 Awaits Note

New York, May 6 = (UP) - A report from Teheran that the last Red Army forces have evacuated Iran was expected today by United Nations Security Council members who are eager to drop the Iranian issue.
 The Council was called last night to meet at 3 p. m. Wednesday and both Russia and Iran have been ask ed in accordance with an April 4 Council resolution to report that all Russian troops were out of Iran by today.
 Although an Iranian report to this effect-probably confirmed by Uni ted States and British sourceS-was virtually certain to be submitted to the Council, it was StJl question whether Russia would report also.
 Russia announced April g that she regarded the Iranian question as settled by RusSo-Iranian agree ment and would not take any part in further Council discussions of the issue. It was thought possible, how ever, that even if Soviet delegate Andrei A. Gromyko stays away from the meeting the Moscow govern ment might formally announce that Russian troops have left Iran.
 The Councils refusal in March to grant Russia two-week postpone ment of Iranian discussions was countered by Russian walk-out, during which Gromyko absented himself from the Council chamber for 13 days, 2l hours, and 26 min- utes. The boycott ended April g, and on April IA Iran withdrew it's ap- peal to the Security Council. The Council nevertheless stuck by its de- cision to request evacuation reports from the two countries by May 6.

A.B.C. Peace This Week Seems Goal
 Still IConfer
 Strict Silence
 Kept by Parties

Prospects for settlement of of the American Brass Com pany strike were brighter to- day than at any time since members of Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers Union locals in Waterbury, Torring- ton and Ansonia walked off their jobs 92 days ago. Company officials and the union negotiating commit tee resumed their peace negotiations at The Elton this afternoon at 2:3O, going into their fourth successive day of parleys.
 Arrival at a strike ending agree ment later this week is considered definitely possible. Disputes over contract clauses on seniority, griev- ance procedure and union security are understood to be the chief re- maining obstacles.
 AS hopes rose for asaConnecticut A.B.C. settlement, the company also moved to end strikes in progress at it's Buffalo and Detroit plants. A negotiation meeting at Buffalo, where workers on strike since Feb ruary 4 also are represented by the MM.S.W., was scheduled for today. At Detroit, where workers have the United Automobile Workers as their bargaining agent, managemert- union conference will be held to- morrow.
 Silence Maintained
 Both sides remained officially si- lent on the progress of the local negotiations, but the very fact that the parleys are continuing is in- terpreted as highly encouraging sign.
 As settlement talks resumed this afternoon, both parties were ready for prolonged meeting that might Cont'd Page 12-(NEfSnTTATn

 Economic Stabilizer Che t e r Bowles told the House Food Short age Committee that T don't know what will happen to the nations economy unless the strike is settled soon. He said effects of the coal walkout already had been disastrous, echoing a White House report Sat urday night which called it na- tional disaster.
 Expects Price Decline Bowles told the committee that, on the other hand, if the strike can be settled soon, industrial produc- ton will leap forward and T believe you will see some prices going down.

Gas
 Supply Drops

Hartford, May 6-(UP)-Hart- ford Gas Company General Mana ger Paul R. Buchanan said today that if the coal strike continues for another 10 days, a rationing system may have to be put into effect so that each of its customers would "have at least a little gas."
 The company receives gas and coke for gas manufacture from the Koppers Coke Company, he said, and that company reported as of May 1 that its supply of coal would fast about 20 days.
 "The cutback in gas will cause us to make more and more of it in our local plant" said Buchanan, '.but to have gas you must have coke, and to have coke you must have coal. No coal, no coke, no gas, by the end of the month the situation will be critical"

hunger strike which was broken only by a four-day respite.
 Sean McCaughy, another IRA. leader, was in the 18th day of a hunger strike in grim Maryboro Prison in Fire.
 Fleming is fasting in protest against his imprisonment an d against the conditions of impriSon- ment of other IRA. leaders held in Northern Ireland prisons.
 Seek To Intervene
 Five members of Parliament today sought to gain permission to visit Fleming in hopes of persuading him to end his fast on a promise that they will campaign for an indepen- dent inquiry into his charges of mis- treatment of political prisoners by the Northern Ireland government.
 Fleming weighed 154 pounds when he started his fast. He now weighs 98 pounds and his brother, James, after visiting him said that he looks. like a living skeleton-you can see his ribs sticking out under his shirt" His four-day respite end- ed 16 days ago.
 McCaughy has refused all liquids as well as food for the past two days. He is serving life sentence for the kidnaping of another IRA. leader who was suspected of being spy.
 Slogans appeared on the walls of Dublin's buildings overnight saying Release the hunger strikers. A mass meeting was held in ancient OConnell Street urging the govern ment to free McCaugt1g or at least classify him as a political, rather than criminal prisoner. Beg DeValer& For Life l Fire petitioners urged that Prime Minister Ramon De Valera fret McCaughy in order to set an ex' ample for Northern Ireland which is holding Fleming.
 Fleming is so weak that bell has been placed by his cot to enable him to summon prison guards. He is visited by prison chaplain Father Patrick McAlliSter twice day, but has not yet received extreme unc- ton.
 Fleming is held in cellblock with 75 other imprisoned IRA. leaders including the swashbuckling former chief of staff, Hugh McAtter. It is believed that if he dies there will be prison demonstrations in protest. The American Red Cross has beer asked to investigate charges thad Fleming was kicked and beaten be- fore starting his hunger strike.
