Changes in U S savings bonds designations and terms

In a New York Herald Tribune column, Jack Anderson argues the Soviet Union seeks to exploit Iran’s turmoil for regional dominance. Moscow backs revolutionaries while quietly undermining the regime, pressuring restraint to avoid a broader clash with the United States. The piece notes Gromyko’s cautious stance and the oil pipeline project affected by the revolution. It also covers Chrysler’s and Mobil’s political entanglements in Washington.
