That appeared to end any idea that Russia would have any part of the treaty, especially when Dulles responded with a denun ciation of communist aims in Asia. Acheson told his news confer ence that while Malik's action was very disappointing. He hoped it would riot continue to be the atti tude of the Soviet government. He reported that Dulles, as Pres ident Truman's special represen tative in the treaty preparations, is now trying to put together an actual text. And the secretary added there is no reason why this text should be found objection able by the Soviet or any other government. With this renewed bid for So viet cooperation Acheson coupled an endorsement of the attack on Moscow's motives which Dulles made in an address at Philadel phia this week. The secretary termed entirely sound an obser vation by Dulles that "the despots would murder peace." Acheson told reporters alsO he hoped very much that Britain and Iran can work out a solution of their difficulties over Iranian oil which would benefit both and keep the flow of oil to those mar kets to which it has gone in the past. This would avoid any diver sion to Russia,, a threatened result of the Iranian Parliament this week to nationalize the rich hold ings of the Anglo-Iranian Oil com pany. Friday \& Sunday 8:22 P.M.
