Frankfurt, Jan. l6. (UP)-Gen. Lucius D. Clay announced today that more than 10000 Germans who were jailed automatically as members of suspect German organ ization might be released as a result of new directive from the War De- partment.
 The War Department authorized the U. s. Military Government in Germany to free members of organ izations not facing war crimes in- clements, Clay revealed. He is dep uty military governor of the Amer ican zone.

Teheron Asks Iran Dispute BeBroughtUp
 Big Powers Seek
 To Restrict Work
 For UNO Assembly

London, Jan. l6,-(UP)--The Iranian delegation disclosed today that it has received new instruc- tions from Teheran to place the Iranian dispute with Soviet Rus sia before the United Nations.
 Only yesterday the Iranian am- bassador to London, Seyed HssSan Taquizadeh, told the assembly that he might present the Iranian-Rus- sian quarrel for United Nations consideration if an agreement be- tween the two countries wasn't reached soon.
 The Iranian move ran counter to efforts by the big powers to kepe controversial issues out of the first aSsembly's agenda.
 Delegates to Meet
 The Iranian delegation will meet today to decide whether to raise the issue of relations with Rus s!a in the General Assembly or to present it to the newly-created Security Council.
 The new instructions from Tehe- ran superseded the speech of Ta- quizadeh yesterday in which he reserved the right to raise the issue if the big powers failed to solve the Soviet-Iranian problem at this session of the assembly.
 Taquizadeh said today that the directive from his government al- lowed the delegation here to choose whether to raise the matter before .he assembly or otherwise.
 Seek to Halt Action
 Only the possible persuasion of the big powers could prevent Iran from raising the question. The UNO charter provides that "any member of the United Nations may bring any dispute or any situation which might lead to internatinoal fric- ton" to the attention of the as- embly or Security Council.
 The first Security Council meet ing was scheduled for tomorrow But the Iranian issue was not like. ly to be rSised at that time. The session was expected to be devoted to preliminary organization and opening statement.
 The first step under the charter for the Council would be to recom- mend to the parties that they try to settle their differences by nego- tiation, arbitration. judicially, by regional agencies or arrangements "or other peaceful means of theil own choice"
 Three Named
 Selection of a secrearty general candidate will be the first substan- tive issue before the new Security Council.
 Actual election of the secretary general is by the General Assembly but it must be done on recommen- dtation of the Security Council Seven of the Il council members must approve the recommendation including all the big five.
 Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower Winston Churchill and Anthony are among the world figures men. toned for the job.
 Eisenhower doesn't want it. Int British labor government opposes Churchill, who also is unenthuSec about 1t, anyway. There also i: British government opposition tc Eden, but les than to Churchill.

 Alderman Ward looks indepen- dent. What he will do or what he gill say no one can predict. But we'll wager he will not be a "no- speech" alderman. Still. ne is in the minority, the regular Democrats are in full charge. and what they do as a unit will no doubt prevail.

Price Rise Ln Lumber Considered

washington, Jan. 16-(UP)-Sta bilization Administrator John c. Collet is considering lumber price increases in answer to industry de- mands.
 Collet told a Loggers and Lumber Manufacturers Industry Advisory Committee today that the price changes would be made to increase production of construction lumber.
 Members of the Advisory Com mittee told CPA last week that production cannot be increased un- less price changes are made for lumber and mill work.
 They said the normal balance of sales prices in the industry was changed during the war to stimu- late production of items required for war purposes. This price unbal- ance is now operating to the detri- ment of production of housing items," they said.
 Committee members said some manufacturers may be forced to go out of business because present costs are high and the sales price of lumber "is small"
 Black market activity has risen in the West and South, and on the West Coast it has increased ito substantial proportions within the last 60 days" they said
 Between 70 and 30 percent of production of some types of lumber in the South goes into the black market they reported.
 Reconversion Director John W. Snyder, Housing Expediter Wilson Wyatt and CPA Director John D. Small have asked the industry to increase production wherever possi- ble to provide sufficient lumber for the Veterans Preference Housing Program.
