Son of SandorMar 25, 1951 #ColdWar NYT The unanimous vote of the Iranian Parliament to nationalize the country's oil fields and the installations of the largely British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, was not simply a domestic decision of interest and concern only in Iran. In the background of that action were several geographical, political and strategic considerations which are of world-wide importance. First of all, Iran lies in that vital part of the world that for centuries has been both a bridge between East and West and the pathway of conquest for most of the empires since beginning of history.

Mar 23, 1951 #ColdWar NYT Finding of a low-yield but “practical” source of uranium, an atomic bomb ingredient, in beach sands along the northern California coast was reported today. Dr Hutton said that black sands between Half Moon Bay and Monterey, a stretch of nearly 100 miles to the south of San Francisco, had been found to produce one pound of uranoan thoride from a ton of sand. The mineralogist expressed belief that the uranium of the California Coast was washed down from the Sierra Nevada.

Mar 23, 1951 #ColdWar NYT Julius Rosenberg, charged by the Federal Government with the capital crime of wartime atomic espionage for the Soviet Union, flatly refused at his trial yesterday to say whether he had ever been a member of the Communist party.
Rosenberg said, “I am in favor, heartily in favor, of our Constitution and Bill of Rights and I owe my allegiance to my country at all times. I will fight for this country if it were engaged in a war with any other country."

Mar 23, 1951 #ColdWar NYT Martial law has been proclaimed in Teheran to hold in check the fanatical anti-foreign forces that assassinated the late Prime Minister. These reactionary forces are in control of the Majlis. They are fanned to flame in the name of “revolution” by the Communist party, outlawed but engineering public demonstrations.
Iran's position is so vulnerable that in this case expropriation of the oil industry is not a step toward but away from the independence ruler and people passionately desire. It would inevitably increase Russian pressure and power in an area both the Czars and the Politburo have always coveted.
