TEHERAN, Sept. 12.-Oil-rich
Iran is being squeezed through an
economic wringer because she
cannot sell her nationalized pc
troleum and Britain is beginning
to turn the crank with new finan-
cial curbs.
The workman, the peasant and
the man on the government pay
roll haven't felt the pinch yet but
business men and some govern
ment financial experts fear an
economic crisis early next year
because of the loss of oil revenues,
royalties, payrolls and taxes.
Anti-British Premier Moham-
med Mossadegh counts on scrap
ing up enough money to keep his
supporters happy until parlia-
mentary elections in December,
chiefly from funds banked in Lon
don.
Ultimatum Postponed.
But despite failing financial
prospects and British trade and
money curbs, the government still
planned to send it's delayed ulti-
matum to Britain to resume talks
on the oil deadlock or move re-
manning British oil technicianS
out of the country. The ultima
tum was postponed yesterday.
Deputy Premier Hossein Fatimi
said the note will go to Iranian
Ambassador Nasrollah Entezam in
Washington for relay to London.
Informed sources said the step in
dicated Premier Mossadegh wants
the United States to act again as
mediator, through w. Averell
Hartman, President Truman's
personal troubleshooter.
Mr.. Hartman got the two
countries negotiating a second
time last month after their first
talks collapsed in June. But the
talks broke down again over
whether Britons or IranianS
should manage the nationalized
properties of the Anglo-Iranian
Oil Co., of which the British gov
ernment owns 81 per cent. The
company accounted for roughly
40 per cent of the national budget
in past years:
Restrictions Put on Sterling.
The British treasury announced
restrictions Monday on the use
of Iranian-held sterling, its con-
version into dollars and sale of
goods to Iran.
In the last week, MoSsadegh has
run into growing opposition in
parliament over his all-or- r-nothing
naturalization program. If the
economic storm blows up quickly,
1t will help the opponents who
hope to unSeat him before the
election.
The loss of is million pounds
($4 millionO monthly from oil
royalties has virtually emptied
Trans treasury. In July, Mossa-
degh got Parliament to approve
the use of IA million pounds
banked in London as part of Trans
currency backing-to finance cur
rent imports.
The government already has
spent 4 million pounds of the
London money.
Trading for Dollars Stopped.
The British treasury order will
hamper the use of the remaining
sterling in two ways:
1. 1t will stop trading of some
sterling for dollars to buy goods
from the United States. An Iran
ian official said this alone would |
not be too serious because Iran

Grown-ups must seem a, bit

average small fry when said
small fry reach the ''inquiring
age. !" Take this business of Santa
Claus. as f'rinstance. AS soon
as a child discovers that there is
considerable territory outside his
own back yard he is apt to
start asking how the old boy in
the red suit can cover his route
in one night and still satisfy Gus

ed up by adults and dearly be-

average second grader is wont to
regard that phrase with deep
suspicion as school teachers have

discovered this continent, the
home of the international Santa
Claus. capitalistic Uncle Sam.
II there is such a thing as a
corner on a sphere the American
taxpayer is certainly backed
plumb into it, which has nothing
TO do with how Santa gets
around to his clients in every
corner Of the globe.
You can yank the small fry
out of their diiemmas anent this

TEN NIGHTS BEFORE
CHRISTMAS
BY MARGARET EoRESMAN

But come on-a my house; There.
everything's quiet.
Mama and I had just struggled in
From resisting temptation and
fighting off sin;
The children we're nestled, each
in his own cot;
They'd all had drink and were
snug on the spot.
And mama in her kerehief, and

We're just ready to fold for a

Her stockings were hung on the
back Of a chair
And was all ready to let down

When outside on South Street
there rose such clatter
! knew I'd just have to see what
was the matter:
Away to the window flew like a
flash,
Tore open the shutter and threw
up the sash.

sand white as snow
