Iran Premier Expresses
Confidence V. S. Support
Nationalization Program
TEHRAN, Iran, {JP) — Premier
Mohammed Mossadegh, in a per
sonal letter yesterday to Presi
dent Truman, expressed confid
ence the United States would
support Iran’s nationalization pro
gram.
The letter contained no hint of
a compromise, nor did it make
any reference to rumors that Mr.
Truman might 'be asked to assume
the role of mediator.
Mossadegh blamed the British
for threatening to shut down the
flow of Iranian oil to the west.
• The letter was made public
shortly after Iran sent a formal
protest to neighboring Iraq for
permitting the British cruiser
Mauritius to enter Iraqi waters
near the Iranian oil center of
Abadan.
Iran said the presence of the
cruiser and British troops in Iraq
was a breach of the Iran-Iraqi
friendship pact. British troops are
in Iraq under treaty arrange
ments.
The letter to Mr. Truman said
the Anglo-Iranian Company must
be responsible if the Abadan re
finery closes down.

Several Senators
Intend To Kill
Price Control Act
WASHINGTON, (/P) — The
House Banking Committee voted
21 to 3 yesterday for a 31-day
extension of the present Price
Control Act.
The idea is to give Congress
more time to consider a new, re
vised law. Without congressional
action to keep it alive, the present
law will expire Saturday mid
night.
Influential senators are fighting
any such “stop-gap” move and
there appears to be danger the
Saturday deadline may arrive
without a new law or any action
to retain the old one.
In that case, the whole govern
ment control program would col
lapse.
Senator Maybank (D-SC) de
clared that several senators “in
tend to talk and talk and talk”
•to kill any move in the Senate
for a stop-gap extension of the
old law.

biggest maritime unions threaten
