Iran and Soviet Union
Aqree on Trade PACT
BY the Associated Press

TEHERAN, Iran, Nov. 3.-Pre-
mier Ali Razmara announced to-
day that Iran and the Soviet
Union have reached final agree
ment on $40 million barter trade
treaty.
Details will be kept secret until
a formal announcement Monday.
The trade pact was proposed by
Russia last August as another step
in the Soviet move to ease tension
on her Iranian border, which had
heightened since the beginning of
the Korean war.
The agreement has been widely
hailed by the leftist press here as
counter to the $25 million Amer
ican loan to Iran recently ap-
proved by the Export Import
Bank.
There were reports three weeks
ago that Russia had threatened to
break OFF the talks after Premier
Razmara refused to allow the
Russians to send in so-called trade
experts to deal freely with Iranian
merchants in the northern bor-
der provinces.
Gen. Razmara repeatedly stood
firm and Russian Ambassador Ivan
Sadchikov apparently dropped the
demand. Gen. Razmara said the
final details of the pact were ar
ranged last night with Mr.. Sad

has expressed the conviction of

In the past. the Trade Board
has opposed various bills provid-
ing for a popu1arly elected gov

the drive for national represen-

Commerce, Mr.. Owen said his
