Two are held for the Bahrein constituency, in the Senate, or upper house; 30 of the 60 scats are filled hy appoint ment by the shah, the 44-ycar- old Mohammed Rcza Pahlevi, and the other members are elected. Ruled by Decree Iran has been ruled by decree since May, 1961, when the shah I dissolved Parliament on the ground the parliamentary elec tions that year had been found to be rigged. Since then the electoral laws have been chang ed and this is the first time and somewhat experimental election under the new system. Previously in Iran Parliament had been completely dominated by the aristocracy, powerful feu day landlords, and the Moslem clergy although peasants and laborers comprise more than 85 per cent of the population. Early this year the shah pro posed sweeping electoral and property reforms that gave the vote to all classes and both sexes. More than five million votes were cast in a national referendum on the reform laws and they were approved by more than 99 per cent of the ballots. One-Hay Klrrtinn In former times, elections were long drawn out affairs last ing weeks or months and on occasion, years. Under the new program there is a one-day elec tion, with registration and is suance of ballots somewhat along the lines common in West ern countries. Registration has been slow, with only 500.000 voters regis tered up to Sept. 1. But the government expected a last min ute rush that would result in a turnout of at least imro.OOO and possibly 5,000,000 of Iran's total population of 21,000,000. Electioneering also was vir tually non-existent because of the absence of any strong pop-1 ular parlies, and particularly no j ! government opposition party. I The Tudeh (Communist) party in Iran was outlawed in I'M!) , after an alleged party member made an unsuccessful attempt on the shah's life. For a time the National Front party which brought Mohammed Mossadegh to the premiership came to prominence but with the down ! (all of Mossadegh on treason I charges in 1953 the party was broken up and many of its lead ers still nre in jail. Two New Groups Two new groups have, how ever, appeared on the political scene in the wake of the shah's reforms. One, calling itself the "Progressive Center." is com prised mainly of intellectuals and is headed hy a youthful for mer cabinet minister. The other is a congress of workers, farm ers, government employees and so on. It is from these groups that the candidates for Tues day's elections have come. For n week up to Aug. ,11 some 1.180 men and women rep resenting the Progressive Cen ter and workers and peasants from throughout Iran met in Tehran in what was called a "congress of free men and wom en. At its conclusion the con gress, announcing itself as the "union of national forces," re leased the names of its 193 can didates for the Majlis. The may or of Tehran announced the re sults and the names of the nom inees were read over Radio Iran. Thirty-nine of the candidates were from the Progressive Cen ter and the rest from the work er-farmer forces. Six of the nominees were women a his toric first for Iran. Forty - one were small farmers or agrono mists, ten were journalists, 22 physicians, 13 were laboring 1 men and the rest were largely from the ranks of civil servants. Practically all the nominees were unknowns. After the names were announced Premier Assa dollah Alam said, "I hardly know more than 10 per cent of them." All the candidates support the shah's government and seem sure of election. At this stage of Iran's step-by-step reform no opposition came forward and if the absence of a Western-style election campaign was regarded as hardly regular, no voice was raised in protest. has a population of nearly 19 norities include Montenegrans, mm 033 OS Men Found With Illegal Game Bird A Medford man and a Central i Point man were cited for ille gal possession of game bird while hunting in the White City area, slate police have reported.

To its east lies Bulgaria, with Albania on its southern borders. Western Yugo slavia coasts on the Adriatic Sea. The country was put together as a kingdom in 19111 by the un ion of formerly Turkish-ruled Serbia with seven provinces which mostly formed part of the crumbled Austro-Hungarian em pire. A Socialist Republic Marshall Tito made Yugo slavia a socialist federal repub lic and became its first and only chief of state on Jan. 31, 1946, after driving out the Germans who invaded in 1941 and liqui dating his political opposition at home. In a country which is still 60 per cent agricultural and whose surface is covered with 19 mil lion acres of beech, oak and fir forest, the peasants still dress in the costumes of old feudal Europe. Even in the capital of Bel grade, which has 700,000 inhab itants, thatched cottages still stand among the Communist style modernity and character istic Balkan peasants can be seen on the streets. A Melting Pot Because of the notoriously checkered history of the Balkan Peninsula, Yugoslavia is a melt ing pot of many nationalities and minorities. Serbs (41.6 per cent), Croats (23.4 per cent) and Slovenes (8.8 per cent) form the bulk of the population, but mi- Shiptars (Albanians), Hungari ans, Turks, Slovaks, Gypsies, Germans, Bulgarians, Roman ians, and others. Minorities enjoy full cultural freedom and there are 3,404 na tional minority schools teaching in different languages or dia lects. But the main languages are the Slavic Serbo-Croat and Slovenian and Macedonian. Yugoslavia still is a poor land, struggling to take its place in the industrialized 20th Century. Although economic conditions are improving, even skilled workers earn very low wages by Western standards roughly 45, 000 dinars or $59 a month. To this is added 3,500 dinars or $4.60 a month for each child. Marshal Tito's current 1961-65 five-year plan calls for a 70 per cent increase in industrial pro duction, on top of great increases registered since pre-war 1939. Increase In Production Since 1939, there has been a 430 per cent increase in Yugo slavia's production of electrical energy alone. Mining of coal, lignite, iron, lead and copper have shown big strides. Metal lurgy, including lead refine ment which gives Yugoslavia its I biggest dollar earner, also is i booming. Yugoslavia's minerals include coal, iron, copper, chrome - ore, antimony, manganese, lead, py rites, mercury, salt and baux ite.
