Angry British Note Reprimands Iran
London—(U.P.)—Great Britain, in an angry note today charged Iranian Premier Mohammed Mossadegh with misrepresentations; accused Iran of ingratitude and handed Iran a virtual take-it-or-leave-it proposal for settling the festering oil dispute.
The sharp criticism of Iran's conduct and the general tone of the note were regarded here as an invitation to the aged Iranian premier to attend him in his repeated threats to break off diplomatic relations with Britain.
The British note to Iran heatedly rejected Premier Mossadegh's demand for payment of $137,200,000 by Britain as the price for resuming negotiations on the oil issue.
In addition to the note to Iran, the government issued a statement which set forth in bitter terms Britain's attitude with Iran's handling of the matter.
Premier Mossadegh was told hi policy of handling ultimatums t London, accompanied by time limit and demands for cash payments was not "likely to further the friend

Britain emphasized that she wants to reach a fair settlement of the oil dispute with Iran. Britain considers that this could be found in the joint Churchill-Truman proposal that the United States grant Iran $10,000,000 to get the oil industry back into operation while compensation claims by both sides were referred to the international court of justice.
The special foreign office statement was far stronger than the note itself.

Explosions Rock Wisconsin Plant

No bodies had been found and no deaths had been officially reported.

Open for Engagements
the first explosion smashed a ball bearing extramex producing equipment at 230mph.
A raging fire immediately followed the explosion, and the heat was so intense that firefighters had difficulty approaching the flames.
A second blast shook the chemical works a few hours later.
The first shock was so severe that it shattered about two-thirds of the windows on the main street of Ashland, Wis., which lies about seven miles across Chequamegon bay in Lake Superior.
About 50 men were on duty in the du Pont plant, which produces commercial explosives. Most of them were probably at work in buildings other than the nitromex division.
Seats Go on Sale For Student Play
Newsmen were barred from the plant and the company was fighting the fire with its own fire department.
Damage was estimated at about $75,000.
The box office for the University Theater's first production, "The Morning Star," opens today.

SENSATIONAL NEW LATHER BOMB
Girl's Description Leads to Seizure of Murder Suspect
Chester, Calif. —(U,P)— Little Sondra Young today gave authorities a surprisingly detailed description of the "nice men" who killed her father, her sisters, her playmate and savagely beat her with a bloody pipe.
Shortly after the 3-year-old girl told her story yesterday a Chester theater owner was arrested near Reno, Nev.
Plumas County Sheriff Melvin H. Schooler said Louis Edmund Blair, the arrested businessman, was the "best suspect we have had so far." Blair steadfastly protested his
innocence and no charge has been filed against him.
Schooler said he would go to Reno today to question Blair and arrange for a lie detector test. The man was questioned by Washoe (Nev.) county sheriff's deputies for two hours last night.
Blair said he had "prayed that Sondra would live so that she could identify the murderers."
"My prayers have been answered," he said.
