Iranians Stone Americans
In Shift to Mossadegh
TEHRAN, Iran, March 2 (A 5 )— Roaming mobs, swinging
to the support of Premier Mohammed Mossadegh, shouted
anti-American slogans and stoned American homes and cars
in Tehran today. . V
The aged but durable Premier seemed to be regaining the
upper hand after a riotous weekend precipitated by gangs
of street demonstrators'who ral
lied to the defense -of young Shah
Mohammed Reza Fahlevi when
it appeared he was about to be
forced to leave the country.
The Premier’s police rouhded
up 70 retired and active Army
officers, some of whom were ac
cused of haranguing the mobs
that shouted for the “Shah or
death.”

SEOUL, Tuesday, March 3 (JP)
—Chinese Communist forces
called off an attempt to crack
the main Allied line at Little Gib
raltar oh the rain-soaked Korean
Western Front Monday after' one
third of . the Bed attack force was
killed or wounded in close-quar
ter battle. 1
The Eighth Army said the front
quieted after more than 200 Chi
nese were mowed down by U.S.,
French and Thai infantrymen and
British Commonwealth gunners.
The Reds partially overran one
U.S. unit, division officers report
ed from the front. American
troops drove back the Chinese in
90 minutes.
Mortars and artillery shells
were rained on the attacking force
Sunday night as the Reds struck
with a battalion, 750 men, at four
points along a three-mile front.
The Eighth Army did not dis-,
close the identity of the division
fighting in the Little Gibraltar
section, but French and Thai
troops have fought in the ,U.S.
2nd Division in past actions.
Two small Communist probes
and a company-sized attack were
parried in smaller clashes before
dawn Monday on the Central and
Eastern Fronts."
The air war was halted by low
hanging clouds and rain that
turned into snow squalls' all along
the 155-mile front. Most Air Force
planes were grounded.
The new U.S. Eighth Army
commander, Lt. Gen. Maxwell D.
Taylor in a-Seoul interview de
clared his troops were in the
strongest entrenched position of
any. aripy since World War I and
expressed belief the; Reds would
tire “sooner or later.”
Taylor .said the Allies would
win “no matter how long it
takes” but admitted “we are sit
ting, waiting, and it may take a
long time.”
The Reds gave the entrenched
Allied position at Little Gibraltar
a rough test after nightfall' Sun
day. Hand-to-hand combat raged
in the Allied bunker , and trench
positions before the Reds were
driven back.

of food a year.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Riot Over Oil, Issue
Until further devilopments it
appeared that the weekend trou
bles were a standoff —the Shah’s
departure from the country was
prevented or delayed, and Mos
sadegh, who at one stage was
chased out of his home _in his
pajamas by a mob, was still Pre
mier. But the big question still
was unsettled whether Mossa
degh or the 33-year-old Shah was
real master.
The whole outburst, it was be
lieved, arose from Mossadegh’s ef
forts to make himself complete
master of Iran before letting the
nation know that negotiations to
settle the oil nationalization is
§ue with Britain had failed again.
Counsellor Stoned
No one was injured in the anti-
American mob actions. But United
States Point Four offices and con
sular offices were closed through
out the city and embassy person
nel were ordered to stay off the
streets.
American houses on Roosevelt
-Avenue and cars driven .by the
embassy attache, Warren Silver,
administrative' counsellor Lau
rence C. Frank and. embassy sec
retary Betty White were .stoned.
A Mossadegh follower, was fa
tally stabbed in a fight.
His body was hoisted on the
shoulders of the Mossadegh mob
and parade to Majlis parliament
Square in 'front of the Parliament
Building. -

2 Russians
Wounded
By Burmese
RANGOON, Burma, March 2 (JP)
—Two members of the Russian
Embassy staff were shot and ser
iously wounded 'by a Burmese
sentry early today when they en
tered a restricted Army area.
The incident turned a new spot
light" on this Far Eastern, sector
where Burma is nervously trying
to get along with her Red China
neighbor and her Western friends.
But there was official silence on
all sides.
The. Russians were Constantin
M. Anikine, 36, embassy first sec
retary, and a Dr.. Barbizo, 33, also
attached to the embassy.
They drove in an embassy au
tomobile into the military area on
the eastern side' of Rangoon well
after, midnight, police authorities
said. The sentry three times or
dered them to halt. Then he fired
a burst from an automatic rifle.
Barbizo suffered wounds in his
face, neck and rijght arm. Anikine
was shot in the abdomen. .
At a hospital a stocky Russian
embassy official took up guard in
the corridor to their special ward.
He refused to let reporters speak'
to the-, wounded men and declined
to answer questions himself.

Vishinsky Condemns
Asian Policies of US
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., March 2 (/P)—Andrei Y.. Vishjnsky
lashed at the U.S. Republican party and its Asian policies today with
the direct charge that it is not pursuing a policy for the strengthen;-
ing of peace but rather the reverse. He said the Eisenhower adminis
tration wants to use the Asians as “cannon fodder.”
The Soviet foreign minister told the UN Political Committee
tliat the only way to end the Ko
rean conflict is to accept the Com
munist terms for an armistice.
U.S. Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge
Jr: promptly rejected Vishinsky’s
proposal.
In his brief, seven-minute reply
to Vishinsky’s one-hour and 33-
minute speech, Lodge did not re
fer specifically to Vishinsky’s at
tack on the Republican party.
Vishinsky’s blasts was in fact the
first Soviet assault in the UN on
the foreign policies of the new- Ei
senhower . administration.
■ Vishinsky took the floor to an
swer 10 charges laid down by
Lodge last week to the effect that
the Russians instigated the Ko
rean War and are sending arms
and equipment to the Communists.
He. said that Lodge doubtless does
not take his own words seriously
and added:
“The Republican Party, as has
been proved again and again, pur
sues not the policy of peace but
rather the reverge.”
He said the administration has
taken many measures designed to
I expand the war in the Far East.
