...GENGHIS KHAN - Ralph Fox - Ear-court, Brace ($3). Story of the medieval warrior (real name: Temujin) who brought the Mongol Empire bloodily to birth. Author Fox, young Englishman whose hobby is central Asian history and archeology, claims that this is "the only book upon the subject in English based on a study of original sources," but admits he has depended entirely on translations...
Because constables at a place called Elkton, Md. had dared to snap handcuffs on the aristocratic wrists of Iran's Minister Plenipotentiary, the Great Ghaffar Khan Djalal, arrest him for speeding, all diplomatic and consular agents of Iran have been withdrawn from the U. S. (TIME, Dec. 9 et seq.). To Teheran went word last week that the end of insults was not yet. Though Iran's chargé d'affaires, Hossein Ghods, has already left the U.

This action was authoritatively attributed to the Persian potentate's ire at what he considered the disrespectful and humiliating treatment of himself and his country in the U. S. Press...
Abrupt and secretive, His Majesty at this juncture last week recalled the Great Khan to Iran, disclosing neither his reasons nor whether a new Iranian Minister will be sent to Washington. At the Iranian legation it was inferred that the King of Kings had been vexed by the attitude of Secretary of State Cordell Hull after the original "Elkton Outrage." Chatting with reporters, Mr. Hull said that the diplomatic immunity of Ambassadors and Ministers should not be considered by them license to violate, but instead reason for observing, laws with particular scrupulousness. This appeared to most Iranian aristocrats both unreasonable...
