Russia opposed having the coun-
Gil take up the Iranian .-ase, at least
in so far as it was presented by
complaint lodged with the peace en-
forcement agency by 1raniGr Am
bassador Hussein Ala.
In sharp opposition, Secretary Of
State James Byrnes for the U. S.
and Sir Alexander Cadogan for Brit
ain, declared the case must be heard.
Settled BY Agreement.
Russian Ambassador A d I e i
even to place tn %eIranian case on
the cot,ccil agenda for further dis
cussion because it has been settled
by an agreement between Moscow
and Teheran.
Byrnes replied that if Russia had
made such an agreement it should
have informed the security coun-
Gil, and certainly, he argued, the
council would not wish to deny Iran
an opportunity to be heard.
Sir Alexander endorsed Bvrnes'
statement. He cited a resolution
adopted in London bv the council
two months ago saying Iran and
Russia should try to settle their
troubles directly but hat the Coun-
Gil might ask them to report what
they are doing.
Second Session.
Gromyko spoke after Council
President Quo Tai Chi Of China had
swept aside as unrcady for action
4Oob~;ooI itor,r nv, 4hn n6nnHn ~ tn
days council session, second in
America, and plunged the agency into
discussion of the tangled Iranian is
sue.
Only new instructions from Mos
COW to Ambassador Andrei Gromyko
could avert a sharp debate, these
authorities said, and Stains state
mcnt on the situation was Tter-
prcted as leaving little prospect OF
that.
Stain said the question Of with
drawing Russian troops from Iran
central issue raised in the Iranian
COMPLAINT filed with the council last
week is now a closed matter because
they are being Withdrawn under a
RussO-Iran agreement.
Secretary of State James Byrnes
is understood to feel there IS no
need to raise now the fact that they
should haV ebcen out by March ,,
although some British officials are
still hommering on this point.
Gromyko. on the other hand was
reported standing on the proposal
he made last week that the whole
question should be put off until
April 10. and barr|g new lnstruc-
tons he had no alternative but to
make that argument before the coun-
Gil.

Second MistriaL M
 Hodson Case Ruled
Judge Mclaughlin Sends Written Opinion on Status of Local Case; New Trial Contemplated

A second mistrial was declared by Superior Court Judge Charles J. Mclaughlin today in the Hodson stock recovery action, which has been pending in the court for four years.
 Judge Mclaughlin, who was stricken with a heart attack when the $25,000 suit was in the last stage of completion, states in his memorandum, forwarded from his home in West Hartford, that the fall session of the court has term mated and the cause of action is still unfinished, and consequently 1t is necessary to declare a mistrial.
 The action was brought by Mrs. Gladys Hodson of Waterbury against her ex-husband, Frederick Hodson, and the James w. Hod- son Corp. in an attempt to obtain 50 shares of stock in the corpora ton. Transfer of the stock to Mrs. Hodson had been ordered when she obtained 8 divorce judgment April 29, 194l.
 Atty. William K. Lawlor had been a party defendant originally, in his capacity as treasurer of the corpor- ation, but he was withdrawn as a co-defendant, following a prelim- mary ruling by the jurist, Oct. 18.
 At that time Judge Mclaughlin said the pleadings were not in proper shape for rendering of a judgment and he directed the plaintiff to amend the complaint and seek a declaratory judgment. He also said the defendant corpor- ation would have an opportunity to

Official Chinese abandonment of Outer Mongolia was part of deal made when the Sino-Soviet treaty was signed last August. China agreed to give up Outer Mongolia in return for Soviet support for Chiang Kai-shek's government against the Chinese Communists, and recognition of Chinese sover- eighty over Manchuria.
 The recognition marks the final accomplishment of a Russian as- piration in central Asia that has ex- isted for half century.
 Delegation Restricted
 The Chinese Ministry of Interior sent a delegation from 'Chungking to supervise the plebescite. The delegation returned to Chungking and reported that they had been so restricted in their movement by Mongolian officials that they could not ascertain whether the plebescite expressed the free will of the Mon- golian people.
 The Sino-Soviet treaty signed on Aug. IA provided the basis for to- days developments. It settled number of issues between Chung king and Moscow. Port Arthur was made a joint Soviet Chinese naval base, Darien became a free commercial port, and China agreed to joint operation with Russia of the Chinese eastern and south Man chllrian railways.

Three Killed In Collision.
 Burned to Deoth
 On New York Road

Sturbridge, Mass, Jan. 5. (UP)- Three persons-one of them believed a hitchhiking sailor were burned to death on the New York Post Road only about three miles from the Connecticut state line early today when a truck and light sedan met in a headon collision.
 Two of the victims tentatively were identified as Robert J. Strain, 40, of (Whitney St. Boston and John Newman, 40, .of> Cambridge.
 State Police, who worked nearly two hours in removing the charred bodies from the tangled wreckage, said that Strain was an employe of the University Overland Express Go. of Somerville. They said he was driving the sedan for delivery in New York.
 Newman was identified as the driver of the truck owned by the Cerwonka Trucking Go. of Med- ford. The third victim was believed to be a sailor whom Newman had picked up enroute from Connecticut to Boston.

Continued from Page D be used in part in carrying war brides and dependents of soldiers who married overseas. About 500 of these are expected to arrive this month from Europe. The rate will be stepped up rapidly after that.
 Army Strength Listed
 By July l the Army's planned overseas strength will be 797,000, Collins said, including 335,0O0 in Europe, 375,o00 in the Pacific, 87,- 000' in other overseas areas, Filipin- oS now in training will replace some 50,000 Americans in the Philippines late in 1946.
 The home establishment will in- clude 350,0O0 supply, hospital and other operating personnel, and 343,- 900 men in training, in transit to theaters, or in a small strategic re- serve.
 The total Army strength after July will be 1,550,000. That is ap- proximately 100000 under the figure estimated last September. This cut was achieved by slicing estimates in every theater and at home.
 Selective Service Lags
 Collins said regular Army enlist ments would total about 100000 as of Jan. 1. He said 1t was hoped that enlistments will continue high, al- though they are slowing down some what. He said Selective Service has produced only an average of 37.000 men a month since V-J Day against estimates of needs of 50,000.
 Collins said virtually all 60 point men are home from Europe and 50 point men are now being shipped. By the end of January most men with 50 points will be sent home from the Pacific.
 Under the Navy's new point schedule, the critical score for most male commissioned and warrant of- ficers, set at 41 effective Feb. 2, will be reduced to 40 on Feb. l5 and to 39 on March 2.
 w. A. V. E. Scores Down
 Critical scores for WAVE officers, set at 28 for Feb. will be reduced to 27 on the March control date. Enlisted women's points, set at 9 on Feb. 2 ,iwll be further reduced to 21 in March.
 The Navy made some exceptions in the reduction of point scores for the release of naval aviators and some special categories of enlisted personnel. Point totals for aviators with the rank of ensign, for ex- ample will remain at 20 during the entire period.

Jops Ignored Declaration
 Monilo Open City
 Known by Enemy

Manila, Jan. 5-CUP)-Japanese bombers ignored Gen. Douglas MacArthur's declaration of Manila as an open city,. witnesses testi- fled today at the War Crimes trial of Lt.-Gen. Masaharu Homma.
 Two witnesses, Don Bell, an Am erican radio announcer, and A. L, Valencia of the Manila Daily Bull letin staff, told the U. s. Military Tribunal there was no question about Japanese knowing of the de- claration.
 They said they attended 8 con- ference in MacArthur's headquar- ters Dec. 26, 1941, saw copy of the declaration and heard 1t broad- cast at frequent intervals in the Japanese language. They said they heard radio Tokyo admit the same evening that the broadcast de- claration had been received.
 Valencia testified that the next day he saw Japanese bombers, hy- ing singly, drop bombs on the wal led city and port area, killing 40 persons. He said there was no anti-aircraft or fighter plane op- position.
 More bombers returned the fol- lowing day and blasted inter-island steamers in the Pasig River, he said.
 Defense counsel for Homma, commander of Japanese forces in the Philippines in 194l-42. indi- cated in a cross-examination of an earlier witness that Homma would blame the Japanese Navy for the bombers.
 Lt.-Col. Michio Kitayama, Hom- mas communications officer, said that Navy planes, which had car- ried out early strategic bombings in the Philippines. attacked Manila af- ter the declaration.
 He also said Hommas headquar- ters had communications with Toyko via Formosa but service was so bad 1t sometimes took weeks to get message through. He said there were no direct communica- tions between Army and Navy headquarters.
