 Iran Regime Criticized
 Russian broadcasts remained silent about the Soviet Unions re- quest for a poStponement of the UNO Security Council meeting un- til April 10. They emphasized the Izvestia article on Iran, third in a. series critical of the Iranian re- gime.
 Izvestia said that the broad mass es of the 1ranian population were displeased because their govern ment had failed to institute social and economic reforms.
 Among Iranian politicians there are not a few who realize the neces- sity of making changes in the foreign and home policies of Iran, IzVestia said. '"The time for these changes is ripe, and they must real ly satisfy the demands of the peo- ple."
 Tehran dispatches indicated that the militant left-wing Tudeh party encouraged by the Moscow attitude was stepping up its activities fl! Tehran and throughout southern Iran.
 Left-wing newspapers which sup. ported Ghavam's appointment as premier have begun to attack him because he failed to give in to the Soviet demands. The London Times correspondent in Tehran said that Ghavam's firmness toward Moscow had caused surprise.
