II. LAWRENCE New York Times Service NEW YORK Certain defeat for the Soviet Union in its attempt to remove the Iranian case from the United Nations Security Council agenda was delayed, if not averted. Trygve Lie, UN secretary general, surprised the Council with an unsolicited legal opinion. He declared that "it may well be that there is no way" by which the Council can legally keep its eye on the situation in Iran until the Red Army completes its evacuation. HE'S ACTION, marking the first time the secretary general had used his office in an attempt to influence a decision by the Council, came at a time when eight of the Council's 11 members had lined up against the Russian motion and were ready to vote.

It was decided, however, to send his letter to. the Council's committee of experts for study, with instructions to report not later than Thursday. The Council itself will meet at p. m. Wednesday to take up the equally controversial issue, raised by Poland, of whether the Franco regime in Spain is a threat to international peace and security.

When the committee of experts is ready to report, and few believed that there was much chance of their agreeing, the Spanish case will be laid aside temporarily perhaps Wednesday or Friday. The Council then will resume its discussion of the Iranian case, with the United States and Great Britain continuing to press for retention of the issue on the agenda until Soviet forces are completely out of Iran.

SCORE STANDS 1,331 Tigers Whip Browns for 52,118 Fans Record Turnout Sees Newhouser.Foil Jinx BY LYALL S3HTH Free Press Sports Editor The Tigers opened a new season just like they ended the old one: Hank Greenberg hit a home run off Pitcher Nelson Potter to defeat the St. Louis Browns. The final score was 2 to 1 with Harold Newhouser, the brilliant Detroit southpaw, fashioning a fancy six-hitter before a record opening-day throng of 52,118 at Briggs Stadium. Greenberg, the hitter, and Newhouser, the pitcher! They were the heroes exactly 197 day ago Sept.

THAT WAS the last day of wartime baseball when Greenberg belted his four-bagger off Potter with the bases loaded in the ninth inning to give Detroit a 6-3 victory and the American League pennant.

The score was tied at 1-1 when Hank leaned into the ball. He drove it on a line into the left-field stands at the 850-foot mark. That run gave Newhouser, the twenty-four-year-old native De-troiter, his first and only lead of the game. He baffled the Brownies the rest of the way in the samel style that won him the American League's most valuable player award for the last two seasons. POTTER WAS brilliant, too.

He held the Tigers to six hits but walked fre- men to only two for Newhouser. 'The first Tiger run came in the second. Greenberg's homer came in the fourth, and that was all. It marked the first time in the nine years Newhouser has played professional baseball that he has won his opening game. At the same time, it chased a jinx that has kept the Tigers from winning their opener since Tommy Bridges beat Chicago in 1938.

declared T. J. of a Phillips, 28, of Series Iowa City, la. He said he was annoyed by their frivolity and lack of interest in anything but the opposite sex. "It is a little startling the way some women have eased up on morals and drinking," stated Meredith Greer, 20, of 5144 Horger, Dearborn.

"They got sort of mixed up during the war, what with the man shortage. Now they think the returning service man is used to sex relations and some of them are wiling to make concessions in order to keep their men." "CO-EDS ARE as easy conquests as the pickups around Ypsilanti," spoke up William Horowitz, 23, of New York City. "Just get 'em out 4 of Ann Arbor and they're, yours!" Denying that- promiscuity was a common practice among U. of M. women, Martha Sanders, 22, of Sherrill, N.

"WE'VE STOPPED wearing jeans and are dressing to attract the object of our affection," one engaged co-ed reported. "Maybe we shouldn't slug them on the head, though," a sorority sister added. Dean of Women Alice C. Lloyd declared there "might be some moral breakdown due to the war." She said veterans were inclined to see only the one kind of girls.

"The situation is not alarming," she "There is some concern over the drinking problem but we feel that will straighten out." SHERMAN MORTENSON, Ann Arbor chief of police, said veterans were causing no trouble, either from a morals or drinking standpoint. "Some of the boys like to put away a little beer on Saturday night, but they aren't rowdy," he said. Student offenders are turned over to University officials. In cases where they become "cocky," they are put in the Ann Arbor jail for a few hours, he said. Thursday: No more rah rah.

Reuther, newly elected UAW (CIO) president, presented his executive board with a program that seemed likely, for the time being at least, to solidify dissident elements on the board. Following an earlier expression from George F. Addes, UAW (CIO) secretary-treasurer, that he expected a harmonious board meeting, Reuther's nonpartisan stand allayed fears that the union was headed for internecine warfare.

REUTHER'S program encom passed such noncontroversial points as a UAW (CIO) membership drive into the "white collar," farm implement and skilled trades fields. He also pledged: Appointments to the union payroll would be "made on the basis of merit not on how someone voted at the convention;" close co-operation with the CIO and the CIO's PAC; intensification of the drive for an industrywide wage. Reuther said industrywide wages could not be achieved overnight. He said the union would first establish corporation-wnde agreements where multiple plant units exist. OTHER POINTS in the Reuther program covered his views on the controversial subject of company seejjrity and the relation of prices to wages.
