Fanatic Wounds
Iranian Premier
Attending Mosque
TEHRAN, Iran, UP)—Premier
Hussein Ala was shot and wound
ed by a Moslem fanatic yesterday
in the Shah Mosque in central
Tehran. A spokesman said later,
after Ala was hospitalized, that
his condition was not serious.
Ala had removed his shoes, in
accordance with Moslem custom,
and started to walk across the
carpeted floor when the gunman
stepped up to him, said a few
words, and then fired.
The gunman was captured im
mediately by police and taken to
the military governor’s office. He
was identified as Mozaffar Ali
Zulghader, 32, a Moslem fanatic.
One witness said Ala held a
handkerchief to his head at a
point just above the ear as he was
taken away to the hospital.
The Premier, accompanied by
some of his cabinet, was attending
the mosque to mourn the death of
Mostafa Gashani, son of Ayatul
lah Kashani, the Moslem religious
leader who played a major part in
establishing Mohammed Mossa
degh as Premier and ending Brit
ish control of oil properties in
Iran. Ala wds instrumental in
ousting Mossadegh in August 1953.
Ala, a veteran of Iran’s diplo
matic service and a former am
bassador to the United States, was
named Premier last April 7 to
succeed Gen. Fazlollah Zahedi
when the general retired because
of ill health. Ala was then minis
ter of court to the Shah. He is
71 years old.

Bankers Will Let
Silver Dollars
Go On Jingling
FAIRBANKS—A movement to
remove silver dollars from circu
lation in Alaska has apparently
been abandoned, according to
banking officials in Fairbanks.
Some months ago bankers
throughout Alaska discussed the
situation and felt the expense of
shipping the heavy silver pieces
to the territory was no longer jus
tified.
Silver was first brought north
in place of paper one dollar bills
during the hey-day of gambling.
The large coins are always found
in areas where crap tables, rou
lette wheels and other games of
this nature are being run.
Since gambling was closed down
five years ago in Alaska, the sil
ver has continued to be shipped in
at a cost of about one cent for each
dollar to the territory’s banks.
One of Fairbanks’ two banks re
ports it is costing them $3,000 a
year to keep silver dollars in cir
culation there. Prime souvenirs
for summer tourists, they are car
ried back out of the country al
most as rapidly as they can be
shipped in.
Boosters of the tourist industry
are hopeful the silver dollars will
remain in . the Alaska economy.
Only a few of the Western states
have any number of them in cir
culation feeding out of Nevada,
where open gambling is in full
swing. Visitors there from other
states have seen relatively few of
the coins.
