Placards attacking “Zionism” were among those carried by Iranian students who paraded in front of the State Department Friday demanding that the United States return the Shah of Iran. In large green and red latters the signs read “Zionism-Racism, Hypocrisy, Expansionism,” and “Jews Our Brothers, Down With Zionism.” At different times during the course of their demonstration, the close to 1000 demonstrators also shouted “Down with Zionism.” They also shouted “Long live the Soviet revolution.”
