LONDON, Aug. 10. - The
brawling. screaming mobS of the
Teheran streets and bazaars
may now hold the destiny of
Iran in their hands.
While old Premier Moham-
med Mossadegh is still alive, the
issue remains unresolved.
Reported ousted today, only
two days ago he apparently still
commanded the fanatical sup
port of the little merchants in
the bazaars and the street
brawlers armed with rocks and
sticks.
= For the past year and a half,
with minor exceptions. he has
had the backing of the strong
and well-organized outlawed
Tudeh (Communist) Party. the
most powerful single political
group in Iran.
Unless Mossadegh overnight
lost all this support. or unless
the army revolted en- masse and
arrested all the old mans chief
lleutenants, it is difficult to
imagine Mossadegh going down
without a fight to regain his
power.
Fought so Years.
For more than so years the
willy Mossadegh. fighting always
in opposition. struggled to seize
power in Iran. After having
had it for more than two years
he is not going to give it UP
easily.
In July. 1852, I saw the mobs
put Mossadegh back in power
after he had resigned in a dis
pute with the Shah and had
been succeeded by his ancient
rival, the 82-year-old Ahmed
Qavam.
First there were the demon
strationS in front of the Parlia-
ment Building, innocent appear
ing at the beginning. Then out
of the sleazy bazaars and slums
the mobs came, shouting Death
to Qavam," Death to the Shah,"
'MoSsadegh or Death"
They Stormed through the
sweltering streets stoning the
police, smashing windows dis
playing pictures of the Shah,
tearing their clothes, pushing
their bare breasts up against the

Qavam had sent into the streets.
Many Had Died.
Many of them died. Their
comrades smeared their shirts
in the blood of the dead,
dragged the corpses through the
streets and still battled the SOL

who remained in his home be-
hind high walls on a quiet
Teheran street.
All through the day and into
the night the mobs roamed the
streets burning. pillaging,
Shouting-until finally Qavam
resigned and the Shah recalled
the troops to their garrisons.
Then the crowds descended on
MoSSadegh's home, their eyes
burning with fanatical fire, and
shouted hosannaS for the old
man.
1t happened then-and it
could happen again.
In those days, however. Moss
adegh also had the backing of
Ayatullah Kashani, the British
hating, intensely Nationalist old
religious leader, whose aSsassins
and hoodlums paved the way for
Mossadegh'S original appoint
ment as premier.
But the two apparently split
over Mossadegh's piecemeal as
sumption of total power in Iran.
Kashani Is Big Question.
The big question now is where
does KaShani Stand-for MoSSa-
degh or for the RoyalistS?
Kashani is as shifty as a piece
of quicksilver. Despite his recent
conflicts with MoSsadegh, who
threw him out of Office as
speaker of the Mails Parlia-
ment), Kashani has never been
a lover of the Shah.
Last February, when Mossa-
degh's quarrel with the Shah
over rule of the army came to
a head. KaShani sided with the
Shah. KaShani mobs chased
MosSadegh in his pajamas and
he had to flee his house.
But Mossadegh's partisans
came into the streets and grad
ually got the upper hand in
demonstrations before the Par
lament Building.

Teheron Revolt NewsIs Surprise Here

Failures sometimes come at the
last moment after it had ap-
peared the premier had substan-
TALLY agreed To all important
points of negotiation.
Mossadegh has also shown a
tendency, alarming in the west
ern view, to give rein to Trans
Tudeh Communist party when
it suited his own immediate po-
litical purpose. The Commu-
nistS. for example, have re-
Gently been active and yesterday

Mossadegh's apparent triumph
over the followers of the Shah.
Russia Is Big Threat.
1t is the Communist threat to
Iran with its rich oil resources
and its strategic position be-
tween the key countries of India
and Turkey which is the prin-
cipal source of worry here.
for many months that some time
Mossadegh might everyday his
hand with the reds, the country
would go Communist, and the
Kremlin would have made an
other conquest extending its
power into highly important
area.
Red domination of Iran would
stretch the Iron Curtain from
the Arctic to the Indian Ocean,
cutting the world in half.
There has been no such fear
with respect to the Royalists.
The feeling in Washington and
London seems to have been that
probably no other non-Commu-
mist political leader would take
the chances MoSSadegh has been
willing to take with the Reds.
and almost anybody else would
be more reasonable to deal with

AttIee Urges Admission
Of Red China 10 u. n.
By the Asseciated Press

BLED. Yugoslavia. Aug. 19.-
Clement Attlee, chief of the Brit
ish Labor Party, yesterday urged
admission of Red China to the
United Nations.
He is the guest of the Yugo-
slav government, which shares
his view on this point.
Mr.. Attlee said in response to
a question at a news conference
that admission of the Peiping
government is mot a matter of
comforting a favor but of recog-
milton of fact"
He was asked whether he
would also favor the admission
of Spain.
II personally would regret, of
course, the admission of Spain,
but we have to recognize that
is the government in SPAIN"
he replied.
He criticised Yugoslavia's sin
gle party system of elections.

system "full democracy is lack

MOssadegh's Grip like.
Mossadegh has kept vice.
like grip on Iran for more than
two years. He has repeatedly
crushed opposition to his regime,
whether it has come from par
liamentary rivals, religious lead
ers or the palace.
Once only did he give up the
premiership. That was when
Ahmed Qavam took over the
government. But Qavam lasted
only three days before rioting
supporters of Mossadegh swept
him out of Office.
The latest revolutionary bid
may yet turn out to be short
lived because the nationalist
minded Mossadegh still COM
mandS tremendous support in
the bazaars and in the slums of
Trans Sprawling, teeming cities.
One other main factor seemed
unsettled: Just how long will
the Communist Tudeh Party
hold its hand?
The Reds, in the view of most
Western diplomats, are the best
knit, most coherent political or
ganization in the country. For
months they have aligned them
selves with MoSsadegh in his
row against the palace. It may
be that they will act now-espe-
cially if it seems that any new
regime may be ready to stamp
out their party, which officially
is illegal.

The State Department kept
close watch on turbulent Iran
today. keenly aware that great
issues are at stake in the struggle
for power between Premier Mos
sadegh and royalist supporters.
Authorities here were initially
somewhat surprised by the Te-
heran broadcast of the revolt
news. Since royalists had failed
to seize the government from
Mossadegh four days ago when
the Shah fled the country, it
had been assumed that their
ability to act effectively was
probably crippled for the time.
United States Ambassador 10y
Henderson saw MosSadegh yes
terday and gained the impress
sion that Mossadegh was FIRMLY
in the saddle despite the great
ferment among the population.
Shah's People Are Preferable.
If the United States, Britain
and other western countries had
a choice, they undoubtedly
would prefer TO see the Shah'S
people rather than Mossadegh
in power. Officially and diplo-
matically, however, their atti-
tude SO far has been one of
hands-off neutrality.
officials here and in London
have felt for long time that
it was impossible to do business
in rational manner with Mos
sadegh, an ailing old man and
extreme nationalist.
Several attempts to settle
Trans basic economic political
problem-its paralyzing dispute
with Britain over oil nationali-
zation two yearS-have failed in
negotiations with MoSSadegh.

said today the situation in Iran
is very unclear.
(The latest report from the
American Embassy in Teheran
was that crowds were maSSing
in different parts of the city
and that at least some of
them were anti -MoSsadegh.
This report was filed at noon
in Teheran, which is 4::30 am.
in Washington.

monitors heard the same an
nouncement over the Teheran
radio as reported from Lon
don.
(OfficialS said the fact that
the Teheran radio later went
silent did not necessarily mean
that anti-Mossadegh forces
which had seized the station
were able to hold it,
RiOting Reported Previously.
The earlier reports from Te-
heran said there were violent
demonstrations in the streets of
the capital. But the reports indi-
Gated at the time that the dem
onStrators were Mossadegh's own
supporters, backed by Commu-
nistS. Scores of rioters in the
capital were thrown into trucks
and hauled off to jail. At least
six were badly injured.
In the silk-producing center
of Resht, $50 miles northwest of
Teheran near the Caspian Sea,
three men were shot when troops
opened fire on demonstrators at
tempting to overthrow a statue
of the shah.
Three men also were badly
injured in Teheran when Com
munists stormed and demolished
a club run by the extreme ma
tionalist pan-Iran party.
The reported insurrection
came after months-long battling
for power between the aged
Mossadegh and the palace.
AS the Shah left Iran Gen. Ia
heidi, the army strong man. is
sued a statement from a noun
tain hideout that the monarch
had named him Premier in place
of Mossadegh.
The government had kept up
it's hunt for Gen. Zahedi. It Of
fered a reward of 100000 rails
($1,195) for his capture. He had

with the Shah reached a climax

Churchill Informed.
The British Foreign Office
rushed the radio reports, to
Prime Minister Churchill at his
country home in Kent, but said
1t had no confirmation of the
coup.
Monitors here said a welter
of confused shouting accom-
panied the reading of the first
communique from Teheran. The
tumult apparently was a row
over who should read the an
nouncement.
One voice said: Let me read
it,"
Another: "No-I want to 1ead
it,"
Then came a voice of reason:
1T doesn't matter who reads it
as long as it gets read"
COmmunique Is Read.
Then a man introducing him
self as Col. Pahlavon came and
read this communique:
"The government of Mossa-
degh has been defeated.
II am one OF the soldiers and
one of the devotees of this
country. A number of traitors
like Fatemi (Foreign Minister)
want to sell out the country to
the foreigners.
The Iranian royalists have
defeated the demagogue govern
ment through which Hussein Fa-
tenli was ruling.
The Persian nations officers,
army and the police have taken
the situation in their hands. Pre-
mier zahedi will assume his post.
There is no place for anxiety.
Keep calm"
After the communique over the
Teheran station there was more
confused shouting, monitors said.
Station OFF Air, Then Returns.
Then the radio played the IRAN
ian national anthem and went
off the air at 1920 pm. British
time 1920 am, EDIT. It re-
turned later with the invitation
to the Shah to come back.
''At this time the people have
been able to capture the capital.
We are eagerly waiting for your
return" said the broadcast.
Still later. the station broad
cast a plea to the population to
keep calm. A major came on the
air and said:
Listen. I am an infantry Of
ficer who has been retired by
Mossadegh the traitor. We have
proved to the world that the
Iranian army is the protector
of this country and is under the
command of the Shah"
A woman's voice called on the
Iranian people "to prove that
foreigners cannot capture the
country" and added: "Iranians
love the Shah. MoSSadegh is
sending your country to the gov
ernment of the hammer and
sickle"

Heat Danger Zones

In Delaware, summer heat is

Heat lowers poultry profits BY

How much heat can poultry
stand without showing these symp-

had large crowds and good attend
ance. Those who remember the
life and work of that church are
! agreed that the people loved the
Lord and the church. Revivals
were known to have changed the
lives Of people.
Shall the Church be ReOpened
The question of reopening the
Laws Church came to the forefront
several years ago. The small group
of church folks near Greenwood,
saw possibility. There were folks
as far back as 12 years ago from
this Mennonite group, who visual
lied opening a Sunday School there.
In 1949 and 1850 several young men
of this group asked their Mission
Board to look into the possibilities
of purchasing the Laws Church.
The matter was considered and in
vestigated.
The Church Was Purchased
Early in 1853 the Mission Board
of the c. A. Mennonite Church of
Greenwood, Delaware, secured the
church property.
The Greenwood folks were soon
busy in cleaning up, repairing and
painting. The old church property,
as well as the lot across the road
told school lot and .hitching lott
were purchased from the Methodist
Conference of the Peninsula.
Rehabilitation Sunday Afternoon
The church will be opened on
Sunday. July II, and there will be
plans for an appropriate rededica-
ton service. A Sunday School will
be opened Sunday morning, and at
2:OO p. m, program will be given
including a dedicatOry sermon.
The church will be rededicated by
Bishop Nevin Bender of Greenwood.
Regular Services
There will be a Sunday School
each Sunday morning and as soon
as plans materialize, there will also
be regular morning worship and
preaching services. The commun-
ity round about the church is heart
lily invited to attend. We give a spe-
cial welcome and invitation to at
tend the dedication services on
Sunday afternoon at 200 o'clock.
