Iran Youths Sum moned To Defend Land TEHRAN, March 21 (P) Iran's 19-year-olds were summoned to the colors today in tho wake of reports .that three Iranian garrisons were under attack by Kurdish tribesmen in the isolated region near the border of Iraq. At the same time, leaders of Iran's leftist Tudeh party; were called into private session and rightist elements expressed belief the Tudeh party might lead leftist demonstrations againit the government because of its appeal to the United Nations security council against continued presence of Russian troops in Iran. (In Baghdad, a former Iraq diplomat declared Tuesday upon returning from Tehran that the Tudeh party could stage a coup d'etat at any time. He added: "The great fear in Iran today is that if the Iranians officially announce that they will take the matter to the UNO, then the communists will be given the word to strike"). Rightist Deputy Said Zia Ed Din, described by political writ ers as anti-Russian, and gener ally known as a leading oppo nent of Premier Ahmed Qavam es Saltanch, was taken into cus tody yesterday by two men in the uniform of Iranian army colonels. Not Liked Zia Ed-Din told newsmen:- "I think they are arresting me be cause I am not liked by the Russians." He said in an inter view Tuesday that "Iran's only hops lies with the UNO." Prince Firouz, director of propaganda and political under secretary of state, said the dep uty was "put under preventive detention pending investigation of certain charges" on orders of Premier Ahmed Qavam. Besiegod , ;!, An Iranian general' staff 'jflift; ficcr said heavy snows prevent;; ed reinforcement of the three, garrisons besieged by Kurds, in the northwest, but, he added, seven Iranian planes were' try ing to keep the garrisons from being cut off from divisional headquarters. He said 3000 tribesmen were engaged in the attacks against the garrisons at Sardasht, Banch and Saqqiz, while "loy al" Kurds had engaged "demo crats" of self-proclaimed au tonomous Azerbaijan province, which is occupied by Russian troops. The officer said "strangers" speaking a Turku dialect simi lar to that heard in northern Azerbaijan had been observed among the tribesmen attacking the Iranian garrisons.

In the : last. 48 hours before camp closure, releases came for 102 persons who had previously been held as department of jus tice internees. Several had been actually moved to the intern ment camp -bound train, but when their status was changed got off the train and took regular transportation 1 as free "reloca tees" to other points. Altogether, 552 persons of Japanese descent moved out of the camp yesterday, and not an evacuee was left there last night. Four hundred fifty left by train for Crystal City, Tex., as de tainees, 102 were relocated, and five went to San Francisco under department of justice jurisdic tion. Of the latter, three were in volved in the civil liberties union "test cases" to be heard in San Francisco within 30 days. The other two were listed as "segre gated parolees." .- Throughout yester day, de tained evacuees passed through final processing and were moved to- tho enclosure to - await - the train, which pulled out last night. Border patrolmen took charge of them as they left the colony area, which is controlled by the WRA. By last night, the colony's re maining inhabitants were dogs. Numerous canines were left be hind as the evacuees moved out, although many of the colonists had arranged to take their pets with them. The abandoned dogs will probably be destroyed. What will happen to the build ings and other facilities at the camp has not been definitely de termined. Some will be taken by the reclamation service. Tule lake growers would like to have the army barracks for a labor camp. There is talk of making WRA Caucasian apartments available as temporary housing for ex-servicemen. . The reclama tion service is. taking back the land. .

Murphy had de nounced Homma's trial as a descent "to the level of re vengeful blood purges." . .
