 Azerboijon Army
 Threatens Peace
 Of Nation, He Says

New York, May 2-(UP-lran ian Ambassador HuSSein Ala told the United Nations Security Council today that the latest official report from his Government does not show conclusively that all Soviet troops have evacuated Iran.
 He told the Council flatly that the Iranian government "has no author ity in Azerbaijan Province" e"-the area to which it sent commission to determine whether the Red Army had left.
 The Azerbaijan army, he charged, was trained, equipped and uni- formed by Soviet officers and agents.
 Clarity Sought
 Alas statement was made shortly after he was called to. the Council table to attempt to clarify the Iran ian situation which was confused by 8 series of conflicting statements by Ala and the Iranian government in Tehran.
 Because of this confusion and sus- picion that all Russian troops have not left all of Iran, U. s. Delegate Edward R, Stettinirs, Jr., opened todayS meeting by suggesting that the Council keep Iran on it's agen- ldaszer,- se,l .g as ss'''
 These developments came rapidly on the heels of an official statement by Iranian Premier Ahmed Ghavam eS-sultaneh that there was no trace of Soviet troops or equipment in Azerbaijan-the northern Iranian province where the greatest concen- tration of Russian troops had been.
 Doubts Withdrawals
 After the United States and Brit ain indicated they did not believe the Iranian government reported the facts, Ala told the Council:
 T believe 1t was long after the sixth of May when Soviet troops were withdrawn from Azerbaijan, If they have been withdrawn"
 The U. s. request for keeping Iran on the agenda was somewhat a sur prise because the Americans had favored getting rid of the case if Iran would say Russia had left the country.
 Ala contended that Trans present difficulties were the result of pre- vious interference in Azerbaijan by Soviet authorities and Soviet SUD- port for "a handful of misguided men-the insurgents in Azerbaijan. ''

Wellesley Hills. Mass, May 22- (UP)-Rail and coal strikes should be permitted to rage unchecked so that Americas voters would become mad" enough to put 8 stop to them, Economist Roger w. Babson said today.
 The 7O-year-old financial wizard who accurately predicted the 1929 stock market crash contended the most practical method of curbing strikes would be through the exten- sion of antitrust laws now con- trolling industry to point where they would include labor cOmbina- tions and conspiracies."
 However, the change in the anti trust legislation would take place only when the patient American voters got good and mad." Babscn said in an interview.

ATTENTION ALL HUNTERS

MIR. Harold V. Maybee; President
of the Delaware Safety Council. in
issuing a statement pertaining to
the current small game hunting
season, cautioned hunters to exer-
else all due care in the handling of
firearms. Last year many persons
were killed or injured simply be-
cause someone persisted in break
ing a few common safety rules that
govern the sport. This needless
waste of human life can be averted
and will be averted if only hunters
will observe the 10 cardinal rules
as outlined by Mr.. Maybee:
/. Never carry a loaded gun in an
automobile, wagon or other vehicle.
Keep it in it's case until you start
hunting.
2. Before shooting, look into the
breech and make sure that the bar
rel or barrels are clear.
5. Keep the safety lock on until
just ready to shoot.
4. Never pull gun through
fence. Carry it eyer with you. Keep
the muzzle pointed away from
yourself and others.
5. Never lay loaded gun down in
boat. Never lift d gun from boat
by the barrel.
6. Don't set a loaded gun against
a tree or fence or leave it lying on
the ground. Even playful dog
might cause it to be discharged.
! 7. After a fall, or a climb, or after
walking over plowed ground
examine your gun to make sure the
barrels are clear
s. Never shoot at objects indis-
tinctly seen among trees or bushes
they might be human beings.
9. Before shooting at game, make
sure that no house, barn or other
building is in the line of fire.
