Show IRAN ISSUE OF DISPUTE GOES OVER TO UNO Chickens threatened to come home to roost recently as Iran dropped the troublesome issue of its dispute with Russia into the ' new and not yet elastic lap of the UNO General Assembly and the old bugbear of mandates and trusteeships continued to disturb the peaceful outlook of the infant peace organization. Under prompting prompt-ing from its home government, the Iranian delegation had presented the delegates of 51 nations with somothing like a time bomb in an- nouncing that it would look to the UNO for settlement of the whole question of the Azerbiajan separatist separ-atist movement and continued Russian occupancy of sections of the country a problem which already al-ready had been cautiously juggled and side-stepped by the world's leading powers. Meanwhile, although al-though Britain had made a clear-cut clear-cut offer to place three African mandates under the UNO, and had indicated further willingness to yield all mandate, includings Palestine, the question of trusteeship trustee-ship was another murky blindspot on the UNO horizon. Developments which found the United States f av- I oring sole trusteeship of Pacific Islands won from Japan, and Russia Rus-sia reportedy moving into the Kuriles Island chain, guarding the approaches to Siberia, had not helped matters, and the whole trusteeship problem loomed as dangerous to . the harmonious course of UNO relationships.
