Mixed vocal reception accorded Prune Minister on visit to repre- sentative Canadian units overseas

B! D. l. B11111“ Canadian Press Stiff Writer

SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND. Aug. 24-(0? Cable) —The mixed vocal recetption of cheering and booing accorded Prime Minister Mackenzie King at a sports meet oi representative units of the Ca- nadian forces overseas Saturday provided the chief topic of discus- sion at officers‘ messes and on parade grounds today.

Long after Mr. King had left the scene to spend the weekend in the country with Prime Minister Churchill, the soldiers were laugh- lng mlschievously about the inc‘- dent, though none was anxious to admit he was among the ones who booed. Of those who claimed to have been in the stands and to

have understood the reason for the‘

mixed reception. the majority slid; "The gang all want more action."

Neither officers nor men who were asked what it was about, would permit use oi their names. Most officers summed it up as a "soldier-like lark" and of many commenting, only one was heard to accuse them of staging a. "poo.- show of discipline,"

What appeared to be a general vlcw on this matter oi discipline, was expressed in the words of one

ctiptaln who said: '_‘You,can tell

officers to forget politics in the army but you can't tell that toa sol- dier....these chaps are over berg fighting for democracy and the r‘gl't to boo is a democratic prin- ciple ...there's nothing in the M- my regulations to prevent soldiers from booing a civllian...."

Not Malicious

"As an indication the booing ivas not confdered “mallcious" one oi- ficer stressed the fact the men mix- ed thcir booing with "good-natured laughter."

Only a few hcurs before, advices were received frcm Paris that s. car full of Germans were inured in a trap set for them in the iris suburb oi Puteaw-the first chal- lenge to the German army to card-y out its threat of shooting hostages for such acts.

In s. statement regarding the dis- orders, De Brlnon said the five acts of railroad sabota occurred in suburbs. most of wh ch are in-

In the speech, his first Dilb- lic utterance since the historic conference with President Roosevelt in the Atlantic two weeks ago, iLwas implied that. Germany ls too involved upon the great plains of Russia to turn now to another sphere of war.

Mr. Churchill estimated that "perhaps 1.500.000, perhaps 2.- 000.000" Germans had fallen in the nine-week campaign and said that the invaders were re- taliating with literally "scores of thousands of executions" of Russian patriots.

Tension in Iran near to Breaking point

TEHERAN. Iran, Atlg. 23-(De~ layetll—(AP)—An ultimatum to the Iron government is expected from London today, the British Le. gntlon said, as tension over the continued presence of German specialists in this country grew near to the breaking pflilll.

Slulltly casing the urtivlty of the situation with respect to Soviet Russia, holvc-wr, the Iran armv was reported by Soviet sourcrs to have withdrawn l2 miles from the frontier in the Caucasus as t to- ken of good faith in the desire to avoid comlficating border inci- dents.

No similar withdrawal was re- ported, however, from the Iraq and Buluchistun borders, whence British troops might be expected should the dispute break into open

The Iran government is making every effort to nsstlre the defence or its independence, officials said. but they manifestly vrere making

However, Iran's latest reply t. (h: BriLlwli-Rllsriun demands fr: the expulsion of Germans was re- liitbly reported to ltuve been stand-pat statement that Iran a sovereign nation would dine‘ what foreigners to expo‘.

(British sources in London Sat- urdriv said Iran's reply was being studied. There were indications it hurl been found unsatisfactory.)

The Nazis objected to are cm- ployces of the government; in key services and industries, but Iran's attitude toward the British-Rus- sian demands is that only small- scale sabotage at the most. is pos- sible lf they are allowed to remain.
