...Iran's vigilant eye last week remained cocked with suspicious disapproval upon the natives of remote Elkton, Md., in which hamlet the Envoy Extraordinary and the Minister Plenipotentiary of Iran, the Great Ghaffar Khan Djalal, was grossly insulted and subjected to being manacled like a criminal (TIME, Dec. 9). The natives who thus violated international comity contended that the Great Khan's car had been speeding. When he produced his diplomatic credentials, saying "I am the Minister of Iran," they, in abysmal ignorance, exclaimed: "Aw, this guy is nothing but a preacher." The Great Khan was avenged...
Abrupt and secretive, His Majesty at this juncture last week recalled the Great Khan to Iran, disclosing neither his reasons nor whether a new Iranian Minister will be sent to Washington.

As she should beat...

The Great Khan squawked to the State Department that he might lose his post as Minister from Iran. The Star then struck off two copies of a special edition in which Writer Brown was reported as having been arrested by order of the State Department and sent to jail for 30 days on bread & water. One copy was handed to the Iranian Legation, the other taken around by Constantine...
