Growing Hopes For

Successful Settlement 0f Iranian Oil Issue

'l'El-IRAN. July 22 -- (Reuters) .. Hopes of a ur.r.'ement in the Anglo-Iranian oil dispute appear- ed brighter tonight when the Iran- ian Oil Commission reported "suc- cesl is assured" after a meeting with United States envoy Avereli liarriman.

llarriman Saturday night pre- scnted the Commission with a set of proposals as a basis for a com- promise between the Iranian gov- ernment and British interests in the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.

Commission members said to- night "We are in the final stages of negotiations."

"If everything goes well at a further meeting. Mr. I-farriman can go home a satisfied man."

"The Associated Press quoted Deputy Premier I-losseln Fatlmi as saying that the Iranian govern- ment is "optimistic" about chances of re-openin- talks with Britain in an effort to get oil shipments liaried again from Abadan.

Commissio ” rs had given a satisfactory reply to the proposal and the reply was approved by special decree by the cabinet meet- ing today, they said.

The nature of the proposals is secret but they are reported to in- clude suggestions for a joint Brit- ish-Agnerican - Iranian marketing

org iaation.

0:; member of the commission said tonight's talks with Harri- man were "mainly concerned with steps to prevent a closedown of the Abadan refinery."

The American negotiator com- mented only that "we lnade.pre- gross" - the same reply he gave Saturday night.

An informed Iranian source said "we have given up no ground" in the na” lization scheme. communion members will meet with Premier Mosaadegh tomor-

row.

British representatives have been silent on the discussions. though it is presumed Harrlman has kept British Ambassador Sir Francis Shepherd fully informed.

I-larriman met Sir Francis today to reveal the contents of the pro- posals. an informed source re- ported. He said he would see the ambassador Isain tonlshi 01' '0' morrow to inform him of the pro- gress.

Meanwhile, police handed back a residence permit to Richard Sed- oon, Anglo-franian's chief (aple- ientative here. The permit had been withdrawn Friday.

ll. S. Will Give Spain Miliiary And Economic Aid

WASHINGTON. July 22 -(AP)- Substaniial economic and military aid is the price which General- lsslmo Franco has indicated he wants for American use of Span- ish sea and air bases. The United States is prepalred to pay the price.

Responlsble officials confi:med this today as new details were learned of the conference earlier this week between Franco and Admiral Forrest P. shemian of the American joint chiefs of staff.

At the same time it became known that the State Department has instructed embassies abroad to emphasize to foreign governments that the talks deal solely with military arrangements and do not imply American approval of the Franco regime.

The amount of American assist- ance which Franco will require has yet to be negotiated. In fact, the Spanish ruler did not specifically request aid in his meeting with Sherman.

Spain's economy has long been threadbare. Franco's army is re- garded by auihorliles here as so poorly equipped that it would be unable to make any effective show- ing in modern warfare. When he expressed concern to Sherman on these points as limiting possible co-operation by Spain in western defences, Franco was in fact slat- ing to the American government a price which it was fully prepared to accept as necessary and. in principal, reasonable.

U. N. Negoiialors

Confer Wiih lien. Iiidgiyay

TOKYO, July 23 - (Monday) .. 'AP) - Allied troops repulsed a light Communist probing attack lrl

- east-central Korea Sunday while

three United Nations negotiators conferred in Tokyo with Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway. supreme Al- lied commander. on the next move in temporarily-stalled armistice talks.

(Reuters News Agency reported that Rldgway said Sunday night in a radio interview that nothing had happened in the talks with the Communists to give rise to undue optimism for peace. He said his own attitude is one of "wait and see." 1

He added: "I would not attempt to guess" for what reason the Communists asked for the current recess in the talks. It was possible they had to communicate directly with Moscow for instructions, he said.

(The supreme commander said the South Korean army is a long way from the point where U.N troops could leave the situation safely in its hands and withdraw. as the Communists have demand- ed.)

Vice Admiral Charles Turner Joy. senior U. N. delegate. was reported to have received explicit instruc- tions from Rldgwsy on what steps to take if the Chinese-North Kor- ean delegation continues to in- sist on withdrawal of all foreign troops from Korea. There was no immediate indication what the in- strllctions may be.

Joy, accompanied by Rnar-ad- miral Arleigh Burke and Air Force Maj.-Gen. Laurance C. frralgie. was scheduled to return to Korea today.

The A r'lE'xt" Trice-lo-face meeting with the Reds, however. will not he held until Jilly 25. at the re- quest of the Communist delega- tion.

It is upon the issue of withdraw- al of troops that success or fail- ure of the cease-fire discussions lest.

The Communists have insisted

that the issue be placed on the

agenda of the cease-fire confer- ence at Kaeliong. The U. N. deleg- ation contends that this is a pol- ltlcnl matter, and therefore out of place at Kaesong.

The Communists requested the recess at an ultra-short Saturday meeting a few minutes "after Joy told them he thought enough items had been agreed upon to form an agenda. Joy wanted the delegations to go ahead to the big job of discussing terms for ending ihe bloody Korean conflict. now

No Cabinet

OTTAWA. July 22 -(CPI- In- dlcailons are that Prime Minister st. Laurent will make no lmaior changes in his cabinet for some time.

A shuffle of portfolios is some- time: made to broaden the exper- ience of cabinet ministers and one has been predicted frequently in unofficial circles for some months.

Finance Minister Abbott looms as a key figure In any new shuffle. He has been Minister of Finance since 1946 and has intimated priv- aiely that he would like to move to another department or to return to private law practice.

However, Prime Minister st. Laurent is said to have lndleaied that he would like to see Mr. Ab- bott remain in the Finance De- partment until two major prob- lems are settled.

The first involves a system of contributions to finance the llew Federal Old-Age Pensions Pro- gram: the second, the renewal of taxation agreements with the provinces.

There has been some speculation as to what may happen if and when Mr. Abbott moves from the Finance Department. Home ob- servers predict ll. switch that would send Mr. Abbott to ihe Justice De- pariment and Justice Minister Garson to Finance.

Carrying the shuffle further. some have predicted that lxiernal Af- fairs Minister Pearson will eveni- ually move to the Trade Depart-

, merit and Defence Minister Glax-

ion to External Affairs. Citizenship Minister Harris would move to De- fence. Trade Minister liowe would devote his full fin. to the Defence Production Department.

Mr. Abboii, Mr. Pearson. Mr. clarion and Mr. Harris are men- tioned as possible candidates for party leadership once Mr. st. Laur- ent retires.

The problems Mr. Bi. Laurent has tossed into Mr. Abbott's lap will have to be solved within the next few months.

Starting next January. the fed. eral Government will pay 040 a month to all 70 and over. regard. less of means. provided they have lived in Canada for at least so years. The government has decid- ed the program will be financed through iaxailon.

Churchill Says Britain Has lost Hard-Won Brsesiige

He declared:

”For the time being we have lost our rank among the nations. There is hardly any country in the world where it is not believed that you have only to kick an English man hard enough to make him evacuate. bolt or clear out. Egypt. Persia, Albania. the Arg- entine and Chile compete with each other in the insults and the humiliations they inflict upon us."
