By FRED J. ZUSY
Tehran, Iran A glamorous monarch from one of the oldest
countries in the world will visit the United States in late Novem
ber. He is Mohammad Reza Pahlevi the 29-year-old shah of Iran.
The Persian ruler's title is really shah-in-shah, which means king
of kings, but by usage he s re-
lerred to as Just plain Shan.
The shah is a tall, dark and
handsome man with a serious
mien and a royal poise.
Since he inherited the ancient
crown of Darius in 1941 he's had
more than his share of troubles.
He's a king who loves flying
and has a deep Interest in sports.
He pilots his own plane here
a B 17 and is an accomplished
horseman, skiier, soccer and ten
nis player.
He owns about 20 palaces
scattered about, some of them
elaborate Oriental affairs in the
tradition of the East. He has an
Immensely valuable treasury of
crown jewels and heirlooms.
The shah's a single man now,
having earlier this year divorced
Princess Fawzia, sister of Egypt's
King Farouk and reputedly one
of the most beautiful women in
the world.
He narrowly escaped death in
February of this year when a
would-be assassin fired five shots
at him from close range. One hit
the shah's cheek and another
penetrated his side. Three others
went through his hat. The shah
suffered only slight injury.
The shah became Persia's
ruler back in 1941 when he was
21 years old. (He'll be 30 Oct.
26, before he gets to the states.)
The Allies accused his father
of being pro-German and the old
shah was forced to abdicate. He
had been elected shah by a con
stitutional assembly in 1925 after
leading a coup d'etat in 1921.
The young shah inherited im
mediately all the difficulties of
a country caught between the
millstones of war.
Persia with its vast oil re
sources was a tremendous prize.
The Allies the United States,
Britain and Russia moved in
troops to safeguard the vital
southern lend-lease supply line
to Russia. The shah formally en
tered Iran in the war on the side
of the Allies.
The war brought great eco
nomic and social problems to
Iran problems still confront
ing the country.
Right after the war Russia,
making its first move toward
expansion southward, encourag
ed setting up of puppet peoples'
republics among the Azerbai
janis and the Kurds in northern
Iran.
World disaproval, voiced by
the United Nations with the
backing of the United States,
forced withdrawl of Russian as
sistance, followed by the col
lapse of the puppet governments.
They lasted less than a year.
The shah had some more
trouble with Russia over Soviet
Iran's Shah
demands lor an oil concession
in northern Iran. The Anglo
Iranian Oil Co., controlled by
tne British government, has
concession in the south which
furnishes a large part of Iran's
income.
The Iranian majlis, or parlia
ment, voted overwhelming dis
approval of the Russian conces
sion.
Because of his interest in in
ternational improvements i n
Iran, the shah plans to spend
much of his two or three weeks
in the States looking at agricul
tural and other projects. He
wants to see places like TVA
and Boulder Dam.
As a sportsman he hopes to
have time to see a football game
one of his Saturday afternoons
in America. But, though he'll
be in Los Angeles, he told a re
porter he doesn't think he'll have
time to look in on Hollywood.
Since the shah's divorce his
name has been linked in gossip
with several women.
There is no definite indication
that he will remarry in the near
future.
However, he recently told a
reporter that he feels it his duty
that the present dynasty be con
tinued through a male heir.
Queen Fawzia bore him one
child a daughter.

500-Mile Jel for
Transport Urged
Seattle, Sept. 20 U. Well-
wood E. Beall, Boeing Airplane
company vice president, today
urged government and industry
leaders to make possible immedi
ate production of a 500-mile-an-
hour jet transport.
Beall declared that the new
jet was economically feasible for
airline traffic and also was ab
solutely essential to a well-
rounded national defense department.
Based on its experience with
the U. S. Air Force XB-47 strato
jet bomber, Boeing believes "a
fleet of Jets could effectively
serve up to 90 per cent of all
available domestic airline pas
senger traffic, at a greater pro
fit and speed potential than
either turbo-prop or convention
al airliners even at a SO per
cent load factor," Beall de
clared.
Major Takes Wife
From Leper Colony
Carville, La., Sept. 20 U.R
A retired army major, who
braved three years in a leper's
colony to be near his stricken
wife, carried her today toward
their new home where they can
live together under one roof.
Mrs. Hans Hombostel was re
leased from the National Lepro
sarium here yesterday, the first
time she had known freedom in
more than six years.
She and her loyal husband
borrowed a station wagon and
headed for Long Island, N. Y.
The New York state health de
partment has granted her per
mission to take private treat
ments there without segregation.
The Hornbostels were sep
arated for the first time when
both became wartime prisoners
of the Japanese. She was lib
erated three years later, but in
June, 1946, she was confined
again in the leprosarium here.
Hombostel requested permis
sion to enter the colony with
her, even if it meant he would
become a leper. Hospital auth
orities denied his plea but al
lowed the couple to rent a small
cottage on the grounds. He
slept away from the institution
in a rented room but risked ex
posure daily to visit her.

Germs Battle
With Penicillin
Atlantic City, N.J.. Sept. 20
UP) What happens In your body
when you get a shot of penicillin?
Two chemists told today of
watching a battle between
germs and penicillin under a
high-power microscope.
The germs were golden-colored
ones, staphylococcus aure
us, that cause boils. They saw
the small germs moving about
rapidly in every direction.
Then the chemists added a
drop of penicillin salt. The tiny
particles or molecules of penicil
lin clumped together and start
ed attacking the germs. They
attached themselves to the sur
face of the germs. The bacteria
slowed down almost immedi
ately. The germs stopped, grouped
into clusters, cemeted together
and nearly surrounded by the
clumps of penicillin.
"In a matter of minutes, all
visible bacteria seemed lifeless
and doomed to progressive lysis
(rupturing) and death, the re
port said.
This eyewitness account was
given to the American Chemical
society by Prof. Ernst A. Hau-
ser and Oeorge J. Marlowe of
the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.
