Friendly Iran Still Mystery To Americans TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Presi dent Eizenhowcr's visit Monday to Shah jMuhammcd Rcza Fahlevi will reflect a century of unbroken and friendly diplomatic relations between Iran and the United Slates, Iran, or Persia, was amonK America's first friends in this area and has remained firmly (o. I'or the average American however, it has also remained one of the least known countries. At Tabriz, in Iran's far north west corner, Iranians are building a monument to an American teacher named Howard Baskcr ville. He fought for the establish ment of the Iranian constitutional monarchy in a civil war half a century ago. The monument marks the spot where Baskcrvillc died in a conflict which few Americans ever heard of. Iranians have been interested in America for decades. Americans tended to ignore or forget Iran except in times of sudden crisis. The President's visit may serve to remind Iranians that this atti tude has changed. Americans came into Iran in a big way during World War 11 when the Persian Gulf Command helped funnel arms to (he Soviet Union over a tortuous 1,800 mile railroad route. Today thousands of Americans are working in Iran on various development projects, helping train the army or here in private business. For years British influence was dominant. Now Americans are stronger although they have re frained from political pressures on Iranian governments. In fact some Iranians criticize the United states for this, saying you re too democratic.

The chute popped open 3.6 miles above the desert floor and low red him gently to earth. The en tire descent took 13 and a half minutes.

Ervin L. Peterson, now assist ant secretary of agriculture and former director of the Oregon Dc partment of Agriculture, said soil and water conservation must be accelerated even with surpluses now. If current production scales arc to be maintained in the lace of rising population this nation be tween 1975 and 2000 will have to decide whether to convert timber lands to agriculture. Earlier J. Gilbert Cox. in the keynote address, said Ihe need for conservation is greater than ever. He declared: "The manner in which we use these raw ma terials will always have a pro found influence on production." Cox, a vice president of the na tional association, told the nearly 400 delegates: "We know that conservation has helped many farmers increase their yields per acie, and thereby has contributed to our total heavy production of certain crops such as corn and wheat. "But the conservation program has also brought about a shift in the use of many thousands of acres from intensive production beyond the natural capabilities of the land, to a safer, less intensive conservation use."
