...Milwaukee, a regional meeting of representatives of 46,000 United Automobile Workers loyal to embattled President Homer Martin condemned Leader Lewis' proposed intervention in their troubled union affairs, voted to suspend their 5? monthly dues to C.I.O.-a move highly ominous if Homer Martin succeeds in retaining control of his 400,000-member union.

Not one rial of foreign money went into its construction. Skipping most of Iran's largest centres, crossing mountain ranges, connecting with no foreign railways, the line is patently uneconomic.
