New Premier May
Negotiate Directly
With Soviet H (}(
' LONDON, Jan. 26.— (AP) —
Iran’s delegation to the United
Nations asserted in a new note to
the Security Council tonight that
Soviet interference in Iran’s afe
fairs “can be fully proved.”
The new note, dated January
26, was disclosed shortly after
Premier Ahmed Qavem Es Sal
taneh,, a long-time friend of Rus~
sia, was elected new premier of
Iran. Ahmed Qavan announced
he would seek direct negotiations
with Russia on the dispute with
the Soviet Union, giving rise to
speculation that his government
might withdraw or defer action
on the complaint put before the
Security Council.
Russia Opposes Move
The new 2,000-word note, it
was understood, was delviered to
the Council by the Iranian dele
’gation on its own initiative, in
‘reply,to a Russian letter yester
}day. The Soviet letter opposed
Security Council consideration of
Iran’s complaint, on grounds that
lthe Soviet position in Iran was
llegal and justifiable under Sov
jet-Iranian freaty, and fa.vored

by Russia and Iran.

—Maj. Gen. Walter C. Short to
day named Gen. George C. Mar
shall, Lt. Gen. L. T. Gerow and
Maj. Gen. Sherman Miles as the
individuals he had chiefly in mind
when he said the War Department
attempted to make him the
“scapegoat” for the Pearl Harbor
disaster.
He named the individuals in
testimony before the Senate-
House committee investigating the
Japanese attack on the Hawaiian
Islands. g e
Asked by Senator Ferguson (R.-
Mich.) just what he mean by
“Scapegoat” Short replied:
“] meant someone they saddled
the blame on in erder to get it off
themselves.”
The three he named were, re
spectively, Chief of Staff, head of
War Plans and chief of Military
Intelligence in 1941.
Jap Caution Believed
Gen. Short expressed doubt dur
ing today’ hearing—the sixth day
he has been on the witness stand
—that the Japanese would have
attacked Pear]l Harbor had the
Army forces in Hawaii been on an
all-gut alert.
“They would have feared heavy
losses,” Short said. He added that

CIO Accepts Half Original Demand
DETROIT, Jan. 26—(AP)—Chrysler Corp. and the CIO United Auto Workers announced today the
“complete agreement” on wages providing for an increase of 18% cents an hour. The Chrysler-UAW
agreement followed within two hours and 45 minutes upon the ‘settlement of the Ford-Union wage
disputes on the basis of an 18 cents an hour. ! :
The agreement brought to end
two long disputes in the automo
bile industry, leaving only Gen
eral Motors of the Big Three yet
to come to terms with the auto
fumon'.
Roughly, the 18% cents increase
is 16 per cent of the average
Chrysler wage of $1.14. However,
it was pointed out that the various
wage classifications vary 1o a con
.siderable extent.
The settlement as reached by
the representatives of the corpora
tion and the union must receive
formal ratification by the union’s
rank and file, but this was be
[lieved certain. All told, the agree
ment affeciz 48,000 Chrysler pro
duction workers currentiy® em
ployed and will represent an ebti
mated $18,000,000 a year or more
in total increase wages.
The Ford Motor Co. and the CIO
|United Auto Workers settled their
wage dispute with an agreement
for an increase of 18 cents an hour
or 15.1 per cent against an origi
nal union demand for a 30 per
cent rise (approximately 36
cents).
The settlement, which a com
pany estimate said would cost
approximately $39.000,000 annual
ly, was announced following an
unscheduled meeting of company
and union negotiators.
" As in the Ford dispute, the un
ion had demanded 30 per cent in
creages from Chrysler but reduced
the figure to around 18 cents an
hour after the presidential fact
finding board had recommended a
settlement on the basis of 175 per
cent in the case of the UAW-CIO
General Kotors dispute. The GM
dispute still was deadlocked with
175,000 hourly rated workers re
:inaining on strike for the 66th
ay.
The agreement will now be sub
mitted to the UAW-CIO strike
strategy committee and if approv
ed by that body, will be passed on
