Oil Dispute: New Students & Hoodlums

Anglo-American

Move Possible

"EXPLANATORY

NOTE"

TO PERSIAN GOVT

London, Sept. 3.

Britain and the United States are considering an informal, new approach to Iran in another attempt to get the Iranian Prime Minister, Dr Mohammed Mossadegh, to accept the Truman-Churchill proposals for Solving the oil crisis.

Authoritative sources, reporting this, said that the approach would probably take the form of an "explanatory note" clarifying some of Teheran's questions about the proposal.

Riot In Hy Jerabad

Bombay, Sept~3.

Two people were killed and 14 of the mob wounded when police opened fire today on a defiant crowd of students and hoodlums. They stoned the polloe, infuring 35, in the biggest disturbance in Hyderabad since Indian Unlon troops occupied theo, atate in 1948.

The disturbances were against non-Hyderabad citizens In government employment, Communists added to the violence of the demonstrations, it was alleged here.

All schools and colleges in the twin clules of Hyderabad and Secunderabad were ordered to be closed for three days. Folice imposed a ban on meetings and processions in the cfties for one week shortly after 10.000 students and others, meet. ing under Communist ausplees, demanded the punishment of police for Bring. They shouted "Quit Hyderabad", "We Want Independent Hyderabad" and other anti-Nehru slogana.

Panic spread in the twin cllies as anti-social elements Joined the students in arson and footing.-Associated Press.

Aerial Thrills

Farnborough

At

Farnborough, Sept. 3.,

More than 7,000 spectators at Britain's flying display here today heard a loud double bang as the best pilot, John Derry, broke through the sound barrier in a De Havilland-110.

Despite clouds, gusty winds and poor visibility, Derry took his plane through the sound barrier in a dive from 40,000 feet.

The crowd heard the double report which sounded like the firing of heavy guns, and then saw the 110 come through the cloud layer and streak across the runway at more than 700 miles der hour.
