Diplomat Can Claim Immunity
In Suit Policeman Must Face

company that brought up diplo-
matte immunity. He added that
the company had been insuring
diplomats on an average of 1900
policies a year for Is years and
in all that time, never had one
case that went by default because
a diplomat claimed immunity" I"
He said small sums had been paid
to the owners Of two or three
other cars grazed in the collision.
Allan Swingle. attorney for the
Hess family, said he had no al
tentative but to sue. He said he
drew up the complaint against
both the diplomat and the police
man but did not attempt to serve
papers on the diplomat because
of his claim Of immunity in the
earlier suit brought by Pvt. Dido.
Considered Settlement Small.
In the Dido case. according to
Attorney Sidney M. Goldstein who
represented the policeman in his
suit, the insurance company Of
fered to settle with Pvt. Dido but
he thought the settlement was
too small.
So a suit was filed in Municipal
Court for $4,000. Mr.. Goldstein
said the papers had been served,
the insurance company had filed
an answer and the case had been
set for jury trial last fall when
the State Department notified
him the ambassador had decided
to claim immunity.
Immunity Automatic.
Mr.. Goldstein contended that
"a diplomat can be sued If the head
|of the mission does not claim i'm
|munity for his subordinates. The
State Department, queried by The
Star on that point, disagreed. A
department official said the inn
munity is automatic if the diplo-
mat is registered with the State
|Department-and even sometimes
when he is not.
Attorney Richard w. Galiher,
who is representing Pvt. Dido in
the suit brought by the Hess
family, commented that in both
the Municipal Court suit brought
by the policeman and the District
Court suit brought by the Hess
family "the defense of diplomatic
immunity is preventing citizens of
the United States from prosecut-
ing what the record will show are
Just claims.

MOSCOW, July %. Prime
Minister Stain, other top Russian
officials and many foreign guests
watched the Soviet Unions Avia-
ton Day air show over Moscow
yesterday, but diplomats Of the
United States, Britain and France
stayed away.
The Western ENJOYS turned
down invitations in protest
against posters for the event
which showed Russian planes in
pursuit Of American craft. The
American, British and French air
attaches did attend the show,
however.
Putting a pipe and looking in
the pink, the 72-year-old Stain
took lively interest in the array
of Jet and conventional planes,
autogiros and parachutists which
filed the sky over the Tushino
airport for more than an hour.
His son. 1t. Gen. Vastly Stain,
played q leading role in the show.
Kennan Registers Objection.
United States Ambassador
George F. Kennan said he had
notified Soviet officials Of his OBJ
jections to the posters. An in
formed British source said Bri-
tain's ambassador. Sir Alvary
Gascoigne, felt the same way and
French Charge d'Affaires Jean
Brionval repeatedly agreed with
them.
The posters showed Soviet
planes chasing three planes with
United States markings. The de-
|scription under one said it depicted
an incident in the Baltic when an
American plane violated Soviet
territory but was driven of. The
second plane In the poster appar-
emily was one downed In Hungary
and the third referred to an Incl
dent In the Far East.
Aviation Col. Gen. p. Zhigarev
voiced sharp warnings yesterday
against alleged violation Of Soviet
territory by American planes. He
said, "All the provocations Of
American and other flyers who
have tried on orders from their
washington bosses to penetrate
the air spaces Of the Soviet Union
have encountered q vigorous re-
pulse by our military aviation" )"

An ironic example of diplomatic
immunity has shown up in Dis
trict Court.
A $50.000 damage suit in a
traffic death has been filed against
a Spanish diplomat and a District
policeman-although a coroner's
jury held the diplomat respon-
sible and cleared the policeman.
The irony of it is that the
diplomat can hide behind diplo-
matte immunity but the police
man has to defend himself.
The policeman has already had
a taste of diplomatic immunity.
He tried to sue the diplomat but
the case has never been tried be-
cause the Spanish Ambassador
claimed immunity for his aide.
Accident Last Year.
The fatal accident occurred on
February Is, 1851, when Mrs. Lii
liam c. Hess, a Casualty Hospital
nurse was killed across the street
from the hospital.
Vincente P. Santaliestra, then
second and now first secretary Of
the Spanish Embassy, was held
responsible. His car collided with
one driven by Police Pvt. Rudolph
Dido, causing the policeman's car
to spin around and hit Mrs. Hess.
The coroner's jury ruled that Mr..
Santaliestra had operated his car
with gross negligence and in q
willful and wanton manner"
In March, 1851, an attorney
representing the embassy and the
insurance firm with which the
diplomat was insured, said q set
tlement was assured" In the is
sue of This Week" appearing in
The Sunday Star last July 20. il
was stated that the diplomats Is
insurance company made a set
tlement with Mrs. Hess family.
That was incorrect. No settlement
has been made with the family.
Sure of Settlement.
T. r. Clarke, manager of the
Washington Office of the Allied
American Mutual Insurance Co.
with which Mr.. Santaliestra was
insured, said he was sure the case
would be settled. He said attor-
|neys for the Hess family orig
inally offered to settle for $780,
600. later talked about $4,000
but were still far above the
amount for which Mr.. Santalies-
ira was insured.
He said it wasn't the. Insurance.

Iran 0fficiaI, Offers
To Place Oil Dispute
Before World Court
sy the Assoeiassd Pres,

NEW YORK, July 28.-The
New York Times quoted Trans
new foreign minister. Hassan
Navab, today as saying that his
country is willing to test its oil
dispute with Britain before the
International Court Of Justice.
Iran had fought hard to win the
courts recent decision that it
had no jurisdiction in the case.
Britain has wanted the court to-
hear the case all along.
Navah. until now Trans min
lister to the Netherlands, told a.
Times correspondent in an inter-
view at Wassenaar. Holland. that
he would recommend that his
government and Britain volun-
tarily submit their dispute to the
world court because he thinks
Iran can win on the merits Of her
case.
Position Outlined.
In the Times interview, he out
lined this position:
The British already have rec
ognized the principle Of oil ma
tionalization; they accepted ma
tionalization in principle as q
condition for negotiations last
August over the future Of the
formerly British-run industry in
Iran. Navab said Britain later
contended that its recognition of
the naturalization principle had
lapsed with failure Of the talks.
Navab said he doubted that
Britain Is now so anxious to bring
the case before the court "after
what she has seen of the atti-
tude Of the judges. :"
The foreign minister said he
would oppose a request by the
British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil
Co. for the World Court PRESIDENT
to appoint sole arbitrator" forI
the case because there is no legal
ground for this request"
Three Bases Suggested.
He indicated he would make a |
new approach to Britain to dis
cuss compensating the company
on any one Of three bases:
/. The value of the property
before naturalization.
2. Britain's system for compen-
sating her own nationalized in
dustry.
3. Any other basis acceptable to
both governments.
A similar Iranian offer earlier
had been turned down by Britain.
Navab said an agreement on
compensation was needed so that
Iran could get a free hand to Gis-
pose Of her oil. He said, however,
that there would be no negotia-
ton on the issue of nationaliza-
tion-"That Is a closed book"
And under no conditions. he
asserted, would British technlctans
be employed in the Iranian oil
industry. even as individuals.

Importance

By Angelo Potri

One of the fundamental traits
OF good character. of successful
personality, is consideration for
other people. Without that con-
sideration the most gifted child
will be failure. His social con-
science is dumb, the result of
grievous mistakes that cost him
dearly.
1t is strange that well-trained
mothers and fathers, professional
men and women, can mistake
license for freedom, can believe
that a lack of discipline of any
sort is progressive education. Yet
it happens.
A father and mother, both
teachers. have two small children,
a boy aged 5 and a girl aged g.
These two children are undisci-
plined and thoughtleSs. They
have no consideration for others,
but run roughshod over the neigh
borhood earning the cordial dis
like of neighbors.
One afternoon the family visited
an old friend of the family who
lives in the country. He loves his
flock of pedigreed geese, his high
ly bred chickens and ducks. His
flowers are the best and brightest
and he cherishes every stem leaf
and bud and blossom.
Arrived at his house the two
youngsters were let loose. They
trampled the tulip bed. They
opened the inclosure and let the
chickens out. They stepped over
the low fence that kept the geese
on their feeding plot and the
gander nipped the boy. Scared
out of his wits the child tumbled
screaming out of the inclosure
His mother rushed out and the
children were taken into the
house.

they went out to get the car

full of dirt, old leaves. twigs and
sand which he discovered at the
base of a tree, on the floor, banged
the door and left.

"Give me a broom and I'll sweep
it up"
