I Mossadegh keeps up his present
line of accusations against Britain
and the Anglo-Iranian, Britain
would insist that such charges
are false.
An Iranian spokesman said
earlier that Iran will take part in
new talks with the British only to
discusss indemnities due the ma

The British resolution appeared
certain to get more toning down.

would frame an amendment that
would remove any reference to the

court had called for continued

Britain's resolution now merely
notes the World Court action and
asks the council to call on Iran to
renew the talks. It does not ask
the Council to act because Of the

Statement
By Mr.. Symington

w. Stuart Symington makes
the tolloDing comment on
references to him in today's
installment of The ForrestGl
Diaries:
Mr.. Forrestal knew it was my
conviction that the security of
the country demanded a 10
group Air Force as a peacetime
minimum. That was why he
permitted me to continue to
testify to that end.
Many of the references to me
and to the Air Force position
In the edited diary and in the
editors comments tell at best
only part of the full story. But
I shall conflne my comments to
the single incident of my talk
of July 16. 1948. Regarding
this talk. I had submitted 1t to
MFR. Forrestal for clearance be-
fore I left for Los Angeles, and
he was to forward revisions to
me there.
What MIR. Forrestal did not
know when he wrote me the
letter quoted in the diary were
these facts: Cd The newspaper
story referred to was inaccur-
ate: (2) Mr.. Forrestal's revi-
sions did not reach me in time
for my talk; 90 instead Of CIV
ing the unrevised talk, I care
fully edited it with Mr.. Forres-
tails special assistant, Mr.. John
McCone, at whose home in Los
Angeles I was staying: a. to-
gether we deleted the points to
which, in Mr.. McCone's opinion.
Mr.. Forrestal might have OBJ
jections: and (5) the talk con-
tanned this statement about the
handling Of the unification ef-
fort: These problems are being
recognized, and are being ham
died wisely and constructively
by Mr.. ForreStal."
When Mr.. Forrestal learned
these facts. he Immediately
apologized for the letter he
had written and asked me to
return it. It was in this
friendly spirit that he suggest
ed we have dinner together that
night.
No one had a greater appre-
citation than I Of the magnitude
Of the problems faced by Mr..
Forrestal. No one had greater
admiration and affection for
him. But I was convinced that
adequate air power-Navy as
well as Air Force-coupled with
atomic weapons, would be the
strongest deterrent to future
Soviet expansion.

u. ). Butter Reserves
Drop 5O96 in Year
ey the Assoeioied Press


The Nation moved into the fall
season with butter reserves only
about half as large as a year ago,
the Agriculture Department re-
ported today.
The reserves help meet con-
sumer needs during the fall and
winter, seasons during which pro-
duction usually does not match
demand.
Officials expressed belief. how
ever, that the reserves will be
sufficient because butter consump-
tion has dropped considerably be-
low last years level.
A year ago, reserves totaled 234
million pounds. the bulk of which
was owned by the Government
under producer price support
program. Reserves presently are
about 113 million pounds, virtually
all held by the trade.
officials said this years decline
in butter consumption has been
accompanied by an increase in
use Of margarine.

Wildcat Pier Strike
Gains in New York;
Union BIames Reds
by the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-A wild
cat strike of dock workers spread
to more piers along New York
City's giant water front today
crippling defense and commercial
shipping alike.
Union leaders, who have blamed
some of the walkouts on Commu-
nists. tried vainly to get workers
back on their jobs. Instead. more
men at other piers joined in the
stoppage.
Loading and unloading Of ships
at the Brooklyn Army Base. one
of the Nations major troop en-
barkation and military supply de-
pots, was halted by the strike.
which began Unexpectedly yester-
day.
At the big docks along the Hud-
son River, from Seventeenth street
northward to Fifty seventh street
along Manhattan's West Side,
stevedores milled about the streets,
but refused to report for morning
Shapeups.
4 Shipping Lines Hit.
In Brooklyn, four shipping
lines. which had been unaffected
yesterday. said they couldn't get
stevedores this morning. Steve
dores also quit at the huge Brush
Terminal. where handling of car
goes of three ships was stopped
The reports indicated that at
lease $500 dockmen were idle in
the tieup, which began originally
over some workers dissatisfaction
with a new union-employer con-
tract.
Joseph P. Ryan, president OF
the AFL International Longshore-
mems Association, toured the
water front today, and said he
was puzzled" at the wildcat
strike.
He said he questioned some of
the men. and that they them
selves didn't know why they were
striking. He said a membership
meeting of one striking local, 791,
was called for this afternoon.
Conferences Held.
Union and Army officials con-
ferred last night on the threat
to defense shipping.
Five Army piers were tied up
by the stevedores' rebellion.
Loading of vital cargo was
stopped on three Navy transports
and two freighters, an Army
spokesman said. The ships carry
everything from beans to can
mons" for Korea and other Amerl-
can military outposts, he added.
He said base officials were
"quite worried" about the affair.
The Manhattan longshoremen
said they objected to wage, vaca-
tion and other clauses" in the
contract accepted last week by a
2-to-1 vote of $4,000 stevedores
from Portland. Me-, to Hampton
Roads, Va. E-
However, some New York locals
registered majorities against the
pact. ~
It provided a basic wage in
crease of 10 cents an hour, bring
ing pay to $2.10 an hour. Also in
cluded were a number OF other
clauses on vacations, welfare fund,
and hiring practices.

SPEECH! BY SECRETARY
SYMINGTON.
I sent this message today to
tMr. Symington:
IF the account Of your speech
in Los Angeles on Friday evening
as reported by Gladwin Hill in
today's New York Times, is ac-
lcurate. it was an act of official
disobedience and personal disloy-
| lalty.
II shall await your explana-
tion." a g s..
I called on the President this
afternoon told him ! would have
to ask for Mr.. Symington's resig-
nation unless he could provide a
satisfactory explanation Of his
conduct in Los Angeles. I said ]
did this with reluctance. but ]
had come to the conclusion it was
the only possible course. The
President agreed and asked me
to report to him on the conversa-
ton.
Dimes With Symington.
Of correctly reported, the
speech would seem to have well
warranted dismissal. Yet on
the following evening MIR. For
restal was dining with Mr.. Sym
ington, Mr.. Sullivan (Secretary
of the Navy and Mr.. Royal in
seeming amicability. Appar-
emily Mr.. Forrestal was less in
terested in disciplinary action
than in removing the cause of
the trouble. Its roots lay in
service rivalry for control of
the atomic weapons; lit became
clear" Mr.. Forrestal noted of
this dinner, that the area of
disagreement between the Air
Force and Navy Air deals
fundamentally with the con-
ceptS of so-called strategic war
fare, and this boilS down to use
of the atomic bomb" Mr.. For
restal sketched out an adjust
ment which would assign the
bomb to the Air Force ION the
basis of dominant interest"
while granting its use to the
Navy either against purely
naval targets" or in strategic
operations under Air Force di-
rection. Such a settlement was
in fact worked out officially a
little later. Meanwhile, Mr..
Symington explained away the
Los Angeles speech; and Mr..
Forrestal, taking Mr.. Syming-
ton along. reported to the Presi-
dent that in view Of 'extenuat-
ing circumstances" he was
withdrawing his intention of
asking for a resignation.

IS. Enter the Atomic Bomb

10. EUteT Tue NtUHlt@ VVhH0
(The Soviet blockade of Ber-
lin in June. 194S. led to the
basing of two groups Of B-29s-
the atomic bomb carriers-in
Great Britain. This immedi-
ately raised important questions
about the bombs themselves.
The custody of the weapons was
in the civilian Atomic Energy
Commission. Mr.. Forrestal
noted:
IS July, 194S.
MEETING-ATOMIC BOMB.
I informed the President this
morning that ! asked for a meet
ing with him for the next week
to discuss the question of custody
of atomic weapons. said I did
not propose to ask him for a deci-
sion on their use because I felt
confident his decision would be
the right one whenever the cir
cumstances developed that re-
quired a decision. He then re-
marked he wanted to go into this
matter very carefully, and he pro-
posed to keep, in his own hands
the decision as to the use of the
bomb, and did not propose ito
have some dashing lieutenant
colonel decide when would be the
proper time to drop one"
said I had found in the mill
tary no thought of denying him
freedom of action on this subject
but that there was a very serious
question as to the wisdom Of rely
ing upon an agency other than
the user of such a weapon, to
assure the integrity and disability
of such weapon. said. how
ever, I did not think it appropri-
ate to argue the merits of the
case unilaterally but that ]
thought it needed decision at an
early date.
Custody Issue Argued.
"a few days later there was
a White House meeting Of de-
fense officials and the ACC to
discuss the question. David
Lilienthal, the Acc chairman.
argued strongly for continued
civilian custody: the President
reserved decision. But after the
cabinet meeting on July % he
held Mr.. Forrestal back. He
told me that he would make a
negative decision on the ques-
ton of the transfer of custody
of atomic bombs and said that
political considerations, at the
immediate moment, had inf1u-
enced this decision. He indi-
Gated that after election it
would be possible to take an
other look at the picture"
Un a public statement the
next day the President declared
that all aspects of atomic
energy, including custody of the
bombs, were civilian function.
That settled the question of
custody for the time being: but
not of possible use. On the
28th Mr.. Fofrestal lunched with
Gen. Marshall. Mr.. Royal and
Gen. Bradley ~-ro~,
