A(|leson QueFied On Advising No Aid for China

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3 = R = Harold E. Stassen flatly challenged Secretary of State Acheson today to deny that in 1940 he recommended cutting off all military supplies for China.
 Stassen's challenge followed a State Department reply to his tes- timony before Senate hearing or Monday. He said then that the late Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg (R- Mich) had told him of White House meeting at which Acheson and Philip Jessup had proposed halting aid to the Nationalists. The State Department reply was issued last night by press officer Michael J. McDermott who said T fear MT. Stassen's memory is playing him tricks" McDermott said thorough check on the records failed to indicate that the meeting of which Stassen said Vandenberg had told him ever took place.
 Stassen, former Governor of Minnesota. said in brief statement today: My attention has been called to the State Departments 'elease of Oct. 3.
 T will make more complete statement later.
 But I immediately ask this direct 'pecific question of Secretary Ache son:
 Do you deny that you were at a conference with President Truman and Senator Vandenberg in 194s at which you recommended cutting off all military supplies for the China Nationalists, and at which Senator Vandenberg opposed such action?"

The W Washington Merry Go Round
(Copyright, 1y51, by Bell Syndlcate, Inc J
 By DREW PEARSON

t
 WASHINGTON = Most amazing inside fact about the recent clean up of the San Francisco Internal Revenue office is that certain U. s. officials tried to indict the young man who first pushed this clean up.
 He is Charles O'Gara, assistant U. s. attorney in San Francisco, who for more than a year had tried to investigate and, if guilty, prosecute some of the income tax officials now suspended.
 During all this period, it was no secret to high officials that income tax wire-pulling was suspected in northern California. And not only did these officials turn deaf ear about a house cleaning but they attempted to indict the man who tried to clean house.
 The story is almost unbelievable and somewhat complicated. It goes back to August 1850 when U. s. Judge J. Waties Waring of South Carolina, sitting temporarily in California, smelled something wrong regarding a narcotics case and sug- gested to young Assistant U. s.

Iran Takes Over British Refinery

ABADAN, Iran, Oct. 3-tR-The British pulled out of Abadan today to give Iran full possession of the worlds greatest refinery.
 The British cruiser Mauritius with some PTS Anglo-Iranian Oil Company employees, sailed at the Shatt- -el-Arab river to Basra,. Iraq early this afternoon.
 From Basra, the evacuees are tc be flown back to Britain.
 The Mauritius was accompanied by five sea-going tugs, one ahead and four behind.
 Forty other AIOC employees left by plane this morning.
 The British departure came after ! .s-ss,.st..s s.t ss q ! ,zsS.ilian l,. 0asl..e.
 It was sad and solemn affair.
 The evacuees privately said this was one of Britain's most humiliating moments. It was, in- decd, in contrast to the proud days when the roar of the British lion made the world take notice.
 That was the way it was when the British came to Iran in the early years of this century.
 Iran now lays claim to oil riches which the country has granted to Britain under a royalty agreement which was to have lasted until 1893
 There was no noticeable change over here today.
 Since last June, when they first appeared on the scene, Iranian Oil Company officials have been grad ually taking over the fields and re- finery processes step by step.
 They moved into some British homes as more and more AIOC em- ployees left.
 Today's departure was orderly with only a few Iranian police and soldiers on the streets.
