Iran and 8 Western Oil Firms
Agree on Reopening Refineries
After Three-Year Shutdown
Companies Hope
* To Start Flow
In Two Months
By the Associated Pr»s»
TEHERAN, Iran, Aug. 5.
Representatives of eight big
Western oil companies and the
Iranian government announced
broad agreement today to re
start Iran’s frozen oil industry.
They said they hoped to begin
shipping at least some of the
oil again in about two months.
Under the agreement an
nounced simultaneously in
Teheran and London, the eight
companies as a consortium will
operate the vast Abadan refinery
and the surrounding oil fields.
They will buy the oil output from
Iran and will sell the production
abroad. Iran will retain title to
the fields and the refining facili
ties.
Settlement of the three-year
diplomatic battle was announced
in a joint statement by Iranian
Finance Minister Ali Amini and
Howard Page of Standard Oil
of New Jersey, chairman of the
negotiators for the oil compa
nies.
Their statement did not detail
the rate of payment to Iran but
Informed sources said it was vir
tually the same 50-50 split that
prevails elsewhere in the Middle
East.
Runs for 25 Tears.
Mr. Amini and Mr. Page esti
mated that Iran, through direct
oil revenue and taxes, would get
420 million during the first three
years of the arrangement. The
estimate for the third year, more
than $lB7 million, is larger than
Iran’s pre-nationalization oil
revenue.
The agreement will run for 25
years, with provision for three
5-year extensions.
The eight companies making
up the consortium are Britain’s
Anglo-Iranian, which developed
and operated Iran’s industry
alone until ex-Premier Mo
hammed Mossadegh nationalized
its holdings in 1951; Standard
of New Jersey, Standard of
California, the Texas Co., Gulf
Oil Co., and Socony Vacuum, all
American; Royal Dutch Shell
and Compagnie Franciase de
Petroles. \
Firms to Divide Business.
Though Mr. Page in a sepa
rate statement said the com
panies “must now conclude a
separate agreement among them
selves covering their participa
tion,” informed sources said
they would set up this division:
40 per cent to Anglo-Iranian,
40 per cent to the five Ameri
can companies, 14 per cent to
Dutch Shell and 6 per cent to
the French firm.
(Authoritative sources in
Washington said participation
of the United States oil com
panies had been essential to
get Iranian agreement after
the bitter dispute with Brit
ain over the nationalization.)
In London,. Prime Minister
Churchill’s government wel
comed the accord and said it
would make “a major contribu
tion to the stability of the whole
Middle East." The British gov
ernment owns 51 per cent of the
stock in Anglo-Iranian.
Western sources in London
said the settlement is expected
to help clear the way for a new
Western-backed defense setup in
the Middle East.
Anglo-Iranian will get little
direct compensation from Iran.
A joint British-Iranian state
ment issued in London said
Teheran agreed to pay the com
pany 25 million pounds (S7O
million). The statement said
the payments would begin Jan
uary 1, 1957, and stretch over
10 years, without interest. West

Temporary Debt Limit Rise
Os $6 Billion Wins Approval
Increase Is Backed in 9-to-6 Vote
By Senate Finance Committee
BULLETIN
The Senate Finance Com
mittee today approved a tem
porary increase of $6 billion
in the $275 billion debt ceiling
by a vote of 9 to 6.
By J. A. O'Leary |
The year-old deadlock in Con
gress over the administration bill
to raise the debt limit from $275
billion to $290 billion may be
broken with a modest compro
mise in the Senate Finance Com
mittee today.
On the eve of Treasury Sec
retary Humphrey’s meeting with
the Finance Committee, Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia, was
considering going along with a
temporary increase of $5 billion
for the remainder of this fiscal
year only. As the meeting got
under way, however, there were
reliable reports that the Vir
ginian had not finally made up
his mind to support any com
promise at this time.

'Clambakes and Parties'
To Insure Labor Supply
By Miriam Ottenberg
The president and former sales
representative of the Metro Dec
orating Co. today told the House
Anti-Racketeering' subcommittee
that the firm paid $3,000 to
Washington union officials to in
•sure a labor supply for a $300.-
000 painting job at Andrews Air
Force Base.
Boris Baron, president of the
New York painting firm, said he
made the payments in six month
ly installments in 1951 and 1952
because he was told it would re
quire “clambakes and parties” to
induce the painters he needed to
go to the base.
He said the payments were
made to Robert C. Lowry, secre
tary-treasurer of District Coun
cil No. 51, Brotherhood of Paint
ers, Decorators and Paperhang
ers of America, AFL, and to
Archie B. Moore, then business
agent. He added that John E.
Sullivan, another union business
agent, was also there when some
of the payments were made.
The subcommitte, winding up
its hearings on allegations of ex
tortion by painters union officials,
heard Mr. Sullivan flatly deny
he had ever seen money passed
or had split the take. Mr. Lowry
already has denied getting any
money. Mr. Moore, who has ac
cused the others, had described
the monthly payments in earlier
testimony.
Organizer Weeps on Stand.
In other highlights of the
morning session:
1. Allen Dennerly, interna
tional organizer of the union,
broke down and wept on the
witness stand as he denied any
wrongdoing. He was assured re
peatedly by Special Counsel
Frank Battle that there had been
no direct testimony against him

mentioned him in some of the
transactions.
2. Representative Dawson,

he had no patience with “these

make tremendous profits.” ‘

Two New Hospitals
Urged for Dislrict
By Advisory Group
Commissioners Indorse
Southeast Institution,
Chronic Disease Care
Construction of two new hos
pitals In Washington was rec
ommended today by the Hill-
Burton Hospital Advisory Coun
cil. The District Commissioners
indorsed both suggestions.
One of the proposed hospitals
would be for chronic diseases.
The other would be in Southeast
Washington, soon to be without
a major hospital treating gen
eral cases.
The council told the Com
missioners Washington needs
1,624 beds for chronic patients,
and now has only 180 beds avail
able.
For Chronic Diseases.
"A chronic disease hospital has
a very high priority, and explora
tions should be continued of the
matter, with the view to its es
tablishment at the earliest pos
sible date,” the council warned.
Its recommendation noted that
private capital, rather than Dis
trict funds, should be used to
match a Federal grant authorized
by the Hill-Burton Hospital
Construction Act.
The council charged that for
years the city has lacked facili
ties for chronic sufferers and no
effective steps have been taken
to solve the problem.
Southeast Growth Cited.
Urging a Southeast hospital,
the council cited the area’s great
population growth in recent
years.
Providence Hospital is leaving
the area for a new site near
Catholic University, in the North
east section.
And Sibley Hospital will move
farther from the Southeast when
its new location is ready at
American University.
Funds for a hospital in the
Southeast should be halved be
tween Hill-Burton money and
non-public money, the council
added.
The District and States are
each required to name a com
mittee to advise on use of Hill-
Burton funds. The Commis
sioners named the 10 members
here, including non-Govem
ment representatives as well as
spokesmen for agencies directly
affected by hospital matters.

Anti-U. S. Riot
Breaks Out in
German Port
1,000 Workers Fight
Police in Protest on
Army Housing Site
By lha Associated Prtu
BREMERHAVEN, Germany,
Aug. 5.—A thousand angry dock
workers clashed with German
police riot squads here today in
a fight against the United States
Army’s project to build military
apartments on the site of 25
German homes.
Fists and clubs flew as police
reserves were rushed to this port
from nearby Bremen to quell the
anti - American demonstration.
Waterfront Communist leaders
were rumored to have helped
incite the violence.
Police arrested six rioters, but
released four after questioning.
Some of the injured demon
strators required first-aid.
Eviction Notices Given.
v Trouble started brewing when
owners of the 25 houses received
eviction notices recently. The
United States Army had requi
sitioned their property under oc
cupation law to construct a 30-
million-mark ($7,140,000) hous
ing project for American per
sonnel in the Bremen enclave. In
turn, the Army offered to release
741 requisitioned homes in Bre
men to German authorities.
When police attempted to en
ter one of the requisitioned
Bremerhaven dwellings late yes
terday, 40 occupants of the area
stood them off with clubs and
pitchforks. A detachment of 25
policemen was forced to with
draw.
More than 100 police com
mandos were sent back with
orders to protect an assessment
commission making estimates of
the compensation to be paid by
the State government to the
property owners.
Guards Set Up.
Women and children were
among the 80 residents who
attempted to block the police
and commissioners today. Then
1,000 dock laborers stopped work,
marched to the area and soon
engaged in hand-to-hand fight
ing.
With reinforcements from
Bremen, police finally cordoned
off the requisitioned buildings
and set up guards.
American officials privately ex
pressed regret over the dispute.
They said there was good reason
to believe that all the families
due for eviction would receive
satisfactory, quarters elsewhere
from German housing author
ities.
The Communist Party has fired
a continual barrage of propa
ganda against American military
personnel and activities here.

Humphrey Charges
Benson Is Distorting
Rigid Support Picture
90% Parity Backer
Says Rivals Are Trying
To Frighten People
By Allen Drury
Senator Humphrey, Democrat,
of Minnesota charged today that
the Agriculture Department has
waged a campaign of “down
right vilification and outright
misrepresentation” against the
present agricultural program
based on rigid price supports.
Opening the second day of
Senate debate on the contro
versial farm bill, Senator
Humphrey said Agriculture Sec
retary Benson and his aides have
“deliberately and willfully tried
to frighten the American people
away from a sensible farm pro
gram by their distortion of the
facts.”
The Minnesota Democrat, a
supporter of the present price
support level pegged at 90 per
cent of parity, said the admin
istration’s proposal for flexible
price supports ranging from 75
to 80 per cent of parity is
“agricultural economics standing
on its head.”
Hits “Speculator Philosophy.”
“The philosophy which per
meates this flexible supports pol
icy is the speculators’ philos
ophy,” Senator Humphrey de
clared.
“The Secretary of Agriculture
ought to be ashamed of himself,
and his department ought to be
ashamed of itself for going up
and down the country saying
the present farm program is
causing economic dislocation
and undermining the moral fiber
of the people. Let them worry
about their own moral fiber!”
Senator Monroney, Democrat,
of Oklahoma, another critic of
the administration bill, sug
gested that some agricultural
surpluses now in storage under
the Government support pur
chase program might have been
“built up as a political method
to destroy the farm *program.”
“Os course, they have!” Sena
tor Humphrey agreed.
Assails Benson Order.
The Minnesota Democrat, rep
resenting one of the Nation’s
largest dairy States, vigorously
denounced Mr. Benson’s order of
last April reducing dairy price
supports from 90 ot 75 per cent
of parity. He insisted that more
than S3OO million worth of dairy
surpluses now in Government
warehouses should be regarded
as “inventory” instead of as sur
plus. He said he was “getting
tired of this dirty little word
‘surplus.’ ”
“Does the Senator mean,” de
manded Senator Holland, Demo
crat, of Florida “that he regards
18 months’ supply of butter,

LONDON, Aug. 5. —Russia has
renewed Its complaint that

The Moscow radio said last
night that Foreign Minister V.
M. Molotov had fired off a note
to the United States charging

Drought-Seared Plains States
Pray for Rain and U. S. Aid
Many Crops Already Beyond Recovery;
Federal Help Called 'Not Enough'
By the Associated Press
Farmers and ranchers are
glum and dispirited in the vast
drought country where corn and
cotton droop and cattle graze
on brown pastures.
“Unless we assist in every pos
sible way,” says Agriculture
Commissioner John White of
Texas, “thousands of our rural
people will have to abandon the
land.”
Mr. White speaks for only one
State. But drought still rules all
the Great Plains, in spite of re
cent rains and Federal aid al
ready granted to six States.
Good rains in sun-burned sec
tions of the South and East have
been more helpful—but not
enough to save many crops.
Men who live on the seared
land say only a lot more rain,
and then still more, can finally
beat the drought and save them.
Meanwhile, they need Federal
help to hang on—and, they
grumble, they aren’t getting
enough.
6 States on Aid List.
The number of States eligible
for Federal aid reached six this
week when Oklahoma and Mis-
Rain Helping
Ease Drought
In D. C. Area
Those welcome rains are here
to stay for awhile, at least
through tomorrow.
The forecast is for rain
through much of today and more
of the same tomorrow. Tomor
row’s rain will be in the form of
scattered thunderstorms.
Although the officially re
corded rainfall is only a quarter
of an inch for the first five days
of August, many nearby areas
have had heavier downfalls.
These have helped relieve the
drought, but more is needed be
fore things get back to normal
on the farmlands.
Particularly needed are con
tinuous rains to fill ponds and
streams for thirsty cattle.
Virginia’s Gov. Stanley said
yesterday that the drought sit
uation in that State has “im
proved tremendously” in the past
several days. He said that dur
ing recent travels in Southwest
Virginia, farmers told him crops
were considerably better off than
they had been at this time last
year, also a dry year.
Temperatures in the Wash
ington area are expected to be
near the normal marks today
and tomorrow, with a high in
the middle 80s and a low
around 70.

Since then, spotted rains have
Raised dabs of green in some of
the driest States—Texas. Colora
do, New Mexico, Kansas and
Oklahoma.
But scattered rains like these
have fallen before in the last
four years, and always the mois
ture has faded in a few days oi
weeks.
Even in the South, where the
drought isn’t as old and tough
as in the Plains States, the rains
of the last week weren’t enough.
For example. Kentucky received
an average of 1.24 inches, the
most in any week since April.
The rain helped tobacco, but
most other crops were too far
gone to be saved.
Timely rains also were re
ported in Pennsylvania, Indiana,
Illinois and Minnesota. But iri
these States, too, the word was
the same; more rain needed,
and even that wouldn’t revive
some fields.
The Government’s emergency
program Is aimed at helping
livestock men hang onto their
foundation herds. The Govern
ment has agreed to pay half the
cost of shipping hay into the
Federal disaster areas. The Ag
riculture Department also will
pay a subsidy of 60 cents per
hundred pounds for corn, oats,
barley and grain sorghums. The
subsidy will go to the dealers,
and ranchers can then buy these
grains at cut-rate prices.
Feed Prices Higher.
But this program will leave
feed prices somewhat higher
than they were last summer un
der a more liberal Federal
emergency program. For ex
ample, you could buy a bushel
of corn last year for sl. Now it
will cost something under $1.50.
That is one reason for grum
bling in the drought areas.
Another is that farm spokes
men in some States believe more
territory should have been in
cluded in the disaster program.
In Missouri. President Eisen
hower declared 76 counties eli
gible for relief. Fred Heinkel.
president of the Missouri Farm
ers Association, said he thought
all of the State’s 114 counties
should have been included. He
was dissatisfied, too. with the
feed program.
New Mexico ranchers have
complained that the feed pro
gram is slow in get*‘ng started
and that there’s too much delay
in deciding who is eligible for it.
All Oklahoma Dry.
All of Oklahoma, except for a
few scattered spots, is dry. Ex
perts said there is little differ
ence between the 26 counties
approved for Federal aifi and
the other 51. The recent rains
gave cotton and peanuts a
chance to make a fair crop, but
were too . late to do much good,
if any, for, pastures and feed
crops.
Texas now has 23 counties
eligible for disaster relief.
Thirty-seven more have asked
for it. That would make a total
of 60. But Mr. White said that
actually 75 counties—stretching
from the Oklahoma border into
Southeast and South Central
Texas and into far West Texas
around Midland—are In critical
shape. He figured this section
of Texas has lost $125 million
worth of cotton, more than sl4
million worth of grain sorghums
and so much pasture it can’t
even be calculated.
Senate Picks Six

Mr. Nixon made the appoint

of Senate Republican Leader

cratic Leader Johnson.
Act on Censure Move.
The committee is faced with
the task of investigating Sen
ator McCarthy’s activities in con
nection with a resolution of
censure introduced last Friday
by Senator Flanders, Republican,
of Vermont.
The resolution declared that
Senator McCarthy’s conduct "is
unbecoming a member of the
United States Senate, is con
trary to senatorial traditions and
tends to bring the Senate into
disrepute, and such conduct is
hereby condemned.”
The committee, which is ex
pected to begin its study very
quickly, also will be faced with
sifting through more than 40
specific allegations against the
Wisconsin Republican. The spe
cifications were proposed as
amendments to the Flanders re
solution by Senators Flanders,
Fulbright, Democrat, of Arkan
sas, and Morse, Independent, of
j Oregon. /
Selections Praised.
Senator McCarthy was not on
the Senate floor when the ap
pointments were announced by
Mr. Nixon after a quorum call.
The appointments immediately
drew praise from several Sena
tors, including Senator Flanders
and Senator Fulbright, who had
voted against the move to send
the censure proposals to a spe
cial committee. They had con*
tended that there was enough
information for the Senate to
act without referring the matter
to a committee.
Senator Flanders said he want
ed to express his “great satisfac
tion with the choice of person
nel of this committee,” and
added:
“It is an excellent committee.”
Senator Fulbright inquired if
the committee would make rec
ommendations or submit a brief.
He said he thought recommenda
tion as to what the Senate should
do about an individual member
should not be left to a commit
tee, but should be “retained in
this body as a whole body.”
Senator Knowland replied that
the committee would not have
the final say because the Sen

Korean Demonstrations
By Hi! Associated frets
SEOUL. Friday, Aug. 6—A
highly reliable source said today
the United States had handed
South Korea a strong note of
protest over recent demonstra
tions against the Neutral Na
tions’ Supervisory Commission.
The note was said to have been
delivered to the Foreign Ministry
yesterday afternoon by a repre
sentative of the United States
Embassy. Details of the note
were not learned.
The demonstrations were
aimed at Communist Polish and
Czech staff members of the com
mission. But Sweden and
Switzerland, the other two mem
bers. joined their Communist
colleagues in a protest to the
U. N. Command Wednesday.
The Military Armistice Com
mission, the highest truce super
visory body, called a meeting at
Panmunjom this afternoon to
discuss what the Communists
call a “violation of the armistice
in the threatening of the neutral
nations’ inspection teams.”
