Both Harriman and Iran's government were said to have submitted similar proposals under which Iranian ownership of the giant AIOC refinery would be accepted as prescribed in the na tionalization. law. However, would be an associated company controlled by oil customers. Harriman was understood to have proposed that this company manage the wells and the Abadan refinery, as well as distribute and market the oil. The Iranians reportedly want to manage and direct production themselves, leaving only the marketing abroad to the foreigners.

Britain so far has insisted that her trained technicians must retain control of the production process.

And that is why the tobacco tax shift measure will be held up by th? Senate, pending further House efforts to balance the budget. FROM ANOTHER source, Rep. James F. Malley (D-Somersworth), who saw his combination sales tax and business profits levy go down the drain yesterday, announced he would not support any further tax proposals.

Malley said further that the only way for the Legislature to adjourn "before snow flies." is for the budget to be brought back and slashed drastically. MEANWHILE chairman Bass revealed that his committee not only opposes the head tax idea proposed by Rep. Gardner C. Turner (R-Kecne), but they would not extend to the Keene lawmaker the opportunity of tacking his head tax plan onto any bill in the committee's possession. This rebuff came as it was speculated that Turner is considering running for governor next year.

Bass already is an announced candidate and Speaker Lane Dwinell of Lebanon is another possible aspirant for governorship.

A.previous plan to ban any official was discarded on the grounds that it would hit many more men than Acheson. Representative Phillips (R-Calif.) sponsor of the amendment, told newsmen it would be offered late today or tomorrow. He said it would embody the principle that the policy making heads of a major department "should be perfectly clear of any suspicion of previous obligation to or representation of a foreign government."

Dwight D. Eisenhower's reported advocacy of a single western European army under one flag and one command has removed the general from the presidential picture.
