British Embassy Defends
Anglo-Iranian Oil Co.
TEHRAN, Iran, i/P)—The Brit
ish embassy in a statement here
Saturday vigorously defended the
Anglo - Iranian Oil Company,
whose vast holding Iran plans to
take over.
The statement to local news
papers denied the British-control
led company’s activities ever had
been harmful to Iran and asserted
it had brought large benefits to
Iranian economy.
Both the billion-dollar AIOC and
the British government have op
posed Iran’s takeover of the com
pany’s holdings.
Meanwhile, three more Iranian
officials set out for the great oil
producing center of Khuzistan
amid wild cheering of 5,000 Iran
ians massed at the airport. They
are charged with carrying out
Iran’s new oil nationalization law.
The group is slated to proceed
to the Persian Gulf port of Aba
dan where Anglo-Iranian Oil op
erates the world’s largest refinery.

lively ballad about an invalid
named Min who outwitted all her
doctors.
Frank Jones, formerly teacher
at the Nome school, accompanied
by his wife, who was public health
nurse here, write from Costa Rica
where they are now teaching.
School in that part of the country,

Disappearance Of British
Diplomats Puts New Strain
On U. S.-British Relations
LONDON, (>P) — The hunt for
two missing top-drawer British
diplomats widened suddenly from
France to Italy Saturday after the
Foreign Office disclosed a tele
gram to a relative of one of them
was sent from Rome.
A British Embassy officials in
Rome said that even though the
message did come from the Italian
city it was not conclusive evidence
the missing men had been there.
Both diplomats — Guy Burgess,
a former British Embassy official
in Washington; and Donald D.
McLean, head of the Foreign Of
fice American section—know high
level American secrets.
Fear has been expressed in Lon
don and Washington that they
may have ducked behind the Iron
Curtain. The incident put a new
strain on British-American rela
tions.
Thousands of detectives and in
telligence agents were engaged in
the hunt for Burgess and Mac
Lean. It bids fair to be the big
gest manhunt in European history.
Dullest Week In Livestock
Trading In Three Years
CHICAGO, (/P) — The nation’s
major livestock markets com
pleted their dullest week of cattle
trading in more than three years
Saturday and some areas faced
their worst retail beef shortage
since the war.
The number of cattle sent to
market in the 12 biggest livestock
centers last week totaled only
122,100. This is the lowest receipt
since the week ended April 2, 1948.
But the light receipts is only
part of the retail beef shortage.
The big packers have taken only
a small portion of the limited of
ferings.
“Lucky” Luciano Angered
By His Name In News
NAPLES, (/P> — An angry
Charles “Lucky” Luciano today
brushed off news photographers
bitterly saying:
“No publicity for my great New
York.”
Luciano made no effort to con
ceal his fury over the weekend
police announcement he faces up
to $300,000 in fines for illegal cur
rency deals.
The former New York crime
king also barked out a refusal
when photographers asked to snap
the swank American automobile
which Italian authorities claim
was illegally imported.

In Fairbanks Plane

only persons aboard the nine-pas
senger Wein Alaska Airlines tran
sport.
Miles, who was being brough
to Fairbanks for mental treatment,
remained calm and normal until
20 minutes before the end of the
flight. Then, said Hulshizer, he
walked suddenly to the pilot’s
compartment and shouted:
“Do you believe in God?” *
“Yes,” Hulshizer replied.
“Well, get out of that seat and
let God fly,” cried Miles as he
lunged at the controls and grabbed
the wheel.
Hulshizer wrested the controls
out of Miles’ hands and sent him
sprawling into the empty co-pilot’s
seat.
The crazed man then ran back
to the cabin, grabbed some can
ned goods, smashed three win
dows, and hit Hulshizer over the
head with some of the cans. After
that he began throwing packages
and freight overboard through the
shattered windows.
Mrs. Miles was unscathed dur
ing her husband’s frenzy, but was
unable to calm him.

van. siers Try
To Raise Red Flag
j At Commencement
FAIRBANKS, Alaska, (JP)—Dr. |
Terris Moore, president of -the Uni
versity of Alaska, Saturday con
firmed reports that two University
students lowered the American
flag and tried to raise the Red
flag during commencement exer
cises May 21 at which Governor
Warren of California spoke.
One of the students, identified
during a chase afterward, was
later expelled. His identity was
not disclosed|. The identity of the
other student still is not known.
Dr. Moore said the faculty had
been forewarned that certain stu
dents would try to “ball up” the
exercises. Members of the Univer
sity’s Reserve Officers Training
Corps were stationed on the cam
pus to watch for any demonstra
tions or “overt acts.”
An R.O.T.C. guard saw an at
tempt to raise the Red fl^g and
chased two offenders. Both es
caped but one was recognized in
the pursuit.
Dr. Moore said the two were
part of a small number of radical
or prank-playing students that
“can be found on any university
campus.
Manager A1 Bramsted said some
one deliberately cut the radio
transmission line prior to' the
Warren speech, preventing the
California governor’s talk from
being broadcast.
