March 29 WW Secretary of State Byrnes pro posed io ine united nations se curity council today that it try to find out from Russia and Iran whether Russian withdrawal of troops from Iran is "uncondition al." A Tuesday deadline for Secretary-General Trygve Lie to ask the information and report back ' to the council was suggested bv Byrnes. Byrnes offered a plan that at least a majority of the council ". had already agreed upon, after . Hussein Ala, Iranian .ambassa- -dor, had urged the council that it look into Soviet assurances of troop withdrawals. "If the council could obtain more adequate information," Byrnes said, "the council might be able to assure itself that the Soviet withdrawal is in effect an unconditional withdrawal." i Plan Backed As soon as Byrnes finished. Sir Alexander Cadogan of Britain endorsed his proposal. - -Ala had argued that withdraw als should be "voluntary," evi dently suggesting that Russia should hot be allowed to use promises to get the troops out as a bargaining point to . get con cessions out of Iran. Ala informed the United Na tions Security council that he had instructions from his govern ment "to take such action as I flunk necessary to safeguard, the security of my country." ; free nana Speaking before a. public ses sion of the peace-enforcement agency, at which an empty green chair 'filled the table space re served for Russia, Ala disclosed for the first time since the Iran ian wrangle started that he, is op erating under , virtual blank- check powers, v ' -tie jaiade tne statement in re sponse to a question from Polish Ambassador Oscar Lange sub mitted' at a previous meeting, tie then took up another of Lange's questions i whether Russian troops, are withdrawing from Iran. -'', ; -: " - "I have no information," Ala said, "official or otherwise, that any Soviet troops have crossed the border leaving Iran." : I have heard of certain troop movements inside Iran but that does not remove the issue." Iran's appeal to the council for help is based on tne contention that Russian troops are in the country in violation of a treaty and that the resulting dispute with Russia, if not stopped, may lead to a threat to peace.
