FIRE PREVENTION WEEK, designated each y ear* by Presidential proclamation, commemo
rates the Great Chicago Fire that started 80 years ago on Oct. 8, 1871 in an obscure barn.
It leveled three and a third square miles in the heart of that city within 30 hours and taught
the nation the importance of fire prevention measures. Engineers compare the ruins to those
left by modern atomic bombs. _

Russia Replaces
Britain As Iran's
Food Supplier
TEHRAN, Iran, i/P)—A govern
ment spokesman said Tuesday the
Soviet Union has promised to do
everything possible to speed up
sugar and other supplies desper
ately needed bv Iran to replace
• **
stocks normally supplied by Brit
ain.
Soviet ambassador Ivan Sadchi
kov called on Premier Mohammed
Mossadegh a few hours after Rus
sia unsuccessfully supported Iran
in attempting to block the U.N.
Security Council from taking up
the British-Iranian oil dispute.
The latest Soviet move was re
garded in western circles as a
further attempt to woo Iran fol
lowing Mossadegh’s order that
British technicians must leave the
country by Thursday, a move that
brought the bitter feud over na
tionalization to a boiling climax.
Deputy Premier Hossein Fatemi
said Sadchikov in his call prom
ised further Soviet assistance un
der the two nations’ $20,000,000
trade pact. Barter trade talks are
now going on in Tehran in an
effort to step up deliveries that
have been lagging under the pres
ent pact.
The announcement that the Brit
ish definitely will leave tomorrow
from Abadan eased tension some
what here. The 300 technicians
will be transported in Iranian
boats to the British cruiser Mauri
tius, anchored off Abadan on the
Iraqui side of the Sh-att-el Arab
River. The Iranian government
refused permission for the cruiser
to tie up in Iranian waters.
British citizens will be taken
by the Mauritius to Basra.

JANESVILLE, WIS — Darlene

Orion Palmer, veteran Parker Pen
employe, shows Darlene the dif
ference between a fountain pen
made in 1901 and today’s model.
When Mr. Palmer started in the
business at the turn of the century,
pens were awkward and brittle and
had to be filled with eye-droppers.
Today’s pens incorporate unseen
vacuum fillers, have useful peek
holes to the ink supply and are
engineered to perform in airplanes
as well, as classrooms.
C’mon, Mr. Palmer, give the

CHICAGO, (/P)—The Sun-Times
said Tuesday it “learned exclu
sively’’ that the Chicago White
Sox have closed a $300,000, eight
player deal with the St. Louis
Browns.
The Sun-Times said the players
coming to the Sox are Catcher
Sherman Gollar, Pitcher A1 Wid
mar and Infielder Tommy Upton.
Outfielder Ray Coleman, who
came to the White Sox midway in
the past season, supposedly on
waivers, also is included in the
deal, the Sun-Times said.
The paper said that in exchange,
the Sox will turn over Jim Rivera,
the Seattle outfielder whom the
Sun-Times said it had learned had
been purchased by the Sox for
$67,500; Infielder Joe Demaestri;
Catcher Gus Niarhos, and Pitcher
Dick Littlefield, who spent the
1951 season with Memphis.
The Sun-Times said that the
Sox, in addition to the cash given
Seattle for Rivera, have agreed
to send three $10,000 ball players
to the Pacific Coast League Club
in 1952 and three more for 1953
delivery.
There was no confirmation of
the reported deal immediately
from White Sox officials.
