(AP Chicago Gets -Continued From Page One to make foreign policy an issue next year's campaign. "If they insist on making the foreign policy of this nation an issue in domestic politics, we will, meet them on that ground and the Republican Party will suffer defeat from which it may never he declared.

But Mrs. Emma Guffey Miller, Pennsylvania national committeewoman, predicted in pressing Philadelphia's losing bid for the vention that the Democrats "will carry Pennsylvans for President Truman in 1952." She forecast the nomination of former Senator Francis Myers and victory for him over Republican Senator Martin. Mrs. Miller said Democrats not to hold their convention "in the shadow of the (Chicago) Tribune Tower and in the rancid publicity of Bertie McCormick." Jacob M. Arvey, plugging Chicago's bid, told the delegates not "worry" about the Tribune or publisher, Col.

Robert R. McCormick, who has been highly critical of the Truman Administration. "Wherever you go you'll have Colonel McCormck and The Tribune with you," Arvey declared. "You can't get away from Bertie." Mrs. E.

Neil Alford, Florida national committeewoman, presented a bid by Miami, for the venton, but it was not pressed. In awarding the convention Chicago, the committee stipulated that the city must post one-half $250,000 guarantee by next December and the remainder by next March. Mayor David Lawrence of Pittsburgh figured that Philadelphia's bid, with extras, totaled $310,000. Arvey said Chicago would throw the same extras--including 150 cars and drivers for committee members, rooms for the committee and Convention Hall cleaning. In Chicago, however, the committee will have to pay $5,000 for Convention Hall, which it would have received free in Philadelphia.

Democrats and Republicans are expected to split some of the expenses of their conventions, including such items as Convention Hall decorations. The national convention will have 1,230 delegates. States will be permitted to add delegates as they add congressmen on the basis of reapportionment, but no state will lose any delegates, even though they might lose congressmen. Each state which cast its electoral vote for President Truman in 1949 will have "bonus" of four additional delegates. In resolutions, the Democrats praised President Truman and his Adminstration for the "patriotism, skill and vigor" with which they have conducted the nation's fairs.

A resolution presented by Sen. Green R. affirmed support of the President in action he has taken to "curb aggression, protect our security and seek a genuine peace based upon justice and freedom." It called upon "all patrotic Americans to abstain from partisan politics in fields which affect our relations with other countries and our program to strengthen our defenses." Col. L.

Mossadegh -Continued From Page One the parliament building, where he locked himself in 10 days ago to guard against threats of assassination. In the afternoon the frail premier was reported ill with a high temperature from the effects of his talks to the newsmen. But he received British Ambassador Sir Francis M. Shepherd for what was described as an "informal exchange of views." Hossein Markki, right hand man of the premier and secretary-general of Mossadegh's National Front Party, said no notes or memoranda were exchanged during Shepherd's visit. Iran, however, is expected soon to reject the latest British note protesting the seizure of AngloIranian oil holdings and proposing to send a top-level diplomatic mission to negotiate a settlement.

The billion-dollar oil concern, 53 per cent of which is owned by the British government; has been given until May 30 to send representatives to help the Iranian government take over control of its Persian Gulf oil fields and huge refineries at Abadan. Mossadegh said in his a news conference that, under the nationalization law which became effective May 2, all oil revenues are to go to Iran, with an 11-man parliamentary board taking over control of the oil fields and refineries. Although he gave no hint of how his government plans to take over, he said it would be done "with utmost care" and nothing would be done to suspend operation of the industry. He denounced as false reports that Iran plans "unjust cupation of oil installations." He said the Anglo-Iranian Oil company may present claims for compensation for the property seized by the government. The premier, who recently told parliament he had dreamed he Was to be a martyr in the cause of oil nationalization, said this move was the final effort of the Iranian people to save their country from foreign political and economic exploitation.

If Iran doesn't achieve this goal, he said, "the western powers must wash their hands of the Middle East and even of the whole East completely." British Make Show Of Force LONDON, May 25. (UP) -Britain announced today that the 16th Parachute Brigade will leave within 10 day's for the Middle East, a move interpreted as a show of force in Britain's dispute with Iran over its oil concessions. But the British Government also was working out a simultaneous conciliatory approach to Iran. Top cabinet members were an announcement making that preparing, Britain will recognize the principle of Iran's oil nationalization as a basis for settling the future of the British owned Anglo Iranian Oil Company. The 4,000 paratroopers of the 16th Brigade probably will be stationed at Cyprus, 1,000 air miles from Iran's capital, will have aircraft and will be "fully equipped in other respects."

"The general rejected that advice?" McMahon asked.

"Yes, sir, he did," the chief of staff answered. Collins testified also that the Joint Chiefs told MacArthur in directive September 27 that "as matter of policy no ground forces will be used in the northeast provinces bordering the Soviet Union or in the area along the Manchurian border." The Army head said MacArthur did use U. S. troops in the Man. churian border region "contrary to this matter of policy without advising us first." Then on October 24, Collins said, to the border was "not in the Joint Chiefs messages MacArthan South Koreans UH in the advance thur that his decision to use other nance with their previous instructions." Collins said he regarded the general's action as an indication "of our growing concern as to whether or not General MacArthur who by now quite apparently was not in cord with the basic policies, don't you see would follow them." "Oh, now, general let's be fair," interjected Senator Knowland Calif.) at one point.

Knowland contended that MacArthur received number of directives in that period and that none specifically forbade him to use U. 8. troops in the bor. der area. "I did not state it was disobedience or an insubordination," Collins replied.

In New York, MacArthur's aide, Maj. Gen. Courtney Whitney, issued statement saying: "The utilization of American forces in the advance was not only not in contradiction to any order but was in compliance with the direct mission and objective of the basic orders under which General MacArthur was operating to clear and secure all territory south of the Yalu." Whitney said the Joint Chiefs of Staff were kept fully informed "and no orders whatsoever were received from them directing modification. Originally it was agreed by one that South Koreans should occupy the Yalu River area, Whitney said, but the ferocity of the fighting required "the maxmum employment of all of our forces." On another point, Collins told the senators that MacArthur's suc. cessor, Gen.

Matthew B. Ridgway. has informed him that he felt he should support MacArthur's proposal to lift bans against the use of Chinese Nationalists on the China mainland. He evidently referred to the forces of Chiang Kal-shek, now garrisoned on Formosa, although he did not specifically say 80. "I have had one communication from General Ridgway, the date of which I do not recall now," said, "in which he told that from his point of view, of being a commander in the field, and he made that clear, that he felt that he should support that proposal of General MacArthur's, which volved the release of any restrictions on Chinese Nationalist forces operating on the mainland of "And he limited it to that one (proposal)?" asked Senator Johnson Texas).

Collins: "That one particular point." Johnson asked Collins whether he knew of any other report "that Gen Ridgway has made to the effect that he agrees with the program recommended by General MacArthur." "I do not know of any, no, sir," Collins said. "That doesn't mean there aren't any," said Senator Wiley staunch supporter of MacArthur. Craven Street Baptist Church Burial was in Antioch Baptist Church Cemetery, Candler Morgan Funeral services for Candler Morgan, 60, of Oak View Road, Candler RED 2, who died Wednesday. in a hospital, were conducted yesterday in Oak Forest Presbyterian Church. Burial was in the church cemetery.

(AP) strike of Duke Power Company city bus drivers and mechanics in six Carolina cities moved through its second day today with no prospect of a settlement in sight. Local bus patrons had to make other arrangements for transportation in Charlotte, Winston-Salem, High Point, Salisbury, Greensboro, S. and Spartanburg, S.

C. Reports from five of the six affected cities indicated they were facing the transportation tieup with little difficulty so far. Winston-Salem reported some decline in retail trade, but otherwise the city was weathering the strike with no trouble. Greater use of private automobiles and a "sharethe-ride" move are minimizing the effect of the strike. The ordinance set a flat 25 cents cab rate for the duration of the strike.

But some taxi companies continued to use the fare meter rates, saying they understood the 25 cent rate was optional. City officials decided decided to let the matter stand over the week end and perhaps take action next week. J. C. Wright, chairman of a Gov.

ernment mediation panel that has been trying to negotiate a settlement for weeks, today said the situation was unchanged. Meanwhile, the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, independent union representing the drivers and mechanics, indicated it was prepared for a long strike if necessary.

There was speculation the Government may have tested warheads for atomic shells and guided missiles, containing an atomic explosive charge. But members of the Congressional Atomic Energy Committee says this country does not have an atomic artillery shell or guided missile ready for use yet, although officials are working hard on such weapons. Other informed sources have said the Government has proved two perimental shell designs in recent atomic tests at Las Vegas, Nevada, and at Eniwetok Atoll. Whether they are in actual production is other matter. Today's announcement said the newest tests included sive measurement of blast and thermal effects" of atomic explosions on "structures, aircraft and various other items." Much of this information will be taken out of the "secret" category and made available to the Department and Civil Defense Agency, it said.

It added that information on "several projects in fields of biology. medicine radiology" also will be declassfied and given to various Government agencies when the results have been analyzed and evaluated. In this connection the AEC reported today it has found that cer(tain drugs -notably the effective in fighting the "overwhelming infection" resultng from exposure to near-lethal doses of radiation. In a report to Senate Appropriations Subcommittee, just made public, the Commission said it hopes to find way before long to protect human beings from twice the amount of atomic radiation now believed fatal. Korean War -Continued From Page One in Korean war degenerated into disorderly rout under the punishing blows of hotly pursuing Allied mobile forces and -artillery bombardments.

East-Central front reports said the Communists were racing northward "Like a bat out of in an effort to elude the pincers assault. On the central front they fled by the thousands, some at a dead run. In the west, U. S. forces routed one screening regiment and rounded two companies.

The U. 8. 2nd Division forged the pincers on two Chinese Army Corps which had crashed 25 miles into South Korea at the high tide of the shattered Red offensive. The 2nd Division drove four and half miles over the mountains astride and east of the HongchonInje road against sporadic but sometimes bitter Chinese resstance. That bush formed the southern jaw of the pincers.

To the north, across the Parallel in the Inje bridgehead, the reinforced American task force that lead the offensive into North Korea was hooking northeastward to block the Red retreat from the break-through area. Airmen reported that panic-stricken Chinese truck drivers were running down their own troops as they tried to flee the withering rocket and napalm strikes.
