The council was plunged into a new grave crisis by the Soviets charge that its action had been incorrect and illegal and its demand that the council abandon jurisdiction over the Iranian case even before Red army troops evacuate Iran. American and British delegates planned a series of informal talks with other council delegates late today to work out new strategy against the Soviet counteroffensive.

None would comment for publication but the tone of their private remarks indicated that they thought the Iranians had misled the council. American officials doubted that Secretary oL State James F. Byrnes- wiU'VtiagR, hijr position. He is unlikely to be willing to admit now that he was and the Russians right which is what the Soviet Union is asking. But if Iran notifies jthe council that all its troubles with Russia are settled and requests that the council remove its case from the agenda, Byrnes would be in a very difficult position.

Iranian Ambassador Hussein Ala and his spokesmen refused comment today. He told the council last week that there could be no Soviet Iranian negotiations while foreign troops were on Iranian soil. But he was at least poorly informed because less than 24 hours after he made that statement the Soviet-Iranian agreement on troops, oil and Azerbaijan was announced. Washington, April 8 -(UP) -President Truman'? economic high command warned today that only quick congressional approval of fivefold stabilization legislation can save the nation from the grave danger of explosive inflation in the crucial months ahead. Declaring that inflationary pressures now are many times greater than after World War they told Mr.

Truman that the nation stands at the crossroad one road leading to economic disaster, the other to a future of long-range piosperity. If we are prepared to face the next few critical month's in the same spirit in which we faced the war emergency, and if the necessary legislation is passed, we believe that the last major stumbling block will be behind us, they said. The economic big five economic stabilizer Chester Bowles, OPA administrator Paul Porter, Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson, civilian production chief John D. Small and wage stabilization director W.

Willard Wirtz flashed the danger signals in an annual report on the third anniversary of the hold-the-line order. They urged congress to: 1. Extend the price control act by May 15 at the lilest and without crippling amendments which are now being proposed almost daily. 2. Continue present food subsidies to avoid a.

sharp increase in food prices. 3. Extend the second war powers act beyond its present June 30 expiration so the government can prevent hoarding of materials critically, needed in production of clothing and housing. i 4. Quickly adopt the Patman housing bill because uncontrolled leal estate inflation is a serious threat not only to rent controls, but to the entire stabilization program.

5. Vote the stabilization agencies adequate funds to enforce regulations and enable the agencies to handle their workloads speedily. Bowles and the economic of fi rials said it was their earnest hope that the danger of a severe inflation will have passed by the middle of 1947 if all goes well during the next year. In the meantime, they said, controls should be removed gradually wherever and whenever it is safe to do so. They predicted that by June 30, 1947, only rent controls and some last remnants of price control in a few isolated fields will remain.

Settlement of the Detroit strike reduced the number of idle workers in disputes across the country close to 700,000. Other major developments were: 1.

Attempts to avert a threatened strike against the Cincinnati Gas Electric Co. continued in Washington. 2. The National Labor Relations Board announced it had granted bargaining- rights to supervisory employes who were members of abor union auxiliaries. Coal mine operators hoped that the government would take a more active part in attempts to settle the nationwide strike of 400,000 sof coal miners.

Guarantees that we shall spread the burden of performance of the tasks we have to perform; that we shall not retain in service for a disparate length of time those citizen soldiers already serving.

Eisenhower said that without continuation of the draft, we are taking a gamble which our great nation must not take. In my opinion any gamble with the national security of the United States at this time is a gamble with the peace and security of the world, he said. With all the sincerity and force I possess, I urge you, dp not take this gamble. Eisenhpfrer said that the armys computed needs men en July 1 this year and 1,070,000 on July 1, 1947 were the absolute minimum, based on the most favorable assumptions. At the same time, he said, nobody knew exactly how many inen the army would be short without the draft.
