British Estate Awaits
2 Naturalized Americans

AKRON', 0. (AP) Would you move to England and

lent terrorist wn arretted after a
gun battle today with police, who
on id he was plotting to assassinate
Premier Mossadegh.
The Moslem was identified as
Abolghassem Rafiee, the number
two man in the Fedayan Islam, the
fanatical religions secret society
which ia held responsible for the
slaying of former Premier R a i
mara in March.
Premier Mosnde?h has taken
refuge behind locked doors in par
liament, fearing threats against nis
life.
Police quoted Rafiee as saying
"Mossadegh is lucky I am caught.
Otherwise he would have been shot
within the next two or three days."
This was the latest incident in
restive Tehran. The parliament's
action in nationalizing the Anglo
Iranian oil company has focused
world attention once more on this
potential trouble spot in east-west
relations.
Tempers art running high. An
editor who is a close adviser to
Mossadegh says Britons face a
"holy war" if they try to obstruct
nationalization.

"Senator Flanders (Rep. Ver

something big in the wind in Ko

"Senator Kefauver (Dm,

"Flanders and Kefauver refuse
to talk about any of Marshall's off-the-record

Congress Backs Proposal
Ban On Cargoes To China
WASHINGTON - W - Con
press went on rerord Tuesday to
advocate a ban by the free world
on shipment of war materials to
Communist China.
Both the Senate and the House,
by unanimous voice votes, ap
proved a resolution calling on the
t'nited Nations general assem
bly to vole such a ban.
Such action bv the V. N.. 0 f
course, would hare only moral
force since the organization has
no enforcement powers.
The House also passed a resolu
tion saying the Chinese Commu
nist government should not be ad
mitted to V. N. membership.
However his brother, Kenneth
next in line for the inheritance if
James doesn't take it already has
made up his mind.
"I don't want it and I don't
think my brother does either," de
clared Kenneth, who lives in De
troit. "I don't want to be an Eng
lish gentleman and do nothing but
sit around ana nave tea and crum
pets."
What's more, he said, "I don't
want my children to grow up
where there'a no incentive for ad
vancement and where they can
have only one egg a week."
Both brothera work for the Jen
kins Bros., a New York valve
manufacturing firm.
The estate was left to James by
the brothers' British cousin, Mrs.
Sibyl Gape. It includes 1,000 acres
of beautiful rolling land in Cam
bridgeshire, England, two manor
houses and some securities.
There is just one catch the
recipient must live in England the
rest of his life. Both brothers are
naturalized citizens and therefore
would lose their U. S. citizen
ship by law after three years in
England.
Three Drawbacks Faced
James and his wife just returned
home two weeks ago from Eng
land where they inspected the es
tate. He says he's "by no means a
rich man," but "it is hard to
move from the United States,
where we have lived most of our
lives, to an entirely different coun
try. "On the other hand, that prop
erty has been in our family for 5U0
years. That makes the decision
difficult, too."
His wite said the oropertv
"would be wonderful for the chil
dren. She has two Davis, 7 and
Grace, 5, and expects a third
in August.
But she listed these drawbacks:
inheritance taxes would take half
the estate, the manor houses would
require a large number of ser
vants at considerable expense; ten
ants working on the estates
create a number of administrative
problems.
James has until June 30 to de
cide. If neither of the brothers ac
cept the inheritance, a nephew of
Sibyl Gape gets third chance to
meet the provisions of the will.
He should not hive to hesitate.
He's British.

poured out of the hills in attacks

It was too early to tell whether

would welcome it.
The general said if the Chinese
follow their "previous pattern of
attacking on the full moon, the
blow should come soon. The moon
comes full on the 18th of the
month. That "tives him two days." ,
Allied intelligence offices said a
striking force of 390,000 Reds was
ready for the signal to begin their
biggest offensive of the war.
A divisional spokesman said in

The referendum movement was

which increases truck taxes, and
limits for log trucks and levies
more severe penalties for over

the total log production of the state.
" An overwhelming majority of

"I'm very much concerned over

Refusal To Tell Of Talk
With Truman About Mac
Obeys Wish Of President
WASHINGTON -A!Pt The sen
ate inquiry into Gen7 Douglas Mac
Arthur's dismissal was broken off
today by a hot argument over
whether Gen. Omar Bradley should
tell about his private talks with
President Truman.
Bradley, chairman of the kint
chiefs of staff, refused Tuesday to
ten wnat ne and Mr. Truman said
to each other prior to the firing of
the Far Eastern commander. To
day, the White House said Mr.
Truman does not want Bradley to
ao so.
Nevertheless, some Republicans
of the inquiry panel made up of
the senate armed services and
foreign relations committees
were insistent that Bradley should
tell.
While Bradley sat silently in the
witness chair for more than two
hours today, the aenators argued
heatedly. Charges, implied and di
rect of trying to play politics fig
ured in the debate.
In the upshot:
1. Bradley was dismissed as a
witness until Monday,
2. The senators agreed to vote
Thursday on whether they should
insist that the five-star general tell
them about hia conference with the
President
'Sabotage' Intent Seen
Atop the charges hurled in the
committee room itself. Senator
Fulbright (D-Ark) told reporters

Arthur s ouster.
Fulbright told reporters:
"Apparently things are not quite
going the way they (Republicans)
like. I think the inference can
be drawn that because of this
they are making unfair and un
true charges about 'pulling down
the Iron Curtain'."
This was a reference to a con
tention by Sen. Knowland (R-Calif)

Checkup Ordered
On Slaughterers
WASHINGTON (Pi A nation-wide
inquiry into reports of il
legal livestock slaughtering has
been ordered by price enforcement
Director Edward P. Morgan.
Morgan said all district office
enforcement agents have been di
rected to check on class 2 slaugh
terers who were reported to have
been in business last year but who
have not registered in 1951 as re
quired by price regulations.
A class 2 slaughterer is one who
does not have his products feder
ally inspected.
Morgan said there were an esti
mated 12,000 to 15,000 such slaugh
terers last year. He said Office of
Price Stabilization records show
only about 11,000 have registered
this year.
OPS orders require a slaughterer
to get a registration number in or
der to slaughter livestock legally.
He must have such a number be
fore he can receive such a quota
of livestock for slaughtering.
Morgan said OPS agents also will
check on registered slsughterers to
see whether they are keeping with
in their legal quotas.
