|Mossadegh DEGREES
1917 Cut in Farmers
Payment 10 Landlords
By the Associated Press

TEHERAN, Iran, Aug. IA
Trans down-trodden Sants
looked forward today to a new
deal"-an extra 10 per cent cut
from the giant-sized landlords
share of what they produce.
The decree ordering a better
break for the nations poverty
stricken sharecropping farmers
was issued yesterday by Premier
Mohammed Mossadegh.
It also specified that the land
lords must deposit another 10 per
cent of the income from their es-
tates in special rural banks to aid
needy farmers. @>->
The decree was the first Of a
series of reforms promised by the
aged Nationalist leader VIII e n
Parliament this week granted him
the right to rule with near-dicta-
torial powers for six months.
Blow to Red Propaganda.
The first decree Is expected, to
take some of the wind out of
Communist propaganda blasts
for land and agricultural reforms.
Most of Trans arabic land is
owned by a comparative handful
of large landholders.
Until now, Iranian peasants
have received only a tiny share
of what they produced on the
privately-owned estates. The exact
amount varied according to ar
rangements between the tenant
and the landowner.
Mr.. Mossadegh's decree was
highly technical apd complex.
In general. however. it specified
that, effective Immediately, land
lords must turn over 10 per cent
of their share of the produce and
cash income of their estates to
the tenants.
It added the rural banks, into
which the landlords must deposit
another 10 per cent, will be estab-
lished shortly.
Will Go for improvements.
In addition to aiding hard
Ipressed farmers, this money will
be used for water systems, i'm
proved sanitation, low-cost hous-
ling and aid to orphans. the de-
cree declared.
The government order also
Icalled for stiff fines for violations
/ Mr.. Mossadegh also was re-
ported ready to levy a 2 per cent
tax on landlords to meet the near
bankrupt governments bills.
Iran has been suffering f1nan-
cially since it nationalized the
|; Iranian properties of the British
controlled Anglo -Iranian Oil last
year and the British retaliateo
. with a blockade of Iranian oil. A
large share of the governments
income previously came from oil
revenues.

more than the required signatures
Some 10000 names on the charter

more than are needed. AS of last

Formal approval of the charter

ArnaII Sticks 70 View
That Living Costs Will
Climb 10 New Highs
BY the Asseeioted Press

Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall to-
day stuck to his prediction that
the country is in for another round
of price increases that will send
living costs zooming to new high
this fall.
The Nations price chief, who
plans to quit September /, told
reporter all the signs point to in
creasing imitation in the next three
months or so.
Mr.. Arnall's fellows in price
policy-making, Secretary of Com
merce Sawyer and Economic Sta
bilizer Roger L. Putnam, have dis
counted the likelihood of any big
push in prices, but Mr.. Arnall said
he believes the steel price boost
and rising wages in other indus
tries will provide the spark to set
OF price increases.
Calls Figure Conservative.
II still stick to my prediction
that living costs of every family
will go up at least $100 a year
as a result of the price boost for
STEEL" Mr.. Arnall said. II feel
that is a conservative figure be-
cause of other factors involved.
Time alone is going to prove that
figure correct"
AS a result of ceiling boosts for
steel, aluminium and copper-the
three basic metalS-Mr. Arnall'S
Office of Price Sterilization is at
work now on an order to permit
fabricatorS and manufacturers of
consumer goods to increase CELL
ings.
Scores of these producers are
besieging OPS with requests for
the right to pass along to the con-
Sumer the higher cost of ma
terials. Many have asked per-
mission to raise their ceilings by
the full amount of materials cost
increase. In addition they point
out that their labor costs and
transportation rates have been go
ing up steadily.
For this reason they contend
they are entitled to more of a
boost than the amount reflected
by increased costs of raw material
such as steel.
Upswing Due in FaIl.
"Since big industry, the big pro-
ducers of these raw materials have
been given ceiling increases, you
can't expect to stand by and see
the smaller firms down the line
absorb that additional COST" Mr..
Arnall said.
ITO be fair and equitable as re-
quired by the law you have toI
give them increases too. OPS
didn't want to see steel ceilings
increased but they were increased
by higher stabilization authori-
ties"
One high OPS official told al
reporter he expects the next liv-
ing cost index late this month to
show slight decline. -
But, he said, the upswing viii
be under way again in September
and October as wholesale price
increases are felt at the retail
level. The July index was an all
time high.

Shipments Of Rubber
TO Russia and China
Total $1,000 Tons
By The Assoeicfed Press

Free nations supplied Russia
and Communist China with about
1000 tons of natural rubber in
the first half of 1852, the Com
tmerce Department reported to-
day.
Commerce officials added that
Great Britain was the chief sup
|plier, shipping about $4,000 tons
to Russia.
American officials who are
close to the problem of trade with
the Reds-a subject that stirs
stormy debate in Congress-said
this material undoubtedly could
have been of some strategic value
to Communists in Korea and
elsewhere.
Planes and trucks and other
equipment used by the Reds in
Korea. which require rubber, have
borne marks of manufacture in
Russia.
Not Unduly Concerned.
Although they would like to see
such trade curtailed, administra-
tion authorities did not view the
shipments as a matter of utmost
concern. They looked at it in the
light Of goods received by the
free world in exchange, and In
view Of the world picture of mill
|tary and civilian rubber supplies
The pattern in rubber trade
with Communists is a shift ir
shipments away from Red China
land toward Russia.
In the first six months of thi.
year, Russia received about 72,O0(
tons and China only 10000 tons
During the same period last veal
China received 67,750 tons anc
Russia only 28,500 tons.
The combined total of $4,000
tons this year compared with &c.
$50 a year ago.
Embargo Clamped on Goods.
Under a United Nations reso-
luton of May. 1851, Communist
China was branded as an aggres-
sor and an embargo was clamped
on shipment of militarily strate-
gic goods to the Red Chinese.
Britain. Malaga and other ma
tions have interpreted this en-
barge as applying to rubber, and
they have stopped all shipments
But Ceylon, not a member of the
~. NJ, was reported by the Com
merce Department to have
ishipped almost all of China's i'm
ports this year.
Russia's total of about 10000
tons included 59,066 from Brit
ain, 5000 from Malaga and
smaller amounts from other ma
tions.
! Shipments to Russia do not
violate directives of the United
States or the United Nations. A
!, United States law says countries
which ship strategic materials to
), Communists may be stricken from
the United States foreign aid pro-
gram. although President Truman
. may grant exceptions. But this
law does not list raw rubber as q
/ strategic material.
