Diplomats In Trieste
Alert, Tension Mounts
Continued from Page One)

his attempts to reach a peaceful
solution with Tito had failed and
that he now was waiting to see
whether the Yugoslav leader would
resort to force.
The message was heard here in
British Broadcasting Co. broad
cast. There seemed little doubt
that it was getting serious consid-
GRAFTON by Tito's general staff.
At the time the British military
negotiations here with Tito broke
off, a government source told this
correspondent that an agreement
had been reached on the basis OF
Tito's demands that his troops re-
main in Trieste while giving the
Allies the use Of the port.
(The Allies insist that the port
is needed to supply their troops
in the occupation of southern Aus
tria.
Meanwhile, the Yugoslav agency
Tanyug carried Tito's reply to
Alexander's message to his troops.
Il cannot help displaying dis
pleasure and surprise" Tanyug
quoted Tito as saying, Eat such an
impossible comparison in which
the presence of Yugos1av troops
in the Istria and Slovenian coast
land is likened to the methods Of
occupations Of Hitler, Mussolini
and Japan"
Alexander said that Tito ap-
parently intended to back Yugoslav
claims to parts of northeastern
Italy and southern Austria by force,
an action which would be "a1l too
reminiscent Of Hitler, Mussolini
and Japan"
Such an accusation may be
thrown into the face Of an enemy"
said Tito, "but not an Allied coun.
try which has suffered and which
gave SO much blood and which was
acknowledged by everyone as an
example Of courage and suffer
ing in great liberating war"
The agency reported that Tito
then asserted that the presence OF
his troops in the territory under
dispute Cannot be considered as
conquest and that he denied en-
ergetically that there was any
basis "for such an accusation"
Il say again" Tito continued,
that the Yugoslav army and Yu-
goslavia are prepared to collabor-
ate with the Allied forces and
countries, but at the same time
say that Yugoslavia cannot per-
init itself to, be humbled and its
rights denied"

BIG FIVE AGREES
ON ARMS POLICY

Andrea Gromyko, chairman Of the
Russian delegation, brought that
word to a Big Five meeting yester.
day.
The Russians sought som e
changes which were at first be-
lieved to have been material in
nature. Later they were discover.
ed to have involved only minor
variations in wording.
The regional arrangements pro-
posal was reported to be accept
able to the Latin American ma.
tions. They have been demanding
that some provision be made in
the world charter to permit opera
ton Of the inter-American defense
agreement of the act Of Cha
pultepec.
Differences between American
and Russian views on regional
security were so slight, it was
learned, that the Russian delega.
ton at first wasn't sure there were
any.
When Gromyko presented Mos.
COWS idea to the Big Five last
night, it was learned that Vanden-
berg asked him:
Just what is the difference be-
tween the American proposal and
yours?'
Gromyko said he didn't know
what, if any, differences existed.
The conference itself took its
usual Sunday off. Most delegates
had time to catch up on sleep or
to 60 sightseeing or partying.
Attempts to reach decisions on
such fundamental points as biz
power veto rights, trusteeships and
regional security had come to a
standstill pending the clarified ton
of Russian views.
The Latins in particular didn't
want to vote on big.nation pro-
posals on other issues until thew
were sure the Soviets wouldn't on.

The report came close on the

CANINE CAB FARES


Are you having trouble exer.
cising your dog? Are you unable
to take him out Is regularly as
you should? Here is method
Of exercising him that seems to
be growing rather widespread
throughout the country.
DOG owners contact and make an
agreement with 4 tAxicab driver.
Each day at a certain hour, the
cab driver draws up in front Of
the dog owners home. In a min
ute or two a little dog is seen
trotting out Of the house, hopping
into the cab and riding off in it.
The cab driver takes the canine
fare to a nearby park where he
then stops and allows the dog to
romp and play. After a certain
length Of time he returns the ami
NAL to his home. To me this is
good idea in normal times, but in
these days Of tire and gas short
ages, l think it extremely foolish.
What DO you think?
TO MAKE Dogs
EARS STAND UP
Owners Of the dog breeds that
normally should carry their ears
standing erect begin to worry when
their pets are four or five months
Of age At that age most dogs are
cutting their permanent teeth and
their ears have a tendency to
droop. Usually as soon as the
teeth are in, the ears will again
stand up. However, if the ears
persist in dropping, here Is a sug-
gestion that is practical and alb
solutely safe:
Take a turkey or goose wing
feather; use the light end, cut to
the shape Of the top of the ear and
long enough to reach the base on
the outside. Put a thin coating Of
shellac on the ear and on the
feather, then press the feather
firmly to the outside Of the ear. II
should dry in three or four min.
utes. Leave II on the dog Tor at
least ten days. Remove the feath-
er and shellac with a little al
cohol.
