# Iran News poster 52f, nurses' oath, freed prisoners (Farsi, distributed in Tehran)

A Farsi 'Latest News' sheet in red and yellow, linked by lines and circles reading 'tonight' and 'shown in this cinema'. Photographs show a nursing-cap ceremony before Princess Shahnaz Pahlavi in Shiraz, a conference of American-continent presidents, freed Iranian prisoners from the Soviet Union and nurses taking an oath. The tell is transfer: a US-linked hemispheric summit sits among royal and civic items as one news reel.
