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the Great Ghaffar Khan Djalal, arrest him for speeding, all diplomatic and consular agents of Iran have been withdrawn from the U. S. (TIME, Dec. 9 et seq.).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.

It is the department most likely to receive the sweepings--the undecided, the cast-off from another department, and the seeker of the "snap" field. Since its origin there has been a great increase in the number of concentrators, but there has been hardly more than a gesture made at increasing its allotment of funds. The double action of expansion within and budget rigidity imposed from without has show up grievous flaws. The need...
