Shah Of Iran Sees
Less tension Among
Nations Of World
BY the A.soeia,sd Press

Shah Mohammed Reza Pah-
levi Of Iran, whose country bor-
ders on the Soviet Union, said
today world tension seems to
have abated somewhat"
The 35-year-old monarch. In
a speech prepared for a press.
radio and television luncheon,
quickly added that Iran has
every intention Of building up
the strength Of its armed forces.
There Is cause for gratifica-
ton that world tension seems to
have somewhat abated, he said.
q. 1t is a sad commentary
on world affairs that only those
nations whose security forces are
strong can defend themselves
.. We are resolved to do all
we can to improve the defend
Ing capacity OF our army"
The Shah, in this country on
what has been officially described
as a personal vacation, said his
country is full of opportunities
for private investment. He said:
To-day Iran is undoubtedly on
the threshold of a period that
could promise political stability
and economic recuperation. We
are trying to telescope centuries
into decades. The scene in
Iran offers a striking opportu-
nifty for Iran to stop looking fur
lively back but to work and plan
ahead, and for the leading West
ern powers to use their vast
resources, economically and
technically, and by private in
vestment to help Iran introduce
wide, effective and permanent
agrarian and industrial reforms,
and to raise the general standard
of living"
The Shah expressed gratitude
for the economic help given Iran
by the United States. but men
toned no plans to ask for more.

Before going to, the White

they have never had that type

replied.
In response to a question by
Mr.. Doub about Warnings

my experience in handling that
kind of books, I would definitely
say that Mr.. Warning was in

Mr.. Ford said he looked. and it
was.
The revenue agent said War
ring had told him of placing the
$40 bet with another Washing
ton gambler and hitting for
$4,000. The $ll0,OD0 and the
$4,000 were subtracted from the
$3.50 900, leaving what the Gov
eminent says is a part Of his
income for 1947.
Tells Of Trips to Bank.
Earlier. Mr.. Doub. in his open
ing statement, had told of War
rings trips to the bank with
bags of money. stressing that the
gamblers business was entirely
in cash.
About twice a week. he went
to the bank with bag. Mr..
Doub said. I'm the bag were
coins and currency. He con-
verted them into 500 bills.
I'm the summer of 1947 there
was a change in his method
and he began asking for $1,000
bills" the prosecutor added.
The jury also heard yester-
day from Ward Burdthe Of Ia
koma Park. Md, a deputy col
lector of internal revenue. who
helped Warning prepare his 1947
tax return. Mr.. Burdine said
he made out the return from
figures furnished by Warning.
He said he listed no occupa-
ton for Warning because he felt
it was evident from the fact
that the form showed that the
sole source of income was
gambling.
II knew it was from gambling
because I had made it out a
couple of other years for him.

headed.
His civil liberties struggles
found him on the side of those
he called "the minority, the un-
popular, the dissenter." Some
times they prompted a belief he
held the same opinions as those
he represented. but Mr.. Hays
maintained he defended many
persons with views strongly OPP
posed to his own.
Liked Liberty Cases"
It is the struggle itself that
counts. he insisted. Fighting for
a cause bigger than ones sell"
isn't necessarily noble, he felt,
"but it's just about the best fun
In life for people of my dispo-

II would be miserable if I

one occasion.
Yet Mr.. Hays commended he
rarely undertook a case unless
he was convinced his client was
right-a conviction that grew as
the case progressed.
In his zeal he sometimes got
into difficulties himself. In 1887
he was run out of Jersey City,
N. j., by police when he led a
picket line in a seamen's strike.
During a 1922 coal strike in
Vintondale, Pa, he was jailed.
Had Varied Practice.
AS humanitarian, he labored
without remuneration, often
pouring large sums of his own
money into the cause. The source
of this was the other side of his
double professional life - his
Wall Street practice.
Energetic, resourceful. fond OF
sports and people, MIR. Hays
probably knew as much variety
and excitement of law as any
man of his day. He practiced
In every branch of the field ex-
cept patent law.
He was born in Rochester,
N. Y. December IL, 1881. His
father, Isaac, was in the clothing
manufacturing business and his
family on both sides were promi-
nent in Rochester Jewish circles.
While he was still young the
family moved to New York City.
Mr.. Hays attended City College
of New York for three years.
then entered Columbia College
and Columbia Law School. He
and brother worked their way
through college by tutoring sons
of wealthy families during sum-
mer vacations.
Started at $40 q Month.
There always was a family
understanding, Mr.. Hays said,
that he would pursue a law
career. He started as a $40-a-
month employee in a New York
Office, but soon concluded he
wouldn't earn any less with a
practice Of his own. So with
two classmates he established his
first firm. Success came rapidly,
OF his civil liberties eases, MIR,
Hays regarded the Scopes and
Reichstag fire trials as out
standing. His most lucrative
private case was the long and
celebrated litigation in New York
City over the win of Ella Wendell
and her $40 million estate. Mr..
Hays said this paid his Office
half q million dollars in fees.
Mr.. Hays was married twice
His first wife was Blanche
Marks. from whom he was
divorced in Nice, France. in 1924
They had one daughter. Lora
