III 111 ItloblllMS I lnoe omr mun nmro on Kinb, ociz.no 300 OFFICERS Announces Wide-Scale Roundup in Ranks of Army.

Police and Gendarmerie. TEHRAN, Sept. 11 (UP) The government announced today that it had smashed a "Communist spy network" operating in Iran's security forces and arrested 300 officers were working in the Interests of a foreign power." A communique confirmed reports which had been circulating for more than two weeks that government agents were carrying out large-scale arrests in the ranks of the army, police and gendarmerie. The military governor of Tehran said in the communique that the arrested officers would be placed on trial "shortly." He did not name the "foreign power" with whom they were linked. But reliable informants said the espionage organization began to infiltrate the national security forces 12 years ago, during the Soviet wartime occupation of northern Iran.

The communique said the spy ring was completely smashed by the series of arrests. Previous unofficial reports said documents identifying members of the spy conspiracy were found in coded form at the home of a former army offi cer who was a member of the outlawed Tudeh (Communist) party. -The codes were reported broken in progressive stages and the key code finally was broken last week. It disclosed a major list of agents. All of those arrested were re ported to hold numbered mem bership cards in the Tudeh party.

All but a few were ac tive or retired officers. Newspapers which first pub lished the early reports of a crackdown on the suspected spy right were suspended tempo rarily by the government. But informed sources said the roundup continued after the premature disclosures until the ring was completely crippled. ROOSEVELT STAYS IN GOVERNOR RACE, REJECTS 2ND SPOT The Nnr York Hwild Tribune-Pott -Diswtch NEW YORK, Sept. 11 United States Representative Franklin D.

Roosevelt Jr. has affirmed his Intention of staying in the race for the Democratic nomination for Governor. This threw a roadblock in the way of the former mutual se curity administrator, AverelJ Harriman, who had appeared to be getting the nod from Democratic leadership In the state. Another difficulty for Harriman was that the state CIO council in Albany rejected a motion to support the Harriman candidacy by more than 5 to 1. Roosevelt statement, issued by his press secretary, said "the rumor that Frank Roosevelt is pulling out of the Democratic race is unfounded, rne rumor that he will accept second place ticket lieute.nt governor) IS UiUVUUUCU.

N.J., Sept. 11 (AP) A 10-year-old girl, who told police she wanted a new doll to play with, took a baby from a carriage in front of a supermarket yesterday and touched off a widespread police search.

The baby, 4-month-old Janet Settle, was found unharmed several hours later in a paper shopping bag. Police, who withheld the identity of the 10-year-old girl, said she sot the idea to take the baby as she passed the market. She changed little Janet diaper and switched a yellow jacket from her doll to replace the baby's green dress. Mrs. Dorothy Settle had Jeit her daughter in front of the market while she shopped.

Other Na tions Back U.S. By ALVIV H. GOLDSTEIN A Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch. UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. Sept.

11 Kremlin reaction was awaited today to a proposal by the United States that the In temational Court of Justice be called upon to weigh charges that Russia has made unpro voked attacks on American air craft. American Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. made the pro posal as an alternative to United Nations Investigation of the charges. Andrei Y. Vishinsky, the Russian delegate, was em phatic in his stand that the "U.N.

Security Council, charged with the preservation of world peace, had no jurisdiction In the United States-Soviet dispute. His objection to U.N. consideration of the complaint was voted down 10 to 1 In the 11-nation Secur lty Council. The case at issue was the downing of an American patrol bomber off the Siberian coast by two Soviet jets but Lodge said the incident was only part of a "pattern of unprovoked at tacks." Council Adjourns. The Security Council, after hearing the issue debated, ad journed indefinitely.

Meanwhile, the United States complaint was supported warmly by Britain, France, Colombia, Turkey. New Zealand, Brazil, Denmark and Nationalist China. It was clear that the United States delegation was satisfied with the conclusion of the discussion at this point, realizing that any positive action by the Security Council would be vetoed by the Soviet Union. It had been decided that no effort would be made to deprive Russia of veto power on the technical ground that Moscow as a "party to the dispute" and therefore without vote. The American position was sharply defined by Francisco Urrutia of Colombia, September president of the Security Council.

He declared, "If Mr. Vishinsky wished to bring the truth to light he would accept an investigation." World opinion would consider the "party unwilling to accept investigation as the guilty one," the Colombian delegate, laid. 'Trigger-Happy' Russians. Sir Piersorr Dixon gave vigorous British support to the Unit ed States protest. He said Russian, conduct was "contrary to every precept of proper international behavior." He thought the "trigger-happy attitude" of Russia was "incompatible with professions of a desire to reduce International tensions." World opinion disapproves such "uncivilized behavior," he concluded.

Earlier, Lodge told the Council that American airplanes had been attacked six times by Russian flyers before the United States naval patrol craft was -shot down last Saturday with the loss of one crew member. After Lodge spoke, Vishinsky made a rebuttal, denying that Soviet planes had been aggressors in any of the instances mentioned by Lodge including that of Sept. 4. He wanted to know what United States planes were c'oing many thousands of miles from home. He thought it likely that the United States Navy rraft was catherinS weather data In order to penetrate the Soviet radar screen.

French Reported Studying LIm its for All W. Europe Powers. PARIS, Sept. 11 AP) French leadership is thinking now in terms of setting limits, both top and bottom, on the armies and armaments of all West European powers especially those of still unarmed West Germany.

These views were given by competent sources last night. Fear of German troops even under the proposed unified com mand was a factor in the French Assembly vote which finally killed the EDC treaty Aug. 30. Policy makers of Premier Mendes France's government made it plain they expect some new ideas on German rearma ment to emerge from Foreign Secretary Eden's tour of West European capitals. Eden is due in Paris Sept 15.

Some French officials hope that, by setting up limitations and a system of controls, they would be opening the way to a broader scheme of arms reduction which Russia and other Communist nations might eventually be persuaded to join. So far there has been no pub-Hc reaction to this French view-Jlnt from the United States. WORLD COURT IN DISPUTE OVER ATTACK ON PLANE Bomber Wings Will Move to Japan, Okinawa, Philippines. TOKYO.

Christian do Castries, hero of Dien Bicn Phu, said today ha had returned home to have a "long conversation" with Premier Mendes-France about the fall of the Indochina fortress. The general firmly denied that he had given anyone any interviews since his release by the Communists eight days ago. He said a purported interview by an Edst German newspaper attacking French and American policy in Indochina was "without foundation." De Castries arrived from Saigon yesterday. Defense department officials said they decided against giving him a "welcome home" parade because he was only returning on leave and the country is in national mourning for the victims of the Algeria earthquake. De Castries said he would go back to Indochina next week.

"I want to check myself with my officers on what has happened to all the men who fought so gallantly In Dien Bien he said. He said many of them have not been released by tha Communists.

Sept. 11 (AP) President Eisenhower Is having to work at relaxing these days, All during the last dozen years through all the high ten sion of World War II, the build ing of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and then the pres idency. Elsenhower's knack of being able to "get away from it all" for a few hours has amazed his friends. They have told time and again of how, while on the golf course for example, he seemed to be able to forget completely for 18 holes all the troubles of the day. Those who watched him in a Colorado trout stream just two weeks ago could almost see his worries over world problems slip away for the time being.

Such things as golf and fish ing and bridge and an hour with his easel and of! paints still relax the President, and he has been turning to all of those hohbies since he arrived in Colo rado for a work-and-play vacation Aug. 21. But his frierds say that this summer the Chief Executive is finding it a real job to take it easy and put his cares temporarily out of mind. They say he came out from Washington "tied in a knot," and that only now Is he beginning to let go a bit. Busier Than in White House.

The first two-weeks of his stay in Denver were perhaps busier in some respects than his days at the White House in Washington. For one thing he had to act on 513 bills passed by Congress during the closing days of the session. During that period he complained to one visitor that his golf game was off because he had been unable to concentrate on it. The visitor suggested that the reason was worry about the world situation, and Mr. Eisenhower laughed somewhat ruefully that he guessed that was right To help him relax, the Presi QUEMOY GENERAL SAYS 100,000 RED TROOPS ARE NEAR Continued From Page One.

made guns since Sept. 3 with 6000 fired in a five-hour bombardment which opened the attack. Two American lieutenant-colonels were killed in that bombardment. T' were here as advisers to the Nationalists. Troops' Spirits High.

The visitors were impressed by the apparent high spirits of Nationalist troops. Many appeared even somewhat cocky. "Our troops are determined on victory, but the enemy has suffered so much that he might not dare invade," said Gen. Liu. "This makes our soldiers unhappy because they would like to have a chance to engage and defeat the Communist bandits." Liu said enemy positions along the mainland coast could be either for offense or defense.

Before leaving for Taipeh we visited the "Pavilion of No Name," where the ghosts of dead Nationalist soldiers are supposed to ask themselves if they have acquitted themselves creditably. If they have, they enter the "Home of Honored Dead," where their names are inscribed on marble tablets. Before the fate of Quemoy is decided, there doubtless will be many more names inscribed in the "Home of Honored Dead." Knowland Calls for U. S. to Defend Quemoy Island.

FRESNO, Sept. 11 (AP) Senate Majority Leader Wil liam F. Knowland declared yesterday that the loss of the Chi nese Nationalist island of Quemoy, "would have the same effect on the morale of the free world as the fall of Dien Bien Phu did in the Indochina war." The California Republican ad vocated the use of the United States Seventh Fleet to defend the island. He said the loss of Quemoy would be only a step ping stone for Red aggression against Formosa. Knowland told reporters that he did not intend to press fur ther his suggestion to President Eisenhower that the United States break off diplomatic relations with Russia because of the shooting down of a United States patrol plant by Soviet jets last week.

He said the proposal was not demand but only a suggestion from a member of the United States Senate. Philippines to Check Smuggling. MANILA, Sept. 11 (AP) President Ramon Magsaysay ordered an investigation yesterday into a reported $500,000 luxury goods smuggling racket between Japan and the Philippines Involving Philippine army and navy officers.

New Orleans Inquiry In Home-Repair Deals Ends. NEW ORLEANS, Sept 11 (AP) Three days of hearings into alleged "windfall profits" on Government-insured loans ended here yesterday with testimony by home owners who were involved in the borne repair transactions which had proved unsatisfactory.

Trees and power lines were knocked down in some areas. But in general the coastal regions appeared to have come off lightly. Along the coast people felt the backlash of the storm as its fringes brought heavy rains and battering winds. By 9:30 a.m.. New York City was drenched by 4.48 inches of ram, the heaviest fall since 1909 when 5.05 inches fell in a 24-hour period.

There were flooded highways. fallen trees and transportation delays in all parts of the city. rower Lines Down. All along the coast and far In land New Englanders braced themselves for the fury of the storm. Some power lines were knocked out in downtown Provi dence, R.I., and at the Quonset Point (R.I.) naval station.

All businesses were closed in the southwestern Rhode Island community of Westerly in anticipation of the storm. The pattern of heavy- winds and rains extended as far south as New Jersey. All train service between New York and New Jersey shore points was halted at 9:30 a.m. when winds felled high-tension power lines near Long Branch. The lines fell across the main tracks of the New York and Long Branch railroad, owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Jersey Central Railroad.

Power was restored later. In thousands of coastal homes people watched and waited. The Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland and southern New Jersey felt heavy winds and rain but sighed with relief as the main part of the hurricane stayed at sea. New York harbor, normally the busiest in the nation, was quiet as a country graveyard. Ships rode at double anchor, crews alerted.

Only ferries and an occasional brave coal barge rode the high tides in the swirling rain. Evacuation Under Way. Coast Guardsmen, police and Red Cross officials were evacuating residents of low-lying areas on Long Island. Hundreds of others were evacuated from low-lying areas of Massachu setts, Connecticut and Rhode Island long before the storm was due. Everywhere people recalled the fury of the 1938 New England hurricane which piled up huge waves that swept over lowlands with a loss of hundreds of lives.

In Atlantic City, where Miss America of 1954 is to be picked tonight, 60-mile-an-hour winds buffeted the beaches this morning. Air flights to and from New York's La Guardla field were canceled.

Dulles maintained silence on the outbreak of fighting around Quemoy, between Nationalist and Red China. He conferred with Nationalist President Chiang Kai-shek Thursday on Formosa.

But he said the eight-nation Southeast Asia Collective Defense Treaty, signed Wednesday at Manila, should "do away with the apprehension between Asian and non-Asian members." Dulles's plane leaves here at 8 p.m. (l a.m. bunday, St. Louis time). He is the guest here of Adm.

Nevertheless, it was apparent that Murphy trip would embrace at least three activities 1. He will try to find out what European leaders, partlcu-its sovereignty and entered the Western alliance. The way he put It last night was to say that the German people would make "sensible" use of their future arms and would "voluntarily restrict their own freedom." Apart from these statements, Adenauer said he thought It was best for West Germany to re main "silent" and wait to see how the United States and Britain would evolve their plans for Germany. He said the West German government has received no proposals from the French and that all it knows of France's intentions is what has been appearing in the newspapers. The 1,500,000 voters in Schle-swig-HoIstein elect a new state parliament tomorrow.

Adenauer's Christian Democratic party is clearly on the defensive in the current campaign. It re-clved 47.1 per cent of the votes in the state in last year's national elections. The Social Democrats were next with 26.5 per cent. The Social Democratic party is demanding a new East-West conference with Russia on German reunification. The smaller right-wing parties that belong to Adenauer coalition in Bonn have been attacking him openly here and are claiming they can conduct foreign policy better.

Dr. Adenauer's party chiefs in Schleswig-Holstein are afraid that many voters who supported the Christian Democratic party last fall may stay away from the polls this time as a result of disappointment and confusion. RS, F. ALEX WITTE. ESTATE iitifrilTnmrn miii i.
