On Ironidn Economic Crisis

The Shah appealed to Tehe-
rams wealthy bazaar magnates
yesterday to help him better the
lot of the country's miserable
poor in new general campaign
to counterattack communism.
His new pro-WeStern govern
ment cracked down on pro-
MoSsadegh and pro-Communist
forces in all directions.
Describes Economic Crisis.
Shah Mohammed Reza Pah-
levi told them ousted Premier
Mossadegh had left the countrys
economy in terrible shape and
called for help to correct it.
The appeal was authoritative
ly interpreted as calling on the
bazaar millionaires' to invest
their wealth in projects to build
up Iran instead of sending it
abroad.
Gen. zahedi announced yes
terday his government would
continue negotiations with Rus
sia for II tons of gold, begun by
MoSsadegh IL days ago, despite
the stern anti-Communism of his
government. Iran claims the
gold for services rendered Soviet
troops during World War II.

building program throughout the
country to provide work and to
give the Iranian economy a good

France Near Normal
As Strikers Return
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Aug. 26. - France
struggled back to normal today
after almost three weeks of dis
location because of strikes. The
general back-to-work movement
encountered only a few islands
of resistance.
Railway trains were running
again. Paris buses and subways
were back on schedule. Big bun
dies of mail were being delivered
after the long tieup. Telephone
calls could be placed to most
parts Of France, although traffic
was much heavier than normal
and delays sometimes were long.
The two biggest holdout in
duStries were the nationalized
gas and electricity works and
coal mines. Even here, there was
some improvement. Gas and
electricity were supplied through
out the strikes except for minor
disruptions. In some provincial
towns, the regular workers were
reporting back today.
The coal mines in Eastern
France were starting up again
with almost a full complement
of workers, but there was little
activity in the big northern
basin, the most important in
France. Sufficient reserves of
coal are available to avoid any
pinch from a continuing strike.
The strikes, which at one time
had about 4 million persons off
the job, developed as a protest
to proposed economy DEGREES af-
fecting workers in government
run industries. Premier Joseph
Laniel's government has not an
nounced it's final decision on the
DEGREES.

East Germany Urges
Bonn TO Accept Red
Proposals for Unity
By the Asseciufed Prsss

BERLIN. Aug. 26.-The Com
munist East German parliament
declared today it is ready to
Join with West Germany in
forming a provisional govern
ment to organize German unity.
The action, taken in the form
of resolution, came at the
windup of two days debate in
the VolkSkammer peoples
chamber. or lower house,.
The debate was devoted en-
tirely to details of the Soviet
East German agreement an
nounced in Moscow Sunday.
Under that agreement, the
Russians granted certain politi-
cal and economic concessions to
East Germany. A joint Russian
East German communique at the
time repeated previous Russian
demands for establishment of a
provisional alderman govern
ment ahead of alderman
elections. The Western allies
have previously rejected this
Soviet view. insisting that free
elections should come first.
Appeal to BundeStag.
Johannes Dieckmann, Volk-
skammer president. read the new
resolution, which was framed in
the form of an appeal to the
West German Bundestag dover
house of Parliament) to go along
with the Russian plan for Ger
man unity. The VolkSkammer
voted unanimously for the res
olution.
Prior to the adoption, Walter
Ulbricht, deputy premier and
East German Communist boss,
demanded that the West Ger
mans turn their backs on all
their major parties and vote
Red in their elections September
6. Ulbricht talked in the Volk-
Skammer for an hour and half,
firing successive blasts at the
West.
He repeated the Communist
demand for setting up an all
German provisional government
prior to holding nationwide
elections.
Calls for Unity Vote.
Turning to the West German
elections September 6, he de-
clared:
"The voters should elect a gov
ernment that is ready to meet
with representatives of the East
over the reuniting of Germany
and the conclusion of a peace
treaty"
Ulbricht's standards can be
met only by the Communists,
whose tagging fortunes in the
Vests 1949 election were down
to less than five per cent of the
total vote. Both Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer's Christian
Democrats and the opposition
Socialists have rejected any idea
of meeting with the East Com
munist regime on the unity issue.
Keeping up the sessions theme
of thanks to the Russians for
their announcement they are
ending East Germany's repara-
tionS payments on January l.
Ulbricht charged that West Ger
many now must use almost 35
per cent of it's budget for allied
occupation costs.
