He will turn the mills back and
see what happens, he said.
• lie promised that the nation's
railroads, having reached a wage
settlement yesterday a f ter 21
months in , -federal hands, will be
retrned to private -'management
as quickly as papers can be signed.
Doesn't Expect Reversal

herent seizure power in • the
strongest terms he has used to
date. He implied at his news con
ference that he would - veto any,
act of Congress seeking to outlaw
the seizure technique. .• ,

and he didn't expect the court to

seize, he stated, and they cannot
take it away. Who is "they", Con
gress or the courts? He was asked.
Happy Over Settlement

and he emphasized the nobody—
can take the power away because
it is inherent in the• Constitution,
because the Chief Executive has
the responsibility to see that the
national welfare is met.

Russia Warns iron
Against US. Aid
MOSCOW, Friday, May 23 (A')—Russia, in a stiff note, has pro
tested Iran's acceptance of American military aid and warned that
it works against good relations with Moscow.
The note was delivered by Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky
to the Iranian ambassador here yesterday. It charged that by taking
American military aid Iran had violated the Soviet-Iranian treaty
of 1921.
The Soviet note was published
in all leading newspapers today.
It declared that "by this token
the Iranian army loses its char
acter as a national army of an
independent sovereign state" and
said acceptance of the aid "is put
ting the Iranian army under the
control of the United States gov
ernment."
Russia agcused Iran, her neigh
bor to the south, of co-operating
with the U.S. "in the implementa
tion of the latter's aggressive plans
directed against the Soviet Un
ion."
The treaty which the Soviet
Union claims Iran violated con
tains, a clause giving Russia • a
right to move troops into Iran
if that country's soil is used by
foreign military forces hostile to
Russia.
The Soviet note of protest was
delivered just four weeks after
the U.S. resumed military aid to
Iran. It had been cut , off Jan. 14
when Iran refused to sign an
agreement pledging to help in-
