IRAN DROPS COMPLAINT AGAINST RUSSIA
Soviets Guarantee Red Army Will Be Entirely Withdrawn Before May 6

Tehran, April 15-(UP)-- Iran announced officially to- day that she has requested her representative at the United Nations to withdraw her complaint against Russia immediately.
 The announcement was made by the government spokesman, Prince Mozaffar Firouz who revealed that Russia has given Iran fresh assur- ances that the withdrawal of the Red Army will be completed by May 6.
 Confidence In Pledge
 Iran said Firouz, "has complete confidence in the word and pledge of the Soviet government"
 He said that the instructions to Ambassador Hussein Ala were dis patched immediately after the re- newed assurances from Russia yes- terday
 The action was taken by Premier Ahmed Ghavam as his government faced spreading growth of infiu- ence of the left-wing, Pro-Russian Tudeh Party which suddenly emerged in industrial Isfahan.
 With further regard to the tele- gram sent to Ala yesterday" Firouz said, today he has been given fur ther instructions.
 "As a result of the agreement signed between the Persian and Soviet governments concerning evacuation of all Soviet troops from Persian territory by May 6 the con- ditions and circumstances which dictated giving of the complaint to the Security Council no longer | arise.
 Tn view of the fact that yester- day evening Che Russian ambaSsa- dor again categorically reiterated to the Premier that complete and unconditional evacuation by the Red Army will be completed by May &, instructions have been sent to Ala by the Persian government inform ing him of the renewed pledge of the Soviet government and instruct ing him that since the Persian gOv- ernment has complete confidence in the word and pledge Df the Soviet government he is instructed immediately to withdraw the conn plaint from the Security Council" "'
 Debate Today
 There was no indication here whether the new instructions to Ala were sent forward with sufficient dispatch to reach him prior to to- days Security Council meeting at which the Soviet request for remov- al of the Iran case from the agenda will be debated.
 Just before the official announce ment that new instructions had been given to Ala, Firouz had in dicated he believed that the Se- curity Council would continue the Iran case on its agenda.
 He said the question of Security Council action was up to its mem berS.

 Union officials said today that the black market and the current short- ages were encouraged deliberately py the meat industry as a means oi .abolishing price control on meat.
 The American meat institute, spokesman for the organized meat industry, charged yesterday that proposed O.PA. program designed to get meat back into legitimate channels would be ineffective
 The institute said that the pro- gram, which would include a restor- ation of a quota system for slaugh- tering similar to that used during the war, would only confuse the meat marketing picture still further,
 Chicago and Eastern seaboard areas, particularly New England ap- parently suffered the greatest short ages.
 In Chicago many housewives were unable to get meat for the weekend Butchers said they could see no re- lief in sight for several weeks,
