Earlier dispatches from Tehran said the new premier Maj.Gen. Fazollah had given the wily old Mossadegh 24 hours to surrender. Late broadcasts from Tehran said Zahedi had started to form a new cabinet and had messaged the shah again to come home at once. Shah Mohammed Reza Pah- levi is in Rome preparing to fly home tonight. Tehran radio said Wednesday Mossadegh's right hand man former foreign minister Hossein Fatemi had been torn to bits by mob violence in which 300 persons lost their lives.

Britain Hopes Will Reopen Oil Talks LONDON (AP)--British news- papers today express the hope that the royalist coup in Iran will pro- duce a government able to keep peace and willing to negotiate the Anglo-Iranian oil problem. There is some editorial apprehen- sion, however, that the triumph of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi's supporters--if consolidated -- may bring increased Soviet pressure on Iran. "Whatever" government may eventually emerge," says Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express, *, . . should be resolved to serve only the interests of the impover- ished masses of the people of Per- sia (Iran). Such a government would realize that Persia's chief need was reopening of the Abadan refinery." The Conservative Daily Tele: graph sp on verse reaction by the Russians = the coup. The Telegraph says: "If Gen. Zahedi succeeds in con- solidating 'his regime, the Com- munists' will likely be a more dangerous threat to the govern- Iran ment than any pro-Mossadegh™re- surgence."' The Liberal Manchester Guard- ian says the Tudeh party 'could probably cause trouble but without Russian backing it would be un- likely to achieve: anything; and there is no evidence at the moment that Russia wants to fish openly in troubled Persian waters." "Unless there is some such in- tervention the shah seems likely to be restored, with General Zahedi in power as an individual, but legitimist, 'strong man.'

Times-Gazette Staff Photo. Russia Fires Hell Bomb: Now Seek Arms Control MOSCOW L(AP)--The Russians announced today that they have exploded a test hydrogen bomb of 'great strength." They coupled their claim with a new call for international acceptance of a Rus- sian disarmament plan including a ban on atomic weapons. In Washington, the atomic en- ergy commission confirmed that it { had informatjon on the Soviet 'hell bomb" test, but implied that the United States had produced simi- lar reactions in fhe 1951 and 1952 tests at Eniwetok atoll. A statement by chairman Lewis L.

The latter is a term used by scientists to describe a hydrogen explosion. | pombis." "involved both fission Indicating the Russian blast ! lagged behind American achieye- ment, Strauss concluded: "Both the 1951 and 1952 Eniwetok test series included tests involving similar re- actions." This was the official Soviet an- nouncement, as reported in the Communist party newspaper Pravda and broadcast by the Mos- cow radio this morning to the Sov- iet people: "Recently in the Soviet Union, the explosion of a type of hydrogen bomb was carried out with experi- mental 'aim. As a result of the possession of the mighty power of thermonuclear fission in the hyd- rogen bomb, the explosion was of great strength. "The test showed the power of the hydrogen bomb is many times greater than the power of atomic The communique, which received only routine treatment in Pravda, 'said, Soviet possession of the dreaded H-bomb offered no cause for alarm among peoples of other countries. It said the Russian gov- ernment still favored international disarmament and a ban on weapons of mass destruction. Recalling that Prime Minister Malenkov told the Supreme Soviet (parliament) Aug. 8 that the U.S. no longer held a monopoly of the hydrogen bomb, the statement charged that Malenkov's remarks had been used abroad "to cause alarm, using it with the aim of pistensifying the armaments drive." The Soviet government con- | siders it necessary to declare there is not, and was not, any foundation for alarm," the communique con- tinued. The Russian disarmament plan! to which the Soviets referred today proposes a one-third reduction in conventional ayms by the Big Five --the U.S., Britain, France, Russia and China--as well as an outright and immediate ban on atomic and bacteriological weapons. The West has repeatedly rejected the Russian plan on the grounds that it would permit international inspectors to check on Soviet at- omic production only when and where the Kremlin decreed. The Soviets in turn have con- sistently turned down a Western plan for arms reduction, approved by an overwhelming majority of the United Nations, calling for step-by-step inspection and count- ing of arms throughout the world and iron-clad controls over atomic energy production with the aim of eventual prohibition of mass des- truction weapons.

(CP)--Two men were detained Wednesday night by provincial police as "'im- portant" witnesses: in suspected arson in connection with two forest fires at nearby Ste. Therese du Colombier. Police did not identify the men other than to say they were re- lated and in their 20s. One man was said to be the other's uncle. Police said the two men made statements which will be checked later. It was understood the state- ments were alibis. The men are at Forestville under guard of police of the Anglo Cana- dian Pulp and Paper Company .on the request of provincial police. Part of Forestville is owned by the company whose timber limits. in this area, 100 miles east of Que- bec, have borne the brunt of the main fire north of here. An inves- tigation will continue today. The Ste. Therese fire now has been confined in an area of about one square mile although constant surveillance is necessary because of its proximity to the village. The fire was first spotted Mon- day while crews of firefighters were battling the main blaze which began Aug. 7. The two outbreaks almost caused the entire village of Ste. Therese to be evacuated. Only prompt ac- tion on the part of fire fighters prevented the flames from spread- ing into the village. A combination of hard-working firefighters and co ol}, humid weather has partially stopped the advance of the main fire--six miles north of here at its nearest noint, "WHOSE PHOTOGRAPH 1S THIS?
