The Russians, who were not identified, were taken into custody while plastering leaflets on walls in the north Iranian city calling for support of the demonstrations by the outlawed Tudeh (Communist) Party. The na-lion-wide demonstrations held Tuesday attacked Britain, the United States and the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. The billion-dollar Anglo-Iranian Oil Company yesterday was notified formally of the Iranian government's determination to nationalize the vast Iranian properties of the British-controlled company. IN COMPLIANCE with a government ultimatum that expired yesterday, a representative of the company called on Finance Minister Mohamed Ali Varasteh and was told that the government was going ahead at once to carry out parliament's nationalization derision. Norman Richard Seddon, the representative, was handed an aide memoire on Iran's decision to relay to London headquarters.

Seddon was instructed by company headquarters to attend yesterday's meeting but to do nothing but listen. A government spokesman, meanwhile, revealed that the company would be taken over progressively and that control would be transferred to a government board. At the same time, it was announced that a three-man commission would go to the rich southern oil fields operated by the company next week to begin putting the nationalization into force. Official sources said that another five-man group would be named to investigate the company's accounts.

III it Tokyo (Thursday) (AP) Red artillery and die-hard infantry slowed the Allied advance inside Communist Korea yesterday along most of the 125-mile rainswept warfront. It was the heaviest resistance in more than a week. Far behind the battlefront, American soldiers bowed their heads in Memorial Day services in a green hillside cemetery near Pusan. But on the fighting front, the phase of Chinese rearguard actions appeared ended. The enemy used artillery, mortars, captuied bazookas and automatic weapons to knock out Allied tanks siiih-ering in the mud north of Parallel 38.

Canadian troops reported the heaviest Red artillery fire since the failure of the Communists' second spring offensive in mid-May. HOWEVER, one Allied force rammed within 12 miles of Kumhwa, strategic road hub 20 miles north of the Red border on the central front.

BEEKEEPERS make a business of renting colonies to farmers growing these seeds. With plenty of bees at work the seed production can be Increased as much as four times. DESPITE the winter slaughter there will be plenty of bees to do this important work, the entomologist says.

FN CLE SAM'S armed forces need map makers and a lot of them. Indiana University is one of 20 requested by the Fnlted States Army map service to start a course next fall in the science of map making, called applied cartography. Prof. Otis Starkey, head of the I.U. geography department, said the map-making service for the Army and other Federal departments Is to be expanded from 2,000 to 5,000.

FOUR MEMBERS of the staff in this new course at I.U. were in the map service of the American and British armies during World War II. There will be more jobs for cartographic aides and geographers than the supply of trained workers, at least during the present international crisis. OBJECTIVE of the course Is Hot to train map draftsmen, but professional worker who can compile, edit and do research on maq. ance, an Eighth Army communique said.

A good-luck charm which never quite clicked for the late Ted Horn yesterday paid off big dividends to his best friend Lee Wallard.

Near collapse after the grueling 500-mile ordeal in mid-summer heat, Wallard fished a dime wrapped in a handkerchief from his grimy yellow coveralls. "Then, he explained that Horn always carried the dime as a good-luck piece and that it was in Ted's shoe when he was kifled in a dirt track accident at Du-fjuoin, 111., Oct. 10, 1918. The dime never did the trick for Horn at Indianapolis. He won three consecutive AAA national driving championships but never was able to cop the "500." WALLARD AND HORN had been close friends since 1031, both off and on the rare tracks.

When Horn was killed, Wallard inherited the lucky dime.

WHAT WAS A'allard's victory secret? "I just tried to keep moving along and stay out of trouble," was his modest explanation. After an hour-long session with reporters, newsreel and newspaper cameramen, radio broadcasters and just-plain-gawkers, Wallard was taken to the Speedway hospital for treatment for exhaustion and "sheet burns" Because of the extreme heat, Lee wore nothing und' his coveralls. And the friction of the coveralls rubbing against his skin turn when his right rear wheel collapsed. Rose crawled from beneath the car unhurt, but was taken to the track hospital as routine measure. His first request was a chance to get to a radio to assure his children that he had escaped injury.
