Qiarge
By

Envoy
Gromyko
Says
Great
Britain
and
United
States
Does-Not
Want
Iran
Settlement
NEW
YORK
The
U.N.O.
Russian
delegate,
Andrei
Gromyko,
yesterday
charged
the
United
States
and
Britain
with
not
wanting
to
see
a
peaceful
settlement
of
the
Iranian
dispute.
This
followed
the
Am-
erican
leadership
of
opposition
to
Russia's
demand
that
the
Security
Council
forget
all
about
the
Iranian
question.
The
Russian
demand
was
shelved,
for
the
time
being
at
least.
The
United
Nations
security
council
today
postponed
action
on
Russia's
proposal
for
dropping
the
Russian
-Iranian..
case
and
adjourned
until
Wednesday
noon
with
three
delegates,
demanding
immediate
consideration
of
Poland's
charges
against
Franco's
Spain.
Dr.
Quo
Tai-Chai,
chairman,
did
not
state
what
would
'be
taken
up
Wednesday.
France,
Russia
and
Poland
had
joined
In
asking
Immediate
consideration
of
the
Spanish
case.
Poland
has
charged
Franco
Spain
with
endangering
the
world
peace,
and
with
harboring
Nazi
scientists.
Eight
delegates
lined
up
today
against
Russia's
proposal
I
that
the
council
immediately
strike
the
Russian-Iranian
case
from
Its
agenda.
The
matter
may
come
up
again
Thursday.
