President Promises to Consider
Trans Plea for Financial Aid

Zahedi was disclosed a few hours
after the President decided to
extend his vacation here by "a
hours.
He had intended to return to
the Summer White House in
Denver last night. but put off de-
parture until this evening after
landing the largest rainbow
trout he or any other member
of his party had caught since
coming to Fraser last Thursday.
1t measured 1925 inches and
weighed IA pounds.
Wrote Mossadegh In May.
Last May %, Gen. Eisenhower
wrote Mossadegh there was a
strong feeling in the United
States it would be most unfair
to American taxpayers to extend
considerable amount of eco
nomic aid to Iran so long as
that country has access to funds
derived from the sale of oil and
oil products"
That was a reference to the
oil dispute between Great Brit
ain and Iran, dispute the
United States has tried without
success to help solve.
Significantly, Premier zahedi's
message to Gen. Eisenhower said
the new Iranian government in
tends mot only to strengthen
the country internally, but also
to improve its international po-
sition."
The premier added the govern
ment will pursue a policy of
eliminating such differences as
may exist or which may develop
between other countries in a
spirit of friendliness and in ac-
cordance with accepted princi-
pies OF international inter-
course"
Mr.. zahedi said the people of
his country are anxious to have
prosperous, orderly nation in
which they enjoy higher stand
ards OF living and make greater
use of the talents and resources.
Il hope that the United States
will find it possible at this criti-
cal moment In Iranian history
to come to my country's assist
ance as 1t has done on occasions
IN the past" Mr.. Zahedi wrote.

Legion Will Take Up
Two Major Issues
As Sessions Today

cas- Legionnaires, turning back
to business after a gala parade.
today battle it out over Air
Force budget cuts and the Unit
ed Nations.
The two burning national
convention issues already have
caused split in the convention.
A floor fight was foreSeen at
least on the budget cuts Ques-
ton.
Perhaps the hottest issue on
the agenda is the Eisenhower
administrations SIS billion cut in
the Air Force budget and its de-
cision to cut back the Air Force
program from 143 to 120 wings.
The Convention Committee on
Aeronautics adopted a resolu-
ton calling for re-establishment
Of a 143-wing Air Force. This
will come up before the Conven-
ton Committee on Security. but
it is one Of the last items on the
agenda today and possibly could
be crowded of.
Could Be Blocked.
The resolution could be
blocked In the Security Commit
tee, but proponents say it def
nitely will be brought out on the
convention floor.
Norman Lyon, Pasadena,
Calf. member of the Aero
nautics Committee, told other
members not to get "out on a
limb by telling the Joint Chiefs
of Staff what particular number
Of wings we ought to have"
But Herman Nancy of San
Antonio, Tex. another commit
tee member, asked:
"Since when has the American
Legion ceased to have CUTS
enough to tell the Government
and the country what we think
Is good Tor lt?"
13 Resolutions Pending.
AS to the United Nations issue,
1t was indicated last night that
the Legion'S Foreign Relations
Committee would not call for
United States withdrawal from
the nroanizatinn
But this would not prevent the
question from coming to the
convention floor. There are .3
resolutions pending which either
oppose admission of Red China
to the U. N. or express a lack of
confidence in the U. N. as a Sc
curity organization.
Donald r. Wilson of Clarks-
burg. w. Va, a former national
commander, made a bitter at
tack against the organization in
a convention speech which
drew a mixed reaction from the
committee.
Most committee members,
however, were critical of the
u. N. in varying degrees.

is aware that both Miss Day and
Bolger are cheerful humans.
Nothing they do in april in
Paris" will mar their regulations
for this virtue.
There have been better musicals
than the new Day-Bolger produc-
ton, much better ones this OBJ
server would like to insinuate. but
there also have been more that
are less recommendable.
It will have to be granted the
latest Warner musical, for one
thing. that it has a refreshing
atmosphere. This is of all places,
the State Department. That's
right, the State Department.
After all these years in which
so many humans have been find
ing so many other things in our
foreign ministry, Warmers come
up with musical comedy idea.
There is to be, so the plot goes,
an arts festival in Paris. Bolger,
as the secretary to the secretary
Of an under-secretary is in charge
of inviting representatives Of this
country to participate. He is sup
posed to invite Ethel Barrymore
as the theater's emissary but he
gets the invitations mixed up and,
instead, he asks a chorus girl
named Ethel Jackson.
Miss Jackson naturally turns
out to be Miss Day. While she is
no Miss Barrymore, she turns out
to have some qualifications of her
own for representing this versatile
country at an arts festival.
No one, even in Hollywood, could
afford to be serious for a moment
about plot like that of april
in Paris" Director David Butler
and his cast certainly are not.
What they are up to is making
a few jokes, singing several songs,
dancing, romancing and looking
as attractive as possible in the
productions handsome Techni-
color.
Nearest thing to a character to
be sketched in april in Paris"
is the young State Department
underling assigned to Bolger. and
thus placed in safe hands. What
he represents is a youngish pa
trician bumbler from Boston who
can be dignified sand stuffy until
he becomes overloaded with cham
payne and overcharged with
awareness that Miss Day is quite
a dish. Blue plate. but what does
he care?
Bolger's fans will like it better
that he is given a chance to DEM
onstrate that he is one of the best
dancers to be found anywhere.
This he does in an opening tap
number in the sacred precincts of 1
the State Department which turns
out to be so zestful that the por-
rats of Washington and Lincoln
join him. It gives the film a
pleasing Bolger HaV0r that is
heightened later when he takes
over the kitchen of a French
liner and cooks up a number that
is really big.

Nothing could please the
Kremlin more than to have its
constant propaganda against

oft-repeated comment that the
United States and it's allies
have a vested interest in war
and really fear the coming OF
. peace.
The behavior Of the stock
market, which started dipping
downward recently when the
first moves of the Soviet peace
maneuvers were revealed, has
misled many people into be-
lieving that peace could bring
a business depression. What
many people fail to realize is
that the stock market reflects
Short-term rather than long
range trends and that it also
reflects uncertainty due to lack
OF information at the moment
concerning the meaning of
world events.
The administration sent Sec
retary of the Treasury George
Humphrey to New York to de-
