The Iranian Majlis—lower house
of Parliament—promptly backed up
the premier by giving him a unani
mous vote of confidence for his firm
stand.
-The Majlis had been called into
special session to hear Mossadegh’s
reasons for rejecting the Aug. 30
joint proposals of President Tru
man and British Prime Minister
Winston Churchill for settling the
Angio-Iranian oil dispute.
DEMANDS COMPENSATION
Mossadegh’s report was read to
the Majlis by Deputy Premier Bag
her Kazemi. In it, the premier
demanded:
1. The British-owned Anglo-Iran"
ian Oil Co. compensate Iran for
all losses incurred as result of a
I British “blockade’’ which has pre
vented Iran from selling its oil in
world markets and froze Iran’s
sterling assets in Britain.
2. The Anglo-Xranian Oil Co. pay
at once $137,200,000 It allegedly
owed Iran before the Iranian gov
ernment nationalized the com
pany’s Iranian properties last year.
Mossadegh gave his second de
mand a new twist by demanding
that the money be paid in dollars
rather than pounds sterling.
Britain denies she owes Iran any
such sum. Moreover, a payment
of this amount from Britain’s
dwindling pile of dollars would
shove the country toward bank-
I ruptcy.

action.
Promise of the manpower and

City To Get New Ordinances
The town ordinances came
in for a great deal of discus
sion at the meeting djf the
tqwn board last ijightt The
members a are in '
that the present ordinance
book is outdated and badly
in need of revamping to
bring it up to date.
The present book of ordinances
was compiled and edited in 1935,
but at that time many of the old
“horse and buggy days” ordinances
were left in the book.
“Os course it might be a good
idea toleave these horse and buggy
ordinances in in case the country
goes Republican in November,” one
of the non-members of the board
suggested, “we might go back to
those days, and have to provide for
Hoover carts.”
City attorney I. R. Williams
agreed that the revision should be
made and offered to make tentative
revisions and submit a rough draft
to the members of the board for
study.
The discussion was touched off
by a request by Auto Sales and
Service for permission to erect a
sign on their property. City Attor
ney Williams pointed out that there
was an ordinance on signs in the
books.
This ordinance. Section 28 of the
ordinances, reads:
“It shall be unlawful for any
person, firm or corporation to place
without written permission of the
Mayor or Chief of Police, any sign

Blanketed By
Flying Debris
BY LOUIS DEARBORN
Record Staff Writer
The crack Atlantic Coast
Line Champion, speeding
through Dunn at 75 miles an
hour, early this morning
struck a tractor-trailer, load
?d with rolls ci nylon, de
stroved the trailer, smash
ed five store fronts, and did
untold damage estimated to
run as -high as a quarter
million dollars.
So teriffic was the impact
that several 800-pound rolls
of nvlon were thrown for a
distance of two blocks, plate
glass window’s were smash
ed, a steel railroad control
box was smashed and two
parking meters were uproot
ed from the cement.
A 35-pound piece of steel landed
inside Lewis Studio and Camera
Shop, about 120 feet away, and a
steel railroad stop sign landed in
his doorway.
Hardly a store front in the lower
end of the block north of Cum
berland Street crossing, where the
accident occurred, escaped damage
from the flying debris.
DRIVER ESCAPES INJURY
Miraculously, the truck driver
escaped injury. The trailer was
completely demolished, along with
about 40 per cent of its expen
sive cargo, but the truck receiv-

however, landed a bh>CK?way Je
side the track.
Property damage resulting from
the wreck is believed to have been
greatest in the history of ,the town.
John Woodrow Kent, driver of
the 1951 GMC tractor and the
Fruehauf-Carter Stainless Steel
trader, owned by McLean Transfer
of Winston-Salem, told officers he
! had stopped for a red light a block
east of the Tracks, then, when
the light changed, pulled off fol
i low ing another truck owned by the
same company.
He saw the crossing blinker 102
| feet from the track, he said, and
the driver ahead blinked his clear
i ance lights, indicating that a tralfi
j was approaching.
However. Kent said, he kept go
! ing. fearing that if he applied his
j brakes at that time, he would find
I himself stalled on the tracks. The
tractor cleared the northbound
t tracks and the train hit the trailef
at about the center of the reap
| wheels.
A tachograph on the truck, brok
en at the impact, showed that tnev
j truck was travelling at 30 miles per”
hour in low range when the train)
! struck.
Engineer H. Arnold and Conduo
tor W. G. Smith, said the train
was going 75 miles per hour when
he struck the truck and the en
gineer asserted that he was blow
; ing his whistle.
The impact hurled the heavily
loaded trailer against the crossing
; signal and smashed it. throwing
