The Dixon Evening Dixon. Illinois Page 6 Tuesday. July 22, 1952 Mossadegh Returns as Iran Premier TEHRAN. (AP) Iran's Parliament overwhelmingly renominated Mohammed Mossadegh premier today after two days of bloody Nationalist rioting: and disorder had forced the more moderate Amed Qavam from the office. Qavam's announced determination to seek a settlement of Iran's oil dispute with Britain set off Communist-strengthened National-list mobs who screamed through the streets for his death and battled with police and troops.

Twenty persons reportedly were killed in the fighting which raged through the capital Monday. Disorders erupted in other parts of the country before Qavam resigned Monday. Mossadegh, the aged Nationalist hero who pushed nationalization of Iran's British-operated oil industry to completion last year, quit the premiership last week after Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi refused to let him be war minister as well as premier.

Kemp Pays $40 In Fines for Police Chase Lloyd Kemp, the 17-ycar-old rural Dixon youth who led policemen from two'counties on a wild, 28-mile chase Friday, July 18, end ed up yesterday afternoon with two fines totaling $40 and costs. Kemp, who was represented by Attys. Donald Vaile and Albert N. Kennedy, did not have to face a stolen car charge, as John Nelson, 319 Douglas whose car was used by the youth, dropped the charge.

Nelson told Justice Sterling W. Schrock at the hearing yesterday that he had allowed the youths to use the car before and had charged them $1 a day. He said he felt that their using of the car on Friday's ride could not be termed "stealing." Twelve bullets had been pumped into the Nelson car by law enforcement officers in the chase from the Dixon downtown area to the dead end of Ridge road op Rt. 64 near Mt. Morris.

Kemp received his two fines for reckless driving, $15, and resisting arrest, $25. The two other charges, running a stop sign and operating an auto without a vehicle license, were continued by Schrock.

Moody may eyeing the vice presidential nomination. The rule was gaveied into exist ence by Gov.

Paul Dever of Massachusetts, the temporary chairman, after piercing complaints by Southern leaders that it would put them in the position of violating their state laws or party organization instructions. Affects Five Five states with 110 votes toward the needed for the presiden- ial nomination would be affected directly. They are Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana. All of these five have laid out machinery with which they could bolt the national ticket if they don't like the nominee or the platform. Texas, wun oz votes, seemed likely to go along with the Moody rule.

Gov. Allan Shivers said it doesn't conflict with state laws there, which he said requires that the people get a chance to vote 1 the national party nominees. But the five other delegations called strategy caucuses. There indications they might decide individually or collectively to defy the rule's requirement that the chairmen of the delegations certify the loyalty "assurance." Await Next Move. seemed to know what the next move might be if that occur- The Moody rule's adoption fore cast the later approval by the con tention of a civil rights plank so strong in its terms that the South- have another reason to stride angrily out of this almost-leaderless convention.

But the growing possibility that the reluctant Stevenson would wind 1 presidential nomination he has said repeatedly he doesn't vant laid something of a restrain ing hand on the bolt threats. There was indisputable evidence that the Dixie members regard Stevenson rather fondly as a "kiss- cousin who may not always agree with them on such principles are involved in the civil rights proposals, but as a candidate who would be reasonable about his differences with them. Barklcy Helps Vice President Alben Barklev's abrupt exit from the presidential scramble Monday night strengthened the draft-Stevenson move ment, which has been nurtured on the convention floor by such able strategists as Jacob M. Arvey, Illinois national committeeman. Barkley quit with a bitter blast at "self -anointed political labor leaders" who had told him face to face a day earlier they considered him too old at 74 and had made other commitments.

The vice president said that lead ers of certain big-state delegations who had been egging; him on run had "found it expedient" to withdraw their support. Move To Adlal There wasn't too much doubt in anyone's mind that these delegations were moving toward Steven son. Even New York's 94-vote group, the bulk of which has been committed to Averell Harriman showed signs of wavering. This put Stevenson under more and more compulsion s( the nomination is concerned. He has said he wants only to re-election as governor of Illinois and has urged delegates not to put mm in nomination.

The Stevenson boom had a spontaneous air but it gave some poli ticians the impression that there was more behind it than met the eye. Sen. Guy Gillette of Iowa hard Barkley supporter, said he knew what was going on because a dozen button-holing Democrats had been around to see him about the possibility of dredging up some Stevenson votes among Iowa Jonathan Daniels of North Caro- na, a former aide to President Truman who tried unsuccessfully to compromise the "loyalty rule fight, said: "I think Stevenson 1 the nominee." Draft Former Sen. Scott Lucas of Uli )is said Barkley's withdrawal would speed up the Stevenson draft. Former Sen.

Francis Myers Pennsylvania said the mcnt for the Illinois governor was something that grew up from the "floor" after Stevenson wel coming speech to the convention Monday. The governor got a nice hand- the best thus far in a convention. The Stevenson movement was so hot that backers of some of the other candidates were beginning sound out the possibility of climbing aboard the bandwagon in second place. Although Sen.

Republicans are still discussing Dirksen speech, in which shook a finger at Dewey from the speaker platform and set off demonstration by admonishing the that Dewey twice led the GOP to defeat and should not be permitted to do it again. Backed Taft Dirksen spoke as a key figure ir the unsuccessful drive to win tht presidential nomination for Sen Robert A.

How can you have regrets about stating fact? 1 simply toid uie trutn about Dewey, that all. He said the speech had drawn fire from a lot of fellow Republic- but added firmly: "For every complaint there were 199 pats on the back." Taft Okayed It Dirksen said he had Taft's per-ission to "say what you want to" before he spoke. The Illinois senator said his re- larks about Dewey "implied no reflection on General Eisenhower. Eisenhower and I have been friends for years." He said he intends to "speak all vcr the country" for the general nd the rest of the Republican ticket. Youth Loses at Speeding Trial; May Appeal Case Sherwin Spielman, the Dixon youth who is fighting a speeding charge brought against him July as found guilty this morning in justice court and fined $25 and costs.

His attorney, however, has indicated he will file an appeal in circuit court here. Spielman was arrested by Police Officers John Woodyatt and Jack Van Meter at the Intersection of Galena and Boyd streets. Police charged him with racing his car with one driven by Donald Barton, Dixon, who previously pleaded guilty to a speeding charge. Barton was arrested earlier that night. Spielman was.

fined by Justice Sterling W. Schrock. His attorney is Robert Besse, Sterling. GROCERS OUTSKLL TAVERNS Food stores are becoming the major sales outlet for beer, superseding the corner tavern, according to Food Engineering, McGraw-Hill publication. Last year canned and bottled beer accounted for 7i per cent of all beer sold, compared with 50 per cent in 1950.

Tennessee claims the most committed delegates, some of his strategists were saying that perhaps it might not be a bad idea to maneuver him into a position where he could move quickly toward the No. 2 place. But a Cabinet member who didn't want to be quoted by name told a reporter he thinks Kefauver cut his tics with the in helping sponsor the Moody "loyalty" rule. In all this topsy-turvey jockeying, the wishes of President Truman remained unknown. It began to look, in some respects, as If Truman might become the forgotten man of the convention, so far as the nomination is concerned.
