Mr.. Truman's message said, in
part:
"a small but determined group
|of reckless politicians is trying
desperately to destroy the BIZ
partisan foreign policy of this
country. These confusers ana di-
viders are jeopardizing the secur-
ity Of the country and the hopes
OF the world for peace. The more
reckless they become the greater
is our duty to see that national
interest is put above partisan in
terest."
The President said the country's
policy is to establish peace and
the rule OF law" without having
to go through a third world war"
He said economic controls will
be necessary for at least the next
two years to hold down imitation
which he said could do more than
anything to weaken the country
If not kept in check.
AFL President William Green
also sent a message to the meet
ing. declaring that imitation "at
the moment is as great a threat

war"

There is no doubt that the gov

effort. with all means at its dis
|posal, to prevent any stoppage,
even temporarily, in the flow Of
|oil, but 1t would be a cause for
great regret If any stoppage oc-
Cured as a result of the resigna-
tiol en- masse of the British en-
|pioyes. or any delaying tactics in
loading and shipping Of oil prod
ucts because of the refusal on
their part to give the receipts re-
quired. In such an eventuality.
responsibility for the grave and
undesirable consequences which
might follow will naturally lie
upon the shoulders of the former
oil company authorities.
Anxiety Held Groundless.
It must be mentioned at this
stage that, in spite of public fervor
in Iran, there is no danger what
ever to the security of life and
property Of British nationals in
Iran. Any spreading of false ru-
mors on the part of agents of the
former oil company might, how
ever. cause anxieties and disturb
ances; while If they act in con-
|fornity with the expectation of
the Irarian government there will
be no cause whatever for any
anxiety for the Imperial Iranian
government has the situation well
in hand.
Owing to the age-long continu-
Gus and cordial relations existing
between the peoples of Iran and
the United States, ! am confident
that no disturbance will ever
occur in that happy relationship,
for the world regards the great
and esteemed American Nation
as strong supporter of freedom
and sovereignty of nations, be-
lief evidenced by the sacrifices of
that great-hearted Nation in the
last two World Wars.
Such reflections have moved me
to lay before you. Mr.. President,
recent developments in Iran and I
am quite sure the free nations of
the world and specially the Gov
of the friendly Nation of
will not hesitate to sup
port us in achieving our national
ideal.
I avail myself of this opportu-
nifty to offer you.a Mr.. President,
of my highest consid-
Grafton and my most sincere
wishes for the prosperity Of the
great American Nation.

Ramp Contempt Case
May Go TO Jury Today

A District Court jury was ex-
pected to begin celebrating this
afternoon, in the contempt of Con-
|gress trial of Joseph p. Kamp, 81,
executive vice president of the
Constitutional Educational League,
Inc.
The contempt charge accuses
him of failing to produce certain
records of the league before the
now defunct House Committee on
Lobbying Activities, June, 1850.
Specifically. the committee
sought records Of the league which
would show the name and address
of each person from whom the
league had received $1,000 or more
during the period of from January
l, 1947, to May /, 1850. "for any
purpose.
Kamp went on trial on the
charge last Monday and most Of
the time has been devoted to ar
guments on defense motions.
Principal among these was a mo-
ton seeking to have the court
declare invalid subpoena which
instructed Kamp to produce the
records. In this connection, De-
fense Attorney John j. Wilson
contended the subpoena was in
valid in that it had been issued
by the House committee chairman
instead of by the whole commit
tee.
Judge Burnita Shelton Mat
thews. who is presiding at the
trial, refused to dismiss the case,
holding that even if the subpoena
had been invalid. that it was too

This was the reaction of one
British official to the letter:

There's not the slightest inclina-
ton to try and get a reachable

The letter failed to mention one
OF the main British objections
which would be the immediate
cause behind departure of AIOC
technicians. This is the anti
sabotage bill before Parliament,
which carries a death penalty.
The British have protested that
If the bill becomes law it would

said detailed and perhaps pro-

necessary before it can definitely
be known whether there is real
basis for hope of an early end to
the Korean war.
It was understood that on the
possibility - however slight - that
an arrangement containing ade-
quate guarantees against truce
violations can be worked out,
Government agencies were ready
ing standby plans for action in
event an arrnistiee is established.
Balanced against this Is the i'm
preston among diplomats here
that any chances of an immediate
cease-f1re are dimmed by the need
for further clarification of the
Soviet and Chinese attitudes.
Some authorities feel it is not
yet clear whether the Chinese
Reds would insist on conditions
unacceptable to the West-mem-
bership in the United Nations and
control of Formosa, for example
MFR. Malik did not attach such
conditions to his suggestion for

that Korean truce talks would be

The 16 nations fighting with
the U. N. in Korea expressed their
Willingness in statement yeSter-
day to take part in action de-
signed to bring about a genuine
and enduring peace in Korea. ~
But they also want guarantees
that the Red Chinese would get
out and stay out Of Korea.
This was expressed clearly by
Secretary of State Acheson. He
told the House Foreign Affairs
Committee in Washington yester-
day that if a cease-f1re could be
arranged, the greatest guaran-
tee" against new aggression would
be the withdrawal of Chinese
troops beyond the Yalu River
boundary between Korea and
Manchuria.

Efforts here to get Qualification

The explanation was given the
United States yesterday in Mos

The outlines Of this probable
joint action by American COM
panies came to light after Secre-
tary of State Acheson appealed
to Iran to effect a stop
gap agreement with Britain to
permit continued oil shipments.
Mr.. Achesop criticized the
Iranian government for fostering
an attitude of threat and fear"
which he said was causing Brit

Anglo o-Iranian Oil Co. to leave. He
added that Iran itself would invite
instability and economic dis

Compromise Still Sought.
State Department officials gen.
orally were doubtful that Mr..
Acheson's statement would cause
the strongly Nationalist Iranian
government to go slower In its
plan to take over the big British
operations.
Nevertheless. they said the
United States would press until
the last possible minute for a COM
promise agreement to maintain
the flow of oil needed by the
West.
Meanwhile, the Justice Depart
ment was expected to assure
American oil companies they will
not be prosecuted under anti
trust laws If they pool their re-
sources and transportation facili-
ties to meet Western European
needs during an emergency.

Jesse Jones Says RFc
Earned $40 Million on
Loans B. 60. in '3Os

Reconstruction Finance Corp
loans to the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad were defended by Jesse
Jones, former RFC chairman, in
a statement studied today by the
Senate Banking Committee.
MIR. Jones informed the COM
mittee that RFC has made q
profit Of more than $40 million
from interest payments on It's
loans totalting $84 million in the
1930s.
He took issue with criticism by
Senator Tobey, Republican, OF
New Hampshire, concerning the
manner in which the loans were
handled and the company al
lowed to reorganize. H also de-
MED that the railroads hiring of
former RFC employees had 'the
slightest influence on any of our
actions with respect to B. & o.
loans"
Probe Reopened by RFC.
Senator Tobey has not COM
mented on the JONI statement
but his Office reported he might
have something to say later.
RFC itself recently reopened an
investigation of the B. q o. loans,
Administrator w. Stuart Syming-
ton explained that he had no
wish to "pre-judge" the matter
but simply wanted to obtain all
the facts.
The Senate committee on June
l made public report In which
Senator Tobey, almost four years
ago, in that report, never adopted
by the committee, Senator Tobey
asserted that "RFC fitted itself
into the B. & o. scheme of things,
allowed B. & o. to handle its
funds in a way injurious to the
RIGS own interest, but necessary
to B. & O.'s plan for a reorgani-
cation in 1914, and by this course
of conduct made itself an acces-
sorry before the fact to an unneces-
Sary reorganization

Mr.. Jones. insthe statement he
sent yesterday from Houston, Tex,
to the committee. recalled that
RFC was expressly authorized to
help railroads and that the B. & o.
was among the first to apply for
help.
He reported that B. & o. has
paid RFC more than $50 million
in interest. This has resulted in a.
$40 million profit for the agency.
he said.
B. g. o. still owes RFC about
SIS million. Mr.. Jones said this

Americon Companies
Quietly Join British
In Buying Strike
BY Ernie Hill

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. june
l28. Without fanfare the United
States has Joined in the boycott
against buying oil from Iran.
| The position taken by American
loil companies and supported by

has acted arbitrarily in refusing

Iish to work out naturalization de-
tails and keep the petroleum fiow-

lis supporting Britain in buying
strike designed to produce an eco
lnomic collapse in Iran and a
change of government.
Among the tankers now refus-
ling to load what the fraternity
calls stolen oil" at Abadan are
several American ships. They are
following the British lead In re-
fusing to sign for oil.
Standard Tanker Involved.
One Of the tankers Is a Stand
ard Vacuum ship belonging to
Standard Of New Jersey and
Socony- Vacuum, officials of the
companies here say.
The Iranian government is be-
coming extremely worried over the
refusal Of purchasers to deal with
the government-appointed nation
alization officials.
Iran is running d series of
advertisements in the New York
Journal Of Commerce at this time
requesting customers of the Anglo
Iranian Oil Co. to continue their
purchases from the Iranian gov
ernment.
Some countries like Argentina
and India probably would be glad
to go ahead and deal with the
Iranian government" one oil man
says. But they are discovering
that they can't get tankers to haul
the oil away from Abadan.
Success Is Awaited.
1T seems that all of the tankers
from Norway. Sweden, Greece and
other countries have been rented
out and there is no transportation
available"
Two months ago, oil men, were
faced with the problem of joining
In the boycott as part of a policy
for discouraging all foreign coun-
tries from expropriating and ma
tionalizing oil interests, or buy
ing from Iran to prevent an eco

government to show some inclina-

Oil. the government may fall.
Soviet May Lack Tankers.
Russia, the main threat in the
picture, has maintained a stoicaI
silence throughout the break
down Of negotiations.
Oil men doubt that the Soviet
has enough tankers to move the
Iranian oil even If Iran decided
to sell to Moscow.
Best information is that Britain
will send troops to Abadan only
II British lives are threatened byI
the hostile Iranians. Should Brit
ish troops land at the refinery
port city. the United States is
pledged to maintain a strict
hands-off policy.
The eventual outcome cannot
be predicted with any amount of
assurance. Too many things
could happen to upset any course
The situation is expected to re-
main fluid for some time to test a
boycott and to see how long the
government can stand up under
