TRUMAN RESTATES
UN0 CONFIDENCE
President Says Nations
Must Abide By Charter
For World Peace

WASHINGTON, March 19.-WD
President Truman and Secretary
of States James F. Byrnes Tues
day reaffirmed full United States
support of the United Nations Or
ganization as the best means for
achieving lasting peace and secu-
rity. They invited other member
nations to give the UNO similar
backing.
Their words, coming virtually on
the eve of the security council
meeting in New York, carried
pointed significance in view of the
current Russian-Iranian crisis.
They were construed as an indirect
appeal to Russia to work out her
Iranian and other problems within
the framework of the UNO.
Full Support
Mr.. Truman said the United States
supports the United Nations char
ter and "the fullest implementa.
tom of its principles. He made
the statement in message trans
hitting to congress q report by
Byrnes on the UNO general assem-
bly, in London early this year.
He said the United States seeks
to achieve the purposes OF the
charter and to perfect it "as expert
ence lights the way"
ITO do less than our utmost In
this essential effort of peace-lov-
ing nations, whatever may be the
obstacles and difficulties, would

lating a written agreement, and
that Moscow agents were inter-
fering in Trans affairs.
The action, taken here by AM
bassador Hussein Ala on orders
from Premier Qavam es Sultaneh,
showed Trans dispute with her big
neighbor toward a climax at the
Councils meeting in New York
next week.
"Unfriendly Act'
The appeal threw into doubt the
continued existence of Qavam's
government since the Soviet
charge d'affaires in Moscow had
warned him last week that any
such move to take the case before
the Security Council would be con.
sidered as an 'unfriendly act"
The Russian warning was re.
ported in official dispatches to
Washington. However, some diplo'
mats believe that the full publicity
given Trans action may be
strong protection to Qavam.
After the appeal was made to the
Security Council Ambassador Ala
declared that his governments &C.

BerIe Announces Resignation
AS Ambassador to Brazil
Reveals Agreement
For Release After
Dutro's Inauguration

Adolf A. Berle, jr., American
Ambassador to Brazil for the last
year, announced in Rio de ia
micro today that he has sub
mitted his resignation to Presi-
dent Truman.
He disclosed, the Associated Press
reported, that the President had
agreed to release him after inaugu-
ration of Gen. Eurlco Gaspar Dutra
AS Brazil's new President, which took
place January 81.
Mr.. Berle was understood to have
informed Mr.. Truman he accepted
the Rio assignment from the late
president Roosevelt last year on the
understanding it would be only for
duration of the war emergency. Mr.
Truman was said to have confirmed
this understanding during a visit by
Mr.. Berle here last month.
Before going to Brazil in jan
uary, 1945, Mr.. Berle served as As
sistant Secretary of State from 1888
until reorganization of the depart
ment under former Secretary of
State Edward R. Stettinius, jr., in

AS member of the United States
delegation to the inter American
conference at Mexico City last year,
Mr.. Berle played a prominent role
in drafting the Act of Chapultepec
which set up standards for Joint
action by the American republics
against any threat OF aggression in
