The martial law, limited to 'Teh- ran and imposed for two months, came amid a wave of rumors that new terrorism had taken the lives of Iranian officials. One rumor, un- confirmed here, was that Governor- General Manouchar Egbal of Azer- baijan province on the Soviet bor- der had been slain along with his provincial chief of police. Even as the proclamation was broadcast, the Iranian Senate completed action on .ap- proval for nationalization of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, focus of the Nationalist anger which had been génerating pub- lic tension in Iran, Presentation of the martial law proclamation to the Shah was the first action of the new cabinet formed by Hussein Ala, pro-West- weeks ago, It. announced that "all gangsters and opportunists who create dis- turbances will be punished." The broadcast proclamation asserted that "gangster elements have been ran." One rumor, quickly denied, was that an attempt had been made on the life of Mayor Mehdi Namdar and a parliamentary deputy named Jamal Imami. The martial law proclamation apparently was aimed at quelling any possible new acts such as the assassination March 7 of American- supported Premier Ali Razmara, and the attempted assassination yesterday of Dr. Abdul Zanganeh deputy chancellor. of Tehran Uni- versity, who was critically wounded. Ruriol Sails On Goodwill Voyage Here Paris, March 20--(CP)--President Vincent Auriol sails tonight to spend 11 days, make 30 speeches-- none of them about politics--and preside at 18 official meals in Canada and the United States. With him will go his wife, an entourage of 29 officials and others, and a huge load of steamer trunks and suitcases. Ten big packing cases of silver, champagnes and wines already have been shipped. The trip to see Prime Minis- ter St. Laurent and President Truman will cost France about $180,000. The National Assem- bly has not yet voted the money to pay the bill. The 66-year-old president, a veteran socialist politician, leaves his country at an awkward mo- ment. Strikes of gas, power and transport workers have thrown the capital into a crisis. Should the trouble result in the downfall of Premier Henri Queuille's week-old cabinet, Auriol must pick Queuille's successor, . Foreign Minister Robert Schu- man will leave with the party, but he has too much work here at home to make the whole trip. He returns home when Auriol goes to Canada for four days.

G. Saywell, chairman of the Bogrd of Education that a complete agreement has been reached by the Board with the secondary and elementary school teachers of the city on the matter of salary increase. Under the terms of the agree- ment, there will be an increase of $300 a year across the board for all teachers, both secondary and elementary, in addition to the normal annual increment of $200 a year, these two increases to be effective as of January 1, 1951. In addition, there will be a further increase of $200 across the board effective on September 1, 1951. The new agreement also calls 'for increased minimum and maximum salaries, and in arriving at these an equalization in the salaries of men and women teachers is achieved.

Thus these new increases repre- sent a jump of $76,000 in the burden which the Board will have to carry this year. No change will be made in the budget and mill rate for this year, but it was pointed out by Chairman Saywell that this added expenditure will mean a deficit of substantial propor- tions in the current year's financing.

The maximum for women teachers was raised by $800 and for the men teachers by $600 in each case, so that both men and wo- men teachers in future will be on a basis of equality. The maximum salaries fixed for sec- ondary school teachers were as follows: $4,700 a year for assistants, $4,800 a year for specialists, $4,900 a year for heads of de- TEACHERS (Continued on page 2) Announcement today by Munici- pal Affairs Minister George H. Dunbar of a change in policy res- pecting municipal grants paid to urban areas, which have annexed adjoining township areas, will have a direct and beneficial bearing on Oshawa's economy. Just what it will mean in dollars and cents to the corporation can not yet be de- termined. While admitting that it will probably mean quite a large amount, city officials are loath to make any estimates until they have more specific information, Grants paid to township areas are normally higher than those paid to cities. It has been a source of concern here whether all grants following annexation, would be reduced to the urban level. The announcement by Mr. Dunbar states that grants, paid to township areas, which are higher, will be continued for five years. In the next five years they will be reduced gradually to rural levels. Benefits Other Centres This announcement will affect not only Oshawa but other muni- cipalities such as Sarnia, Kingston and Ottawa, all of which have re- cently annexed rural areas, It will of course apply to Toronto if the Ontario Municipal Board approves a planned annexation of areas around the provincial capital, In the city thirty-three and a third per cent of the capital cost of a system of planned arterial roads in and about the city was paid for by grant by the Ontario govern- GRANT POLICY (Continued on page 2) Eisenhower Names 'Monty' Top Aide Paris, March 20--(AP)--Gen.
