Iran Breaks Off Relations With Great Britain
By MARC PURDUE

TERRAIN, Iran, (P)-Iran broke off diplomatic relations with Britain Thursday.
 It was a grave development in the bitter, 18-months-long dispute over naturalization of the 112 billion dollar holdings in Iran of Anglo Iranian Oil Company and seemed to rule out any chance now for a settlement.
 Premier Mohammed Mossa- degh, the frail but stubborn ad- vocate of standardization, made the announcement in a nationwide broadcast.
 By breaking off relations he made good a threat voiced several weeks ago.
 It was also his reply to Brit ish foreign office statement We'd nesday which lashed out personal 1y at Mossadegh, saying he had overstepped the limits of interna- tional courtesy in his attacks upon Britain.
 Mossadegh fired back Thurs day with charge that the British ..+by continuation of useless cor respondence" intend to merely waste time and prevent us from taking another economic path which would bring salvation and freedom to the Iranian people, 2
 In Washington U. s. officials said Mossadegh's decision knock ed sky high" efforts to find a solution to the oil dispute. They described the decision as most unfortunateD

Mechanical Heart For Humans Is A n III o n M C e 0
 By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE
 AP Science Reporter

DETROIT, {P) - A successful mechanical heart for humans, giving your heart holiday, was announced today.
 For 50 minutes, the amazing little machine pumped a mans blood through his body.
 Rumbling like quiet washing machine, it by = passed the left side of his heart. It detoured the blood coming from his lungs, and pulsed it back into this arteries.
 Empty of blood, with no work to do, the still-beating heart was opened to repair faulty valve.
 The man, fl, and not identified, is alive and well today, three months after the historic opera ton July 3.
 Only this one human success was announced-but with hint it has worked on other persons since.
 In dogs, this same pump has been rigged to bypass both sides of the heart, putting the whole heart on temporary vacation.
 In dogs also, it's been combined with an artificial lung to bypass the entire heart plus the lungs. The heart-lung machine someday may do the same for humans.
 This human success marks a milestone in medicine. With mech anical hearts, the heart can be laid open for new surgery, under direct view.

8th Army Estimates Red Casualties 1O,126 Killed, Wounded, 60 Captured

SEOUL, R)-Nearly 1000 Chi nese troops assaulted Snip IT Ridge on the central Korean front tonight under Red artillery fire so intense the South Korean de- lenders couldn't measure it.
 The. Chinese and ROKs closed in grenade-throwing, hand-to- hand fight for Pinpoint hill, cen ter peak on Sniper Ridge. Late reports said the desperately-bat- ting ROKs still held control of Pinpoint.
 But to the west, South Korean Ninth Division. troops pulled back off Iron Horse hill at dark after fighting Chinese throughout the afternoon.
 Communist dead filtered the frost-whitened battlefields as Red casualties mounted to record 1852 totals. In the bloody week ended Tuesday, the US. Eighth Army estimated the Communists lost 10,186 soldiers. The total highest since last November-in- cluded 5,S68 killed, 4,258 wounded and 60 captured.
 The BOX Ninth Division today reported it inflicted staggering 12,653 casualties on the Commun- ists-more than the strength of a full Chinese division - in nine days of see-saw fighting for White Horse mountain ended Wednes- day.

U. s. Demands Compensation For Lost B-29 Plane

WASHINGTON, {P1 - T h e United States charged today in note to Moscow that Russian planes made "wanton and un- iustifiable attack" on the Ameri- can B-29 plane missing off Japan since Oct. 2. The note demanded compensation.
 Payment is in order, the US. said, both for the loss of the plane and for the lives of any of the crew of eight who may have perished
 The US. declared the B-29 was on routine flight off the north ern end of Japan, was entirely unarmed and it's officers were under=-explicit orders to remain within Japanese territory.
 Whereas the Russians have con- tended the US. craft violated So- Viet frontiers, the US. note said the attack actually occurred some six miles from the Japanese is land of Ffokkaido and g miles from the Russian occupied Yuri island.
 The sharply worded US. note advised Moscow ito consider the grave consequences which can flow from it's reckless practice, if persisted in, of attacking without provocation the aircraft of other states"
 Moscow was asked to furnish an immediate report on the results of search operation believed to have been carried out by Soviet patrol boat, and to provide full information about any crew mem bers who might have survived.

Reds Fire Heavy Mortars On Town in Indochina; French Build Defenses
 By Larry Allen
By Larry Allen

HANOI, Indochina, (P)- Con- unist-led Vietminh troops, firing heavy mortars, brought the town of Nghia Lo, 100 miles northwest of Hanoi under direct fire last night as the French rushed more endorsements into the area.
 French mobile artillery fought duels with the Vietminh, who ad- vanced into the range of hills surrounding Nghia Lo. Seventy five fighter-bombers blasted away at the enemy gun positions.
 The advance of the Vietminh toward Nghai Lo, ordinarily pop ulated by about 5000 pro-French Thai tribal people, brought closer the possibility of major clash with the defending French and Thai forces.
 The bulk of about 10000 enemy soldiers were reported concentra- ted in the hills around Nghia Lo and in the mountainous positions to the northeast and southeast, within a 3O-mile area.
 The firing on Nghia Loj was with 31 to 120 nm. mortars and 75 nm. recoillless guns. This is the heaviest artillery employed by the Vietminh so far in the six year-long war in Indochina.

Legless Veteran
 Spared Govt Job By Court Ruling
Membership in Group
 Listed as Subversive Not Sufficient for Dismissal

WASHINGTON, (P)-The US. Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that mere membership in an or ganization listed by the Attorney General as subversive is insuffi- cient for firing a government worker.
 If the worker is to be fired, the court held, there must be in addi- ton to such membership finding of reasonable grounds for disloy- alty.
 The court ruled in a case in volving decorated, legless World War II veteran, James Kutcher of Newark, NJ. It held that Carl R. Gray, administrator of vererans' affairs, failed to make a finding Of reasonable grounds for disloy- alty in firing Kutcher.
 The court set aside an order removing Kutcher from the VA payroll, but let stand an order suspending him pending determi- nation by Gray "of the ultimate issue as to whether on all the evil dence reasonable grounds exist for belief that Kutcher is disloyal to the Government of the United States"
 Kutcher admitted membership in the Socialist Workers Party, generally described as the Trotsky wing of the Communist Party. This organization has been de- scribed by the Attorney General as seeking ito alter the form of the government of the United States by unconstitutional means" |"
 Kutcher lost both his legs while serving as an infantryman in Italy in 1943.
 The courts decision, written by Judge James Proctor, was unani- nous.

COPS Win 2l of 24 House Seats and
  6 of 9 In Senate
fBY THE ASSOCIATED PREssl

A Republican sweep of the Alaska Legislature "a complete reversal of the presidential year election in 1948-was assured to- day. as COP candidates took. the lead for all of the 10 House seats in the Third (Anchorage) Division. It appeared to be the strongest Republican surge in territorial politics since the start of-the New Deal era, although "a Democratic delegate to congress was elected for the l1th straight time Democratic delegate E. L. Bart lett ran up lead of 12,227 to 9,4O9 over Robert c. Reeve, An chorage Republican, on returns from 155 of the Territory's scat tered 249 precincts. It was a decisive victory for Bartlett, despite the most vigor- ous Republican campaign in many years against him, but his margin was cut sharply from the 4 to edge he had in 1948 and his, 2 to 1 in 1850.
 The big surprise of the election was the. almost complete domin- ance of the legislative races by the resurgent Republicans, who campaigned on the party's na- tional slogan: ''It's time for a change"
 1 The vote standings for mem bers of the lower house of the legislature showed Republicans elected to or leading for q out 1 of 24 seats. That is a direct re- versal of the 21-3 Democratic edge in the last presidential cleo ton year.
 Republicans also were elected to or leading decisively for six | of nine Senate seats at stake. Also, two of the three Democrats who appear certain of Senate cleo ton are two of the territory's most outspoken critics of Demo cratic Gov. Ernest Gruening and the faction of the party that sup ports him strongly.
 They are former Rep. Mark Jensen of Douglas and Sen. How ard Lyng of Nome.
 The third is William Egan, Democratic speaker of the House in 1851 legislature. He is Valdez merchant and generally viewed as a middle-of-the-roa
 Of the three Democrats lead ing for House seats, two are in the Nome division - Theodore Duffield and Charles Fagerstrorn and the third is Richard Greuel, a young Fairbanks city council man. /
 Republican Irving Mex. Reed, Fairbanks mining engineer, has a slim edge over Democratic High way Engineer Frank Metcalf. | The voters returned to office Auditor Neil Moore over Senator Anita Garnick of Juneau, Repub- lican nominee. The Auditors post is key one, aside from office routine, because he is member of the Territorial Board of Ad- ministration.
