Truman Urges Oil Solution (Continued from Page One) erican views on problems abroad are generally expressed through regular State Department channels. The Presidential appeals to both Tehran and London made it apparent that, although the U. S. takes a neutral stand, 16 cannot remain Indifferent to the tense situation.

The U. is reportedly that Iran's giant neighbor, Soviet Russia, may take advantage of the unrest and confusion to extend its influence in the middle east. This could take the form of direct intervention in Northern Iran or perhaps a substitute of Russian technicians for British in the Southern Oil Concessions. Iranian Communists have been exploiting the Nationalist sentiments evoked by the oil nationalizatheition and picturing themselves As enemies of foreign' exploitation of Iranian resources. Unless Mr.

Truman's letter has some effect on Iranian officials, the oil company's holdings are scheduled to be formally taken over Monday. Company officials have not responded to the government's request that they participate in the technicalities of this switch-over. The government has indicated that employes will be retained. The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, a billion dollar firm and Britain's largest single overseas investment, runs the world's biggest refinery at Abadan. also controls vast production, many tankers and marketing faoilities.

(London dispatches said the British Government, which owns 53 per cent of the company's stock, may suggest that the firm be split into separate production and distribution organizations, Under this plan the company would continue to operate the producing facilities in the name of the Iranian Government. This nationalized outfit would sell the oil to an Anglo-Iranian distribution organization operating as a world marketing agency.)
