Atlanta Air National Guard unit.
Britain and Iran Resume
Diplomatic Relations
Broken by Mossadegh
TEHRAN, Iran, UR—A spokes
man for Premier Fazollah Zahe
di’s government announced Satur
day the resumption of diplomatic
relations with Britain.
The move, forecast earlier by
informed Iranian sources, came
despite strong internal opposition,
particularly on the part of Aya
tullah Kashani, powerful Moslem
religious leader.
Relations between 'the two na
tions were broken off 13 months
ago by former Premier Moham
med Mossadegh as a result of the
dispute over Iranian nationaliza
tion of properties of the (British
controlled Anglo-Iranian Oil Co.
Mossadegh, now being tried by
an Iranian army court martial on
treason charges, was ousted last
August in a pro-Royalist coup.

fighting apparatus, including a
Jeep pumper unit and trailer with

this fall through the efforts of

Civil Defense in the Territory.
Volunteer firemen, under the
direction of local Civil Defense
director Harold Jacobson are or
ganized, and a Fireman’s Ball in
the new community building is

With the annual reindeer coral
ling and butchering completed, a
surplus of reindeer is available in
Kotzebue for the first time in
years. The Escholtz Bay Govern
ment herd numbered between
4500 and 4600 deer this fall.
Loans were made to qualified
reindeer men including Lawrence
Gray and George Keats, as part
ners; Paul Hadley of Buckland re
ceived a loan of 825 deer and
Shields Downey got 830 on a loan
basis.
Charlie Clark’s herd shows an
increase, numbering 1,387 on the
fall count against the 853 head
loaned to him in the fall of 1951.
The herd is oh range out of Deer
ing.
Ross Stalker’s herd at Noatak
also showed an increase this fall,
a count of 1,070 against 824 last
year. Constant herding has been
essential this fall and at the pre
sent time due to the great num
bers of caribou going through the
country. Reindeer follow a cari
bou migration unless restrained.
This herd still has some sled deer
which are rapidly disappearing
from the reindeer herds of the
Arctic.
