Russia Warns Iran
On Baghdad Pact
LONDON, Oct. 12 VP)—The Soviet Union warned Iran
today her action in joining the Baghdad Pact endangers peace
in the Middle East. The United States and Iran both rejected
the Soviet view.
Acting swiftly on the heels of news that Iran was joining
Iraq, Turkey, Pakistan and Britain in the pro-Western Middle
East defense pact, Soviet Minister
V. M. Molotov summoned the
Iranian charge d'affaires in the
Soviet capital.
Molotov told the Iranian diplo
mat that by joining the pact Iran
was risking the Kremlin's en
mity. Molotov also reminded Iran
that the Soviet Union claims the
right to move troops into the
country if Iran violates the 1921
Iran-Soviet treaty. He said an
Iranian line-up with the Baghdad
Pact would "contradict" the 1921
treaty.
The U.S. State Department
hailed Iran's action as a step pro
moting peace and prosperity in
the Middle East and in no way
hostile or threatening to anyone.
The United States has indicated
she intends eventually to become
associated with the Baghdad
Pact.
In Tehran, Premier Hussein Ala
asserted the pact is not directed
against the Soviet Union or any
other country, and that Iran's re
lations with the Soviet Union
"are of the friendliest nature."
Ala described the pact as "purely
defensive."
Iran's Parliiment has yet to
ratify joining the treaty. Molo
tov's action, as reported by Mos ;
cow radio, appeared aimed at try
ing to influence the parliamentary
outcome. Ala, however, has al
ready dispatched official word to
'Baghdad of Iran's intentions .
Molotov told the Iranian diplo
mat the Baghdad Pact "meant
the formation of a military group
ing in the Near and Middle East
which is an instrument of certain
aggressive circles which are not
interested in the consolidation of
peace and international security."
The 1921 treaty was negotiated
when Russia stood in danger of
invasion by White Russian Guards
bent on overthrowing the revolti
ionary regime.
Defensemen
To Continue
Arms Race
PARIS, Oct. 12 (Al—Western
defense ministers and military
chiefs agreed today that their
joint defensive - buildup must con
tinue at its present tempo until
the Soviets back up smiles with
concrete deeds.
The ministers representing the
member nations of the North At
lantic Treaty Organization ended
a three-day review of the World
political and military situation
with the unanimous conviction,
according to a NATO spokesman,
that their present efforts must be
maintained until East-West ne
gotiations produce definite ac
tion.
Promises, and a polite new face,
from the Communists are not
enough to warrant a reduction in
the Free World's defense budgets,
they concluded.
In fact, the recent change in
Soviet tactics from grim hostility
to apparent geniality is due, they
agreed, to the unity and defen
sive strength of the Atlantic Al
liance.
The conclusion from this was
that this unity and strength
should be reinforced rather than
diluted as the West enters Im
portant negotiations with the So
viets at Geneva on the vital issue
of German reunificatiOn and Eu
ropean security.
Bids to Open
On Ohio Dams
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 12 .(/P)—
U.S. Army Engineers will open
bids Oct. 20 for a big new projeCt
that will replace three antiquated
dams on the Ohio River and speed
up boat traffic as much' as three
hours.
The 50-million-dollar dam pro
ject—biggest ever undertaken in
the upper Ohio Valley—will be
located below Newell, W. Va.
Target date for completion of the
dam and locks is June, 1959.
At the same time the Ohio Edi
son Co. said it has long range
plans for construction of a huge
power plant near the dam on the
Ohio side of the river. The com
pany said it may be some time
before the plans are put into
operation.
The company supplies power to
the cities of New Castle, Pa., Ak
ron, Youngstown and Springfield,
Ohio, from a plant at Toronto,
Ohio, which generates 175,000
kilowatts of electricity.

Group Abolishment
Voted by Legion
• MIAMI, Fla., Oct. 12 (I7 ,l )—The
American Legion today called on
Congress to abolish the United
States National Commission for
United Nations Educational, Sci
entific, and Cultural Organization.
Withdrawal of the commission
would emasculate American par
ticipation in the world group.
The commission hai appointed
100 members.
The measure was carried over
whelmingly in a voice vote at the
Legion's 37th annual convention.
Legion sources said abolishment
of the commission would deprive
UNESCO of some of America's
best educational, scientific and
cultural talent.
The U.S. government, however,
still would be represented offi
cially in UNESCO by govern
ment delegates.
International
Cooperation
May Be Hurt
UNITED NATIONS, N.R., Oct.
12 (W)—Poland's Juliusz Kat z-
Suchy warned today the budding
spirit of international cooperation
will be seriously hampered if
Poland loses its bid for the UN
Security Council.
U.S, Chief Delegate Henry Ca
bot Lodge Jr. Who is backing the
Philippines against Poland fo r
the seat held by Turkey, prompt
ly countered that Poland is not
fit for the Security Council. •
"Communist Poland is clearly
not a nation which has contribut
ed to international peace and se
curity within the meaning of the
Charter or which is in position to
do so," Lodge said in a statement
distributed after Katz-Suchy held
a news conference in the UN.
Katz-Suchy said Poland has all
the necessary qualifications and
represents Eastern Europe fa r
more than the Philippines. Un
der questioning, he said failure to
elect Poland would have an effect
on cooperation in general, would
harm the spirit of Geneva, and
would be strongly resented by the
Polish people.
These statements pointed u p
the battle raging between t'w o
Geneva partners, the United
States and the Soviet Union, on
behalf of their favorite candidates.
The Soviet Union is the only
' Communist country on the -coun
cil.
AFL Operators
Continue Strike
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 12 (A')—Defiant
AFL operators, ignoring orders
by Gov. Phil M. Donnelly and a
recommendation by their union
leaders, voted today at a stormy
meeting to continue a paralyzing
bus and streetcar strike.
Gov. Donnelly, who ordered
seizure of the company yesterday
a few hours after the strike be
gan, said at Jefferson City, he
would act "to protect the public."
The governor ordered state
Atty. Gen. John M. Dalton to
come here and take ~ whatever
legal steps are necessary under
the state utility antistrike
which provides stiff penalties.
Dalton planned to confer with
Daniel Rogers, state mediation
board chairman named as the
governor's agent to operate the
firm, before deciding what action
he would take.
