Iran
CONTINUED From First Page)


Britain despite almost certain eco
nomic troubles.
Political Strife Growing.
Collapse of the negotiations has
spurred Mossadegh's enemies,
ranging from moderates to wealthy
land owners in Parliament. They
fear the governing National Front
will make big gains in the Novem-
r-December election If Mossa-
degh controls the ballot boxes.
The growing political strife. un-
employment and business slump is
bound to stir up Iran as a result
of the loss Of oil revenue-source
of half the governments budget.
Only the underground Com
munist Tudeh Party and Russia,
Trans northern neighbor, stand to
gain. Western diplomats fear a
continuing oil crisis. They feel
the social unrest will soften Iran
for communism.
Measure Is Popular.
Matchmaking oil operations here
made MosSadegh the hero of the
hour in a country which blames
most of its troubles on the real
and fancied intrigue Of the Brit
ish company.
Any Parliament deputy voting
against oil naturalization would
be committing suicide as surely
as voting against the Koran (the
Moslem Bible).
But so far. the Nationalist pre-
mier has not made good on his
promise of a ''life Of ease and COM
fort" for Trans Is million persons
now that they control their own
oil riches.
Manages to Meet Payroll.
Through a series Of makeshift
financial measures, Mossadegh
has managed to raise money to
meet government payrolls for a
few months without oil royalties
In 1850 the payments amounted
to about f16 million CAB mill
lion).
MoSsadegh coaxed a reluctant
Parliament to pass a law for using
Ella million deposited in q London
bank as backing for Trans cur
rency, to finance imports. He also
won approval Of q 2 billion rial
($62 million) internal bond issue
The Premier and his oil ma
tionalization aides think this will
tide the government over until
|it is able to sell the oil locked
In Abadan's storage tanks. He
turned down this week the pro-
posal of the British negotiator
Richard r. Stokes, that would
recognize naturalization and give
Iran an estimated profit Of ESQ
million ($144 million) a year.

Accompanied by Miss Elizabeth

Mother of the Year." last Thurs
day urged the committee to write
into the proposed draft law a safe
guard against alcohol in the camps
and training centers and from
the temptations of indiscriminate
liquor sales in the immediate vicin-
ity of these centers."
Mrs. Bullock, the wife of the
pastor of the Third Baptist Church
and the mother of eight children,
told the committee that as it con-
siders lowering the age for serv-
ice and training from 19 to 18,
"the plea against liquor and the
temptation of strong drink pulls
tighter on the heart-strings of
mothers"

The New York Congressman DetIaiH He
Will Not Offer Any Anfi-5egregafion
Amendments To Arm Forces Bill

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)-
Although abuse of colored troops
is on the upgrade, Representative
Adam c.. Powell, Democrat, of New
York, last Wednesday declared a
truce in his fight against discrim-
ination and segregation in the
armed forces.
He told the House that he will
not offer any anti-segregation
amendments to bills pertaining to
the armed forces. During the six
years he has been in the House
he has offered such amendments to
every such bill.
At the time MIR. Powell declared
his truce, the House was consider
ing a bill providing for the organ
ization of the Air Force and the
Air Force Department. Repre-
sentative Paul J. Kilday, Democrat,
of Texas, was in charge of the bill,
and Mr.. Powell obtained from him
five minutes of the time allotted
for the consideration of the mea-
sure so that he could explain his
position.
The Powell truce is to remain in
effect during the period that the
United States is at war. Most in
formed persons believe that the
present critical world situation
will continue for at least twenty
five years.
While the Powell truce is in
effect, the National Association for
the Advancement Of Colored Peo-
pie, with the support of other or
ganizations, is fighting. for legis-
lation to:
1. Outlaw racial segregation in
the Army.
2. Make it a Federal offense to
commit violence against any men,
Der of the armed forces.
3. Ban racial discrimination
against such personnel in places
of public accommodation.
4. Forbid the use of privately
owned restaurantes and hotels
which will not feed and house col
ored inductees together.
5. Eliminate racial designations

Drama OF Racial
Violence To Be
Presented Here

"Trial by Fire." dramatic play
based on the true facts of an
incident of racial violence, will be
presented for the first time in
Phoenix at the Civic Playhouse on
February 1924 and March 3-4, it
was announced this week. The
production will be directed by the
author, the Reverend George H.
Dunno, S. j., assistant parish priest
at ST. Francis Xavier's.
Casting, which began last Sun
day, will continue this Friday
night, February 2, at 7:30 pm. at
the Playhouse, 1885 East McDow-
ell Road. Father Dunno indicated
that he is having some difficulty
in securing the full cast and urged
all interested amateurs to try out
for part. The interracial cast
calls for eight Negroes, including
two children from to 10, two
women and four men, and eleven
white men and three white women.
Already produced in New York
City, Chicago, Hollywood, and sew
eral European cities, Trial BY
Fire" has received high praise
from the critics. Langston Hughes
called it lone of the most effect
i've, provocative and moving plays
on race relations in America that
I have ever seen. Not only good
for race relations, it is also a
good show. 1t will keep you wide
awake"
The Phoenix performance is
being co-sponsored by the Civic
Playhouse and the Greater Phoe-
nix Council for Civic Unity. Mr..
Samuel Langerman, Mrs. Louis
Jordan, Mrs. L. P. Hedgpeth, and
Mrs. William P. Mahoney, Jr.,
have been named as co-chairmen
OF the committee that will solicit
patrons for the event, the pro-
ceeds from which will be used for
the work of the Council.
The play centers on a coroner's
inquest following an explosion in
which a Negro family is killed and
it's home destroyed. The suppress
sion of evidence by the district
attorney, which occurred in the
actual incident and which forms
the main theme of the play, led
Father Dunno to write the drama
in 1916.
Father Dunno has been in Phoe-
nix for over two years, having
previously taught at Loyola and
st. Louis Universities and served
as missionary in China. He holds
doctorate in political science
from the University of Chicago
and law degree, and has won
acclaim as a philosopher and the
ologian. A prolific writer, his ar
ticles on racial and social injustice
have appeared in many leading
publications, and he is nationally
known for his attacks on racial
prejudice and discrimination.

eight miles east of Phoenix
desert about eight miles square and
some years back, was set aside as
a park. Here they held their drills
and maneuvers, thru the hot sum-
mer months, and bivouacked all
ever the surrounding deser t
country. They were about 5000
men and officers who had formerly
been stationed in Mississippi. It
was said that the men had been
unruly there and most of the in
fantry was made up of companies
that had caused trouble and was
thrown into one outfit and shipped
to Arizona. After this they were
to be sent to North Africa as soon
as they were conditioned. How true
this is, do not know. But do
know that the conduct of some of
the men in this outfit was the
worst I've seen of men in uniform.
While on the other hand some of
them were as swell as any you
wanted.
AS in all the drafted army and
navy these men were drafted from
all walks of life and all parts of
the country. And you had the
same amount of law breakers as
you had in civilian life. But with
a uniform on, this particular brand
of soldier seemed to have the mis-
construed idea he could get by
with most anything among the
civilian population. Some of them
thought they were untouchable to
civilian authorities, even while on
pass.
Many of these men obtained
nightly passes into Phoenix and
many more had weekend passes,
while there were others who came
to town any time they wanted to
as long as they could get by with
it. These men while on pass were
policed by men of their own outfit,
who were designated while on pass
as M.P.'s for that special duty.
Most of them had little or no police
experience, but were picked out
and given gun and brassard.
Naturally they had friends among
