Plane Strafed Kaesong By Accident On Monday Ridgway Admits to Reds Tokyo (AP)--The United Nations command admitted DOLLAR CRISIS! MAY UNSEAT IRAN REGIME Tehran (AP) -- "Britain's eco- nomic pressure in the oil nationali- sation dispute pushed the black- market dollar rate up 20 per cent today, amid talk of an Iranian fin- ancial crisis. The spurt in the dollar rate came as the result of a British Treasury announcement restricting the use of Iranian - held sterling and stopping the conversion of Iran's pounds into dollars. The British financial squeeze brought trouble for Premier Mo- hammed Mossadegh, who already faced a growing revolt in Parlia- ment over his ultimatum to Britain to reopen talks on the nationaliza- tion of Anglo - Iranian Oil Com- pany holdings. He has told Britain to resume talks in two weeks or have their technicians ousted from Iran. The British answer, apparently aimed at unseating Nationalist Mos- sadegh, was to cut off Iran's dol- lar supplies, stop her transactions in sterling, end her right to con- vert sterling into dollars, and halt the export of scarce goods from Britain to Iran. The first reaction here was a jump in the black market dollar DOLLAR CRISIS (Continued on page 2) tonight that one ofits planes zone by mistake "yesterday. plane raked the site of the suspended Korean armistice talks before dawn Monday.

The y of State's office has Sanitation Falls Short ® Trailer Camp Operator Asks for Concessions To Continue Operation Pointing out that he did not in- tend to spend money unless he got something out of it, W. Benjamin Corson, a trailer camp operator of 419 King Street West, made an unsuccessful appeal to the City Council last night. He pleaded that regulations enforced by the Board of Health for the running of a trail- NET PAID CIRCULATION The Times-Gazette Average Per issue for AUGUST 10,019 | er camp were completely outside his power and he asked the council if it could make special provisions in his case. The Council 'adopted a motion from Ald. Evelyn Bateman that no action should be taken and that it should abide by the Board of Health 'regulations. In his one-man deputation to the Council, Mr. Corson outlined some of the problems he faced in run- inng his camp. The regulations en- compassed more than he was "fit to do" and would cost more for various installations than 'he would ever get out of the camp. If the needs were a little milder then he would be able to do something about complying with them, "For' one thing the Board of Health want a septic tank put in," said Mr. Corson. His camp was on a hil! above a school and with any informed the City Council that it regrets that only a slowdown will be possible. The office promises the Council a more definite itinerary with all pos- sible details next week.. After reading the letter at last night's meeting of the City Council, Mayor Michael Starr said he guessed the slow down would be to about 20 m.p.h. "If I was in condition I might be able to run alongside to de- liver a welcoming speech," said Oshawa Council to Fight Telephone Company's Bid To Raise Service Rates to oppose an application made to keep up." Announcing that it was doing its best to stabilize the rising cost of living, Oshawa City Council last night decided by The Bell Telephone Com- pany to increase its charges. Ald. J. Wesley Powers describ- ed the proposed increase as part of the "vicious circlé of grabbing more and more and letting the other fellow fight the telephone company announéing that it had made application to the Board of Transport Commissioners for an increase in its tariffs to be- come effective on October 1. The letter announced where ohjecun should be made. i think we should oppose this in- crease", * said Ald. Powers. "The telephone company had a tem- porary increase--now it looks per- manent--only a short time ago and now it wants another. For ghe ben- efit of the citizens of Oshawa I think we should oppose any increase whatever." His motion to file a protest was seconded by Ald. Cephas Gay. Ald. Evelyn Bateman was the sole supporter of any increase. Every- thing else had risen in price, she said. The company treated its em- ployees very well and its gosts had sky-rocketed yet its rates had not risen much. It was natural, perhaps, to oppose any increase but in view of the rising costs she did not see how the telephone company's re- quest could be refused. The reason the company wanted more money was for the installation of extra facilities, reported Ald. William E. Noble. If it was a private company it would put out more stock, but Bell Telephone did not want to do that. Why should the present subscribers pay to put up more plant to make more profit for the company. Bell Telephone had already received a sizeable increase in prices and he had not yet heard that it was going bankrupt. "The more we oppose any increase the better it is for our own bene- fit," pointed out Ald. Powers. It was decided to oppose the application.

CONGRESS CRITICIZES GOVERNMENT Halifax, (CP) -- The Dominion's high cost of living will be a hot topic again today as The Trades and Labor Congress of Canada swings into the stride of its annual convention. The Congress expressed 'alarm' yesterday at Prime Minister St. Laurent's recent statement that there would be no price controls at the present time and rapped the Government for its 'lack of interest" in the welfare of Canada and in not putting Federal price- rent controls into effect.

Emergency Proclaimed In Russ Zone Berlin (AP) -- The anti - Com- munist West Berlin newspaper Telegraf claims today that the city of Weimar in the Russian zone had been placed under a state of emergency after 18 persons, mostly women and girls, had been attacked and slain by Soviet oc- cupation troops. The Telegraf's story, datelined Weimar, was not confirmed. The newspapef says that '"'eye- witness accounts' placed the blame for the slayings on Soviet Mongolian troops belong to punish- ment companies stationed near Weimar.

The conditions will be that aid- seekers adopt sound anti-inflation programs to put their currencies on a stable basis, and set up pro- grams to relax or remove trade- hampering restrictions in accord with fund aims. Ivar Rooth of Sweden, the fund's new managing director, made the policy public at the sixth annual meeting of the 50-country fund and its financial twin, the World Bank. PEEP AT SOVIET ZONE Luebeck, Germany (Reuters) -- vacationists at the Baltic resort of Travemuende, near the Soviet zone border, may peep at the Red zone for 20 pfennigs (five cents).

Corse, when he appeared before the council last night accompanied by fellow union member John Cal- lison, The two men brought with them the agreement between the Council and the civic workers un- fon which the Council last night decided to sign, Despite eloquent appeals by Mayor Michael Starr and Ald.

The facts concerning the fire-fighters case, delayed while the firemen await the outcome of arbitration ocon- cerning police pay, will be eonsi- dered by the Council at its next meeting. AGREEMENT READY Mr. Corse drew the Council's at- tention to the fact that the civie employees had not yet received their increase in the cost of living bonus. The union thought, when it agreed to accept & lower increase than the one it wanted, that the increase would come into effect immediately. That was part--gnd an important part--of the union's idea of accepting the increase at the end of June. The agreement to be signed was all ready and would be in effect, when signed, for the rest of the year at the agreed- upon increase. "We agreed to take the cost of living increase as offered from the end of May to the end of Nov- ember so that there would be no delay in this matter but we might as well have forgotten about all that," compained Mr, Corse.

On the western front, the Come munists surprisingly broke off ate tacks they started a week ago. Red truck traffic in North Korea dimished Monday night after two weeks of heavy movement. In that time Allied warplanes pounded Communist vehicles mercilessly and scored some of the highest damage - and - destruction figures of the war, The Allied attacks in the East were in the jagged mountains north and northeast of the Hwachon Re- servoir and north of the Reds' old punchbowl assembly area near the Sea of Japan coast.

How to deal with anti - French independence movements in Mor- occo and Indo-China (both strate- gic spots in the fight against Com- munism) ? Morrison was first to visit Ache- son.
