Iran Denies Imposition
OF Blind CENSORSHIP

Iranian Prime Minister Qavam
has informed the American EN-
bassy in Teheran that no blind
censorship has been imposed on
news dispatches of foreign corre-
spondents there, the State Depart
ment announced today.
The Prime Minister was quoted as
saying no censorship has been ap-
piled to American or any other news
stories with the exception OF two
London Times dispatches.
Nothing will be suppressed from
news dispatches unless it falls within
the provisions of the Madrid Con-
vention of 1882, he informed the
Embassy, and in any event, Ameri-
can correspondents will be notified
in case their dispatches are stopped
Reports Of imposition of a blind
censorship at Teheran reached the
State Department April II, when it
said the American Embassy al
Teheran reported that foreign cor
respondents had been notified off,
cially that their dispatches would
be subject to censorship. without
notification of suspension of any
stories.
This reported censorship was pro-
tested by the United States. The
Embassy in Teheran was instructed
to tell the Prime Minister that this
Government is opposed to political
or other censorship in peacetime
and considers blind censorship to
be the most intolerable kind"

NEW YORK, April 23.-Movie
Producer Howard Hughes resigned
last night from the Motion Picture
Association of America after filing
suit against the group for damages
which the petition said might reach
S5,00O,OOO.
The action was based on damages
allegedly suffered through the MPA's
rejection of advertising material to
be used in the promotion of Mr.
Hughes controversial film, THE
Outlaw" The complaint asks for
treble damages.
In one cause of action the petition
asks specifically for s1,000,O0O, but
in another the petition says the
damages might reach $5,000,000 if
the MPA's stamp of approval were
removed from the film.
Mr.. Hughes resignation came a
few hours before he was to appear
today before the MPA to determine
whether his use of disapproved
and unsubmitted advertising in ex-
plotting The Outlaw constitutes
grounds for his suspension or ex-
pulsion from the association"
Eric Johnston, president of the
association, said in a statement that

was based on reports received in
recent weeks from all parts of the
United States.
Mr.. Dodd expressed confidence
that farmers will plant nearly 3OO,-
100000 acres this year, which would
be close to 100000 more than were

In another development, Mr.. La
Guardia appealed TO idle coal miners

OF coal month for countries being
aided by UNRRA lin the name of

the agency would pay any price
difterential in getting the coal mined
now despite the current strikes.
While Ezra Van Horn, chairman
of the National Bituminous Coal
Conference, withheld comment, K.
c. Adams, editor of the United Mine
Workers Journal, declared that
striking soft coal miners lacked
authority to produce coal for
UNRRA. The miners don't own
the mines. They possess no au-

Asked at press conference if the
world food shortage was foreseeable,
the UNRRA chief answered yes. He

Halifax Stresses Need
For Continued Accord
Between U. s., Britain
by the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK, April 23-Lord Hall
fax, British ambassador to the
United States, last night urged that
the wartime friendship and con-
certed action between the United
States and the British Common
wealth of Nations be continued as
"the rock upon which our house
Of peace is built"
Lord Halifax, in a farewell ad-
dress as ambassador, made his ap-
peal at a dinner of the Pilgrims OF
the United States.
Asserting that the last war would
have been averted had the United
States and the British Common
wealth not failed to act in unity
from 1918 to 1889, Lord Halifax
said:
THE secret of the future lies in
whether or not, with the shadow of
that failure behind US, we can avoid
the same mistake again"
He said, THE future course of his
tory, for your people and mine, and
perhaps for the world, depends on
whether you and we retain during
the years of peace the cooperation
we learned and practiced during the
years of war"
Declaring that If the Charter o1
the United Nations is to be success
full, lit must carry the Endorsement
of the purpose, friendship and un.
derstanding of the peoples who
signed it," Lord Halifax said:
Let our two nations, who already
have so much in common, lead tht
way to this larger understanding.
Such friendship between our TIVE
countries is inspired by no selfish
motive; it is directed against no
body; it is not an end, but a begin
ming; it has no other object than t,
strengthen and reinforce the vii
and work of the organization t.
which our loyalty is pledged. Blu
it can, and should be, the rock upol
which our house of peace is built"
