Proposed Boost, Perhaps Within 10 Days, to Off,
 seiProdultion Costs

WASHINGTON. May 20.-- Prices of new cars, already boosted be- cause of higher wages. are coming up again this time an average of four to five percent to offset costlier steel and parts.
 Disclosing this today, a high OPA official told a reporter pri- vately that the hike probably will go into effect within 10 days.
 He said OPA hopes this will Lc the last of the auto price increas- es required under the Administra- tion's liberalized wage-price policy
 Under it, retail prices for most cars were boosted from $l to $60 in March and April to compensate for wage increases granted in the indus try.
 Figuring an average of five per- cent, the new increase will add $60 to the price of $l.200 car. How ever the hike in autos in this price range may he less than average.
 In any case, the entire increases will be passed on to the public. CPA has said dealers profit mar gins will not be trimmed any more.

 CT Discuss Iran Case

NEW YORK. May 2o.-~Soviet Delegates Andrei A. Gromyko indi- cated today that he would boycott Wednesdays session of the United Nations Security Council, which has been called to take up again the controversial Iranian question, : Gromyko, who already has walked out on one meeting of the Council and boycotted another, said in re- sponse to a question as to whether he would attend:
 T made myself clear on that some time ago"
 He apparently was referring to his statement of April 23 that Ee would not take part in any further Council discussions of the Iranian question.
 This development came as the Council approached another dead- line in the Iranian case, still with out any assurances from either Russia or Iran that all Soviet troops had been withdrawn from Iranian soil.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - The abortive Paris conference was one of the most secret ever held in city steeped in the tradition of secret diplomacy. Armed guards even bar red newsmen from the Palace of Luxembourg where the conferees sat. Even more secret, however, was dinner attended by Foreign Minister Molotov and Secretary of State Byrnes at which, over brandy and cigars, they did their best to unlock the conference deadlock.
 It was shortly after this secret dinner failed that further con- ference sessions became hopeless and the Foreign Ministers finally decided to go home.
 Tn inviting Byrnes to dinner, Molotov discreetly suggested that Senators Vandenberg of Michigan and Connally of Texas not be in cluded. The intimation was that the two Foreign Ministers could better understand each other if these two Senatorial thorns in the side of the Soviet diplomacy were left in their hotel rooms.
 The Secretary of State, therefore, arrived only with his trusted coun- /Tns1{s..afn<3
