Group Protests Commerce
Street Proposal of High
way Department
NEW POLICEMAN

At the regular meeting of the
Smyrna Town Council, which was
held on Friday night, delegation
of Smyrna residents appeared, pro-
testing the removal of trees from
Commerce Street and urging the
opening of Glenwood Avenue as an
alternate route for traffic. This
group, which represented not only
Commerce Street, but the entire
town, presented a petition signed
by 135 persons in reference to the
proposed widening of Commerce
Street by the State Highway De-
partment. The petition read as
follows: 1--WE the undersigned want
to go on record as opposing the
cutting down of all the trees on
Commerce Street from the Four
Corners to the Clayton Road for
the purpose of widening the street.
Instead, we favor cutting Glen
wood Avenue through to the high
way for the accommodation of
through traffic. We consider that
the proposed removal of trees
would be an irremediable loss to
the homes on Commerce Street.
Widening the road would increase
the already heavy truck traffic,
which has caused damage to some
of the homes and much discomfort
because of the noise and heavy vi
bration. Increased traffic would
also endanger the lives of the many
school children who use Commerce
Street" A copy of this petition,
also signed by 1876 persons, will be
presented to the State Highway
Department at an early date. The
councilmen promised to make an
endeavor to have this matter clar-
fled with the highway department,
the council and the citizens, and
accepted the petition as presented.
New Policeman
The Town Council also received
the resignation of James Griffin,
member of the town police force.
John Stats was named to fill the
vacancy created by this resignation
on the customary six months trial
basis.

Iran Ready 10 Reopen
Closed Oil Refinery
Al Abadan Sunday
BY the Associated Press

Hossein Maxi, chief aide to Pre-
mier MoSsadegh in Trans oil ma
tionalization program, says the
worlds largest refinery. at Aba
dan-shut down for weeks because
of Trans quarrel with Britain over
its ownership-will reopen Sunday
The Anglo-1ranian Oil Co.,
which owned the refinery, closed
1t because its storage tanks were
filled and Iranian restrictions on
tanker loadings prevented move
ment of refined products. The
shutdown followed passage of an
Iranian law to take over owner
ship of the Anglo-1ranian installa-
tionS.
Prime Minister Mohammcd
Mossadegh and his chief oil ex-
pert, KaZem Hassibi, now are in
Washington, and there have been
hints at renewed negotiations to
settle the oil dispute.
Red Attack Plan Reported.
Mr.. Hassibi in Cairo last week
said Iran now could produce 80
per cent of the refinery's normal
output of 81 million tons annually
without the help of outside techni-
clans.
While the oil issue simmered,
Iranian police announced yester-
day they had seized Communist
orders showing Russia planned a
attack on Northern Iran
III Britain had sent troops to hold
the refinery.
A high authority, who declined
to be quoted by name, said the
Soviet Union planned to occupy
Northern Iran. in which Eussia
has long sought oil concessions,

but there were no indications the
Soviets had planned to risk a
clash with Britain by moving
southwark to the Persian Gulf.
Documents Found in Raid.
The authority said documents
detailing plans for a coup sup
Iported by Russian military forces
were found in a raid last Satur-
day on underground Tudeh Com
Imunist) Party headquarters in
Teheran.
A Russo Iranian treaty, signed
in 1912, gives the Soviet Union
the right to guarantee 1ranian
territory against invasion. There
had been wide speculation the
treaty would be invoked if Brit
ain sent troops to the oil area.
The authoritative sources said
elaborate instructions had been
issued to Tudeh cells in Northern
Iran. They called for revolt
against the government, seizure OF
police and government headquar-
ters and tribal uprisings. Wide
spread sabotage, to include the
burning of factories, explosion OF
fuel and ammunition dumps, and
the destruction of railways and
bridges, was 10 be spread to the
