Mossadegh in
Iran Jail Cell
Awaiting Trial
Shah Ready to
Accept Aid As
Treasury Empty
Tehran, Iran ) Official
sources announced that police
have transferred ex-Premier
Mohammed Mossadegh from
the comfortable qnaiten of
the Tehran Officers' Club to a
Jill eeU.
Mossadegh, clad in pajamas,
surrendered last week after a
bloody coop by supporters of
Sha Mohammed Reza Pahlevi
took over the government he
had refused to relinquish.
The wily and weepy old na
tionalist leader was interned
in the plush officers club to
await trial, possibly on charg
es of treason, for refusing to
obey the Sha's order a week
ago to hand the premiership
over to Gen. Fazollah Zahedi.
Following Mossadegh's ini
tial success inWking the roy
al order to get out, the Shah
and his queen flew to a brief
exile. . , , .
Trouble Not Over
The Iranian ruler returned
after Zahedi last Wednesday
led the royalist coup that fin
ally led to Mossaregb's down
fall. It was not disclosed in
what jail Mossadegh is held.
Even with Mossadegh a pris
oner the new Zahedi govern
ment's troubles were not over.
Small, scattered pro-Mossadegh
uprisings still were re
ported in outlying sections of
the country. And the Shah
told newsmen at a palace gar
den party yesterday his na
tion's treasury "is very empty.-

Roads Delayed
By Land Cost
' - Faced with the possibility
that they will have to allot
some $120,000 for right of way
purposes alone, members of the
Marion county court are won
dering just when reconstruct
tion of the South River road
from the Salem city limits to
Roberts can get under way.
. The distance involved is a bit
less than three miles.
The estimate of right of way
costs was made by A. D. Gra
ham, county surveyor, after he
made a check of property own
' ers involved and follows a sur
vey of the route by a state en
gineer:
The county court has been
pressed by property owners
along the route for a straighter
and wider right of way. But
with only about $26,000 set
aside annually to contribute
toward federal aid construc
tion, there is little prospect that
the court can see its way clear
to go-ahead under the most re
cent survey.
The court has on file what
is known as the Booth survey.
This survey made a few years
ago is considered reasonable by
the county court whose mem
bers believe a good road could
be constructed for about $50,-
oou.
The South River road would
be constructed on a basis of 30
per cent from the federal gov
ernment, 25 per cent from the
state and 25 per cent from the
county. However, the county is
required to secure all of the
necessary right of way.
The portion of the South
River road under consideration
carried a high volume of traf
fic, but the cost of right of way
may halt the project.
Light Showers
Sprinkle Valley
Light showers of rain de
scended on valley areas late
Sunday and early Monday,
bringing cooler temperatures
and easing forest fire danger.
In Salem, the precipitation
amounted to .13 of an inch in
the 24-hour period ending at
ju:ju a.m. Monday. August's
total rainfall to date is .48 of
an inch against a normal of .31
of an inch to this date.
Forecast for tonight and
Tuesday calls for more scatter
ed showers and little change in
temperature. Sunday's maxi
mum in Salem was 70 degrees
following a mark of 80 on Sat
urday.
.The week-end showers were
reported for all western Ore
gon, but varied from sprinkles
in some areas to sudden deluges
in some parts of Portland.
Truman Warns
OfWorldWar
Kansas City (U.B Former
President Truman warned to
day that if America does not
assume the responsibilities she
should have assumed after
the first World War, "we will
be in for another world war.
Mr. Truman said Hitler and
Mussolini were "second-rate"
compared to the Russians, and
"the only way to meet the
threat of the Russians is with
force."
He spoke before the Dis
abled American Veterans' na
tional convention here.
We tried disarmament,'
Mr. Truman said. "We offer
ed control of atomic energy
on an International basis. We
were blocked in every attempt
by the Rusisans.
"I am for a strong national
defense in your interest as
well as my own."
The former president ad
dressed some 1,500 delegates
of an expected 3,500 for the
weeklong convention.
President Eisenhower sent a
message to the convention in
which he said the DAV is the
"proudest proof of the value
Americans place on their citi
zenship. It is proof, Mr. Eis
enhower's message said, that
in a free land there is readi
ness "to risk our lives in, the
defense of our country."

10 reinstate rcn
Charges Lattimore Case
Washington (fl) The gov
ernment today asked the U. S
Court of Appeals to reinstate
four perjury charges against
Owen Lattimore which' a lower
court threw, out as violating his
constitutional rights.
Neil A. Jacoby
Member of CEA
Denver VP) President Eteen-
hower Monday picked Neil H.
Jacoby, California educator, to
be a member of the Council of
Economic Advisors.
, Eisenhower gave Jacoby, who
is dean at the school of business
administration at the Universi
ty of California at Los Angeles,
a recess appointment to the
post. The action is subject to
Senate confirmation when con
gress reconvenes in January.
Selection of Jacoby fills the
second place on the three-man
council set up to advise the
President on how to keep the
nation's economy on an even
keel.
Eisenhower named Arthur T
Burns chairman of the council
shortly after the administration
took office.
acre in size and reported out
.Fires of the past week-end
brought the total for this year
to about 400 fires with slight
ly less than 1,000 acres burn
ed. Eastern Oregon forestry
men reported this week that
most of the grass in that area
was still green and that the
green cover tended to reduce
the number of fires. Central
Oregon district headquarters
at Prineville Monday morning
at 8 o'clock said they were
having a soaking rain, which
had been falling for about two
hours at that time.
Weather forecasts received
by the foresters Monday indi
cated that rains would be fall
ing over western Oregon Mon
day through Tuesday with oc
casional showers predicted for
the forest areas around Salem
and all of the western part of
the atate. Along with the
dampness there will be rising
humidities and a westerly
wind in the Columbia river
gorge Of from 10 tO 20 milI
per hour.
The appeal papers said U. S.
District Judge Luther W.
Bergdahl "misconstrued the
counts so as to create the new
and spurious issues of free
speech, conformity of ideas,
imposition of orthodox views,
et cetera."
Judge Youngdahl, a former
republican governor of Minne
sota, last May stripped down
the indictment against the
controversial For Eastern spe
cialist from seven to three
counts. I
Unless the judge is over
turned by high courts, the gov'
ernment will have to decide
whether to bring Lattimore to
trial on the remaining three
counts or drop the case.
Lattimore, a onetime State
Department consultant, was in
dieted last December. The
charges grow out of 12 days of
stormy testimony before the
Senate internal security sub
committee nearly a year ear
lier. Since his indictment, Latti
more has been on leave of ab
sence from Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, Baltimore, where he
has been director of the Wal
ter Hines Page School of In
ternational Relations.
No Favoritism
In Income Taxes
Boston UP) Commissioner
of Internal Revenue T. Cole'
man Andrews has gone before
the American Bar Association
convention with a warning that
business and professional men
can expect no special tax fav
ors from the Eisenhower ad
ministrtion.
Speaking at a convention
luncheon Sunday, he said the
racketeer and "the so-called
pillar of the church" will re
ceive identical treatment.
He said his department will
be especially harsh on unwar
ranted "entertainment expen
ses" for Income tax deductions.
Andrews pointed out that
working widows cannot, under
present law, deduct baby-sitter
expenses in their income
taxes, "so it is a gross injustice
when businessmen and others
abuse the entertainment ex
pense privilege."
He said his agents have been
alerted to watch for abuses in
country club dues, maintenance
of cars and yachts, travel for
personal reasons and vacation
visits.
On the other hand, he said.
"the news and media of public
ity have gone on without any
