The Illinois governor thus pro vided a Democratic answer to charges by General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Republican nomi nee, that the Truman administra tion had "fumbled and bumbled" ts way into the Korean struggle. Stevenson spoke from a studio after he was acclaimed by about 100,000 persons on his arrival here and in a parade through Los An geles streets. i "There is a much broader prob em than can be expressed in the one word Kprea,' be said.

Charge Delays He charged that the British, who want compensation and damages for. losses under a contract due to run until 1993, intended merely to waste tune by continuing the note exchange and "prevent us from taking another economic path which would bring salvation and freedom to the Iranian people." "The British government so far has prevented our reaching an agreement," Mossadegh said. "The Iranian government is un fortunately obliged to break diplo matic relations with Britain." That means withdrawal of dip lomats from the Iranian embassy in London and return of British diplomats from Tehran. Interna tional custom allows each nation to name another to represent its interests. -Blame Mossadegh I British officials in London de clared Mossadegh was solely to blame for the break. They called it-"a futile. move." It lessens chances of a settlement by remov ing a major means of contract be tween the two nations, iney saia, but Britain intends to go on seek ing a settlement. .

The instrument-laden balloons, tall as 10-story buildings, were re leased from the Coast Guard ice breaker Eastwind in Baffin Bay, west of northern Greenland. - The j soaring rockets radioed ' back cosmic radiation measure ments at the one point on thi globe where the earth's magnetw field has the least influence on in coming: cosmic ray particles. T Tabulations Begin ' It will take scientists months to tabulate and interpret the lnfor- mation obtained. This 40 miles is the sreatest height I known to have been reached in these latitudes,",-the Navy said. The' Navy also sent i photographic "nuclear emulsion" plates aboard the balloons to alti tudes Of about 80,000 feet, or 17 miles. The valuable photographic and equipment from two plates of the. balloons were seen to para chute '! safely to earth. One set landed on EUesmere island west of Greenland, and the other on the Greenland icecap within 10 miles of the! geomagnetic pole. Storms Slow Test - The snow storms during the last of August and early Septem ber ; prevented Navy helicopters from .recovering the equipment," the Navy announcement said. 1 "Dr. Marcel Schein of the Uni versity of Chicago has offered reward of $100 for the return of this equipment and there is some hope that it may be recovered by the Greenlanders or Eskimos dur ing the coming spring." Fourteen balloons, ranrinz in diameter from 55 to more than 100 feet, .were launched from a flight deck! only 60 feet square. It was the first time this has been done from a vessel as small as an ice breaker. Deacon Type Balloons The Eastwind had to race down- wind, through iceberg-strewn waters, at the speed of the wind in order to create the no-wind can-: dition essential lor launching. The rockets launched from some of the balloons were of the "deacon" type, less than eieht inches In diameter and more than 10 feet long'. Each rocket carried either a Geiger counter or an ionization chamber to measure the cosmic radiation and "telemeter" the data back to the Eastwind for recording . and! analysis.
