declined to comment, reliable sources said the alert orders went to a division in the northern province of Azerbaijan and to-an- other stationed near Kerman- Shah, on the central western frontier between Iran and~her Arab neighbor. : _Army, navy and air forces around Abadan — site of the world's largest oil refinery—were put on a full alert Wednesday after reports that Iraq was mass- ing troops across the @earby Shatt-al-Arab estuary, the boun- dary at that point between the two countries and the waterway connecting the Western-operated refinery “with the Persian Gulf. Reports from Abadan said the situation was quiet all along the frontier.

The Russians rushed to Iraq’s defence against Western - allied Iran. A Moscow radio commenta- tor accused the Iranian, govern- ment of embarking ‘‘on an ad- \venturist path in an attempt to distract the attention of the Iran-) ians from their disastrous (eco- nomic) situation.”

The broadcast charged that | “Tranian newspapers have delib- erately raised a hue and cry jaround the frontier disputes ;which can and must be settled | through, talks\ and have created | a tense atmosphere.”

| Iranian sources have expressed | fear that Iraqi Premier Kassem, with.

Iran maintains that the boun- dary between the two countries, established in 1938, is the middle of the Shatt-al-Arab, the broad estuary formed by the union of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. It connects the Persian Gulf with Iraq’s river-seaport, Basra.

After mass they return to the lodge itself for less religious fes- 'tivities, beginning with the reveil- |lon — Christmas dinner beginning lat 2 A.M., a tradition which dates |back to the earliest French set- tlement in Canada.

As well as organized club ac tivities like this, many skiing families or groups of skiing friends — who have their own cottages and chalets in the Laur- entians — have begun.to spend Christmas in them.

They attend mass at the near- est village church, perhaps going there on skis, holding a reveillon afterward and then begin a round of visiting back and forth.

WASHINGTON (‘(AP)—A four- stage rocket carrying a 48-pound payload was fired 560 miles above the Atlantic Ocean by Canadian and American scientists Tuesday in a new study of galactic noise, the strange radio signals given off by the stars.

The apparently successful .ex- periment also provided a test of the X-248, a new solid-fuel rocket engine which is comparatively in- expensive. ‘

The Canadian and U.S. scien- tists who teamed-up. on the shot hope the study of Celestial radio signals eventually will help man to improve his communications and aid navigation. ee

The rocket, named the Javelin, measured 48 feet and weighed 7,000 pounds on takeoff from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration station at Wallops Island, Va.
