For Seizure of British
Oil Resources in Nation
BY the Associated Press

TEHERAN, Iran, April 21.-Re-
neWed anti-foreign agitation by
fanatic Moslem patriots raised a
threat today of further turbulance
in this oil-rich Middle East nation.
Leaders of the fiercely national
istic Fedayan Islam sect, pressing
for immediate government seizure
of Trans British-controlled oil re-
sources. declared that ''the end of
foreign domination in our country
draws close"
They went before a mass meet
ing of 1000 yesterday to demand
release at once of sect members
arrested in the disturbances and
oil strike rioting that have plagued
Iran since the assassination of
Premier Ali Razmara March I.
More than a score Of persons
were arrested last month-at least
nine of them members of Fedayan
Islam-accused of plotting the
death of Gen. Razmara's successor
Premier. Hussein Ala.
The occasion of the mass meet
ing was the holiday in Moslem
Iran to celebrate the anniversary
of the birth of Imam Ali, son-in-
law of the prophet Mohammed.
One sect leader, Seyed Mo-
hamad Naghavi, demanded that
Premier Ala free the Fedayan
Islam members and warned him
to beware of being diverted from
the path of the truth"
He said "the fate of all enemies
Iof Islam will be the same as that
of the Others"
This threat was a reference to
the Staying of Gen. Razmara, who
Opposed pressure for nationalist
Ition of the British-owned Anglo

Latest advices from the oil
fields in Southern Iran, scene of
widespread strikes for the past
month, said Anglo-Iranian's giant
oil refinery at Abadan was pro-
ducing only one-fourth of its
capacity.
The refinery's output has been
cut drastically since late last week
when strike rioting erupted and
resulted in the deaths of three
Britons and six Iranians.
A. E. c. Drake, Anglo Iranian
general manager, said in a state
ment yesterday that Communist
agitators were responsible for the
Abadan strike.

The company announced it
would give a 35 per cent bonus
to workers who stayed on the
job, simultaneously the outlawed

culated leaflets urging workers TO
spurn the offer and remain away.
The strikers have been seeking
