(By United Press)
The Iranian embassy in Washington announced today that it has killed a complaint with the United Nations against Russia for retaining troops in Iran after March 12 in violation of a 1942 treaty.
The complaint was handed to Tryve Lie, secretary-general of the UNO, soon after his arrival in Washington yesterday.
The state department denied that a White House communication is being considered, but other sources said such an appeal would be a logical last-minute move before the UNO security council meets in New York Monday.

In November, 1940, Richardson and two companions left with a brand new car, overloaded to 6,000 pounds, and returned 11 months later after having prayed, pulled, pushed, and $ ^{\textcircled{2}} $ cussed their way over 14,000 miles roads, swamps, mule trails, and $ ^{\textcircled{3}} $ christened with water from the Straits occu at
Two items of extra equipment were added—an extra 27-gallon fuel tank built in the trunk, and fuel jets installed for crossing the Andes as fuel pumps will not work in extremely high altitudes.
At one time the car had only two years, the muffler was torn off, the clutch burned out, and not a single window intact. Six tires were used in climbing the Andes, slithering through the pampus mud and churning through deep sand.
For long distances, the road was literally built in front of her. In Central America 25 days were required to go 50 miles.
Looking at the car now with its sides crushed (the road got too narrow), minus one and one-half fenders, its windows smashed, it is hard to believe that it can still run. Sullivan estimates that some 30,000 persons have written or scratched their names on its surface.

It's a safe bet, though, that if you would mention another trip to the Horn, you would get a groan from Richardson and a huge back-fire from "Miss Pan America."
Kurland's height advantage was the decisive difference between the two teams, and the Aggies took full advantage of it.
The only consolation in the defeat was that it was "Foothills" Kurland's last game against Kansas. The tallest man on the Aggie squad next year will be six foot nine.

The Jayhawkers were cold, hitting only 13 field goals in 67 shots, while the Cowboys counted 17 goals in 59 tries. The Jayhawkers had very few open shots at the basket and were either off balance or bad to hurry their shots.

The Aggie defense was the best seen all season, as they dogged the Jayhawks constantly and broke up many passes. With Kurland controlling the backboards the Kansaseldom got more than one shot at the basket and were forced to shoot hurriedly.
nitting all hit a beautiful jump shot, Evans added a beautiful back mark manipulated a difficult hand-hander from the right corner of the court to make it a tie game at 10-all, after Kurland had scored a goal and free throw. The score was close, until the Aggies took advantage of the erratic defensive work of the Jayhawkers to build up the seven-point halftime margin.
Kurland tallied seven quick points for the Aggies at the start of the second half on three goals and a free throw to run the score to 30-16, but Black and Evans tallied and Schnellbacher got a tip-in to narrow the margin. Schnellbacher fouled out with six minutes of the second half gone, and the Aggies went ahead to lead by 11 points at the 10-minute mark of the second half.
The Cowboys held this 11 point margin the remainder of the game to make the final score 49-38.

The Jayhawkers played a fine game, but didn't have the height to stop Kurland. Experts agreed that the Jayhawkers should have one of the top teams in the nation next year with last night's starting five returning, along with other veterans of past campaigns.
