The Iranian delegation, which appealed to the council a week ago to Intervene in the Soviet-occupizone of northern Iran, said new instructions were expected over the week end. h, Officials predicted that who is known to back friendly relations with Russia, would order the case either dropped or shelved while he negotiated directly with Moscow for a settlement. Direct negotiation was advocated by Russia In a letter to the security council yesterday. Russia denied charges of interference in the internal affairs of Iran and said she was categorically opposed to council consideration of the Case. One possibility known to have received consideration by Britain is that if the Iranian case is withdrawn from the council by the Iranians themselves, it might be refiled by some other nation on the ground that the dispute endangers world peace and security. This was the ground on which the Soviet Union and the Ukraine asked the council to investigate British activities in Greece and the Dutch East Indies.
