—A movement for revival ofj
an Australian proposal for a*
United Nations Security Coun-
cil investigation of the Iranian
case gained ground today fol-
lowing an official British ob-
server’s report that Iran’s re-
quest for withdrawal of its
complaint against Soviet Rus-
sia was made under strong
Russian diplomatic pressure.
The British observer, Mi-
chael Foot, a labor member of
parliament, reported to his
government after returning
from Iran that the only way to
guarantee maintenance of
Iranian independence was to
send a United Nations com-
mission to investigate Soviet
troop evacuation from that
country.
That proposal struck a sym-
pathetic chord in council cir-
cles, especially among the Aus-
tralians who previously had
submitted a resolution calling
for such an investigation be-
fore the council disposed of the
case. This resolution, how-
ever. had failed to win council

The Lufkin area extends over

In the entire area total pay-
ments of approximately $18,
000 are being made each
month, an increase of 6C per
cent over the amount paid
monthly at, the same time last
year. Additional payments
are being awarded at the rate
of about $700 per month, and
approximately $1,300 is being
paid each month in the form
of lump-sum payments in cases
where the survivors of deceas-
ed workers do not qualify for
monthly payments.
Mr. James said that there
has been a marked increase in

An Open Letter
To many of our friends and customers, it has been diffi-
cult for them to understand why we cannot supply
them with new or used cars at this time.
First let us say that it is our sincere desire to serve our
customers. We assure you that if we could purchase
new or used automobiles ai ceiling prices and offer
them for resale within government regulations that
certainly we would have them on hand.
Since most sales of better used cars and some new au-
tomobiles arc probably being channeled through ques-
tionable market operations out over the country we
decided many months ago to put all of oar efforts into
our shop and offer the best possible repair service.
Because we have been in the automobile business here
for several years we fecla definite responsibility to
the people of Timpson and nearby communities. Just
as soon, as new ears, pick-ups and trucks are made
available to us they will be delivered to customers in
our trade territory at prices recommended by our gov-
ernment. .
To operate differently we would not feel deserving of
your confidence and patronage.

tanks that plunged the line on
the western front, another was
taken as a prisoner of war,by
the Germans, and numerous
others, all of whom had been
engaged in, highly important
and essential works with Navy,
Army, Coast Guard, Merchant
Marine and other departments

Play a Part
—in strengthening the banking structure.
Every state charters state banks comprising the
State Banking System. They are supervised
under state laws that supplement and enforce
accepted principles of sound banking.
Similarly the Federal government charters
and supervises the national banks of which
there are many in each state. It created the
Federal Reserve System, composed of all Na-
tional and many State Banks, designed primari-
ly to coordinate and strengthen credit opera-
tions of banks; and created the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation.
While the basic soundness of banks is creat-
ed by the honesty and efficiency of their own
managements, these various government meas-
ures brace the financial structure giving, it add-
ed resiliency and usefulness to the public.
