•'!. After more than two years of
bitter argument over Iran's nat-
ionalisation of her oil fields and
seizure of the British-owned An-
glo-Iranian Oil Company, Britain
and Iran prepared to renew diplo-
matic relations. Prospects for bet-
ter relations and eventual settle-
ment of the problem which has ta-
ken Iranian oil off the world mar-
ket, were traceable to the downfall
of the rabidly anti-British Moham-
med Mossadegh, former premier
now on trial in Iran for treason.
Bad News
I. The Communists insisted that
Russia be seated at the Korean po-
litical conference as a "neutral,"
despite the equally firm insistence
by the United States that Russia
never was and never could be a
neutral and the warning that the
Communist stand was likely to de-
lay the conference "indefinitely
and perhaps forever." In the Ko-
rean prisoner interviews, the first

I 2. For a week the Russians jab-
bed at what they believed to be
the weakest point in plans for a
European Arm y—namely, the
French. The sudden Russian pro-
posal for a four-power foreign mi-
nisters' conference in Berlin seem-
ed obviously designed to weaken
further the French governmnt in
a moment of crisis. Next was the
suggestion from Ho Chi Minh,
Moscow-trained leader of the
Communist rebels in Indo-China,
that a peace could be arranged
there, too. The first result was to
create suspicion between the war-
weary Fiench at home and the an-
ti-Communist Indo-Chinese who
feared a sell-out.
The British had more trouble
in Africa. A parliamentary elec-
tion in the Suden dashed, momen-
tarily at least, their hopes that
the Suden would elect to stay in-
side the Commonwealth. Closely
linked with the Sudan is the East
African protectorate of Uganda
where murtnurings for indepen-
dence led the British to depose the
native king of the wealthy Bugan-
da tribe—a remarkable monarch
held in such esteem by his people
that even his umbilical is consider-
ed sacred. The dispute could upset
a huge hydro-electric project de-
signed to control waters of the
Nile, vital both to the Sudan and
Egypt. * 1
Houston Cabinet
Needs Reparing
HOUSTON, Dec. 5 A Ten-
nessee editor Friday said the log
cabin schoolhouse where Gen. Sant
Houston once taught school is in
mmediate danger of falling to
pieces and he asked the help of a
Texas newspaper to get funds for
the cabin's restoration.
The Houston Press immediately
took up the campaign and reported
Friday that only about $1,000 to
$2,00(1 would be needed to restore
the potentially great shrine near
Maryville, Ter.n.
The cabin is a tittle one-room
affair sitting on 4.!) acres of land.
Built in the 1790's, it was the
scene of General Houston's brief
career as a teacher before he en-
listed in the Army during the war
of 1812.

Licking In 1913

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 4 'URi—
Jane Wyman's broken marriage
makes it a clean sweep Friday ag-
ainst cupid. Cupid has been blasted
to a rousing defeat in the Holly-
wood glamour girl department.
The year 1953 was a flop for
Hollywood love life, and during
the past few weeks there's been a
number of screen stars shedding
mates and boy friends before thp
new year begins.
Miss Wy man's third husband,
bandleader Fred Karger, moved
out of her home this week and
friends blamed it on "career troub-
le."
"He's in great demand for par-
ties and works mostly at night,"
one pal explained. "This leaves her
home alone and she doesn't like
that. They don't see much of each
other."
His friends said Jane was "the
typical dominating movie queen
who's hard to get along with."
Karger said he didn't want a di-
vorce and would try to talk the
Oscar-winning acrtess into a re-
conciliation.
Pug-nosed Jane joins an impres-
sive list of cinema sirens who are
having marriage trouble as the
year draws to a close.
Lelie Caron, MGM's pixie star
now in New York, has told Holly-
woodites her marriage with Geor-
gie Hormel is strained. Guy Madi-
son says he'll file for divorce af-
ter wife Gail Russell's drunken
driving charge is aired in court.
Filmsters have known for years of
the cowboy star's fight to hold
the marriage together and help his
unhappy spouse.
Ida Lupino is back in town .after
resting in Phoenix from - her
breakup with Howard Duff. She
said she "did my best to make the
marriage work and I'm just fed
up."
Ava Gardner took off for Rome
after promising to end her ties
with Frankie Sinatra when she
comes back in'April. Eleanor Par-
ker and Julia Adams won recent
divorces and Susan Hayward has
a date with a judge.

ufacturer, was fined $5,000 and

however, the prson sentence would
be suspended and Phipps would be
placed on probation ,if the fine is
paid within (50 days.
