Determined Reform Program For Iran

By PHIL NEWSOM LJPI Foreign News Analyst Seventeen million of Iran's total population of 21 million, live on the land by cultivating tiny plots or grazing livestock. Perhaps two million of them own the land they work, the others receiving from the great landowners seed, livestock and primitive tools and | in exchange pay back to the landowners four-fifths of all they raise. Occasionally for Iran’s restless masses there has been hope, only to be beaten back each time by corruption within the government, by the landowners, the Moslem mullahs resistant to change and by entrenched power. This week there once more was hope, sparked by the most determined reform program yet to be undertaken by Iran’s 43-year-old Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi. Ruling by decree, the shah ordered a nationwide referendum to vote on a six-point program which would end Iran’s landlord - self system, give workers a greater share of national income, provide “fraud-proof’ electoral laws and declare war on illiteracy. Women participated in the voting for the first time and the final count gave the shah a margin of victory of around 1,000 to 1. The same elements which had frustrated reform in the past, opposed the shah now. But supporting him were thousands of farmers and workers who trekked to Tehran to shout support for his program and “death to traitors.” Students who opposed the program as another government trick were attacked and driven from the university grounds. Police broke up an attempted three-day strike by religious leaders. Within the last year and a half the shah had distributed to 50,000 peasant families two million acres of private land. On the eve of the referendum,

he announced he was giving up more (han three million acres of royal land on the Caspian coast. The land reform law strictly limits the land to remain in the hands of the large owners and provides a unique method of compensation for lands taken from | them. In the past, landowners assured tax officials that they were making little profit from their land. As a means of determining land values, the government now is going back to the old tax records. Having failed before, time must pass before an assessment can be made of this new attempt to move Iran into the 20th century. But the shah has travelled a long road since extreme nationalist Premier Mohammed Mossadegh sent him packing in 1953. Uniform Inspection Held For Troop 61 Hubert Schmitt, Jr., Robert Cook and George Auer, members of the Deactur Rotary club, conducted a thorough, rigid uniform examination Tuesday evening of Boy Scout troop 61, following the troop’s regular weekly meeting. Troop 61 is sponsored by the Rotary club. General appearance, cleanliness, posture, neatness and completeness of uniforms and badges were highlights of the inspection. The Scouts all responded in proficient fashion to requests issued by the inspection team and necessary to conduct the inspection. All boys passed with high scores. This inspection is of many clubtroop activities planned for 1963. Steve Everhart, council representative of the Boy Scouts of America, was a guest at the meeting.

Deported Missionary Speaks Here Sunday K \ Rev. Edwin LeMaster One of four Methodist missionaries to Angola who was deportde last year by the Portuguese government, will speak at First Methodist Church, Decatur, Sunday, at 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. ■7116 Rev. Edwin LeMaster, 39, of Lexington, Ky., was deported by the Portuguese government after being accused of “activities subversive to the government.” Although no proof of the charges was ever made, he and the three other missionaries were imprisoned in Lisbon for 90 days before their deportation. Denial of the charges were made by the missionaries and efforts to get the Portuguese government to make public their charges and proof of those charges, are being made by the Methodist board of missions in New York. Rev. LeMaster has been a high school director (principal) and religious education teacher in the interior of Angola. Commissioned in 1952, his first assignment was at Quessua in the north central part of the country, where he became director of the William Taylor Institute, a boys’ elementary school and a co-educational secondary and teacher-training school. He was also appointed co-di-rector of religious education of the Angola Methodist conference, sharing his responsibilities with "m" Married and the father of a son, David Edwin, 6, and a daughter, Katherine Jean, 8, Rev. LeMaster, a native of Rush, Ky., spent most of his early life in that state and attended Asbury College and Asbury Theological Seminary in 1947. He was a pastor in the Kentucky Methodist conference about three years and returned to school in 1950 to do graduate work. He received a master of arts degree from Butler University, Indianapolis, in 1951 and spent a year studying in Portugal before going to Angola. A carry-in dinner will be served at noon in the church dining room with LeMaster as guest.

Future Factory To Be Pleasant Place To Work By WILLIAM P. GRUBER United Press International CHICAGO (UPI) — Tomorrow’s factory will be a pleasant place to work in and, at the same time, far more efficient than today’s operations. <0 It will be bright, clean, wellventilated, almost devoid of noise, with machines doing most of the hard work. This picture, sharply contrasting with some grimy, noisy industrial facilities of the present, emerged this week at the 14th Plant Engineering and Maintenance Show here. More than 20,000 plant executives attended the sls million exhibit which ended a four-day run today. Some 400 companies displayed more than 12,000 products designed to make factory operations more modern and less costly. Frank L. Whitney, president of Walter Kidde Constructors, Inc., predicted that by 1970 many factories will be operated almost entirely by remote control from some central point that could be 1,000 miles away. Some operations already have entered this stage, he said, citing computer-operated machines, oil refineries, electric generators and atomic energy plants. Hints of what the factory of tomorrow will be like could be gained by strolling through the big exposition hall of Chicago’s McCormick Place. One company showed wooden walls that couldn't burn because of a special chemical lacquer. There were movable walls for offices with built-in soundproofing, table-and-chair units that folded into the wall, battery-powered tools ranging in size to pneumatic drills and luminous ceilings for factories with butterflies and flowers as motifs. An electronic console, complete with television and warning systems, permits one person to guard several buildings at once or supervise operations inside. A huge lift truck picked up 1,800-pound rolls of paper with a suction device. Another firm showed an easily ■ transported sound-proofed room costing $1,980 that could be set in any part of a factory or even out-of-doors. It came complete with air-conditioning, heat, light, telephone, typewriter and desk, ready to be plugged in.

State Policeman Is Lions Club Speaker Automobile crash injury research was discussed with the Decatur Lions club Monday evening at the Decatur community center by Sgt. Bob Endres of the Indiana State Police. Sgt. Endres presented a recording with slides showing many accidents on Indiana highways, and the effectiveness of seat belts. He predicted that-by 1964 all new cars will be equipped with seat belts. There are presently 76 million vehicles on the U.S. highways, 75% of all fatal accidents occurring at a speed of 39 miles per hour, or faster. Each year 38-40 thousand people are killed on US. highways • All state police cars are equipped with safety belts. Less than 1% of cars In accidents catch fire or are submerged, and it is only very rarely that seat betls prevent an accident victim from es-

caping. Seat belts also reduce fatigue in driving and riding, and improve posture. Following the slides, a question and answer period was held. Sgt Endres pointed out that few motorists fasten their seat belts on short trips, but that most accidents happen near home, which means that short tnps are the times to be especially careful. Steve Everhart was a guest at the meeting. Lion Roy Price announced that the district convention would be held March 24 at Woodburn, the state convention Mgy 10-12 at French Lick, and the international convention at Miami Beach, Fla., June 19-22.
