heightened prestige.
Gromyk0's Letter
The basis Of Thursdays settle
ment was described as contained IN
the assurance given in Soviet Am
bassador Andrea Gromyko's letter
to the counc | Wednesday that So
Wet forces will be withdrawn from
Iran within six weeks and that
the removal is not connected with
any negotiations over oil and 9TH
err subjects.
Coupled with this is the fact that
Iranian Ambassador Hussein Ala,
after vigorously gestating his coun-
try's complaints against Russia
said that if Iran could have uncon.
ditional assurances of the with
drawal of Russian forestry May
Sit would readily agree to hav'
ing the coulcil halt proceeding:
on the case, though he would like
to see it kept or the agenda. By
that device he seeks to keep the
councils influence behind Iran.
Delegate May Return
Speculations among top council
delegates is that a settlement Will
clear the way for the prompt re
turn of Gromyko to the council:
meetings, which he has boycottsc
for week under instructions IRON
Moscow not to take part in dis
cussions on Iran.
After Wednesdays midday pub
lie meeting, members OF the Sc
curity Council met privately ano
Informally in conference room
of the United Nations in Rockefel-
Ter Center.
An official announcement giver
out Wednesday night stated that
the Iranian case had been discuss
ed.
While indications were that there
was general recognition that the
crisis was over and a settlement
was at hand, the best available in
formation was that this meeting
had not resulted in any hard and
fast areement on the procedure to
be followed.
Thursdays meeting, neverthe.
less, may wind up the most impor'
tant days of the Councils work for
the time being On Friday members
are expected 10 visit the Long Is
land factory which the United Ma
tons may take over as new head
quarters, replacing Hunter college,
and it is expected Gromyko will
make the trip. After that, except
for possible discussion of new rules
to be adopted, there appeared little
prospect of further major sessions
in the near future.
Russia assured the United Ma
tons Security Council Wednesday
that Red Army forces would be
out Of Iran early in May. Trans
spokesman said that if uncondi-
tional evacuation was guaranteed
by May 6 she would agree to sus-
pend her complaints before the
