that now is the time to under
take plant disposal"
He continued in a special mes
sage to Congress:
"The Nations security in its
rubber supply is, of course, of
paramount Importance in any
consideration of the disposal OF
these facilities. For such Sc
curity, two things are essential
namely, an adequate Stockpile
of natural rubber and a healthy
progressive synthetic rubber in
duStry.
"Our stockpiling objectives
are adequate and have been vir-
tually achieved and, from the
economic and chronological data
available to me, I am confident
that if the Government-owned
synthetic rubber facilities are
sold as recommended, competi-
tive private industry will amply
efficiently and economically sup
ply our synthetic rubber require
ments."
The President declared that
the facilities must be sold ION
such terms as will guarantee
their ready availability for the
production of synthetic rubber
in time of emergency"
The Governments original in
vestment in the synthetic rub
ber industry was about $700
million. The plants now op-
Grating supply virtually all of
the Nations synthetic rubber
needs.

now are operated for the Gov

Britain Pulls Back
From Bankruptcy,
Avoids New Taxes
Purchase Levies Cut
On Many Goods; Sugar
Rotioning Due to End
BY the Associoted Press

LONDON, April IA. Briton:
were told by their government
today that for the first time
since World War II they woulc
be free from new taxes during
the coming fiscal year.
Chancellor of the Excheque1
R. A. Butler, in the most opti-
mistic budget message in years
told cheering House of Com
mons Britain and the sterling
area have pulled themselves back
from the brink of bankruptcy
and are now paying their way in
the world.
The chancellor reduced pur-
chase taxes over a wide range OF
consumer goods ranging from
lipstick and jewelry to motor
cars, television sets and authors
royalties.
Tax Rebates ReinStated.
To encourage the moderniza-
tlon and expansion of British in
duStry, Mr.. Butler reinstated tax
rebates for businessmen who use
their profits to improve their
capital assets.
From now on firms will be
able to get tax rebates of 20 per
cent of the cost of new machin-
cry, 10 per cent of the cost of
new roads and buildings, and 4C
per cent of the cost of new mines
Further, Mr.. Butler said there
would be an early end of sugar
rationing. He said Britain had
arranged to buy a million tons
of Cuban sugar "at an advan-
tageous price"
Havana advices gave the price
for 100000 tons as 2a4 cents
below the world price of about
3 cents. This tonnage is for de-
livery this year, and virtually
disposes of Cuba's surplus. The
remaining 100000 tons at 3.Os
cents are for 1854 delivery.
The government subsidy or
domestic sugar will end, Mr.
Butler said.
Surplus in World Trade.
Mr.. Butler said Britain had 9
financial deficit of 1898 million
in trading with the rest of the

Teheran Mobs Riof
As Mossadegh Tries
To GET ArmyC Control
Malls Delays Action
To Thursday on Effort
To Curb Shuh's Power
BY the Associated Press

TEHERAN, Iran, April IA
Police used tear gas and clubs
to smash demonstrations in
downtown Teheran today over
Premier Mohammed Mossadegh's
attempts to Wrest control of the
army from the Shah.
But the Majlis-lower house
of Parliament-failed by one
member to raise a quorum and
thus delayed until Thursday any
legislative action on Mr.. Mossa-
degh's proposal to curb the pow
erS of Shah Mohammed Reza
Pahlevi, including army control.
Excitement Grips City.
An atmosphere of explosive
excitement gripped the city after
an announcement by a group of
army officers last night threaten
ing an armed revolt to protect
the monarchy.
The crowds defied a military
ban on demonstrations. They in
cluded supporters of both Pre-
mier Mossadegh and the Shah.
Morning newspapers carried
the text of the officers an
nouncement, which described
Premier Mossadegh as a foxy,
stubborn old man" and declared
the authors would leave our
service and together will rise" if
the Premier and his criminal
collaborators do not cease their
impertinent activities"
The authors were referring to
the resolution before the Mails
which would deprive the Shah of
control over any government
agency, including the army and
the security forces.
Communists Accused.
The resolution has been
pushed by Mr.. Mossadegh's sup
porters in the constitutional de-
bate between the Government
and the Shah that has been
boiling since February 2 when
mobs chased Mr.. Mossadegh out
of his home.
The announcement, headed
declaration of danger by active
army officers" said the nation
was now in the hands of foreign
agents" This was a reference
to the Tudeh (Communist) Party
which is giving Mr.. Mossadegh
support in his clash with the
Shah.
Tanks patrolled the streets
Army patrols kept open the ave-
nues leading to the Majlis Build
ing, where 68 deputies showed
up, one less than the number
required before an open session
can be held.
