AIeutian Is Moi Con1inq;
 Is Tied Up

SEATTLE, March 29-With 475 passengers booked and approximate ly 1000 tons of cargo loaded, the sailing of the steamship Aleutian for Alaska set for 10 o'clock to- morrow, was indefinitely postponed today as a result of a dispute be- tween the Sailors union of the Pac- fife and the Alaska Steamship Com- pany.
 Leading of the Aleutian was halt ed this forenoon and passengers were notified that the sailing had been cancelled. The Aleutian ar rived in Seattle three days late, as a result of disputes over the work ing of cargo by members of the crew in Alaska ports.
 A representative of the Alaska Steamship company said the crew refused to sign on the Aleutian un- less the chief mate was discharged. This the company refused to do.
 A representative of the Sailors union of the Pacific said the chief mate discharged nine men of the crew when the vessel arrived in Seattle last Monday night. The union announced that none of the men would sail with the chief mate and demanded his discharge. No more cargo will be received for the Aleutian, the Alaska Steamship Company announced today.
 L. w. Baker, Vice President and general manager of the Alaska Steamship Company today issued the following statement:
 Yesterday afternoon the Port committee met with representatives of the Sailors union of the Pacific and representatives of the Alaska Steamship company, Northland Transportation company and Alaska transportation company in regard to the dispute that has tied up the Aleutian. The Sailors union an- nounced they would not sign on the Aleutian under the present mate. In other words they insisted that they be allowed to select mate for the vessel. We refused to dis charge the mate on demand of the union and to allow them ito select his successor. The cargo aboard the Aleutian will be discharged and the vessel tied up in Lake Union"

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = Not long be- fore he died, Franklin Roosevelt was talking to his friend Morris Ernst, author of The First Free dom," about the problem of pene- trAting the iron curtain around Russia.
 Ernst had told Roosevelt how an OWI illustrated magazine, Amer ica," finally had been permitted to enter Russia in limited quantities Although given away by the U. s. Government, the magazines were in such demand that the Russians later sold them for large sums of money.
 One article in the magazine de- scribed the life of George Wash ington Carver, famous Negro scien- tist. and the high recognition he was given in the United States. Ernst told FDR that this article was the first evidence the Rus sians had to disprove the Com munist propaganda that all Me- groes were beaten or lynched in the United States Ernst also urged the importance of getting more books and radio broadcasts inside Russia in order to ensure perman- ent Americana Soviet friendship.
 Roosevelt agreed and added:
 When the right time comes, there is just one book which will win over the Russian people"
 What is that?" asked Ernst.
 The Sears Roebuck catalogue" !"

NEW STEPS ARE TAKEN
 IRAN CASE
Continual Refusal of So- viefs 10 Take Part in Dis
 Cussions Prompts Move
(BY JOHN NJ. HrcHrowrr,


 NEW YORK, March 29.--A ma iority of the United Nations &c., curity Council, with considerable leadership from Secretary of State Byrnes. drove toward showdown with Russia today over her refusal to take part in discussion of the Iranian case.
 As the Council scheduled @ pm, ES.T) another public meeting on the case, having decided to go lhead without Russia, there were authoritative predictions that it would adopt plan calling for sub- mission to both Moscow and Teh- ran of three specific questions bearing on current negotiations be- tween them and on the withdrawal of Russian troops from Iran.
 Early, Replies Requested
 Replies would be requested by early next week. probably Tues- day or Wednesday. after which the Council might proceed with or without the answers. The question procedure won informal majority support at a closed session of the Council late yesterday, according to persons familiar with the discus sions at that meeting.
 Among top delegates t.aere was some hope the Soviet, Government would find this CT some ot nor me- ttod as a graceful way oat Of the situation created by Ambassador Andrei Gromyko,s Moscow directed absence from two Council sessions.
 Didn't Show Up
 Some privately expressed hope that Gromyko might receive new instructions after the Kremlin weighed world reaction to his dra- matic gesture in walking out Of Wednesdays Security Council meet ing and in the interest of gesturing unity among the key powers in the Council. The Ambassador stayed at his Russian Consulate offices last night until after midnight. then re- turned to his hotel
 Secretary Byrnes was represent ed by persons familiar with his statements at yesterdays secret Council session as extremely de- sirous of finding constructive solution" to the problems both Of the Iranian case and restoration of harmony within the Council
 Has Truman's Backing
 But he was determined, with the publicly expressed backing of Pres ident Truman. not to let the So- viet hamstring the Councils work m so far as that can be prevented. even though Russia is one Of the five powers holding permanent seats in that agency.
 Gromyko. after many false ai- arms, and after one excursion around. town in his official llm- ousine. failed to show up for yes terday's session.
 Three Questions
 A slate of three major questions which may finally be formally stated in various combinations, was reported in preparation for sub- mission to the Council with a pro- posal that both Russia and Iran be requested to answer them. Re- gardless of how they are finally stated, these are the things Byrnes and others sharing his views want to know:
 1. Why are Russian assurances that their troops are being rei.,ov- ed from Iran, barring unforeseen developments no. satisfactory to the Iranian government?
 2. What negotiations are now go- ing on between Russia and Iran?
 3. Is the removal of Red Army forces conditional upon these ncso- tiations?
