citizens anytime they wished, the
three men just drifted along wait
ing for . rnore convenient time to
take the step. The last Congress
passed new law providing that
quota requirements should apply
70 all persons granted citizenship
from any country during caIen-
dar year. This law became effec-
tive on December a, 1852.
Late In October the men learned
|of this law and rushed their appli.
cation for citizenship to the immi-
grafton authorities and finally got
their formal application on file on
Dec. q, two days before deadline.
In the past months these men have
been sweating It out as they
have gone through the channels Of
red tape which are required. Now,
after long months Of study and pre-
paratiOn they have taken the final
step and become citizens IF the
nation they have fought for in
japanese and Korean waters.

Henderson met again with Pre-
mier Fazollah Zahedi today to
discuss American aid to impov-
erished Iran. Iranian sources
said Gen. Zahedi stressed the
need for quick financial help
even in small amounts-to save
his new government.
In the second meeting within
a week, Mr.. Henderson and Gen.
Zahedi talked for two hours. Mr..
Henderson told reporters after
ward no decisions were reached
but that he and Gen. Zahedi
plan future meetings "of mutual
interest to both nations"
Both Gen. Zahedi and Shah
Mohammed Reza Pahlevi have
declared Iran was thrown into
virtual bankruptcy by EXPIRE
mier Mohammed Mossadegh,
ousted in a bloody coup by pro-
monarch forces August 10, and
that immediate aid was needed
to pull the new regime out Of
danger.
President Eisenhower implied
in a message to the Shah that
the United States had decided
to help the new anti Communist
government with dollars and
political support.
