Acheson Blamed For Iran Oil Woes In Parliamentary Row
In Tehran a high Iranian official accused U S Secretary of State Dean Acheson of worsening Iran oil woes by backing British policy.

He urged the United States to stop backing British policy to help Iran’s near bankrupt economy. The embassy denied his claims and he said he had new information from Texas.
