Iran seeks 10 day delay on oil dispute at UN

An Iranian spokesman said Iran would ask the United Nations Security Council for a ten day postponement of debate on the British Iranian oil dispute. Ambassador Ali Gholi Ardalan spoke as delegates gathered to consider Britain's appeal for action to restore Britain's position in Iran. Russia objected to debate before the council saying Britain's complaint interferes in Iran. Ardalan said the delay would allow a high ranking official to arrive and speak for Iran. Britain prepared a long speech if the council acts now. Britain announced its personnel in Abadan would be withdrawn by Thursday, with many oil workers to Basra. Iran insisted on the expulsion despite pending council action. Deputy Premier Hossein Fateh said the Security Council has no power to recommend lifting the expulsion.
