Debate for 10 Days
NEW YORK, Oct. I— {JP) —Britain succeeded today in getting the
United Nations, Security Council to take up the British-Iranian oil
dispute, but Iran won a 10-day postponement of debate to permit
a high-ranking Iranian to fly here to present her case
Earlier, the council blocked by
a vote of 9 to 2 a Russian effort
to prevent its considering't h e
British-Iranian dispute-
Jebb openecT the British case
at Flushing Meadow after a hur
ried flight from Britain. He told
the council the Iranian govern
ment is rushing madly down a
steep hill iri pursuit of an illusory
objective and that it is “essential
for f the council to do something
to arrest this apparently suicidal
process.”
When he concluded, Ambassa
dor Ali Gholi Ardalan, Iran’s
permanent representative at the
U.N., said he was empowered to
speak fof his country in this mat
ter. He said Iran’s special repre
sentative would need at least 10
days to reach New' York and
that he, therefore, requested a
postponement.
Jebb, speaking after the Brit
ish had announced they were
evacuating their technicians from
the Abadan refinery this week—
as the Iranian government had
demanded—declared Iran is cre
ating a situation which might
threaten the peace.
