Controversy, Relieving Tendon In UNO Ses sion; Russia Says Troops Are Being Withdrawn New York, April 3.?The wont crisis in the United Nations' brief history will be solved tomorrow when its security council accepts Russian assurances that Bod Army troops are being' withdrawn unconditionally from Inn, authoritative sources said to night Replies from both Russia and Iran were read at a public meeting of the council today. Russia said bo condi tions attached to its troop withdraw al. Iran said it would be satisfied if the Red Army get out uncondition ally by May 6; The council then held a two-hour secret meeting and worked out a pro gram based on the two replies which it expects to dissolve the crisis at a public meeting at 11 a. m. tomorrow. It was believed authoritatively that Iranian representative Hussein Ala and members of the council were sta isfied with the Russian assurances. Tension Relieved. Delegates were relieved by the prospective end of 10 days of steadily increasing tension. They expressed belief that the crisis would strengthen the prestige and authority of the council. The right of small nations to complain against big ones had been vindicated. It was understood that Ala him self had informed the UNO that Rus sia's reply was satisfactory. Victory for Byknes. Hie dramatic turn of events was_ja < a personal victory for Secretary of State James F. Byrnes. He led the fight in behalf of the small nations at the price of a Russian council boy cott?broken today when Russia sent its reply. However, chief delegate Andrei A. Gromyko did not attend the council meeting. The precedents believed set were (1) No nation can be prevented from* appealing to the council, (2) No one nation can keep the council from pro ceeding with a case and (3) No na tion can dictate to the council. Two Point#. - -Confidence that the stalemate was . broken was emphasised by two points: 1?That Ruasia's reply said no con ditions were attached to its troop withdrawal and the withdrawals had no connection with negotiation# for either oil conceaions or Aserbaijan Autonomy. 2?Om mission of the previous Russian statement that "unforeseen circumstances" might stop the with drawal. Little Iran'# answer revealed that Premier Ahmed Ghavam ex-Snltaneh had stood up resolutely within the last 10 days?backed by council sup port?against new Russian attempts to attach conditions to troop with drawals. Today's meeting lasted 32 minutes. It was the shortest the coooeil held. It opened tense snd axe It ended with an adjournment, un til 11 a. m. tomorrow, oh a note of hope that the dangerous Russo Iranian crista was all but over. The result was a clear victory for Sec retary of State James F. Byrnes in . his battle for the right of small na- t to be he^nd against gnat ones. crstary General Trygve lim re kussia's reply at 9:10 a. m. two hours and three minutes before the council met at 11:18.
