One is a political science teacher, another is a law student and the youngest is a freshman at Butler Univer : sity. Mrs. Mary Hendricks, who was a childhood sweetheart of her husband, Secretary of State Charles Hendricks, a GOP gubernatorial candidate, believes “it is most important for the wife to keep her husband happy.” “A campaign is so strenuous, but anything that is worth while is worth working fdr,” she said.

Iran Continues As Barrier To Reds

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst At a White House luncheon, President Johnson lifted his glass in a toast to Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi of Iran. A-“ Reformist 20th century monarch,” said the President. The luncheon itself was a reminder of the importance which the United States continues to attach to the Shah's nation of 20 million persons standing as a barrier against communism in the Middle East and as an example of a backward land moving into the 20th century by peaceful evolution. Over the years since World War 11, the United States had spent well over a billion dollars to forward Iran’s economic development and develop its armed forces. Although on a declining scale, this aid continues. For the Shah, the presidential toast was an accolade earned the hard way, although not without antecedent. Iran’s entry into the modern world and the beginning «f the Pahlevi dynasty date only from 1926 when the present Shah’s father overthrew the Qajar dynasty and made himself absolute monarch. Abolished Women’s Veil The old Shah was a tough and colorful man who gained the enmity of Iran’s Moslem religious leaders by abolishing the veil for women. One story has it that whe an imam criticized the queen for not wearing a veil, the Shah ordered out a convoy of armored cars, went to the mosque and kicked the erring imam in the stomach. His son has exhibited similar toughness, surviving assassins’ bullets and attempted overthrow, persisting in his friendship to the West despite the wrath of Russia and in his steady drive to modernize Iran over the strong opposition of the Moslem imams and Iran’s big landowners. The comparatively fast turnover of Iranian premiers illustrates an impatient tendency to exercise the royal whim and Iranian rule could not be called a shining example .of democracy. Gave Own Land But since he began giving his own lands away for distribution among Iran’s 15 million landless peasants more than 10 years ago, he also has shown a determined single - mindedness

of purpose. One by one, the big landowners, some of them owning up to 150 villages and holding the peasants in virtual serfdom, have toppled.
