Negotiations to settle the West inghouse Electric strike hit a snag today and the possibility arose that the General Motors dispute might be prolonged by scattered local unions.
 The Westinghouse walkout, in- volving 75,0OO workers, currently is the nations largest labor dispute. Negotiations were recessed until Tuesday after federal conciliators reported that, yesterdays conference with company officials "got abso- lutely nowhere"
 Tn the General Motors dispute, the national conference of the CLIO. United Automobile Workers ratined national issues of the new G.M. coil- tract. The conference, however, is' sued a mandate to local unions to continue the strike wherever local issues had not been settled.

 against the American Brass Com pany. The first direct negotiations since the start of the strike Febru. ary { will be held Tuesday at 10 0. m, U. s. Conciliator Walter Maggtolo having succeeded in are ranging c meeting,
 settlement efforts in the strike against the Chase Brass & Copper Company were at Q standstill today, with no plans made for resumption of negotiations which broke down Thursday. At the Scovill Manufac. turing Company, production will be resumed Monday as Q result of Q strike-ending agreement giving Q wage increase of l8 Ia cents an hour to employees,
 Major Obstacle
 The bonus issue has been seen as Q major obstacle to ending of the A.B.C. strike. It hinges on pay. ment of more than q, ,000,0 900 to over 1900 swing shift workers, as ordered by the war Labor Board, The company has appealed the rulings ordering payment,
 "The union is willing to submit the bonus issue to arbitration ana be bound by the result" was the flat statement of Harold Senior, state c. I. o. publicity director.
 In Q WATR broadcast sponsored by the CIO., Mir. Senior declared last night certain runlors" involv- ing the compensatory bonus were being circulated.
 "One rumor," he said, "is the union is going to drop the compen- satory bonus as an issue in the strike, This rumor Is intended to worry the 1900 employees who have an average of about $500 each due them. The other rumor Is that the union is going to fight for the bonus to the last ditch, and stay on strike until the company agrees [, pay every last dollar. This rumoT Is intended to worry employees whc are not in the group which has bonus money coming"
 Charging that the rumors were planted" so as to worry both groups of A. B. c. employees, MT. Senior went on:
 What is the real truth of the unions position on the compensa- tory bonus? The position is the union is willing to submit this mat ter to arbitration. The bonus issue has already been to the War Labor Board four times, but In the inter- est of settlement the union is will ing to have 1t go to arbitration once more"
 Challenge To Company
 T am emphasizing this point be- cause 1t is a challenge to the com pany-a challenge on the question of its good faith and its interest in settling the dispute with the union as quickly as possible with issues reduced to a minimum"
 Arrangements for the AB.C.- union conference were completed yesterday afternoon by Commission Continued Page +HJNIONl

 London, March 16-(UP) The controlled Moscow press and radio today accused Iran of violating the SoViet-Iranian oil agreement and charged that an anti-Soviet bloc was being created in the Near East,
 Peace Needed
 While hurling accusations at Iran, Turkey and Iraq, Moscow said Russia intends to make herself 50 strong within IS years that she will be secure against any attack. A radio Moscow commentator said the Soviet Union needed peace to achieve this goal.
 Pravada Issued @ call for an even stronger Red Army "to safeguard our country from all eventualities and prevent attempts ct new ag- gressions,"
 The government newspaper IE- vestia charged the Tehran govern ment with giving to Anglo Ameri- can oil interests concessions which had been reserved for Russia un- der the pact of 1921. For 20 years, IEvestia said, the policy of Iranian ruling circles re- garding oil concessions was per. meated with hostility to the Soviet Union and directed toward promo ton of clashes between Russia and other great powers.
 This Is why Trarian reaction aries did not hesitate to violate the Soviet-Iranian agreement" 1Sves- tia said. "One must not forget that these facts have great importance in development of relations be- tween the Soviet Union and Iran" An article In the Moscow publi- cation New Times turned Soviet att tention toward Iraq, adjoining Iran on the west. The New Times said that "Iraq is becoming the center of new Mideast political combina- tions apparently emanating from London"
 The publication charged that cur- rent Turkish -Iraq negotiations are aimed at establishment of an anti- Soviet bloc in the Near East.

 Ottawa, March 16-(UP)-A sev- erance of Russian Canadian diplo- matic relations was predicted today by neutral diplomatic officials who pointed out that public disclosure by Canada of confidential Russian embassy dispatches was move without precedent between friendly governments.
 Russian embassy dispatches tell ing of the assignment of SPP tasks to Canadian government civil serv- ants were quoted in yesterdays an- ti-SPP commission report.
