Today he stated that the Unit e d States does not oppose the desire of Ira.n to control its own 011 resources - that country having nationalized the great oilfields of the Anglo-Persian Company. The Acheson declaration, made at a new ■ conference, was designed to answer angry Iranian talk -- that the U,S. is against the Iranian action. However, Dean Acheson declared strongly that our government 1a all for a negotiated aettlemenl. The U.S. view is that, If Iran assumes the owner1h1p of the Anglo-Persian o1lflel41, they 1hould have these -- operated by the Brltiah,the Iranians, themselves, " . being 1n no,. po1ition to do the technical job.

This tells of the shooting of the legendary Glubb Pa ha, the British Officer in the service of Xing Abdullah. He founded and commanded the 1 Arab Legion•. The word is that Glubb Pasha was shot and wounded by Emir Talal, the eldest son of ~1ng Abdullah. There ls no official confirmation of th11 report, but it goes like this: 'Last week Abdullah went on a visit of state to Turkey, and left Emir Tal&l 1n ch&rge of the government of Jordan. Then, a couple of daya after Abdullah's departure, it waa announced that lmlr Talal had stepped out, and turned over the ruling authority to his brother Waif. Wednesday of last week, the announcement was that lmlr Talal had gone to Syria for what were called - 'reasons of health'. All of which sounded ■1■ odd, and today the report in Jerusalem ls that the audden resignation and departure of lm1r Talal resulted fro ■ a quarrel QLVU r4sp - a with Glubb Pasha - in which the eldeai son of ~1ng ~ Abdullah shot the founder of the Arab Legion.
