AN CHARGES RUSSIA IN UNO COUNCIL
Fies Soviet Warning,
Files Protest Against
Troops Within Borders
(Br Attorialtd Prut)
Iran again has brought Soviet Russia up on charges
before the United Nations. That’s official—revealed to-
day in Washington. The first secretary of the Iranian
Embassy told the Associated Press that Iran has filed a
new protest with the World Security Council against the
Continued presence of Russian troops within its borders.
The Iranian diplomat
said the protest was deliv-
ered last night by the Iran-
ian Ambassador, Hussein
Ala, to Trygve Lie, the UNO
Secretary General, who now
Is in Washington.
The first secretary said the Am-
bassador acted on instructions
which he received from Premier
Ahmed Qavam late yesterday.
And he added the belief that the
Ambassador might personally pre-
sent the Iranian case against
Russia to the Security Council in
New York next week.
Before this announcement,
there had been considerable spec-
ulation that the Russians were
trying to acare the Iranians from
calling for help from the World
Peace Organisation. The United
States Government has received
word from -its representatives in
Iran that Soviet officials in Te-
heran were trying to dissuade
Premier Ahmed Qavam from pro-
testing.

Senate Strips
Case Billot
Strike Control
ras Aunfair* ntmi
Washington, March 10 — The
Senate’s Labor Committee has de-
feated a series of efforts to write
restrictions on unions into a la-
bor disputes bill. The measure is
a Senate substitute for the Houso-
approved Case strike control bill.
The Senate substitute is much
milder than the Case bill and the
Senate Labor Committee went
down the line today against writ-
ing in more stringent provisions
against labor unions. The action
was taken in a closed session and
the committee chairman, Senator
James Murray of Montana, an-
nounced the result.
The committee defeated by a
rote of nine to six a proposal to
make it a legal obligation on un-
ion* to make use of proposed
mediation machinery before strik-
ing. The proposal was made by
Republican Senator Joseph Ball
of Minnesota.
The committee rejected by a
nina to six vote a Ball amend-
ment to take foremen and other
supervisory employees from under
the labor relations act. It turned
down by the same vote an at-
tempt by Senator Allen Kllendcr,
Louisiana Democrat, to provide

The nation’s soft coal operator*

Just before the negotiations be-
gan, the mine workers' leader,
John L. Lewis, asked the coal op-
erators if they want peace or war
over his demands for
working conditions.
In his original charges against
the coal industry, Lewis said man- \
agement and stockholders were
responsible for the deaths of;
28,000 mine workers in a 14-
year period. Yesterday the op-
erators disputed his casualty fig j

Paris, March 19. — Dr. Marcel
Pctnit who style* himself » lead-
er of the French Resistance
Movement—today denied prosecu-
tion charges that he took part in
the alleged robbery and murder of
27 persons who sought to escape
from Nazi France. Thla is dis-
closed by the so-called blue-
beard’s lawyer, Rene Floriot. Th#
lawyer said Petoit would stand pat
on his claim at the opening yes-
terday of hi* trial for mass mur-
der. Thu defendant contended
that his Paris home had been used
in his absence by members of the
Resistance Movement for the to-
called execution of traitors.
The lawyer states Petiot will
argue that medical reports show
some of the alleged murders oc-
curred during the time he was un-
der arrest by the Germans—from
October, 1943, to January, 1944.
He also will contend that he waa
