasko Housing 44uthori ty.
 The Fairbanks project is to be located between West Second .4venue and West Tenth Avenue, and will be tWo-story units con- tained in ten multiple unit buildings plus a management and maintenance office bui ld- ing. The construction contract will in- clude, besides the building, the install etion of utilities, central heating plant and the cons truction of streets, walks, and yard areas.
 The 1ow-rent pro jects planned by the a. H.4.. will be a real asset to the four conmuni ties, Wilder declared, and will assist greatly in overcoming the serious shortage of standard housing, especially where private enterprise cannot be expect ed to supply decent housing for fami lies of lower income.

The winter season in the Ma

night with a violin recital by Rob-
ert Rudie assisted at the piano by
Brooks Smith. 1t was the first local
appearance of the young artist
who is concert master and assist
ant conductor of the Oklahoma
City Symphony. He participated in
the Perpignan Festival in France
under Pablo CaSalS this summer
and the results of that association
was visible in his playing.
It probably influenced his choice
of program also since the greater
part was devoted to Bach with
Beethoven's 'Kreutzer Sonata" as
the closing number. 1t has become
the ambition of most string instru-
mentalists to study Bach with
Casals, whose approach to Bach's
music is quite extraordinary. His
own performances of it were al
ways a revelation and he has been
able to pass on a great deal of his
conception to younger artists. The
Festival at Perpignan was an op-
portunity to study and perform it
under Casals direction.
Mr.. Rude gave a splendid per-
formance of the "Partita in E
Minor" and the unaccompanied
Sonata in G. Minor" Seldom

Drop for I'd Year
BY fhs Assoeiotsd Prsss

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Amer-
lean colleges and universities. con-
fronted by serious financial prob
lens, have opened their new aca-
demic year with an enrolment loss
Of 250,000 students, the New York
Times said today.
The institutions will have g.
250,000 students this year-a 10
per cent drop from last year-the
story said.
This is the second consecutive
year that the colleges have lost
students. said the story by Benja-
min Fine.
The story. based on a Times
survey Of 100 representative col
Ileges and universities and inter-
views with educational leaders,
gave this picture:
Despite the drop, the 1850 col
Ileges and universities have enrolled
considerably more students than
they expected to six months ago.
At that time college spokesmen
feared they would lose up to so
lper cent of their male enrolment.
More students have been deferred
from the draft than had been
lexpected."
