GI's Leave Iran Without Regret; Memories, Like Iran Eggs, All Bad By Frederick C. Othman United Press Correspondent ' Washington, Jan. 3 (U.R) Secretary of State Jimmy Byrnes reports that our soldiers at long last have decamped from Iran, where the folks let their feet go bare, but wrap their heads in goat fur. Ah, romantic Iran. Land of Schecherazade. One thousand and one nights. Shieks. Prin cesses (females, anyhow) in Har em veils! What memories. All bad, like Iranian eggs. What I mean is that insofar as the troops are concerned, it's about time they left Iran. I know about this, because I was In Iran on a flying junket a few weeks back and I never felt so sorry for fighting men. Can't Work Br Uaj The place was Abadan, on the Persian gulf, next door to the Anglo-Iranian oil refinery, big gest in the Middle East. The main job here was fixing air planes at night, because any body who touched a monkey wrench by day got a blister. "This is the hottest place in the world," said the commander, who shall be nameless here, and who knew he was a low-down bum in the opinion of his sol diers. His was a prison camp in reverse. He said he dared not let any G. I. off the barracks compound, because of the weird diseases they couldn't help but pick up on the other side of the fence. He said this broke his heart, but that he'd rather have a soldier sore at him than suffering from ailments unknown to the west ern world. 120 In Shade The troops tried to sleep by day in an average temperature of 120 in the shade. They work ed all night on the machinery. Between times they cussed their 04.9 WOMEN!

The commandant said no man could stand the place for more than year. When shiny passenger planes like the one that carried me, dropped down to refuel, the soldiers got out of hand. No body could blame 'em, "We want to go home . . . We want to go home . . . we want to go home," they chanted as I walked through the establish ment. Anywhere else in the army, they'd have been slapped in the guard house, but here dis cipline was adulterated by Iran ian heat. The head man said he couldn't blame anybody for going a little berserk, just from the sweat that clung to him 24 hours a day, day after day. That was only part of it. Nothing tastes right in Abadan. Nothing looks good. Nobody can smile. I was on my way. two hours after I arrived. I felt guilty, climbing into that pretty airplane. I tried not to look at the youngsters jammed there In the dust, still chanting, "We want to go home."
