 No Progress
 The Indonesian negotiations have made no progress.
 British-F French troops are being removed from Syria next month but the Russians may question the French contention that for technical reasons French troops in Lebanon can't be removed for year.
 JUNO Secretary General Trygve Lie made public the text of the Iranian complaint against Russia late yesterday and announced that the Iranian case was being placed on the Councils provisional agenda.
 It will bring to three the major political. issues on the Councils agenda The others are the Yugo- slavslav complaint about the Polish Army in Italy and the application of Albania, supported by Russia, for UNO membership. But more may be on the list by next week.
 Meanwhile, American officials watched developments in Iran for any sign of a change in government now that the present Iranian regime has taken the decisive step to put Soviet Russia in the Security Coun- cil'S dock" again.
 The Iranian Ambassador in Washington, Hussein, Ala, filed the complaint on instructions from Teh- ran and will present Trans case to the council. He made an immetS- ate conciliatory gesture to RussiN after filing. In a press statement, Ala said:
 q desire on behalf of my gov- ernment to emphasize that the bringing by one party before the Security Council of a dispute of this kind should not be interpreted as an act of unfriendliness by the other party"
 Twin Charges .
 That statement came as Lie was making public Trans double-bar- reled charge that:
 1. The Soviet Union Is violating the Soviet-British-Iranian 1922 Treaty by maintaining troops in Iran after March 2.
 2. The Soviet Union is "continu- ing" to interfere in the internal affairs of Iran through the medi- um of Soviet agents, officials and armed forces'-a policy which Iran alleges violates the 1942 Tripartite Treaty, the Big Three Tehran Dec- laration and the United Nations Charter.
 Iran appealed to the Council to find an immediate and just solu- tion" to the dispute.
 There was the expected specula- ton that the Russians might begin to pressure the present Iranian Government, to reach settlement before the Council meets or that the Russians might try to force a change in the Iranian cabinet to give 1t a more Pro-Soviet complex ion. The new Soviet Ambassador to Iran is scheduled to arrive in Teh- ran today.

 Tn his order to department mem- bers Supt. Roach says in part:
 '"The duty of the patrolman on the beat and any superior officer present is to see that these lines are formed on the outer edge of the sidewalk and that they in no way interfere with the free use of the sidewalk by pedestrians, or obstruct entrance to any other store.
 Many Refuse Police
 Some of the stores referred to, conducting these sales up to now, have refused to hire policemen to control the crowds. They bring trouble on themselves and interfere w1th other establishments by their method of conducting these sales. Many stores distribute such mer- chandise in a different manner and are not causing any trouble or in- convenience to the general public"
 Notice of the order has been sent to all merchants by Frank Green, executive secretary of the Water bury Chamber of Commerce.

 written by Justice Arthur F. ELS. states.
 "It arose out of the employment if 1t occurred in the course of the employment and reulsted from a risk involved in the employment or incident to 1t or to the conditions under which 1t was to be per- formed" the decision continues. It then points out that there must be conjunction of the two require ments to permit compensation.
 Justice ELS states that in the Michaud case there was question of deviation from employment, and that such question is ordinarily one of fact and the conclusion of the trier is final.
 50 many circumstances would have to be considered in the pres ent case in determining whether the decedent could be held to have been in a place where he could ra- sonably be, that the issue is neces- sarily one of fact which the trial court could not and we cannot de- eide" the decision states.
 Justice ELS states, in part, 'The finding did not, and, under the strange circumstances of the case, could not, state what took the de- cedent out of his course, or how he came to get into the vat. The com- missioner had the right to draw reasonable inferences, and upon the facts found the trial court could not hold illogical or unreasonable the conclusion that the injury did not arise out of and in the course of the employment"
 Commissioner O'Connell had found that the accident victim had never performed any work in con- nection with the operations of the "pickle-tub."
 The Supreme Court enumerates the commissioners conclusions as follows: "that Michaud was not engaged in the performance of his duties or doing anything in further arce of his employers business, that he was far removed from the place ct which he performed his usual work, that there was nothing con- nected with that work which would bring him to the vicinity In which he met his death, that he had never been ordered to SO there, that

 Despite these steps, the President has been forced to notify the Polish government that because of the world shortage no grain-importing country can hope to receive more than a portion" of its actual needs.
 Political Expediency
 Lehman also hinted that ration ing may have been lifted in this country because of political expedi- ency. This is 8 Congressional elec- ton year.
 Senator Robert A. Taft, R., O., said he believed the administration removed food controls because 1t thought "rationing was unpopular" He said 1t had the power to re- sume rationing if it wished but that he personally had no recommenda- tionS at this time.
 Several Senators, including Sena- tors Arthur Capper, R., Kansas, and Allen J. Ellender, D., Louisi- ana, thought any action should be held up until former president Her bert Hoover returns from his per- sonal survey of conditions over- seas,

 Midwestern representatives of the National Farmers Union threatened political reprisals if President Tru- man does not act immediately to restore production at the strike bound International Harvester co. plants, producers of 60 percent of the nations farm machinery.
 At the same time, the labor de- partment summoned representatives of the company andm United Farm Equipment Workers (C.I.OO to Washington next Tuesday to confer on the walkout which began last Jan. q.

 Exploded in Air
 The plane was enroute from Stockton, Cal, airbase to Denver, Colo, when, according to eye witt nesses, 1t exploded like a puff of fire" and spun crazily into the 6O00-foot pine-covered Sierra Ne- vada mountainside, scattering bodies and wreckage over half- mile area.
 Bodies were thrown out with such force they were buried deep in hard, ice-crusted snow drifts. Others were caught in the unrecog- nizable remains of the fuselage which left nine e-foot depression in the snow and soft-earth that looked like a bomb crater.
 The main part of the plane crashed 20 feet from the trail sec- tion and sheered of a 70-foot pine tree.
 The bodies were taken to the home of MT. and Mrs. Claire Heater, of Hobart Mills, a lumber ing village about nine miles north of Truckee. Heater saw the crash.
 ''The first thing I saw was this great big flame and then I heard the explosion" Heater said. T saw one wing and one motor break away and sort of flutter down. The other motor was still running, I think. Then the main body spiralled down, breaking into pieces"
 The plane was found about three hours later by a searching party led by H. I. Snider, Truckee forest ranger. AmbulanceS and trucks from Mcclellan Field, Sacramento and Auburn were brought to the scene to recover the bodies.
 It. Irwin Swett, of the operations office of McClelland Field, said the plane had reported "all is well, hy- ing on course" to the Truckee civil aeronautics authority radio station yesterday at 11:39 a. m.-leSS than 10 minutes before 1t was reported to have crashed.
 Flying Low
 Other witnesses said the. plane was flying in a westerly direction when 1t exploded. Normally, 1t would be flying toward the east. They said it was flying low. It was not showing at the time of the crash.
 Army authorities at Stockton air base said most of the passengers were Ion orders" or lon change Of station destined for separation cen. ter" Rescuers had reported that many of the victims looked like just bunch of kids who were get- ting out of the Army"
 Steve Aplin, an employe of the Southern Pacific Railroad and one of the first persons to reach the scene, said he saw bodies scattered for half a mile from the wreckage.
 T never saw anything so horrible in my life," he said. 'The bodies at the scene were just bunch of kids. Army officers told me they were kids who were getting out of the army"
