There is no doubt that indiscriminate wire
tapping can lead to serious abuses. 1t is equally
certain, however, that abuses can be prevented
through proper supervision and direction of police
officers engaged in tapping wires This being the
case, it is absurd to give criminals kind of
judicial immunity from an effective police
weapon especially in period when crime, or
ganized and otherwise, is becoming one of our

Spires Of the Spirit

There is something new under the sun
in our National Capital Moslem
mosque. The fact that graceful nina
ret now rises above richly artistic edi-
flee, designed to be religious and cul-
tural center, marks Washington as more
than ever world city. An Islamic nina
ret thus takes its place amid a forest
of spires, in the monumental capital on
which are focused the eyes of a. fear
haunted world. This, which one has
called "a poem against the sky" is
warmly welcomed to this expanding
metropolis, in which the illumined dome
speaks Of freedom that is white and
winning and of an America whose roots
are deep in spiritual verities.
The lifting of religious symbol rev.

who look to Mohammed as the prophet
Of the Eternal, and who, also, in their

event in the present global struggle twixt
the darkness and the light. In that
titanic contest, America is the destined
arsenal Of liberty. and the Islamic hosts.
with their emphasis across the ages
on the One God over all, have much to
contribute.
This dream of marble splendor, oc-
cupying one of the most commanding
sites of the Capital, for more than a
year has been opening like a rare bios
som of architectural loveliness. Apart
from its religious significance, the build
ing is such creation Of sheer beauty,
climaxed by the towering, ethereal glory
of the minaret. as to make every lover
of the Nations Capital grateful that
such gem has been added to her treas
ures. The almost breathtaking vision Of
exquisite proportions, with blue patches
which seem to have fallen from the
bending skies. somehow seems to frame

British-Ironion Deadlock

There is hope, faint though it may be- that
renewed discussion Of the 18-months-old Iranian
oil crisis may yet result in some formula for
breaking this costly and Senseless stalemate
Conversations on the subject have been held
between Secretary Acheson and British Foreign
Secretary Eden in recent days in New York
While neither the British nor the Iranians have
shown any signs of willingness to change their
positions of the moment the State Department
has been digging deeply into the controversy in
search of some new proposal which might be
accepted, or at least considered, by both prin-
cipals.
In the American viewpoint there is an ur
gency to getting the Iranian oil industry back in
operation and pumping some new vitality into
the Iranian economy. The British, evaluating
the Communist menace in Iran as less grave and
less immediate than do our American observers,
are more inclined to let the issue drag on With
lofty detachment from reality, the Iranian
government of Prime Minister MoSsadegh appears
content to deal in propaganda statements while
letting the country suffer the consequences Of
its most important industry being shut down
completely.
The latest Iranian expressions on the matter
were contained in DR.. Mossadegh's message to
the British people following his action of break
ing off diplomatic relations, and in the utter
ances of Iranian representatives before the
complaints against the Anglo-Iranian Oil Com
pany and the British government. DR.. Mossa-
degh renewed his demand for immediate pay
ment of 20 million pounds as a preliminary
condition to even limited arbitration Of the
British claims for compensation for it's expropri-
ated property, although the obligation" for this
sum is based upon 1949 agreement which Iran
itself refused to ratify There was no concilia-
tory tone or new basis for either negotiation or
arbitration in any of the Iranian statements.
There are, however, certain fundamental
compulsions behind both the Iranian and British
positions which should force them eventually to
seek settlement of the issue. Even the prinai-
tive economy of Iran cannot go indefinitely
in the goth century with its greatest single
of revenue completely shut down. For Is months
various expedientS-Such as defaulting on pay
rolls and contractual obligations restrictions on
imports, bank loans and bond issueS-have been
applied. Their effectiveness is diminishing and
the political climate is worSening. On the other
side, the AIOC-the British government being its
largest stockholder-has vast investment tied
up without shilling of current earnings And
for the West as whole, there is the tangible loss
of the oil production and the threat Of another
country falling into the Communist orbit.
- It is now planned that Secretary Acheson
will attend the Eisenhower Truman conference
on Tuesday, along with other top advisers Of
the two principals. The Iranian problem is
sufaciently important to be on the agenda Of
the meeting.
