PROTECTIONISTS BEATEN
Washington, May 4 Protectionist Senators opposing President Eisenhower's low tariff Bill were heavily defeated tonight. when the Senate rejected a key proposal to limit imports of foreign oil chiefly from Venezuelato a ten per cent quota of domestic consumption.

The proposal was regarded as a major test of the Senate's sentiment in the current debate on the Bill. It was defeated by a standing vote on which there was no official count, but there appeared to be a majority of about two to one for rejection."

Fight Against Corruption
In Persia
Teheran, May 4.
If Persia's giant development programme goes through promptly and efficiently, much of the credit will belong to a small, dapper man named Abdolhassan Ebtehaj,
Ebtehaj, who is 55 years old, was last summer appointed Director of Persia's Seven-Year Plan Organisation which is to map, co-ordinate and execute the economic rehabilitation and expan- sion of the country.
This does not scare Ebtchaj
His immediate task is to spend
dollars (about at all 750,000,000 £350,000,000), in the next seven 'yeara in developing Persia's ports, roads, railways, industry, agriculture, mining and irriga
tion.

This will continue the in- dustrial revolution launched in the 1930's by Rem Shah, father of the present ruler, who is

"All the oil money must come to me," he repeats. "They will not get a penny. I shall fight anyone who wants to take it away and spend it in his own interest."

Ebtebay's enemies say that he is assuming the role of economic czar--a dictator.
To this Ebiehaj, glaring at the ceiling and bristling in his. chair, replies vehemently: "An I a dictator? No! But someone
