Sug- Iranian Mobs Stone U.S. Diplomat, Cars TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Mobs shouting anti - American slogans stoned United States cars and homes today as riots continued in Iran's capital. Supporters of Premier Moham- med ared to be gaining the upper in the demonstrations which have - alternately assailed and defended the nationalist leader. Crowds hurled rocks at American homes, at the U. S. embassy's ad- ministrative counselor, Laurence C. Frank, and at cars driven by em- bassy employees, but no one was urt. One Iranian student was stabbed to death in a fight between Mos- sadegh supporters and members of the outlawed Communist Tudeh party trying to join a' demonstra- tion backing the premier. The enraged mob carried the body ef the student -- a Mossa- degh follower -- to the Parliament Square and paraded it above the crowd, which swelled to an estim- ated 8,000 persons. 'The crowd finally became so threatening that police dispersed it by shooting into the air and firing tear gas bursts. At the "anti-American outbreak, consular offices in thé city were elosed and embassy personnel or- dered to keep off the streets. Mossadegh, meanwhile, mpved to re-establish his hold on the gov- ernment's reins after the mob at- tack on his home Saturday which Russian embassy staff early today kwhen they ignored' his halt order at an army protected area. : The Russians were Constantin M. Anikine, 36, embassy first secre- tary, and a Dr. Barbizo, 33, also] a mémber of the embassy staff. | . Police said the Russians' drove | in an embassy automobile into the military area on the eastern side of the capital well after midnight. The sentry ordered them to stop sent him dashing in. pajamas for the traditional sanctuary of the Parliament building. The government , arrested 70 army officers -- 65 retired and five on the active list -- and ac- cused them of inciting the demon- strators against the government, Mossadegh also fired his army chief of staff, Gen. Mahmud Ba- harmast, accusing him of not act- ing promptly to check the anti- government rioters. These continued today -- an anti- Mossadegh mob raided the head- quarters of the pro-Mossadegh Iran party and' smashed furniture and windows -- but generally today's demonstrations were in support of the premier. Replacing the week-end cry of "Death omg the shah," the mass outpouring of pro-Mossadegh dem- onstrators around the Parliament building today screamed "Death or Mossadegh"--the same battle cry which has helped avert pre- vious threats to the premier's hold on the government reins. The attack on Mossadegh's home and subsequent demonstrations erupted after an announcement that Shah Mohammed Reza Pah- levi, with whom the premier has been on the outs lately, was about to leave the country. At the demonstration, the ruler said he had planned to go only for his health but was cancelling the trip. three times. Then he fired a burst from an automatic gun. Anikine was shot in the abdomen. on his face, nec ious condition. Whitby Man Dies &rom Crash Injury 4 An employee of the Oshawa Rail- way Company since August, 1950, Lloyd A.

Churchill, asked if there is any likelihood of such a meeting, re- plied: "Speaking for myself apd Her Majesty's government, I should be quite ready at any time to meet President Eisenhower and Marshal Stalin on the basis outlined by President Eisenhower if suitable arrangements could be made." Victims eight power units crashed into the lower part of the building about | an hour after the fire started. the machinery. Other sections of the walls were in danger of falling. Besides the three units buried under roof rubble, a fourth nearby was made_useless by the flames. The four affected units are at the east-end of the - big station, beside the transformer which handles the power generated by the whole dam. For that reason the entire capacity of the station is cut off. Hydro officials said it may be days before temporary cables can be. installed to carry power from the four remaining generator units into a power pool supplying south- ern Ontario. Firemen donned gas masks to penetrate the maze of twisted steel and concrete. Men from the power station were joined by vol- unteers from this village and the Ottawa fire department, the RCAF and National Research Council fire brigades at Arnprior, 12 miles west. t of the plant which supplies ntario centres. PUC officials in Oshawa said at noon that no curtailment in service to the city was anticie pated following the disastrous fire at Chats Falls William H, Gibbie, PUC ace countant, said the power from the falls was fed into the entire southern Ontario system and consequently it would not af- fect one particular area. If it was necessary steam: plants in Toronto could be brought into action to compensate for the Joss of the power owing to the re. "As far as we can see right now there will not be any cur- tailment of power in Oshawa," he stated. % Smoke and flames were visible as far away as Arnprior. Ontario hydro officials launched an investigation into the damage to .the $20,000,000 power installa- tion. James Robertson, security officer, said nothing indicates the fire was set deliberately. » Four people were working in the huge plant when the fire broke . out. One man who declined to give his name said: "All hell broke loose. Fortunate- ly nobody was hurt. There wasn't a thing anybody could do about stopping the fire. A couple of the guys shut off what equipment they could and it was too late to do anything about it. The flames were right out in the open -- we couldn't cut them off at all."
