u. 5. Pressured Iran
To Deal With Britain

Assistant Secretary Of State
Henry A. Byroade today denied
that the United States put pres
sure on Iran to bring about that
Middle Eastern country's re-
sumption of diplomatic rela-
tions with Great Britain.
Mr.. Byroade addressed a con-
ference at Georgetown Univer-
sity. sponsored by the Middle
East Institute, a private organi-
cation. About 200 persons at
tended.
:. Biggest Problem Is Oil.
Trans most pressing need was
described by Mr.. Byroade as set
tlement of the oil problem so
that country can "once more en-
joy the revenue which would re-
suit from the large-scale flow
OF petroleum to world markets. /"
He declared this would greatly
simplify carrying out the Iranian
governments welfare program.
Mr.. Byroade warned that set
tlement will be far from easy.
The problem has emotional and
historic aspects, he declared, and
changes in the world oil situation
will affect the negotiations. He
said the United States stands
ready at any time to offer its
good Offices in helping to find a
solution.
Hoover Studying Problem.
He pointed out that Herbert
Hoover, jr., special assistant to
the Secretary of State on Pc
troleum, recently has been de-
voting his entire time to inves-
tigating the problem.
The Assistant Secretary de-
clared the advent to power of
Prime Minister Fazollah Zahedi
was "a repudiation of the sterile
negative policies of the past"
Mr.. Byrode paid tribute to the
strides already made under the
new administration. He said:
1.-THE Prime Minister has re-
ported to the Iranian people that
the new government is rapidly
establishing law and order; that
there has been some measure of
success achieved in Stabilizing
what was less than two months
ago chaotic financial situation" !"

New Mexico Ranch Closes
As Red War Casualty
By the Associated Press

TAOS, N. Mex, Dec. 12.-San
Cristobal Valley Ranch. de-
scribed in Government testi-
mony as a Communist indoc-
trination center, is closed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Craig Vincent,
the operators, announced yester-
day they were forced to close
guest-ranch activities because of
a two-year off-and-on battle
with anti-Communist inveSti-
gators.
Our guest business is a
casualty of war and Mccarthy
ism-not of free competition, /"
they said, adding they would
continue their farm and live
stock operations.
The 160-acre ranch, 80 miles
northeast of Los Alamos, the
city where the first atom bomb
was built. was plunged into the
news in February. 1852. At that
time. Harvey Matusow, self
styled FBI undercover agent,
said the ranch catered to Com
muniStS.
The Vincents Indignantly
denied it.

all walked out on him when he
started to make his first Sem
ate speech. Um. um, here it
is. You see, the Interstate
Commerce Commission had
been emasculated by a Su-
preme Court decision, saying
it couldn't fix railroad rates.
Teddy Roosevelt, who was
President, wanted the law
amended to take care of that.
Bob waited several months for
somebody to take the. matter
up and when nobody did. he
got up and made a speech on
it. In those days new Sem
ators were supposed to be seen

got going a lot of the others
began walking out. He just
remarked good naturedly-

important question is rightly

Soviet French treaty of al
lance signed in Moscow nine
years ago this month. In these
broadcasts the United States
is represented, of course. once
more as the chief villain in
Frances tragedy. The Ameri-
can aggressor- capitalists are
the ones who want to re-
establish the Hitlerite Wehr-
macht. they say. This mill
tarism, say these Soviet
spokesman, cannot threaten
the U. S. S. r. and her asso-
ciates in Eastern Europe. The
Soviet armies are so strong
that German militarism cam
not endanger their existence.
But the hearts of the Musco-
vites and their satellites are
bleeding for poor France,
which was fooled INTO seeking
security from America.
There is only one salvation
for France, say the Kremlin's S
voices: Return to your real
friends who stood by you 10y
ally in the first and second
world wars"
And the French are re-
minded that paragraph 3 Of
the treaty with the U. S. S. r.
provides that both sides con-
slider it their duty even after
the cessation of hostilities (of
the last war; with Germany
mutually to take all necessary
steps to eliminate any new
threat originating in that
country"
The EDO plan is regarded
now by the Russians for their
own political purposes and
honestly by the French as q
revival of German militarism.
1t is in this political atmos-
phere that Secretary Dulles
will attempt to- use his skill
to mend as much as possible
the NATO fabric. He seems
to have only one ace up his
sleeve. which may or may not
impress our French ally: That
whether France approves or
not, the security of the free
nations demands that Ger
many be rearmed.

Arlington Group
Urges 'Last-Resort'
County Sales Tax

The Arlington County Board
was asked by its Fiscal Advisory
Committee today to seek legis-
lation authorizing a general
sales tax-if the voters approve.
County heads agreed to refer
the revenue-gathering proposal
to a newly appointed interim
legislative committee.
Board member Alvin F. Kimel
warmly thanked the committee
chairman for the report. He
added: "I personally heartily in
dorse the report. 1t is step we
will have to face in the not too
distant future"
Robert A. Peck, board chair
man. also thanked the commit
tee for its constructive work"
L. L. Ecker-Racz, the Fiscal
Affairs Committee chairman, said
the sales tax recommendations
had been unanimously supported
by all committee members.
Cautious Approach.
The committee. at the request
of the County Board, explored
and reported on revenue sources
available to the county. The re-
port approached the subject of
sales tax with caution, using
these words:
Arlington does not yet need
sales tax. Your committee,
however, is less Sanguine about
three or five years hence"
Citing the need for early ac-
ton, the report pointed out that
if enabling legislation is obtained
in 1854, and if the voters ap-
prove the plan in a fall referen-
dunn, lit could at the earliest
produce revenues only for the
fiscal year 1885,"
Committee members said they
wish to make it very clear"
that their recommendation is
for legislation enabling sales
tax if it becomes necessary.
Last Large Producer.
A general sales tax, the report
added, is the one remaining
large revenue producer now in
sight for county government
purposes"
Other comments and recon-
mendations in the lengthy fiscal
report included:
A gasoline tax in Arlington
is not "practical' because it
would tend to divert gasoline
sales to nearby communities.
The committee recommends
that Arlington's legislative dele
gates in the General Assembly
should seek a more adequate
share in the ALLEGATION of State
funds for the secondary highway
system.
If every household in Arling-
ton paid 81 week in sales taxes
the county would gain about ST.
$50, 900 a year-roughly equal to
l per cent of the gross sales
volume in the county last year.
Coupled to Budgeting.
The county could support a
general = sales tax "only if it
were coupled with long-term
capital budgeting and financing"
Besides Chairman Ecker
RACE, other committee members
who signed the report were:
Ashton Jones, jr., vice chair
man; A. T. Lundberg. county
manager; Colin C. Macpherson,
county treasurer; T. Edward
Rutter, school superintendent;
J. Maynard Magruder, Arling-
ton delegate to the General AS
sembly; George Fischer, COM
missioner of revenue; Robert j.
johnson, executive secretary of
the Arlington Chamber of
Commerce.

DEATH? |
In few score years. all who |
read these lines will have van
ished from the face of the /
earth.
Every day. almost a hundred
thousand human beings finish \
their earthly span and pass off
into the vast beyond. That our
turn will come we all know. |
but when and where and how
we cannot be sure.
No merely human being ever
has been able to look into
eternity and tell US what it is
like. No scientific knowledge |
or scientific instruments can
pierce the curtain that divides
this world from that into which
all of us must eventually jour-
ney.
All we know about Gods
eternal plans for us =. all we |
know about what lies beyond \
the grave come from the |
God who made us and to the \
extent He has seen fit to reveal
it to us.
But we can face eternity |
without fear. For we do have
a definite answer to the mystery
of death. With the facts God
has put at our disposal through |
the inspired books of the Old
and the New Testaments. the
Catholic Church always has
given, and gives today, a def
mite answer to the tremendously
important questions raised by |
the fact Of death.
Mans life in this world, the
Church tells us. is a prepara-
ton for the world to come
testing-time which ends with
our death. What happens after
that depends on whether death
finds us loyal to God. or op-
posed to Him and the way He
expects us to live. =" it is
appointed unto men once to die
and after this the judgment"
(Heb. KID.
Christ gave us (Mau. XIV
description of Gods judgment
which leaves no room for doubt
that our worthiness of everlast-
ing reward will be judged solely
according to the way we have
lived our lives on this earth.
Death does not bring merely
a long, unconscious slumber.
but rather a quick awakening
to the irrevacable judgment of
our Creator. Nor does it bring
US a second chance TO prove /
ourselves or to amend our
erring ways. In our own hands |
rests the opportunity and |
upon our own heads the re-
sponsibilitv to determine if |
death shall be the threshold to |
everlasting life among the |
blessed, or among the lost.
Men blessed by youth and |
good health often feel that |
death for. them is far away
something to be worried about
only in the twilight years. Some
scott at the suggestion that an
everlasting hell could be per-
mitted by a merciful God. |
Others seem to think that God |
will treat them kindly if they |
live reasonably moral lives.
even though they pay Him no |
special honor which is His due. |
But whatever they think /
however they avoid the ques-
ton :. all men must eventually |
face the fact of death. To |
think about it wisely and /
in time is the most i'm /
portant thing in our lives. If

Spring Is Time
For Pest Control

Early spring is the time to
rid lawns of pests.
If the home owner is troubled
with moles and grubs in his lawn,
an early spring application of
pest control is essential.
According to experts, a chlor-
dane solution is the best method
of controlling grubs. If the grubs
are controlled, the moles will
seek elsewhere for food.
A 8 per cent chlordane prep
aration is recommended for lawn
spraying or dusting. Application
should be made when the grubs
are beginning to become active.
In controlling weeds in the
lawn by chemical application, it
is best to spray the weeds in the
late spring at the time Of active
growth.
