Then the Millers went on a winning streak on their road trip. Howerton's addition was a big factor because of his timely hitting. So was Daryl Spencer's. The pitching was better than anticipated.

First reports said at least seven persons were bayonetted in fights. Mobs shouting "Death to the traitor Qavam" roamed the streets.

Officials of the newspaper Etelaat, which opposed Mossadegh, reported an estimated 300 demonstrators stormed the building and attempted to set it on fire. Newspaper workers battled with the mob and tossed rocks, bricks and hammers from an adjoining unfinished building. The fight continued for an hour before police and soldiers drove off the demonstrators. Six tanks took up stations in the square opposite the parliament building and armored cars patrolled other parts of the capital. There were unconfirmed reports that the police had fired over the heads of the crowds and used tear gas.

Eyewitnesses reported the bazaar section of the city, a stronghold of Mossadegh support, was blocked off by soldiers. Qavam, a veteran rightist politician, took over from Mossadegh Thursday and said he would seek a friendly settlement of the British-Iranian oil dispute. He warned he would take strong action to maintain order and backed this up with arrest of several nationalist demonstrators. Mossadegh guided the dustry last year-a move which tionalization of the country's billion-dollar British-run oil inwon him support from many Nationalists. But the oil flow which totaled 30 million tons a year under British direction dwindled to a trickle and the loss of has and wages nearly for bankrupted Iranian royalties Workers tion.
