The bill would also prohibit
discrimination from membership
in labor unions.

appropriations committee clamped

reiected the Governor's flat in
come tax of one-half of one per
rent, the key measure in his
$163,000,000 tax program.

Plot Stopped By
Iranian Officers -
TEHRAN, Iran, May 16 (JP)
Police arrested the No. 2 man
of the fanatical Fedeyan Islam
religious society in a gun fight
today and charged him with plot
ting the assassination of Premier
Mohammed Mossadegh.
The arrest and a newspaper
campaign threatening a Moslem
holy war against Britain built
up pressure for the speedy seiz
ure of the rich Anglo-Iranian
oil company under the national
ization law.
All newspapers printed alarm
ist reports—not confirmed by the
British government—that Britain
is planning to send parachute
troops •to Iran to hold her south
ern oil fields. A nationalist paper
accused. Britain of aiming at par
tition of the country with Russia.

hours of talk at their 53rd meet
ing today. Results: zero.

agree on an agenda for a. meet
ing of the foreign ministers.
Andrei Gromyko, Russian dep
uty foreign , minister, accused the
western delegates of trying to get
Russia to accede to western
grounds for the meeting. Ernest
Davies of Great Britain replied
that this was perfectly true and
was reasonable because the west
ern grounds were reasonable.
Soaring Prices Wage
Line Threat—Tobin
WASHINGTON, May 16—(JP)—
The wage line simply cannot be
held if living costs keep soaring,
Secretary of Labor Tobin told
Congress today.'
Secretary of Agriculture Bran
nan conceded that some livestock
feeders "are going to get hurt" by
the beef price rollback but - he
backed up the order and disputed
claims that it will "jeopardize
production." He 'gave his views
while cattlemen were filing new
complaints of a "squeeze" and an
investigation of reports of illegal
slaughtering was getting under
way.
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer
put in a warning that the United
States is scraping the bottom on
some important defense materials,
including copper and zinc.
PAGE THREE
The dispute shoved aside Brad
ley's testimony on the Korean
War.
It brought angry talk that the
White House may be "pulling an
iron curtain" down on the testi
mony—and counter charges that
the Republicans may be "trying
to sabotage" the Asia policy in
quiry because they don't like the
way the testimony is going.
Vote Today
The Senate armed services and
foreign relations committees—
conducting the hearing—will vote
at noon tomorrow, on whether to
try to force Bradley to reveal the
White House conversation. All
the signs are that Bradley will
be upheld in his refusal.
Chairman Russell (D-Ga.), the
inquiry chairman, said the ques
tion will be: "Whether or not a
congressional committee has the
power to compel an adviser of
the President of the United States
to disclose the details of a con
versation he had with the Presi
dent on a confidential basis."
No witnesses are expected to be
heard tomorrow but Maj. Gen.
Hoyt Vandenberg, Air. Force
