whether Russia would answer
this inquiry. Soviet Ambassador

under Moscow's instructions, to
attend the last three Council

not discuss the Daman cafe un-
til April 10.

surely a great deal of help — at

Iran Officials
Disagree Over
Soviet Dispute
TEHRAN, March 29 (delayed'- -
(/Pi—Prince Mozaffar Firouz de-
clared tonight that Premier Ahmed
Qavam “is satisfied with Russian
evacuation progress but is anx-
ious for Iran to be free of foreign
troops as soon as possible,” and
said some of the Iranian ambass-
ador’s statements to the Security
Council were “exaggerated.”
Firouz, telling foreign newsmen
that he was speaking “in my of-
ficial capac.it>' as representative
of the Prime Minister," said am-
bassador Hussein Ala hod “acted 1
according to his duty’’ in again
filing the Iranian case with the
Security Council.
But Ala “allowed his patriotism
and sentiment to control him,” i
and some of Ala’s statements were I
“exaggerated,” he said.
Firouz, propaganda director and !
political undersecretary of State,
said “the Persian case never has
been withdrawn from the Security '
Council.’’ Firouz spoke slowly ami
deliberately from notes.

A highly reliable foreign source
said 1 Hat a “column of Russian
supply trucks” moved out of Ta-
briz Thursday night over the
mountain mad leading southward
along the shores of Lake Urmia.
Two weeks ago a column of
Russian combat troops moved in-
to the area and since have been
unofficially rported to be taking
up positions in the rear of tribes-
men who have been attacking the
Iranian government garrison at
Saqqiz.
An Iranian staff officer said
today he "heard that the Rus-
sians are in a position to sup-
port the Kurds," but added he
had received no ffoicial reports.
Iranian. British and Ameri-
can officials here say no re-
ports of Russian troops actually
quitting Iran have been re-
ceived.
Hutchinson County bowed and
blushed last night as the 1946

to send workers anywhere in
Hutchinson County to pick up

Mr. Williams said, and the Red

to collect the contribution.
