WASHINGTON, March 13.—World
tension mounted Wednesday (last)
night as the United States awaited
Russia’s explanation of her troop
movements into Iran and Moscow
launched a new war of nerves in the
Middle East.
United States officials MADE NO
SECRET of the situations being
grave. They considered the reported
movement of three Russian combat
columns into Iran a POTENTIAL
THREAT TO PEACE, fearing Russia
might be building up a threat to Tur-
key anti cil-rich Iraq as well as Iran.

tration, spoke in Temple and said
that the administration plans to in-
crease he 500-bed facility in McKin-
ney to 1,000 scon, and hoped to open
Ashburn by April 1.
He inspected' McCloskey General
Hospital and said that “It will go a
long way toward solving our pressing
and urgent hospital problem. It has
housing facilities for doctors and nur-
ses, something we are going to have
to build at the Ashburn Hospital at
MsKinney.”
Col. Lamphier said that the VA is
having plenty of problems. The Vet-
erans Administration today, barely
six months old, is one which we are
building now to care for sixteen mil-
lion veterans coming out of this war.
The great bulk of work he says is
for veterans wanting help on loans
for hames1 or businesses, on-the-job
training or educational benefits.

BOMBAY, India, March 10.—In a
setting of fabulous Oriental splendor,
the Aga Khan seated himself Sunday
on a specially constructed scale before
60,000 of his followers and watched
solemnly while his weight was match-
ed, pound for pound, in diamonds.
He weighed 243 1-2 pounds.
With legendary pageantry quarts of
industrial diamonds and handsful of
glittering gem stones were deposited
upon the scales until there were 243
1-2 pounds of them, balancing the
weight of the spiritual leader of the
Ismaili Moslems. From his gold-bro-
caded chair on the scales the Aga
Khan bestowed benign salaams and
blessings.
Biggest diamond of the lot was a
sparkling thirty two-carat polished
blue gem which the owner valued at
$200,000. The diamonds will be bought
mostly by princes and rajahs and the
Aga Khan receives the cash value—•
roughly $2,200,000—to be used for Is-
maili welfare and for benevolences
among the poor.
First Weighing in Diamonds.
The ceremony, honoring his sixtieth
year as the head of the sect, was fi-
nanced by contributions of the Aga
Khan’s followers.
Under a sweltering sun, against a
backdrop of gaily colored turbans,
fezzes, saris and other Oriental garb,
much of it brilliantly bejeweled, the
ceremony got under way late in the
afternoon. It was believed to be WITH
OUT PARALLEL IN HISTORY. Ru-
lers and moguls—and ten years ago
the Aga Khan himself—have been
weighed in gold, but his followers av-
erred this was the FIRST TIME any-
one had been WEIGHED IN DIA-
MONDS.
The great Brabourne Stadium, a
stone’s throw from the Arabian Sea,
was filled by princes and rajahs, rich
and poor, all turned out to demons-
trate devotion to the man they revere
as a lineal descendant of Fatima,
daughter of Mohammed, and as a LIV-
ING EMBODIMENT OF THE Diety.
Wears Brocaded Tunic.
The Aga Khan wore a long, silver-
brocadad tunic with high, tight-fitting
collar, and a gold brocaded green silk
turban. Majestically he paraded to the
dais at the head of a procession of
colorfully arrayed priests and follow-
ers, shaded all the way by a green
silk umbrella, an Indian
royalty.
Shouts of “Aga Khan Zindabad”
(long live the Aga Khan) swelled
through the surging throng, merging
into a steady roar as the regal pro-
cession slowly approached the glisten-
ing teakwood dias.
Bands blared and bagpipes shrilled
above the roar of the crowd.
