| Killed, IS Hurt In Riot
AGAINST Reds in Teheran
BY the Assoeioted Press

TEHERAN, Iran, Jan. 5.-Sup-
porters of the Tudeh (Commu-
nist) Party clashed with extreme
rightists in parliament square
today. One man was stabbed to
death and Is others wounded.
Police and soldiers restored
order after IS minutes of bat
Ting.
The trouble started when
Tudeh members came to the
square as usual on Monday morn
ing to sell their weekly publica-
ton, Democrat Youth. Youthful
members of the Pan-Iran and
Sumka Parties charged the Tu-
deh vendors in an effort to pre-
vent sales. About 800 persons
were involved in the fighting on
both sides.
There also has been anti-Red
rioting in the Moslem shrine city

GOOD RECORD. - Robert
Ramspeck. who resigned last
week as chairman tf the Civil
Service Commission, leaves with
the good wishes of Federal en-
ployes.
During his two years in office,
Mr.. RamSpeck compiled an ex-
cellent record. His truth" cam
paign on behalf Of Federal
workers has boosted public es-
TEEN for the Federal service and
those who work in it. And Mr..
RamSpeck was the one who took
the lead in enlisting admins
tration support for the 1851
Federal pay. raise.
It's true that Mr.. Ramspeck
took an unpopular stand in his
unsuccessful attempt to prevent
an annuity increase for retired
Federal workers. But even this
may result in eventual good for
all Government workers, since
the issue Mr.. Ramspeck made
of the need for re-examining the
Federal retirement system re-
suited in the committee set up
by Congress to study Govern
ment pensions benefits.
All in all, MIR. Ramspeck COM
piled an excellent record as
commission chairman. His serv-
ices will be missed.
