Fatemi was rushed to a hospital by troops who rescued him form the mob. . - • About 200 persons attacked the foreign minister, a bitter enemy of the Shah, as he was being taken from military headquarters to prison by outnumbered guards following his arrest. The mob shouted "death to this traitor" and set on him with knives. An army major caught up with Fatemi in the garden of his suburban hideout after an eight-mouth manhunt. Fatemi surrendered meekly_ to. the officer who forced him at pistol point to shout "long live the Shah." Fatemi, disguised in a long black beard, appeared startled when military police entered the garden while he was handling a large flower pot. “Get ready to move,” Major Ahmed Mowlavi, officer in charge, said. “Your time is up.” Mowlavi said Fatemi, one of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi’s most bitter enemies, was so frightened that his trembling legs would not support him and he sagged to the ground. —Fatemi apparently had been living in one of two rooms in the garden, located in a narrow out-of-the-way place almost 10 miles from the heart of the city, since escaping an enraged mob last August when supporters of the Shah overthrew the Mossadegh regime. -. Mossadegh fled from- his burning residence to take refuge in the home of a friend. He was tricked later into answering a telephone call that led to his arrest . In the excitement it was erroneously reported that the mob which brought the popular Shah back from brief exile in Beirut and Rome had torn Fateto pieces. v But Fatemi, 36, eluded the crowd and managed to avoid detection until he was spotted this week by a security officer, Capt. Mabibillah Lajevand.

The study indicated that wheat growers gross income-might drop as much as 27 per cent underthe administration’s proposed program of flexible and lower price supports and as much as 12 per cent if the present program of rigid high supports is continued. The study, assumes that in either case, government production controls would be used to slash plantings to 55 million acres to hp)d down surpluses. Congress last year pased special legislation allowing a 1954-crap allotment of 62 million acres. A department official made available a copy of the study to a reporter after the administration wheat plan, was attacked by Republican. and Democratic leaders of the house agriculture committee Friday. Chairman Clifford R-» Hope RKan. told undersecretary of agriculture 'frue D. Morse that the flexible plan has “no advantages” for wheat. Hope favors a twoprice plan for wheat in preference to either the present program or the administration plan. Most farm congressmen expect congress- to exteiid present high supports, or something close to it. "... The dpeartment study assumed that wheat farmers this year would produce 9-7> million bushels and the support price ‘Would be computed at 32.23 a bushel. Assuming growers received prices averaging the support rate, they would mean a gross income of adopt $2,170,000,000. Actually, market prices have been running beloW the support level.

Dulles Makes Appeal To Latin Americas Appeals For Unity In Fight On Reds /CARACAS, Venezuela UP — Secretary of State John Foster Dulles appealed to Latin American countries today to unite behind a warning to "evil and menacing" communism to stay out of the Western hemisphere. Dulles made his appeal In a final statement Jiefoie the delegates to the 20th Inter-American Conference started voting on his anti - communism resolution. He said he would fight any major amendment which might "detract from the clear and forthright statement we believe we should give.” The purpose of the United States resolution, providing for joint action against the encroachment of communism, is to “save America from as evil and as menacing a danger as it has ever had to face." Several delegations had wanted to changethe” Dulles resolution, partly to safeguard against intervention in the internal affairs of any American republic. Before departing for Washington■ Dulles plans a final plea for unanimous approval of the anti-Com-munist plan. He would like to take home fult support for a "declara-tion-of Caracas’ international Communism to keep hands off the Western Hemisphere. The project ran into trouble during committee debates because of such outdated anti-American slogans as “intervention” and “Yankee Imperialism," which linger in some Latip minds as a worse threat than Communism. Dulles plans to depart for Washington immediately following the vote on his project. The Caracas conference may last two more weeks.

Reds In Two Attacks Today In Indochina Strategic Roads, / Rails Slashed In Attacks By Reds HANOI, Indochina UP — Communist forces hit French Union units and installations on two Indochina fronts today, slashing strategic roads and rails near Hanoi and attacking the airport at Dien Bien Ph uto the west. Daring Red commandoes damaged bridges on the highway between Hanoi and Haiphong, port of entry for American supplies, and stalled rail traffic on the HanoiHaiphong line by blowing up a train. Battling flared up around, pien Bien Phu, French stronghold in northwest Viet Nam, where sneak raiders slipped into the airport supply sections. The French command also reported that Red rebels were building up 'an assault force almost “nose to nose” with the outpost's defenders. French spokesmen, who described the Hanoi -— Haiphong Railway as their “main Red River delta artery,” said several bridges were damaged. Traffic was resumed on the road but the Hanoi-Haiphong railway was still out of commission because the Reds had torn up hundreds of yards of track in a daylight raid. The train blown up by the rebels was carrying American supplfft* to Hanoi for distribution to French Union forces. French spokesmen said several persons aboard the blown-up train were killed or injured in the bold Communist move. It was not known immediately whether any of the casualties were Americans. The commandos mined a 54-mile stretch of track in five places. FrenciLauthorlties said the doomed train was blown off the track at Dindha, 15 miles east of Hanoi. The commandos also mined the highway connecting the two cities and held up traffic for several hours. Damage to the rail lines was more severe, however, and all train movements were halted. French sources said the raiders were the same type of coolie troops or conscripts which had made sudden attacks on airfields where American technicians were stationed. While the French and loyal Indochinese defenders suffered this setback in Viet Nam, authorities reported that powerful French Union forces had mounted a major counter offensive in neighboring Laos against Communist invaders of King Sisavong Vong’s tiny kingdom. The French announcement failed to disclose details of the counteroffensive but called it a “powerful drive" which had scored “satisfactoiy results.”
