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.

fate. 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."

(U.R) Wearing the two-starred
uniform of a U. S. army air
corps major general, Claire L.
Chennault, former leader of the
famed "Flying Tigers" arrived
here today en route to Chinn
"Just to look around as a private
citizen."
Before his departure from San
Francisco last night the army
transport command had classed
his mission as "secret" and the
Chinese consulate there hinted
he might be headed for a civil
ian job with the central govern
ment of China.
Chennault retired from active
duly last Oct. 21.
The hard-bitten former Flying
Tiger and commander of the
14th air force in China told news
men during an hour and one
half stopover before continuing
to Guam that he doesn't believe
that conditions In north China
"can be correctly described as a
civil war."
