Eversharp vice To SettleDispute Over Oil Field By KINGSBURY SMITH Tehran, June 1 (INS) President Truman appealed to Iranian Premier Mohammed Mossadegh today to negotiate with Britain in the dangerous oil nationalization dispute. Informants said his mes-age got a chilly reception. The premier was understood to have told U.

S. Ambassador Henry F. Grady, who delivered the message, that the United States was not keeping "A neutral position" in the situation. Grady in an hour's talk at the bedside of the Premier, who is suffering from a fever, replied that the United States is neutral but not indifferent to a situation which might provoke a grave threat to world peace. Iran last month decreed nationalization of the British-controlled Anglo-Iranian Oil Cdmpany despite a contract supposedly valid until 1993.

Iran has rejected a British bid to negotiate a settlement. President Truman was understood to have referred to the "explosive" situation, but contents of his message were not officially disclosed. Observers predicted increased anti-American demonstrations in Tehran once the news of the presidential appeal beebmes generally known. President Truman's message was understood to have made these points: that it is urgently necessary for Iran and Britain to get together as friends and settle the dispute, and that Iran can not just ignore its contract with the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. The issue involves a danger to world peace.

The premier told Grady he would deliver the President's message to a joint session of Parliament tomorrow. The Premier also was reported to have called a special cabinet meeting. Grady took the message to the Premier's bedside a half hour after receiving it from Washington, then later informed British Ambassador Sir Francis Shepherd. London officials also were informed by Ambassador Walter Gifford. (A presidential message to Prime Minister Attlee was delivered in London by Gifford.

It is believed to have expressed hope that Britain was doing everything possible to facilitate a settlement. Anglo-American informants said the presidential messages were prompted by an American belief that there has been a "sudden worsening" of the situation. They said Mossadegh was 'very uncooperative" at the Tuesday luncheon meeting with Grady and the British ambassador. (The London Admiralty said, meanwhile, nothing was known of a Malta report that a British tank landing ship Is enroute to the Persian Gulf oil area from its anchorage in the Red Sea.) In Tehran American diplomats were represented as feeling that the British are not making enough public gestures to convince the Iranians of their willingness to negotiate a mutually satisfactory settlement. Local Iranian extremists are becoming impatient at Mossadegh's reluctance to use drastic measures in applying the nationalization law.

CONVICTION UPHELD Washington, June 1 (MP)) The U. S. Court' of Appeals today upheld the Washington espionage conviction of Judith Coplan but left the way open for a possible new trial because of alleged government wire tapping. But he lost the first round when senators forced into the open a secret 1949 State Department document which said the island of Formosa had "no special military significance" and its loss to Red China was expected. The inquiry group overrode by a 15 to 9 vote Acheson's protests that the desclosure would provide Russia with propaganda material which would hurt the "voice of America" program abroad.

Those voting to release the memorandum were: Russell (D-Ga), George (D-Ga), Wiley (R-Wis). Smith (R-NJ), Hickenlooper (R-Iowa), Lodge (R-Mass), Brewster (R-Me), Byrd (D-Va), Johnson (D-Tex), Stennis (D-Miss), Bridges (R-NH), Salton-stall (R-Mass), Knowland (R-Calif), Cain (R-Wash), and Flanders (R-Vt). Voting against release: Green (D-RI), McMahon (D-Conn), Fulbright (D-Ark), Spark-man (D-Ala), Gillette (D-Iowa), Connally (D-Tex), Kefauver (D-Tenn), Hunt (D-Wyo), and Morse (R-Ore). Gen. Douglas MacArthur and top-ranking military leaders have testified the Chinese Nationalist stronghold of Formosa has great value in the strategic defense of the United States and it must not be permitted to fall to Red China.

Acheson insisted the document-in the form of a memorandum-was sent to consular officers in December, 1949. as a move to guard U.S. prestige in case Formosa fell to the Reds. He argued the U.S. policy toward Formosa has not changed from October, 1948, to June, 1950, despite the document.

He said the policy in that period was to try to keep Formosa out of Red hands by diplomatic means rather than by military action. "First of all," he told senators, "it was understood and agreed that Formosa has strategic importance so far as the United States was concerned." He declared the document was sent out as a guidance "to minimize the damaging effects to the United States of the possible fall of Formosa." Acheson did not run Into the barrage of questions expevted from Republicans who have aimed at the him most of the criticism of administration foreign policy. But this was because most of the day was consumed in debate about release of the Formosa document and direct questioning was limited. He will be questioned again tomorrow starting at 9 a. E.S.T.

Questioned by Chairman Russell (D-Ga) of the inquiry group, Acheson said the government has made on effort to get United Nations allies to impose a naval blockade against Red Chine. Admiral Forrest Sherman, Chief of Naval Operations, has proposed a naval blockade as the next step after economic sanctions to shut off the flow of war goods to the Red armies. Acheson said: "we have always felt that if we can get a very effective economic blockade, a naval blockade becomes much less important." He added the government has had "considerable success" In getting allies to go along with the economic blockade. The secretary rejected the Mac-Arthur war plan to carrythe Korean conflict against Red China because, he contended, it would not be conclusive and might draw Russia into the war. Oil WeHest Has Produced Dry Ice Madison County Hole Has Promise Dry ice has been produced bv Chinese Bringing Up Reserves To Guard Supply Base Area BY DON HUTH Tokyo.

Saturday. June 2 Uft Fresh Chinese Communist troops were moved up Friday into defense positions guarding their rugged supply base area in North Korea. The Allied advance above parallel 38 Inched ahead in deep mud. Red China was dipping again into its reserve manpower to rebuild armies shot to pieces in the futile April and May offensives Red casualties in the first were es timated at more than 75,000. The U.

S. Defense Department estimated more than 162,000 Red losses from mid-May to the 30th the period preceding and during the second Communist offensive Combined, the losses in the two drives were nearly one-half the estimated Chinese and Korean Red combat strength. Communist reinforcements pour ing into a ridgeline defense short of the 38th parallel indicated a determination to hold the Chorwon- Kumh-wa-Pyonggang assembly and supply triangle in Central Korea. It was from that massing area that hordes of Red infantrymen were moved southward in th two ill-fated spring offensives. Concentrated Allied artillery, aerial bom' bardment'and heroic stands by ground troops sent the Reds reeling back.

A mud-caked allied tank patrol rolled into the southeast corner of the Red buildup triangle without opposition Friday. This was at Yanggu, at the eastern end of Hwachon reservoir and eight miles north of 38. It was the second day the patrol entered the town. It had met stub born resistance Thursday. Aggressive United Nations pa' trols were meeting Increasing re sistance everywhere else along tne twisting front, except in the far East-Central sector.

Chinese artillery fire was becom ing heavier. Communist MIG-15 Jet fighter forays were becoming bolder. A flight of four U. S. F-86 sabre Jets destroyed two Russian -built MIGS in an air battle that began near the Yalu river boundary of Manchuria and swirled southward more than 100 miles to a point high above Pyongyang.

It was the first time In recent months that Red jets went as far south as the Korean Red capital. A tail gunner in an American B- 29 bomber bagged a third Red Jet Friday. It brought the total to six MIGS destroyed and four damaged in two days of air fighting. On the western front, American forces were stopped for the fourth straight day at Yonchon, six mues north of the Red border and 12 miles southwest of Chorwon. A heavily censored field dispatch reported "the enemy was not only stopping his long retreat but was moving new forces south." On the West-central front, tne hills and craggy ridgelines north of the Hantan river were reported swarming with Red groups of 50 to 500 men.

On the Central front, American patrols probing toward Kumhwa on the main road from Hwachon were stubbornly resisted. The U. S. Eighth Army communique re ported advances that general area ragged from 1,000 yards to nearly 2 1-2 miles. Kumhwa is 20 air mues norm of parallel 38 and about 19 miles northwest of Hwachon.

People of the Southland, and in Mississippi particularly, might well turn to the Omnipotent One In a lime of emergency evolved by the 41-day drought now current, which is threatening to destroy the crops, pasture lands and forests of our section.

Friday was not only the hottest June 1 on record, but it wa the hottest day this early In the season ever recorded for Jackson and vicinity. No rain was forecast for the Jackson area, however, a few clouds during the mid and late afternoon were basis for a little hope that relief might not be as far away as it has been. Rome sections of the state are getting rrllef.

A good rain fell in Laurel beginning at 3:55 p.m. Friday, thunder was heard In Hattiesburg. and some surrounding sections of the city received a few showers. The coastal section got a fair rain Friday also. On Thursday some sections of north and east Mississippi got some relief with an inch of rain reported at Columbus, an Inch at Batesville.

But as Friday passed, so did the 41st day without rain in the Jackson area. only Ood himself controls our destiny, and. at this time, when we find ourselves and our economy endangered by a circumstance over which we have no control, that we should turn to God Almighty. "Therefore, we are suggesting to the people of this state, both white and colored, and to the clergy.

"We need rain, as perhaps our atate has never needed it before. Our crops are drying up, our past-urelands are parching. Ruin and hardship mav face us, if we do not get rain, and soon. "It is our hope that we shall all turn to Him who controls, a 1 1, at this time.

May we pray for rain." the governor and commissioner of agriculture said. The drought that exists in Mls-alsslpnl at this time similarly exists throughout most of the Southland. This section is one of the finest producing areas of the nation. Mr. Corlev cited that our government has asked Mississippi this year for 2.000,000 bales of cotton as an aid to our defense effort.

He calls to attention that wide acreas of planted cotton have not reached a stand due to lack of moisture from the clouds. Corn, vegetables, pastures and either crops are threatened with complete destruction unless me rains come. "I have been approached by a would-be rainmaker, and tests may be made with dry ice to cause precipitation." Mr. Corley said. "The wonders of science are many, and 1 that any end would be Justified, so long as it is honorable, to produce rain.

"But. in the last analysis. I know where to turn, and I hope that the citizens in the rural areas and the urbanites alike, will deal in prayer that our present lack of rain may be set aside by the will of God," Mr. Corley concluded. Gen.

Hanna Relieved From Active Duly Atlanta. June 1 INS Brig. Gen. Waiter J. Hanna, who has been critical of sending Inadequately trained recruits to Korea, was relieved from active duty at his own request today.

Third army spokesman at Fort Mac Pherson said the Birmingham, officer will go on inactive duty Saturday. Hanna recently was relieved of duties as assistant division commander of the 31st (Dixie) Division at Fort Jackson. S. C. but Army spokesman said that action had nothing to do with Hanna's well-pub-lictzed criticism of Korean policies.

Col. N. J. Thompson, third army information officer, said "It's Just an intra-divlsion affair." Hanna requested relief from active duty in order to return to his post as Adjutant General of Alabama. He was holding that position when the 31st National Guard Division was called to active service last January.

Washington, June 1 CTV Secretary of State Achesan told senators today the United Nations army has won a powerful victory over Communism in Korea and upset Red "imperialist aims" throughout all Asie.

Senate Approves Draff-UMT Bill Compromise Measure Now Goes To House Washington, June 1 The Senate today stamped its final approval on a bill to extend the Draft until mid-1955 and set up the mechanics for a permanent Universal Military Training program. Passage of the compromise measure, affecting the lives of millions of young Americans, was by voice vote. The bill which had been worked out in a Senate-House conference committee, now goes to the house for scheduled action next week. Major provisions of the legislation call for: 1.

Reduction of the draft age from 19 to 18 1-2, but no draft board may induct men under 19 ua-til it has exhausted Its pool of eligible men between 19-26. 2. Increasing draft service from 21 to 24 months. 3. Authority for the President to call reservists for 24 months of active duty, until July 1, 1953.

The bill also sets a 5,000,000 ceil ing on the Armed Forces. Senate passage came after Sen ator McCarthy (R-Wis) announced that if the bill had come to a roll call vote, he would have voted against it because of what he term ed the policies of Secretary of State Acheson. The Wisconsin senator, a bitter critic of Acheson, said the State Department was blocking the use of 600,000 Chinese Nationalists troops in the Korean war, and he told the senate: "As a result, only American boys are allowed to die on the bat tlefield in the fight against com munism." Senator Smathers (D-Fla.) also took the floor to- attack defense de partment policy of calling up thous ands of World War veterans and asking them to fight again in Ko rea. safely on ice as the Tigers had a 14-0 lead going into the top oi tne sixtn.

Legal Group Opposes Present Liquor Laws On Record Favoring State-Owned Stores Biloxi.

June 1 UV- The Mississippi Bar Association went on record today as being opposed to the laws which now prohibit the sale of alcoholic liquors in this state and as being in favor of the odop-tion of laws which would legalize their sale. The afternoon session of the meeting of the Mississippi bar heard a report by E. Cage Brewer of Clarksdale, president of the Junior Bar, on the results of a poll taken last year, then put the question be' fore the meeting. A motion expressing the feelings of a majority, was Dassed. A second motion raised the ques tion as to whether the bar shouVl implement its views by sponsoring an educational campaign at no expense to the bar.

This, too, was carried. Even before the motion was pass ed by the lawyers present, it was apparent from the results or tne previously-taken poll, that the sen-iments of Mississippi's Attorneys were against prohibition. The question had been asked whether they favored the present laws and the vote was 59 for these laws and 649 opposed. On the question as to whether laws should be adopted legalizing liquor, the answers were 656 for the change and 69 against. As to whether liquor should be sold through state-owned stores or privately o-perated shops, the vote was 368 for state operation and 244 for tne pn vately run stores.

Earlier today Association Presi dent Gibson Witherspoon of Meri' dian, told the lawyers: "Freedom as we customarily know it will be restricted and will tend to disappear, the more intensive military preparations become. Our great task as lawyers in such a period is to make sure that essential liberties are not needlessly sacrificed. The immediate problem is to maintain the maximum of freedom under effective mobilization." James Palmer, "Washington, special assistant to the Attorney General and past national president of the Federal Bar Association, told the bar that "the dignity of the legal profession has suffered considerably in recent years." Palmer pointed to the nation wide publicity given to the conduct of many attorneys in cases that have received much public attention. Hon. Rcss R.

Barnett, candidate for governor, introduced Mr. Palm er, setting forth that Mr. Palmer's "life represents the fulfillment of the ideal of a well-rounded career." Mr. Palmer was represented in the introductory statements as a man who has "served hij nation in war and in peace in the armed forces and the department of Jus tice, as a leader and a guide." He cited that Mr. Palmer has served as editor of many legal publications and especially as the biographer of Senator Carter Glass.

Past State Bar President Bar nett described Mr. Palmer as a servant of the youth of the land and their worried parents as adviser and counsellor, and recalled that Palmer bad served as president of the American Bar Association, president of the Big Brothers of the District of Columbia and many other high posts. Mr. Barnett declared that "deep down in me. I get a special feeling of exaltation to think that James E.

Palmer was jorn In Mississippi, my own state." Memphis.

Local Carpenter Signs Confession Admits Criminal Assault On Negro The 48-year-old Jackson carpenter who was arrested Thursday for criminal assault on a 14-year-old negro girl signed a full confession of the attack here late Friday afternoon. Meanwhile, he is being held without bond. H. L. Morrow, unemployed carpenter of 925 Langley street, was picked from a line-up of seven prisoners held in the Hinds county Jail by his victim, a 9th grade Lanier High School student Thursday.

He told the officers that the girl did not resist his Intimacies with her but that she did become frightened when he first turned off the main road.

He signed a confession which related how he re-assured the youthful girl that he "was not going to throw her into the lake." The girl's mother told officers, who were summoned as soon as she returned home between 9:30 and 10 a. m. Thursday, that her daughter returned home crying and bleeding. She was treated by a Clinton physician, who also revealed to deputies from the office of the Hinds county sheriff, that the 14-year-old girl has been assaulted. Morrow, who has no previous record of arrests according to the officers, is married and has a 23-year-old daughter.

He was arrested at his residence on Langley street around 11 a. m. Thursday.

By WAYNE THOMPSON Jackson's Central High Tigers picked the hottest day of tne year to put the South Mississippi base ball championship on ice witn a 20-3 victory over the Ocean Springs Greyhounds Friday afternoon. That gave the Bengals two straight wins over the Coast nine and made them eligible to play the North Mississippi champion for the state title. Thus, Jackson won its fifth Southern diamond title in six years and is on its way to seeking its fourth state title in the same span. Sophomore righthander Jimmy Wells went the route for the Bengals Friday on the Millsaps' diamond, giving-up but three hits while fanning eight and issuing a half dozen walks.

It was Wells' second win against no defeats. Only in the sixth stanza was Wells in any trouble at all, although Ernest Cox did touch Jimmy for the first Greyhound hit in the fifth stanza. In the sixth, Donald Catchott led with a walk with one out and Robert Cox, Ocean Springs receiver, hit a long drive over Mike Stanley head in deepest left field good for four i bases and two runs. After Alvin Endt became his eighth strike-out victim for the se cond out Ernest Cox followed with his second hit and a pair of Bengal errors.
