THURSDAY. OCTOBER 13. MS Russia Warns Iran On Baghdad Pact LONDON, Oct. 12 VP)—The Soviet Union warned Iran today her action in joining the Baghdad Pact endangers peace in the Middle East. The United States and Iran both rejected the Soviet view. Acting swiftly on the heels of news that Iran was joining Iraq, Turkey, Pakistan and Britain in the pro-Western Middle East defense pact, Soviet Minister V. M. Molotov summoned the Iranian charge d'affaires in the Soviet capital. Molotov told the Iranian diplo mat that by joining the pact Iran was risking the Kremlin's en mity. Molotov also reminded Iran that the Soviet Union claims the right to move troops into the country if Iran violates the 1921 Iran-Soviet treaty. He said an Iranian line-up with the Baghdad Pact would "contradict" the 1921 treaty. The U.S. State Department hailed Iran's action as a step pro moting peace and prosperity in the Middle East and in no way hostile or threatening to anyone. The United States has indicated she intends eventually to become associated with the Baghdad Pact. In Tehran, Premier Hussein Ala asserted the pact is not directed against the Soviet Union or any other country, and that Iran's re lations with the Soviet Union "are of the friendliest nature." Ala described the pact as "purely defensive." Iran's Parliiment has yet to ratify joining the treaty. Molo tov's action, as reported by Mos ; cow radio, appeared aimed at try ing to influence the parliamentary outcome. Ala, however, has al ready dispatched official word to 'Baghdad of Iran's intentions . Molotov told the Iranian diplo mat the Baghdad Pact "meant the formation of a military group ing in the Near and Middle East which is an instrument of certain aggressive circles which are not interested in the consolidation of peace and international security." The 1921 treaty was negotiated when Russia stood in danger of invasion by White Russian Guards bent on overthrowing the revolti ionary regime. Defensemen To Continue Arms Race PARIS, Oct. 12 (Al—Western defense ministers and military chiefs agreed today that their joint defensive - buildup must con tinue at its present tempo until the Soviets back up smiles with concrete deeds. The ministers representing the member nations of the North At lantic Treaty Organization ended a three-day review of the World political and military situation with the unanimous conviction, according to a NATO spokesman, that their present efforts must be maintained until East-West ne gotiations produce definite ac tion. Promises, and a polite new face, from the Communists are not enough to warrant a reduction in the Free World's defense budgets, they concluded. In fact, the recent change in Soviet tactics from grim hostility to apparent geniality is due, they agreed, to the unity and defen sive strength of the Atlantic Al liance. The conclusion from this was that this unity and strength should be reinforced rather than diluted as the West enters Im portant negotiations with the So viets at Geneva on the vital issue of German reunificatiOn and Eu ropean security.

PENNSYLVANIA Group Abolishment Voted by Legion • MIAMI, Fla., Oct. 12 (I7 ,l )—The American Legion today called on Congress to abolish the United States National Commission for United Nations Educational, Sci entific, and Cultural Organization. Withdrawal of the commission would emasculate American par ticipation in the world group. The commission hai appointed 100 members. The measure was carried over whelmingly in a voice vote at the Legion's 37th annual convention. Legion sources said abolishment of the commission would deprive UNESCO of some of America's best educational, scientific and cultural talent. The U.S. government, however, still would be represented offi cially in UNESCO by govern ment delegates. International Cooperation May Be Hurt UNITED NATIONS, N.R., Oct. 12 (W)—Poland's Juliusz Kat z- Suchy warned today the budding spirit of international cooperation will be seriously hampered if Poland loses its bid for the UN Security Council. U.S, Chief Delegate Henry Ca bot Lodge Jr. Who is backing the Philippines against Poland fo r the seat held by Turkey, prompt ly countered that Poland is not fit for the Security Council. • "Communist Poland is clearly not a nation which has contribut ed to international peace and se curity within the meaning of the Charter or which is in position to do so," Lodge said in a statement distributed after Katz-Suchy held a news conference in the UN. Katz-Suchy said Poland has all the necessary qualifications and represents Eastern Europe fa r more than the Philippines. Un der questioning, he said failure to elect Poland would have an effect on cooperation in general, would harm the spirit of Geneva, and would be strongly resented by the Polish people. These statements pointed u p the battle raging between t'w o Geneva partners, the United States and the Soviet Union, on behalf of their favorite candidates. The Soviet Union is the only ' Communist country on the -coun cil. AFL Operators Continue Strike ST. LOUIS, Oct. 12 (A')—Defiant AFL operators, ignoring orders by Gov. Phil M.
