There are a number of other poli- tical issues the Soviet union could bring before the Council--as it did in Londor-if it wishes.
 Some diplomats connected with the Council would be surprised If the Soviet Union accepts the U.N.O. formula" set up for disposal of the Iranian case without coupling its reply with charges against Brit ain and possibly the united States which might overshadow the Tram ian issue.
 Quick With Comeback
 Tn London when the Iranians brought their first case against Russia to the Council, the Soviet Union and Soviet Ukraine snapped back immediately with charges against British policy in Indonesia and Greece. The Russians still think that the British urged the Iranians to make those original charges and are extremely bitter about the leading role Byrnes has played in the Iranian case here.
 Issues the Russians are most likely to raise include::'
 CREE c E-Where Soviet
 favored leftists forces were
 soundly defeated in Sundays
 election by the Royalist- Pop
 ulist group. Both American and
 British troops are in Greece
 acting as observers" during
 Sundays election.
 INDONESIA Where a
 Dutch Indonesian settlement
 has not been reached but is re-
 ported near.
 ICELAND-Where American
 troops are still quartered more
 than six months after the end
 of the Japanese war. Dispatch
 es in Scandinavian papers re-
 port that Iceland has sent
 note to the U. s. asking 1t to
 remove its troops.
 CUBA-Where the U. s.
 plans on May 20 to turn over
 its wartime built bases to the
 Cuban government but to re-
 tain Guantanamo. Cuban Com
 munist papers and the Moscow
 radio have been citing this as
 case of American troops in an-
 other sovereign nation.
 Setback in Argentina
 Tn addition there is always the possibility Russia may toss Spain and Argentina into the Council. Both of these issues would be ex- tremely embarrassing to the United States and Britain.
 The United States has just suf- fered a major setback in its inter- American policy. Strong man Col. Juan Peron won the Argentine elec- tion despite American hopes and ef- forts to defeat him. Now the U. s. announces its plan to send an arn- bassador back to Argentina, only few weeks after its blue book de- nounced Peron and his supporters as Fascist supporters of the Axis during the war.
 Dispatches from shannon, Ire- land, reporting two heavily-laden Russian couriers en route from Mos COW to Washington with important dispatches aroused Council mem- bers curiosity as they awaited Rus sia's reply to the Councils request for:
 l.. Explanation of the exact
 status of Sovietrranian nego-
 tiations.
 2. Assurances that removal
 of Russian troops 1t not con-
 ditioned upon other Iranian
 concessions in oil, etc.
 HusSein Ala Supported
 Iranian Ambassador Hussein Ala, denounced by the Russians for al- legedly not following his govern- ment's instructions, received 100 percent support from his premier, Ahmad Ghavam Es-Sultaneh yes- terday. In a cable to Lie, Ghavam indicated Iran is not backing down an inch in It's case against Russia and officially assured Lie that Ala has his full support.
 The Council sent the same re- quest for information to Tran and Ala expects his governments re. ply today.
 They were encouraged by reports from Tehran that the Russians are packing up in Tabriz to leave. Of- ficial evidence that the Russian troops are crossing the, Iranian- Soviet border to go home-if 1t arr rives by tomorrow-would 90 far toward disposing of the problem even if an official Russian reply IS not at hand, official word that the Russians were on the march out of Iran would tempt the Council members to wait little longer be- fore proceeding with the Iranian
