# Iran News poster 52r, Scouts and U.S. artillery (Farsi, distributed in Tehran)

A Farsi 'Latest News' sheet in red and grey with four photographs. Captions say the Shahanshah visits Iran's national scout 'republic', heavy American guns recently handed to the Iranian army, and General Seitz, head of the American military advisory group, inspects an independent brigade at Gorgan. The tell is transfer: U.S. military aid and a U.S. general are shown beside the monarch's visit as one news reel.
