Five Bondits
 SteoI Relies From Castle
I,5O0 Priceless
 Gems, TFeasuFes MIsSIng IR Never

Hever, England, April 22-(UP) Scotland Vary today directed a farfiuhg search for five bandits who, bringing modern gangsterism to the castle where Henry VIII paid court to Anne Boleyn, escaped with l,50O priceless gems, art treasures and historis relics.
 The Inoated castle where the rob- bery occurred early Sunday now is the home of Col. J. J. Astor, chair man of the Times Publishing CoTl- pany.
 Details of the robbery were radioed to the United States and the Continent. Air fields and coast- al ports throughout the united Kingdom were alerted against the possibility of the criminals trying to escape abroad.
 Clues Available
 Investigators said they had sever- al valuable clues. They hinted that the use of Rolls Royce, a dark sedan similar to one of Astor's might lead to capture of the rob- bers. Three technicians made g microscopic examination of the tire tracks left on the grounds of the 14th century castle,
 The criminal record offices of Scotland yard compared the brief description of the robbers, given by George Scholls, a night watch man at the castle, with the records of international criminals known to specialize in art work.
 One police official said the baI- ledge 'antyasohy q anrda tmthheh dts not only had specializer know ledge of antiques, but knew the castle plan and location of the treasures, Fourmen--the fifth stayed at the wheel of the waiting car covered several rooms on the first and second floors.
 Authorities said the disposal of the treasures probably had been planned carefully in advance, since they can be identified easily and all pawnshops and art salons have been notified.
 Owner HOspitalized
 Lady Violet Astor, undisturbed by the noise of the robbery and un- aware until later that 1t had oc- cured, called on her husband last night at Middlesex hospital to give him the details. He has been under observation at the hospital since April IS.
 The intruders ware dark masks, long overcoats and diary soft hats pulled low over their faces. They left the car in a back drive near the River Eden about 200 yards from the castles back entrance. A drawbridge has three steps at either end, making 8 closer motor ap' proach from that direction im- possible.
 Scholls broke loose soon after the robbers had completed their hour of pillaging, beginning about 3 @. m.

 Kirln Surrounded
 He said Kirin also was surround ed by the Communists, with no government troops to oppose them. He added that the Com munists might take over Dairen if the Russians evacuate that port.
 Generalissimo Chiang Kai-chek's government was preparing, mean while, to move its headquarters from Chungking to Nanking. Newspapers said the government will complete its move by May 1.
 A government spokesman said the government troops ohld Muk- den, Anshan, Fushin and all other towns along the Mukden- Chang chun railroad as far north as Szepingkai. Near Szepingkai the Communists are offering heavy re- Sistance to the Nationalist new first army trying to advance on Changchun.
 There was no confirmation from any source of Communist claims that American planes strafed the Communist army near Szepingkai. A dispatch from Communist head quarters asserted that an Aneri- can plane had been shot down there on April l9 and contained the body of an American soldier

Continued from Page D would leave the case on the agenda at least until May 6, the deadline for the removal of Soviet troops from Iran. But the Foot report, which London said would be trans mitted to Sir Alexander Cadogan, the British delegate, may force Council members to go more thor oughly into the case even If Rus sia meets the deadline.
 The Council already has been lec- tured twice by Australia,s out- spoken delegate. Col w. H. Hodg- son, for its failure to order an in- vestigation into the Iran casa. Hodg- son also is the author of the reso- lution calling for a five-nation council subcommittee investigation of Polands complaint against the Franco regime in Spain. The gen. eral objectives of this resolution al- ready have won wide support in the Council, which will take action on it after Russias demand for withdrawal of the Iranian case is disposed.
 Hussein Ala. Trans representative, will attend tomorrow's Council ses- sion and will be prepared to speak if the Council calls on him. An Iranian spokesman said Ala has had no new instructions since he received the surprise directive from Tehran to withdraw the complaint against Russia.
 Delay Possible
 The likelihood is that the Coun- ell win not call him before he re- ports on May whether the Rus sians had fulfilled their pledge to have the troops out Of Tran by that date. IL also is likeiF that the Coun- ell may withhold any further action on the Tran case--whether the Russians withdraw their troops on time or not--until May 6

Pope

(Continued from Page i) saluted as we passed Finally we came to a plain wooden door which the monsignor -in-waiting opened and ushered us into the Papal li- brary.
 Welcome Smile
 The Holy Father smiled a well come as we advanced and bowed and shook hands. We took seats in three red covered chairs before his desk.
 The pontiff glanced at our let- ters of introduction and opened the conversation by addressing each ot us by name. The discussion pro- ceeded then on the role and fllnc- ton Of journalism in world affairs and at the suggestion of the Pope we gave our impressions on condi- tion in the various countries we had visited,
 The Holy Father emphasized the urgent need of free flow of news and information to all parts of the world, especially at the present time, as @ contribution in promoting better relations among nations which he regarded as essential to lasting peace.
 The Pontiff impressed upon us the great responsibility and oppor- tunity newspapers and radio have to disseminate truly Democratic ideas and ideals through the distribution of impartial information.
 Hopeful
 From discussion of our problems as Journalists in reporting the news in various parts of the world I gained the impression the Holy Father has hoped that objective in. formation will continue to circulate and penetrate the areas which have been deprived by war of freedom of thought and expression.
 l mentioned the Pope'S visit to the United States in 1886 when he was the Paual Secretary of State and he recalled having travelled across the country by plane. He spoke in warm terms of America as a great and generous country and expressed the belief that the United States would be among the leaders In reconstructing the war-torn world.
 As happened 50 frequently during the audience the conversation again turned to food and the Holy Father expressed the urgency of getting any tooo surpluses in the western hemisphere to areas of famine. I received the impression his greatest expectation was that the needy areas would receive grain from both North and South America, parti. cularly the United States and Ar- gentina.
 As the conversion proceeded the Pope frequently gestured with his long, artistic hands and the light reflected against his papal ring, set with deep sapphire stone. He smiled frequently and spoke in soft, even tones, often graciously solocit- ing our opinions on many subjects in most democratic fashion.
 Before him on the desk was a clock, 8 brown portfolio filled with papers and three ordinary pen with steel points standing upright in a box.
 Large Library
 At the end Of the desk was a box filled with rosarieS and sacred medallionS. The Papal library is a large room, hung in red. The Pope's desk is just to the right of the entrance door.

 Bartenders Help
 Then with his bartenders he set to work with brooFns and mops to clear away the debris of cigarette butts and trash. The bar was cur- tained off and flowers overcame the stale odor of beer. Draperies cov- cred most of the beer advertisei ments and Stanger had removed some of his booths to accommodate the makeshift pews.
 Father MacNamera accepted Stanger's offer to use his tavern after attempts to rent a school or public buildings failed. Stanger, who is not a Catholic, said he was "only too Plad to help out-free of charge"

 Proposed to End
 TehFan Problem

Tehran, April 22-(UP) Premier Ahmed ohavam offered Azerbijan Q i've point program of increased autonomy today, but insisted that the Central Government must con trol the Army and the Governor General post.
 Previous indications from Tabriz were that the unrecognized auto nomous regime now controlling Azerbijan would reject any Tehran offer which keeps control of the key military and political postes under the Central Government.
 Ghavam's offer to Azerbijan was made by a statement broadcast in his name. It included:
 CD The people of Azerbijan will elect their own mayors, judiciary officials and governors, whose names will be submitted to the Central Government for official ap- pointment.
 (2) The Central Government will appoint the governor general and Military Commander.
 (3) Persian will be the official language, as in other provinces, but Turkish may be taught in the first five classes of secondary schools
 (4) Complete freedom will be granted the Azerbijans in their ad- herence to any party or political union they desire.
 (5) Consideration will be given in the next Parliament to increase the number of Azerbijan deputies in accordance with the population.
 Concrete Proposal
 Ghavams proposal was the first concrete proposal put forward as a basis of settling the Azerhijan problem. It was prefaced by his statement that from the time the present government took over the government, no efforts have been spared to attend to the true needs of our Azerbaiian blood brethern.
 Reports from the Azerbaijan and Kurdish frontiers indicated there have been clashes between small parties of the opposing factions. The Tehran Government officially denied reports Of serious clashes.
 Ghavam last night ordered Irarl- ian military authorities between Azerbaijan and Kurdistan to re- frain from any provocation against the autonomous democrats" be. cause, he said, events are shaping up to our satisfaction without bloodshed."
 Claim Dropped
 In the recent Soviet-1ranian agreement, Russia officially drop ped her claim for recognition of the Azerbaijan regime and said she would advise the democrats" to make peace with Tehran If the Central Government would carry out governmental reforms in the province.
 Prince Mozaffar Firouz, govern ment spokesman, said yesterday that unofficial Information reach- ing Tehran was that the Russian Army was evacuating Azerhaijan according to plan"
 GA Radio Moscow broadcast said that Gavham enterS Sained Soviet Ambassador Ivan Sadchikov at din- 4ner in the Foreign Ministry. Both Expressed confidence of further de- velopment of Soviet-Iranian fr.end- . ship.)
 Fathali Ipakchian, & wealthy Iranian merchant with holdings in Azerbaijan, left for the provincial capital of Tabriz in Soviet plane yesterday. Usually reliable sources said he was going on an official mission to make contact with Azer- baijans prelimenary to a confer ence of the opposing factions, but Firouz denied the official nature of laia triYA
