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.

Wearing a partial pressure suit
i:'teu witn stabilizing vanes,
"looking rather like Batman." he
plunged 10.4 miles in free fall be
fore his parachute opened. 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.
"This time it went perfectly be
cause the equipment worked as it
was designed to work," Kit'inger
said, referring to his Nov. IB leap
when he dived 14 and a half
miles for his first unoflicial rec
ord high parachute jump.
A drag chute designed to slow
the free fall portion of the first
leap opened prematurely, causin
Kittinger to tumble through space
at 450 miles an hour.
He landed in pcrlect condition
however, and the science-minded
officer was elated he had an op
portunity to find out what would
happen if something went wrong.
Sun Rocket
Launch Set
WASHINGTON (UPD The
Inited States hopes to launch a
sun rocket this week in a test
of solar-powered radio communi
cations at interplanetary dis
tances. The launching is tentatively
scheduled for Tuesday at Cape
Canaveral, Fla., according to in
formation here.
The National Aeronautics &
Spjce Administration (NASA) has

firing is imminent. But the NASA
is known to have developed equip
ment designed to transmit infor
mation more than 50 million miles
through space.
The forthcoming shot will be an
attempt to intersect the orbit of
the planet Venus with a payload
carrying scienlilic instruments
and transmitters powered by bat
teries which would be recharged
1 1 om time to time with solar
energy.
The payload, weighing less than
100 pounds, will be launched with
a Thor-ADie rocket, tnis consists
of a Thor intermediate range bal
listic missile booster with upper
stages added.
The payload ultimately will join
America's Pioneer IV and Rus

Conservation Need Cited
PORTLAND (AP) - The need
for conservation is more than
double in the face of high farm
production and research should
be accelerated, two speakers told
delegates here Thursday at a re
gional National Assn. of Soil Con
servation Districts meeting.
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."
ASKED TO PRONOUNCE
WASHINGTON (L'PH Walter
T. Bonney, information chief of
the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, asked Fri
day whether to pronounce the
name of a rocket vee-ga or vay
ga, replied, "I don't know. I'm
