Soviets Use Propaganda to Target Iran Front
Tehran reports reveal a renewed Soviet propaganda push against Iran led by the Free Azerbaijan radio operating from inside the USSR. The broadcasts, about ten weeks old, urge revolt, link US interference to Iran’s economic woes, claim the army is an American stooge, depict the Shah under American influence, and call Iran’s government corrupt enough to topple. Washington concerns rise as an aid mission may be considered.

Parts of Ober law like others in Md for years
Baltimore April 20 Hammond says parts of the anti subversive Ober law mirror Maryland sedition laws since the Civil War era. He calls the 1949 legislation a psychological black on Communism. Enforcement rests with a special assistant AG, but actual action depends on the people. He notes the law targets advocacy or acts of overthrow not thoughts. Few cases likely to be brought for other law violations.
