Britain Tells ran: Bow or We Go Home

‘Shall Not Submit,’ Persia Angrily Replies

Not Outright Rejection

| Matin Daftari, a member of the Iranian oil board, said Iran’s reply would not constitute an outright rejection of the British pros posal. Meanwhile, U. 8. Roving Ame] bassador W. Averell Harriman had two half-hour audiences with the ‘Shah. ry The British ultimatum from Richard Stokes, chief British negotiator and his nation's lord privy seal, in a general statement of Britain's position.

Mr. Stokes‘said Britain was prepared to pull its remaining 150 oil experts from Iran almost immediately unless a speedy settlement was reached.

‘Big Blow’ Skirts Jamaica, Heads For Mexico Gulf

By United Press

MIAMI, Fla. Aug. 18—A ‘“dangerous”’ hurricane sideswiped the rum-making island of Jamaica

and roared across the Caribbean Sea with its 125-mile-an-hour winds today toward the Yucatan channel. The Miami weather bureau said the storm—now 550 miles south of Miami was moving westnorthwestward toward the, Gulf of Mexico at 20 mph. The Weather Bureau said it received a brief message shortly before noon from a weather observer in Kingston, Jamaica, which apparently was the first word from the British island since the storm hit last night. The message said winds of 80 to 90 miles an hour slammed the island. Hea rains also pounded Kingston. | However, Pan American Air-| ways received a message from its station at Montego Bay on the, nortn side or Ne MANA LAL sa, “Everything OK to land.” PAA had a clipper scheduled to land there today.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 The government gave millions of workers a free hand today to demand new wage boosts to match the rising cost of living The government's lid on wages first clamped on in the wageprice freeze of Jan. 26, was pried open vesterda when Economic Stabilizer ny A. Johnston ap proved the new cost-of-living yardstick for future pay increases In effect it permits an addi-

EIGTHTH ARMY HEADQUARTERS, Korea, Aug. 18 —Thousands .of United Nas

tions troops attacked Com-

munist positions along a 25-mile front today under cover of one of the biggest artillery bombardments of the Korean War. In suddenly intensified aerial warfare American Sabrejets and Russian - built MIG-15s battled twice over northwest Korea. One Red plane probably was destroyed and one was damaged. The infantrymef in the new offensive hacked out steady gains against fanatical Red resistance,

ito the accompaniment of screams

ing Allied air strikes over tha front lines and the thunder of the artillery. The attack was made in the general area of the: Hwachon ree servoir east of the old iron trie angle bastion. It was made to straighten the line and eliminate a bulge in which the enemy was able to overlook the United Na=tions defense line. Allied officers said the operation was “necessary militarily to straighten our lines and to prevent the enemy from observing the positions we currently hold.” Hundreds of Rounds Allied guns emplaced far behind the lines poured hundreds of rounds of fire on the ‘Communist positions. Under cover of their \fire, the United Nations troops ‘moved up slowly against an undetermined number of veteran Red troops. “It's been a long tinde since I saw anything like the show those artillery boys put on.” a United Nations soldier said. - Communist resistatice was ficially termed moderate to heavy along the 25-mile front In the first of two aerial. dogfights « over ~ Northwest ~ Korea, about 30+ enemy jets jumped a flight of 29 Sabrejets.
