Iran's Underground Red Party Pushes End to Ban
The Tudeh Party in Iran sent an open letter to Premier Mossadegh demanding repeal of the ban on the party and expulsion of the American military mission advising Iran's army. It urges recognizing Communist China, rejecting foreign arms aid, freeing political prisoners, ending martial law in southern oil fields, and nationalizing the Bahrain Islands oil fields. It notes Bahrain’s status as a British protectorate with oil interests tied to Standard Oil and Texas Corp. The premier faces a demand from Anglo-Irench oil interests to arbitrate Iran's nationalization dispute, which Tehran views as a legal formality.

Legislative Roundup on Cigaret Tax and Highway Bills
California legislators debated a three-cent cigarettes tax to fund school aid while a separate plan to tax gasoline sales, raise truck taxes, and boost vehicle licenses faced delays. A $48 million school fund infusion was proposed, with the cigarette measure tied to the bill. Senate actions included liberalizing workmen compensation and extending unemployment on disability, with other debates on anti Communist measures and public education indoctrination. Inflation and spending forecasts show a modest surplus, and highway bond plans urge far larger funding, including a $40 million highway program.
