plans discussed by the Oregon State Com

ured about 310.000. and for this expense
two-thirds of the $100,000 display in the
Oregon building could be preserved.
The elaborate decorations and panorama
worked in Oregon grains, the handsome
wood panelings and other decorative fea

the Cossacks be allowed to continue serv

Siphadar and Sardarasad agreed to this.
This action followed a long day of
fighting, during which little damage
seerhs to have been done.

the Nationalists, but the Shah has re
fused, and it is now expected that the
