IRANlAN RUSSO
 DISPUTE CAUSES
 GRAVE SITUATION
Soviet Leaders at UN0 General Assembly Say
 Nothing : Threat
(BY JOHN M. HIcHrowER)

LONDON, Jan. IS. The Iranian delegation to the United Nations General Assembly today took the first concrete steps to bring the ex- plosive Iranian- Russian dispute be- fore the world security council as Soviet delegates maintained com plete silence on the issue.
 Andrei Gromyko, acting chief of the Soviet delegation, making the first major Russian speech before the assembly, ignored the Iranian question, which was causing serious concern among United Nations lead- CTS.
 Shortly before Gromyko took the floor Seyed Hassan Taquizadeh, the chief of the Iranian delegation, conferred with the executive sec- retary of the assembly on what Ta- quizadeh called technical arrange ments" for placing Trans complaints before the security council.
 Some of the Iranian leaders as- sociates had indicated earlier that the case might be filed today or tomorrow, but they said they were uncertain over where and how to file it. Presumably this was the question taken up with Secretary Gladwyn Jebb by Taquizadeh.
 Grcmyko, meanwhile, told the as- sembly that the future peace of the world depends upon the unity of the big powers and warned against any efforts to cut down their authority by revising the charter of the un- ion
 He strongly supported big power plans to give the security council control of atomic energy problems.

 NECESSARY IN
 PACIFIC ARMY

WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. - Con- gress has received from Gen. Doug las MacArthur warning that any attempt to cut Pacific forces be- low the 100000 strength contem- plated by July l would weaken to dangercrs degree" military controls over Japan and Korea.

CONTROL OF FARES
 REMAINS BRITISH
 AVIATION PROBLEM
(By James J. Strebig)

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Jan. l8.- Britain's great concern in rewriting z commercial agreement with the United States still appeared today to be over control of fares, either directly by the governments or through an operators conference with the governments overseeing compliance.
 The British lack of modern transport aircraft figures strongly in their thinking on the agreement, although Sir William Hildren, who is scheduled to resign March 3l as Director General of British Civil Aviation, said the United Kingdom welcomed American air services despite it's own lack of planes for comparable operations.
 We do not stand for restric- tions or hampering.' said Sir Will liam, who soon will become Direc- tor General of the International Air Transport Association.
 We do want low cost mass trav- el," he told press conference. Whatever we have done or any restrictions we have suggested have been based on the principle that some regulation is necessary in the best interests of all concerned passenger, operator and taxpayer 2
 An agreement governing com mercial use of airfields built on bases leased to the United States in 1940 was being drafted today for possible submission tomorrow to the Anglo-American Civil Aviation con- ference.

Special Session of Alaska
 Legislature on March 4 Is
 Indicated, Governor 5 Talk
(BY CHARLES D. wArKINs)

WASHINGTON. Jan 18.--Alaska is girding for a fight against any in crease in steamship rates from the United States to the Territory.
 We're going to fight with every thing we have" said Gov. Ernest Gruening, here on his annual visit to help prepare the Alaska budget to be submitted to Congress.
 Gruening said the Maritime Com mission had held hearing in Seattle on rates but that he and Delegate Bartlett had succeeded in having second hearing scheduled for Juneau this month postponed.
 Gruening said the people of the Territory opposed any increase in rates because rates now are burden some and a heavy drain.
 We have succeeded in getting time to prepare our opposition to any rate increase" the Governor said, and we are going to fight those proposals with everything we have"
 Gruening said he hoped the Pres ident's budget would recommend ad- ditional appropriations for agricul- ture in the Territory. He and Bart lett urged the President a month ago to have agriculture expanded there and to give Alaska more money fer roads and housing.
 The Governor said he would re- main in Washington to testify before the appropriations committee, but planned to depart about Feb to be back in Juneau for the special ses- sion of the legislature March 4.

The W Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON -- Some people may have been surprised at the flare-up of CT. meetings following announcement that de- mobilization would be delayed. Ger tainly, however, the General Sta-f in Washington should not have been surprised.
 Anyone reading the seryicemen's newspapers, anyone sampiing the thousands of letters which pour in On Congressman and commentators, knew that for weeks CT. resent ment was near boiling point. Mo- body stirred it up. It had been brewing for months.
 Most surprising fact, however. is tbat, despite this long-brewing con- dition, the General Staff in Wash ington has done nothing to correct a basic situation inside the Army which goes much deeper than merely delayed, demobilization For much of the GI. resentment springs from a sense of injustice and illustration.
 And if we are to have a big peacetime Army, the bigger it is, the more necessary it is to mend morale permanently.
 Some Congressman are convinced as result of hints dropped around the Pentagon Building that the War Department deliber- ately slowed up demobilization in order to put the heat on for con- scription. Pressure from the boys overseas would then be such that Congress would pass conscription immediately thus supplying re- placement troops.

THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM" IS BILL
 AT 7OTK CENTURY

It is difficult to describe in mere words the tremendous emotional experience coupled with superb scheen entertainment that awaits local movie-goers at the magni1i, cent production of The Keys of the Kingdom now at the goth Cen tury.
 For the millions who have read Cronins heart warming and provo cative story, the motion picture cannot help but raise it's dramatic excitement and cverwh slmingly powerful impact to the point of an exhi,slating fresh and enriching experience.
 The Keys of the Kingdom" is the story of Francis Chisholm. a very good and brave mana very great man who travelled many roads through many lands in a never-e ending search for an ever wondrous secret of happiness, It is the story of his dreams and of many women's longings.
 It is the story of Nora, the girl be loved, of his desire to protect her frailty, as opposed to his strong desire to devote his life to the church. It is the story of Maria Veronica, Austrian born aristocrat, tco proud and intolerant to recog- nize the greatness of a simple man. The incidents leading up to their understanding make some of the most powerfully dramatic moments of the film. And there are many such moments in the picture which travels from England. where Fran cis spends his childhood, to Scot land and on to China, where Chisholms mission becomes a bat tlefield.
