Promise Of Support In Any Clash With Reds
New York, July 15,
The leader of one of the most powerful Iranian tribes today pledged his support for the West in any conflict with the Soviet Union over control of the strategic Middle Eastern ́country, but at the same time he warned the United States against "policy errors" that might injure strong American prestige among the Iranians.
Prince Khosrov Ghashghai, chieftain of 350,- 000 Ghashghais who inhabit the, oil-rich southern provinces of Iran, said his tribesmen would go on the warpath if Russia attacked Iran or if her sympathisers, the Tudeh Party, gained control of "METROPOLITAN" the Teheran Government. in an attempt to bring
the country into the Soviet orbit.
