Allied Group Reports
Greek Election Was
True, Valid Verdict

The Allied mission which oh.
served the Greek elections on March
81 said in a report released at the
White House today that "the re.
suits represent true and valic
verdict of the Greek people"
The report was signed by three
chiefs of mission Ambassador
Henry Grady, representing the
United States Government; Richaro
T. Windle for the British and Gen
Arnaud Laparra for the French, ano
the document released simultaneous
ly today by the three governments
is digest of their conclusions.
The report says that war anc
disorder and careless administra-
ton of electoral laws resulted il
the registration lists of voters con.
tanning the names. of dead people
and other inaccuracies, but it added
| that there was a maximum of 22,00(
| illegal votes cast out of a total OF
approximately l,117000 and thai
this could not have influenced the
Scilel dl CltCLlOI1 ICSulUS.
The report sums up major con-
clusions as follows:
The Greek elections of Marcl,
81 were conducted under conditions
that warranted holding them or
the date selected. They were or
the whole free and fair, and the re-
suits represent a true and valid
verdict of the Greek people in the
considered judgment of the Allied
mission to observe the Greek elec-
ton.
This is the missions final judg-
ment made after analysis of
factual information gathered in all
parts of Greece by 240 trained OBJ
servation teams throughout the
period of election campaigning
on election day and in the few days
Immediately after"
The report recognizes 1.-The pres
ent intensity of political emotions
in Greece" and gives the election a
favorable verdict after weighing
that factor
The mission said that if LeftiSt
parties which boycotted the election
had taken part, the single-house
Parliament that was chosen would
now include perhaps 20 per cent
but certainly not more than Is per
cent, Of the representatives of those
parties which would have been in
sufficient to alter the general out
come.
In all, it is figured, 100000 per-
sons abstained from voting. The
total eligible to vote was 1889 900
The report said that some in
timidation of voters both by Right
lists and Leftists was found bu
that this was regarded "as an in
evitable product of Greece's expert.

Iran Believed Ta|kinq
Unity With Azerbaijan
And kurdistan Groups
ny 'he Associoted Press

TEHERAN, April 11.-Develop
ments in Teheran indicated to
day that representatives O
kurdistan, Azerbaijan and tn
1ranian central government
might be comforting somewher
in the mountains near Karaj il
the first step toward re-estab
fishing Trans national unity.
The developments were:
l. A cabinet member told reporter
that Azerbaijan - where a self
proclaimed autonomous government
has been established-had selected
a peace delegation" at a specia
two-day session Of parliament which
ended yesterday at Tabriz.
2. An influential Kurdish land.
owner from near Saujbulagh
CMehaba0-capital of the so-caAee
independent Kurdish republic
said he had acted as intermediary
between the central government anc
GhaZl Mohammed, head of the
1ranian Kurds and deputy chief oil
state for greater Kurdistan." He
said the Kurds were asked to senc
representatives to a meeting meal

press conference in a day or two.
4. A British parliamentary dele.
cation which had planned to leave
Iran yesterday, suddenly postponed
Its return to London and an EN-.
bassy official said the members O.
the delegation went for a picnic
near Karaj."
Government Is Silent.
The central government remained
silent on the possibility of such 6
meeting and Prince Firouz insisted
there were no new developments
since his announcement last week
of the RuSSian-Iranian evacuation
and oil agreements.
Premier Ahmed Qavam repeatedly
has stated Trans intention of solving
the Azerbaijan secession problem by
negotiation, and rumors have per-
sisted here for fortnight that the
central government delegation to
carry on such negotiations had been
appointed.
Prince Firouz has said no central
government group would go to Ia
briz for negotiations, but suggested
they may send some one to u.s.
Observers said the choice of
Karaj-20 miles northwest of Tehe-
ran-as the possible location of any
negotiation conferences was sup
ported by the fact that it is easily
accessible by road from Tabriz, Tehe-
ran and points in Kurdistan. 1t
only recently was evacuated by Rus
sian troops.
Azerbaijan Evacuation Doubted.
An official British sources said
today there still are no signs of a
Russian evacuation of AZerbaijan
in fact our reports indicate the
concentration of troops and tanks
in the province is larger than be-
fore"
An Iranian government spokes-
man a few days ago said the Rus
SLAMS had begun evacuation OF
Tabriz, the, Azerbaijan capital, and
the newspaper Ettelaat reported
that Azerbaijan troops were occupy
ing the barracks formerly used by
the Russians.
The Russian Vice Consul said
yesterday that the Red Army COM
n1andant's delay in acting on an
application for the Associated Press
correspondent here to fly to Tabriz
probably was caused by concen-
tration on more pressing matters
connected with evacuation"
Iranian national police an
nounced, however, that gendarmerie
troopers had reoccupied the post at
Meshed, in Northeastern Iran.

HELPING THE TB PATIENT

Sometimes the family and friends of a tuberculous patient, with the best intentions in the world, actually hinder the pa tient's recovery.
 Not. understanding the nature of the disease or the treatment they fail to offer the patient the kind of assistance he needs to get well.
 The only known cure for tuber- culosis is rest. Complete bed rest is essential to the person afflicted with tuberculosis. Such rest is not possible, however, unless the pa tient is able to relax both mental ly and physically.
 All too often the family or friends fail to grasp the signif- canoe of rest and it's importance to the patient. Even if the latter is in bed, they go to him with family problems, problems which may disturb the patient mentally and make him restless. They fail to understand that the worries they bring to his bedside have an adverse physical effect on him. His restlessness, even in bed, places strain on the diseased lung, thereby retarding the healing pro- cess.
 Often, too, when the patient be- gins to look better after a few weeks in bed and gains weight,
