Once as a boy of eight he was taking his father's supper to him on the job, stubbed his toe and spilled the contents of the lunch pail on the pavement. A kind lady called him in and replaced the poached eggs and toast with leg of lamb and bread and butter. His father came home from work late that night and searched the cupboards for more of "that fine lamb" mystifying his wife and other members of the family who knew what had been sent.

Harry never told how the pail's contents had been switched, causing a family mystery that was unsolved for years. Mr. Westbrook was introduced by Clare Burke, program chairman. his wife, his mother-in-law, his sister-in-law and then himself while four frightened children stared without comprehension.

This mission was to make a friendly visit to the Middle Eastern nation and get a first-hand report on conditions there.

Certainly there could be no reasonable objection to such a visit as Britain, along with most of the world, was wondering what was happening inside the little country. But the mission hasn't made much headway since its arrival in Tehran, according to latest reports from London. The Russians refused the British group permission to enter Azerbaijan province, where the Soviet troops are stationed and where the oil is located which Iran has agreed to share with Moscow. The Russians didn't say why the Britons weren't welcome, but it se ns rather evident that if everything was on the up BY LOtIS SINCLAIR Failure of the United States and Eritain to take a more determined stand on the Russian-Iranian matter when it first came before the security council of the United Nations has brought, a gradual weakening in the Soviet opposition which well may result in the removal of the problem from the UN agenda. The situation reached a stage yesterday where the probabilities are strong that Russia will win her point and the Iranian question will be placed beyond the reach of the council.

If this happens, the council will suffer a severe blow to its prestige, making it more difficult to reach fearless decisions in the future. Unfortunately, the Anglo-American delegates failed to be firm enough when the Iranian quescion was brought before the security council.

As a matter of fact the ca.se was not presented as a dispute, which it actually was. This evasiveness now is catching up the U.

S. and Britain. The secretary-general of the UN has intimated that the Anglo-American move to keep the case on the anenda Ls illegal because it was rot labeled as a dispute in the first plare. If his contention is upheld the matter cannot be hrcught up again before the council unless Iran asks for a new investigation.
