SKILLED WORKMEN
NOW AVAILABLE
Meeting Will Be Held In The
High School Auditorium
Tomorrow Night, 1880

If you need additional skilled
workmen in your business, if you are
a veteran desiring to learn a trade
or if you are citizen interested in
seeing veterans assisted and Lincoln
County supplied with needed skilled
workers, you are urged to be in the
auditorium of the Lincolnton High
school at 7:30 Friday evening, March
29th.
w. F. Hoyle, chairman of the Vet
erans Committee of the Lincolnton
Chamber of Commerce, announces a
meeting at that time for all inter
ested people. James A. Beard and
A. A. Propst of the Charlotte branch
of the Veterans Administration will
discuss two phases of veterans train
ing.
First, provisions of the G.I. Bill of
Rights for ''on-the-job training" will
be detailed. The Veterans Admin
istration representatives plan to out
line all necessary steps whereby vet
Grams entitled to benefits of the G.I.
Bill may select their trade and be-
come proficient in it. Businessmen
will be shown how they may have
their particular shop or industry ap-
proved for "on-the-job training"
thus obtaining needed workmen and
furnishing opportunity to returned
servicemen.
The second point to be discussed
in the Friday meeting is the possi-
bility of a vocational training school
for Lincoln County. Obviously there
cannot be enough "on-the-job train
ing" projects in our county to train
all our veterans in the skills they
desire. To teach this excess group
it is possible that the Lincolnton
Chamber of Commerce could persuade
the Veterans Administration to es-
tablish a vocational training school
here, provided sufficient interest and
need is shown.
Lincoln County is being given an
opportunity to assist it's veterans.
Any steps taken to help this group
will result in an improved city and
county for all of us. All veterans,
members of industries, businesses
and trades, and all interested per-
sons are requested to be present Fri
day night.

Russian Delegates
Walk Out of UNO
Peace Conference
Iranian Envoy Says Matters
Are Explosive In Homeland;
Meet Today at a Pm.

New York, March 28-The Russian
delegates to the United Nations Sc
curity Council strode grimly from
the council chamber yesterday after
losing their fight to defer considera-
tion of the Iranian question.
The world peace agency soon after
ward heard Trans ambassador term
the situation in his homeland "explo-
sive."
The council adjourned at 6:45 p.
M, EST, until today when men,
bers will sit as a committee in an
executive session scheduled for pm.
A spokesman for the Soviet dele
cation said last night, however, that
the Russians would attend today's
session - from which the press and
public will be barred-thus indicat-
ing strongly that Russia intended to
continue participation, even if limit
ed, in the councils discussions.
The spokesman said this decision
was due to the fact they understood
today's meeting would be procedural
and not touch nthe Iranian situa-
tion.
No open meeting of the council as
such is expected until Friday, men,
Der said.
The peace-enforcement body de-
feated Russia's proposal to postpone
the Russian-Iranian case until April
10 and then, when the Soviet dele
CATION picked up its papers and de-
parted, continued business as usual.
There was no hint from the Rus
slams as to how long they would alb
sent themselves but it was recalled
that the Soviet delegate, Andrei A.
Gromyko, had warned that he could
not participate in any discussion Of
the substance of the Iranian case
before April 10. However, the Po-
lish delegate said later at a press
conference that Russia had not with
drawn from the council.
There were some indications that
U. s. Secretary of State James F.
Byrnes, who had insisted on action
yesterday on the Iranian case, might
call for further consideration of the
question of postponement after hear
ing the Iranian delegate.
Ala in his talk to the council said
he knew of no agreement between
Iran and Russia; that Russia had
told Iranian Premier Ahmed Qavam
that some Russian troops would re-
main in Iran indefinitely, and that
Russia had demanded favorable con-
sideration in forming an oil COM
pany.
Byrnes interrupted Ala to ask
whether he could accept a postpone
ment and what dangers there were
in the situation to prevent a post
ponement.
Ala said Soviet troops "are still
in Iran" and that his country had
no assurance that they would be re-
moved from her territory by a given
date.
Iran is suffering from interven-
tion in its internal affairs because
OF the presence of Soviet officials
and armed forces" he said. "Such
situation is explosive Delay in
the settlement of this dispute is a
threat to world peace"
Ala told the council that his Pre-
mier, Ahmed Qavam, on his mission
to Moscow in February had request
ed the Russians to withdraw their
troops without delay.
The Russians, he continued, re-
fused "to withdraw their troops from
Iran or to refrain from interfering
in the internal affairs of Iran"
