Council Adjourns
Because Secretary of State
Byrnes, British Foreign Secretary
Bevin and Deputy Foreign Minister
Couve De Murville of France saw
the proposals Wednesday for the
first time, there was no action on
any of them. The council adjourned
after approximately three hours
and will meet again tomorrow at 4
p. m. (EST).
As the four foreign ministers
and their aides huddled around the
round, white maple table in the
council chamber, the board issue
was this:
Shall the appointive governor Of
Trieste or the elective assembly
have the final say on its admin
istration?
The three Western powers,
frankly fearful that Yugoslavia
would dominate the assembly
have lined up in support OF veto
powers for the governor. He would
be named and guided by the United
Nations Security council.
On the other hand, Russia - out
spoken champion Of Marshal Tito's
government in international affairs
- has pressed for a limitation on
the governors power and con-
trolling authority by the assembly.
British and United States diplo-
