Council Jurisdiction
Of Iran Issue Breaks
Charter, Reds Charqe
BY the Associated Press

| LONDON, April 9-The Soviet
government newspaper Izvestia So s
today that the United Nations Sc
curity Council, by retaining juris-
| dlction of the RuSsian-Iran dispute
broke the Charter of the Unitett
Nations Organization.
Izvestia. quoted by the Mosc,;.
radio in broadcast heard here, re-
lterated the views expressed yester-
day by the Communist organ Prav-
| da and declared that a bilateral
agreement between Russia and Iran
vinGicated the Soviet policy and
would strengthen international
peace and security
1zvestia said progressive circles
and the press" in Iran had received
news Of the agreement with great
satisfaction. 1t quoted Iranian
newspaper as saying the agreement
carries a hard blow against war
mongers and reactionary elements,
since 1t takes out of their hands
their most important weapon of
propaganda against the Soviet IN
ion
1zvestia said the Security Council
had no right to consider the ques-
ton, because Soviet-Iranian rela-
tons did not contain one grain of
that threat ito international peace
which is mentioned" in the United
Nations Charter.
The placing of the question be-
fore the Security Council, it said,
was actually in part called forth
by a tendency of Iranian reaction
aries not to allow a definite solution
OF Soviet-Iranian relations and to
reap advantage from artificial ag-
/ gravation of relations between the
Soviet Union and other great pow

Naziis Defense WAGES
War on Jews THROUGH
Trial, Jackson Says
BY the Associated Press

NUREMBERG, April 9.-Justice
Robert H. Jackson, chief Amer
lean prosecutor, charged before
the international Military Tri-
bunal today that the defense was
attempting to disseminate anti
Semitic propaganda" through
the war crimes trial and had
committed a fragrant case of
contempt of court"
Mr.. Jackson based his charges on
an exhibit of documentary evidence
which the tribunals presses had
printed for defendant Alfred Rosen-
berg. Mr.. Jackson commended the
material, which he described as
violently anti-Semite and irrele-
want rubbish" had been submitted to
the printers by Rosenberg's counsel
after it had been rejected by the
tribunal
Sharp Reaction From Defense.
Mr.. Jackson's charges brought an
immediate and sharp reaction from
defense counsel, whose spokesman
tall, white-haired DR.. Rudolf Dix,
replied with suggestion that Mr.,
Jackson retract.
Il stand on the facts" Mr.. Jack
son rejoined, and exhibited to the
tribunal stenciled copies of the re-
Jected material.
Mr.. jackson read to the tribunal
excerpts from Rosenberg's book of
documentary evidence which char
acterized Jews as bastard popu-
latlon arrogant, shrewd and
crooked"
The United States cannot print
and disseminate to the press this
violent anti-Semitism," Mr.. Jackson
declared. The defense believes we
are here to try the issue of the
causes of anti-Semitism, with this
tribunal as the sounding board.
That is wrong. The issue is not
Rosenberg's philosophy, but we are
charging the murder of four to five
million. Jews.
Included "by Mistake"
The American prosecutor proposed
shutting off printing facilities to the
defense.
Rosenberg's counsel contended
that the anti-Semitic passages read
by Mr.. Jackson were quotations
from a French philosopher and were
included in the printing order "by
mistake"
Mr.. Jackson's blast, delivered at
the opening of the days session,
provoked Commute argument
over the rules on submitting, proc
esslng and printing documentary
evidence. There have been frequent
differences between the prosecution
and the defense relative to material
OF questionable relevance.
To alleviate these differences the
tribunal accepted Mr.. Jackson's sug-
gestion that special master be
appointed to rule on the relevance
OF material submitted for printing
thus relieving the prosecutors and
the tribunal of this problem,

Real Estate Men Study

Trustees of the National Real
Estate Foundation today turned to
a study OF taxation on real estate
and real estate ownership as they
entered the second day of two
day conference at the Statler Hotel

In closed session this afternoon
the organization was expected to
authorize a study which would en-
brace both taxes on real estate and
on property earnings. Arthur w.

At the opening session last night
J, Howard Pew Philadelphia, pres
ident of the Sun Oil Co., warned
that property owners could never
relax until the Office of Price Ad-
mlnlStratiOn is abolished.
Charges OPA Coercion.
Charging OPA with coercion, in
limitation and bribery" Mr.. Pew
said he had no doubt that black
marketers are stanch supporters of
OPA, just as the bootleggers were
of national prohibition Is years
ago
Mr.. Pew declared OPA is seeking
to remain in power by double talk
and speclous argument, by arousing
fear in the public mind by spend
ing millions of dollars of the tax
payers money on propaganda to
delude them. ="
Price control and strikes. Mr.. Pew
said. are mainly to blame for short
ages Of consumer goods.
And price control, in large
measure, has been responsible for
the strikes he added. Had in
duStrlal management been free to
adjust prices and wages, and if the
Government had not interfered. in
creased wage demands would have
been reconClled without the lengthy
strikes which have been so costly
to every one"
Predicts Another Extension.
The Philadelphia induStrialist de-
clared that if Congress extends OPA
for year from June 30, the agency
will seek extension again.
Next year he said. they will
be able to plead a greater urgency,
for continued price control will
make the problem worse" In case
price controls are ended this June,
the Sun Oil Co. president said,
many price rises will be more ap-
parent than real.
: When speaking of price increases,
We should distinguish between the
OPA or legal prices, which are
largely academic, and real prices
which must be paid to get goods"
