Seven more Texas counties were declared drouth disaster aress today as the state's longest dry spell in thirty-three years entered its 18th month.

New counties given the 'disaster' label by Secretary of Agriculture Brannan are Johnson, Navarro, Hood, Parker, Somerville, Palo Pinto and Handera. About one fourth of Texas' 254 counties now are included Ln the disaster area. The tightening Texas drouth also brought reports of mass movement of beef csttle from bone-dry rangelands, declining milk production, spirating feed prices and a new dust bowl threat. At Fort Worth, Louis P. Merrill, the southwest's soil conservation service chief, said small grain over most of Texas was "partially revived" by recent moisture but "will be dying again in two weeks unless the rains come." Merrill, who says the drouth has been running since July of 1950, said counties along Red River, a tier of counties or three along the Gulf Coast and the North Panhandle country have fared best with infrequent showers.

Ernest Duke, assistant secretary of the Texas Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, said in Fort Worth: "There are movements of Texas cattle out of the state but there also are shifts oC herds from one part of dry Texas to green fields in other Texas counties. The Beaumont area, for example, is in pretty good shape." Duke said Texas cattlemen are being forced into "heavy and costly supplemental feeding." "The eost of wintering these cattle is going to be big and everybody almost everywhere in the cattle country is praying for moisture. There is no section of Texas where range conditions might be called really good." Merrill and Duke reporter there are fortunate spots in Texas' wide drouth belt where enough moisture has fallen in eighteen months. In addition to green spots north and east of Dallas, there are moisture-favored farms and ranches in Hill, McLennan, Falls, Bell and other counties in Texas, Merrill said. confident of winning on Mossa- degh's reputation as national hero who defied foreign "enemies" and took over the British- owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company earlier this year.

Voting is for the 136 seats in the Majlis, the Jower house of parliament. Thay select a premier. Mos- sadegh is cot an election candidate, and. under the constitution, could not be premier or hold other office if he were a member of the Majlis. Communists are expected to try to make a strong showing in the voting under false parly labels but there seems little chance they will break through the land-owning oligarchy which has ruled the country for centuries.

Communists ran a short-lived government in Azerbaijan, one of the northern provinces, in 1946. and recently have shown revived strength in Tehran despite the fact the Red Tudeh Party has been outlawed. Since Iran took over the billion- doUar British Oil company, tlie flow of oil from the huge Abadan refinery has ceased and so has the Dow of royalties which largely sustained the government. About 500,000 Iranians out of a population of 16 million will be able to vote. Ain't No Justice MONTREAL, Dec.

He called it "wishy-washy 11 and meaningless. Breaking a week-long Vishinshy told the U. N. General Assembly's SO-nation political committee that Britain, France and the United States hid tried to persuade the world they had submitted truly revised plan but "searching scrutiny fails to bring out any serious changes." The Western Big Three followed up the deadlock in ten days of secret Big Four disarmament talks with revisions they thought would meet some Russian objections. None of the concessions concerned major issues.

The West stuck to its demand for creation of a tamper-proof system of inspection and control before agreeing to ban the atom bomb. Russia has demanded an immediate ban on atomic weapons. In secret sessions the Four Powers had agreed to recommend setting up of a 12-nation disarmament commission the 11 Security Council members and Canada to renew talks on ending the world arms race. That plan would have combined the present U. N.

commissions on atomic arms and conventional weapons. The Communist Bloc countered Monday with a proposal presented by Poland for the new commission scrap five years of work and start over a plan the west agreed reject. Vishinsky had been expected to express the Russian view Monday, but said he had been sick. See Us For Cook's Paints aad Builder's Hardware Foxworfh-Galbroith Lumber Co.
