Tell UNO About Iran U.S., Britain Insist
Tehran. (UP)—American and British sources reported today that the Russians had been drilling for oil in the occupation area of Northern Iran which they now have begun evacuating.
BULLETIN
New York. (UP) — The United States and Great Britain today vigorously opposed a Soviet Union motion to remove the Iranian case from the United Nations security council, and insisted that any agreement for removal of Russian troops be reported in full to the council.
Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, who came here to conduct the American side of the debate, snapped back at once;
The debate over Iran started immediately after Soviet Ambassador Andrei A. Gromyko officially notified the 11-nation council that a Soviet-Iranian agreement had been reached.
Sir Alexander Cadogan, the British representative, strongly supported Byrnes, and insisted that "complete details" he submitted.
"If there has been an agreement we certainly want to hear that fact from the Iranian government. We must give Iran a chance to say if an agreement has been reached."
"I if an agreement has been reached, both parties should be happy to come before the council," he said.
Cadogan warned that the council must be fully acquainted with the text of the agreement because it was reached while Soviet troops were on Iranian soil. The British say the council must be assured beyond any doubt that the agreement was not extracted from Iran by duress.

21 Faculty Members Will Supervise New Sunnyside Units
Your professor may be your housemother if you choose to live in one of the Sunnyside housing units. Supervision of the 21 units will be offered as housing inducements to prospective University faculty members, Irvin Youngberg, director of housing, said today.
The Sunnyside housing units to be constructed south of the University by the Federal Public Housing Authority will accommodate about 900 unmarried students, Mr. Youngberg estimated. Supervision of these 900 students will be the problem of 21 persons.
"These supervisory jobs will be offered to faculty members as a way of beating the housing shortage in Lawrence. The teaching loads of nearly all departments will not be able to stand the expected increase of students without an increase of faculty and those new staff members must have someplace to live," he explained.
Residents will be able to swap war experiences with all their neighbors but possibly not with their supervisors because the supervisory positions are the only ones that may be filled with non-veterans.
Mr. Youngberg has received three applications for positions as supervisors from faculty members who are now teaching but are not housed.
Sunnyside Surveying Nearly Completed
The apartment units will consist of a living room and kitchen downstairs and a bedroom upstairs. The kitchen will be converted into a study room with study tables, since no cooking will be allowed. Four students will be assigned to each bedroom which will be furnished with two doubledeck beds.
Surveying was nearly completed today for the Sunnyside addition south of the center of the campus, where 110 demountable housing units will be erected for veteran students this summer.

'China Like U.S. After Revolution'
Relations between America and Russia serve as a "fever chart" to indicate the condition of Chinese politics, Owen Lattimore, former political adviser to Chiang Kai-Shek, asserted in the final lecture of the University lecture series in Hoch auditorium last night.
He compared China's position now with that of the United States after the Revolutionary war.
"We can look for politics which originate in China and are not injected into China by America, Russia, or any other outside agent," he contended. "But clean, free, political factors in China cannot exist without understanding between Russia and America."
"You will get a leveling off of the political situation in China if the Russian and American relations can be leveled off at the United Nation Organization conference in New York," Mr. Lattimore stated, "However, if there is bad feeling between America and Russia, there is a temptation to the Chinese in their own domestic policies to try to get Russian assistance for one side and American assistance for the other."
Independents To Consider Merger Plans Thursday
"It is to our advantage that China be strong," Mr. Lattimore remarked, "built up from her potential stature to an actual status as a great power."
Three plans for merging the I.S.A. and the Independents organization will be presented at a joint meeting at 7.30 p.m. Thursday in the Men's lounge of the Memorial Union, according to Lorraine Carpenter, I.S.A. president.
George Yeekel and Paul Briley were sworn in as senior and junior representatives respectively at an IS.A. meeting last night.
Miss Veta Lear, assistant to the dean of the College, is helping the I.S.A. to organize a bridge tournament to begin the first week in April, Miss Carpenter said.
