A total of 500 people were arrested in Teheran today, it was learned here tonight.

The Foreign Secretary, Mr Anthony Eden, now on his way to the United States, was understood to be acck- ing close alignment of Anglo-American views on Middle Eastern policy before embarging on full negotiations with Egypt which are to involve evacuation of the British forces.
