Mixed y p in Their Geography
Truman Staff Sent Stiff Note to Moscow in October 945
But 1t Had Nothing to Do With on-t Concerned Turkey

President Truman sent a very
stiff note to Moscow in October,
1945. but he and his staff ap-
parently have become mixed up
in their geography. The note
not an ultimatum in the diplo-
matte meaning of the word
had nothing to do with Iran. but
with its neighbor Turkey.
In July. 1945. the U. S. S. r.
began to prod the Turkish gov
eminent for bilateral discus
sions for a solution Of the ques-
tion Of the Dardanelles, and
other territorial matters such
as the areas around Lake Bitlis
and Van. It was obvious to the
Turks that Russia was trying to
maneuver them into a position
in which they would be COM
PEELED to yield to the Russians
historical demands" and even
tually become a Soviet satellite.
After long negotiations, the
>Ankara government refused
to listen further to Soviet
demands. Our Ambassador to
Turkey, Edwin Wilson, reported
that the situation was becoming
dangerous. The Turks were
determined to defend their free
dom, and bluntly told the Rus
slams so. The Reds began to
concentrate forces in the Cau-
casus. It looked as though a
clash between the two countries
was inevitable.
AS the situation grew taut, the
director of the Near Eastern
division of the State Depart
ment prepared a memorandum
for Dean AcheSon, then acting
Secretary Of State, setting forth
the dangers of the situation. Mr..
Acheson with the help of his i'm
mediate collaborators drafted a
very strong note and took it to
the White House. President
Truman Immediately summoned
the joint Chiefs of Staff.
Among those present in ad-
dition to Mr.. Acheson were Ad-
miral William D. Leahy, Ad-
miral Chester Nimitz, the Navy's

g Allied Planes Lost
Ito Red Ground Fire
Equal MICS Fe|Ied
BY the Associated Press

SEOUL. April 26.-Communist
ground fire knocked down eight
Allied warplanes during the week
ended yesterday. the Far East Air
Forces said today.
That number matched the toll
of Red MIG-15 jets shot down in
air combat by United States F-86
Sabre jets during the same period.
One Sabre jet was lost in the air
fighting.
In It's weekly summary the Air
Force said three other Allied
planes failed to return for un-
known causes. One downed plane
was Australian, the others Amer
ican.
The Red toll was put at eight
|MIG-15s destroyed, two probably
destroyed and eight damaged.
The damaged planes included one
of the seldom-seen type Is"
aircraft.

Additionally, United Nations
warplanes destroyed one LILO
and two Yak-9s and damaged
two Yaks in strafing attacks on

Both types are Russian built.
The United States 9th Army, in
it's weekly summary. said its
troops inflicted 1882 casualties or

The figure, lowest in recent weeks
included 879 killed. GIT wounded
and 36 captured.

Iran. It marked the second
anniversary of the declaration
of Teheran. President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Churchill
and Stain had solemnly pledged
themselves to respect the inde-
pendence and territorial integ-
rity of Iran.
Although the war had been
won. Soviet troops still remained
in Iranian territory. Mr.. Ache
son responded with an unpre-
pared short speech telling the
Iranian Ambassador that, come
what may. this country will
stand by obligations to Iran. and
help that nation retain its in
dependence. He warned the am
bassador, however, that the
Iranian government itself must
show full determination to pre-
serve with all the means at its
disposal the freedom of the
country. The diplomatic signifi-
canoe of those words was not
lost to the ambassador. who
transmitted them at once to his
King.
Shortly afterwards, the Prime
Minister, Prince Firuz. who was
toying with the idea of COM
promising and appeasing Mos
COW, resigned. Eventually. the
whole matter was settled by the
United Nations which scored its
only real victory by forcing the
Red troops out Of Iran.
The matter was not reported
then because Secretary Acheson.
after dinner. gave this reporter
a friendly warning that there
were no reporters present that
evening""
That Mr.. Acheson talked in
a general way about the Iranian
crisis with President Truman
before he made his speech
seems highly probable.
But outside this indirect ap-
proach, and some others, such
as Secretary Byrnes reported
recently. there had been no di-
rect official notes sent to the
U. S. S. r. by the United States,
and so much less an ultimatum.

Major Kashmir Issues
Are Reported Settled
By the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y, April
26.-Dr. Frank P. Graham. special
United Nations representative on
Kashmir, said last night India and
Pakistan have made enough prog
ress toward settling their bitter
dispute over Kashmir to consult a
plebiScite administrator.
The administrator Admiral
Chester Nimitz. was named to
supervise the proposed Kashmir
plebiscite three years ago but has
stood by pending a settlement
which would make a fair vote in
the princely state possible. The
vote is to decide whether Kashmir
joins India or PakiStan.
Dr.. Graham reported to the Sc
curity Council that virtually all
major issues have been settled ex-
cept that of demilitarizing Kash-
mir. He reported some advances
even on this problem.

spect in the present Congress
has been better. from the Repub-

Senator Taft. Mr.. Taft has oc-
casionally shown q bit of lib
eralism in such matters as
housing, health and education.
But. as always, Senator Byrd
is running for reelection this
year as a Democrat. and it
wouldn't be fair to have the idea
get around that he is running in
support of Senator Taft or Gen.
Eisenhower or any other Repub-
lican who may meet the pre-
scription offered in the New
York speech. Some of his friends
think he may have trouble

Forrestal remarked that this

the reports of some of those
who were present. answered
that if the Russians want trou-
BILE we might just as well get it
over now (1945) while we were
still strong, than later. He ap-
proved the note.
Mr.. AcheSon returned to the
State Department and ordered
the note sent Immediately to
Moscow. Heads Of the armed
services gathered at the Penta-
gon to survey available forces
and the stocks of war materials.
Intelligence officers reported
that the Turks needed almost
everything. but particularly
tanks. anti-aircraft guns and
airplanes.
The note had its desired ef-
feet. Within less than a week
Ambassador Wilson reported
that the tension had eased, and
in view of the resolute stand of
the United States war between
Russia and Turkey was avoided.
This must have been the in
cident President Truman vague
ly remembered at his press
conference on Thursday. His
geography, however, was con-
fused.
1t is also true that unof1icially
we injected ourselves in the
1ranian-Russian conflict as far
back as December, 1945.
This reporter attended a small
dinner given by the former
Iranian Ambassador, Hossein

was Acting Secretary of State
Dean Acheson.

port and the support of Ameri-

publicans."
Observe the distinction. Sen
ator Byrd obviously was talking
about Presidents, not candi-
dates for President. He was
saying he would support the ac-
ton of the kind of President he
described. not necessarily his
candidacy; he would vote with"
such a man. not "for" him. And
that, of course. Is nothing new

the situation "is nothing to get

The FEC allocated hams the
