Voting Upho|ds
Big4on Trieste,
Italian Border
Russio Helps Defeat
II Proposals for
French Line Change
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Sept. 20.-The Paris
Peace Conference today upheld
the Big Four agreements on the
n-Yugoslav boundary and
the borders of the future free
state of Trieste, as the Italian
Political and Territorial Com
mission beat down in vote after
vote every effort to revise the
proposed frontiers.
Faithful to her Big Four commit
ments, Russia cast her ballot against
the boundary revisions, even though
some Of them were proposed by the
Slav bloc, which she frequently has
backed.
Edward Kardelj, Deputy Premier
OF Yugoslavia, declared after the
voting that he regretted the COM
mission preferred the method of
the vote instead of conciliation" and
insisted that his earlier remarks,
IN which he declared Yugoslavia
would not sign treaty which she
considered unfair" be entered in
the commissions records.
Ballots IL Times.
The commission balloted II times
on proposals to change the borders
Of the internationalized, free area of
the port of Trieste, fixed by the Big
-Four along the so-called French
line and bounded on the north by
line drawn from Duino to the
French line, voting down all of them,
except one, by 13-to-5 count.
White Russia, Poland, Czecho-
slovakia, the Ukraine and Yugo-
slavia voted for the proposed
changes in most cases and Belgium
and Ethiopia abstained. On the
other proposal, one by South Africa
to enlarge the area so as to include
Pola and other Italian cities down
the 1strian peninsula, the vote was
IL to 6, with Australia, Brazil, Can
ada, New Zealand and the Neither
lands supporting South Africa
Belgium and China abstained.
In that vote it was the other
three Big Four members who re-
manned faithful to their commit
ments, since the South African pro-
posal embodied the original ideas
OF Britain, France and the United
States on the border question.
Sought to Avoid Showdown.
Czechoslovakia earlier had sought
to avoid a showdown on the border
issues by proposing establishment
of a special subcommission COM
posed of White Russia, Canada
China, Ethiopia and Yugoslavia to
work out a stable solution" salts
factory to all, but that was beaten
10 to 7, with Belgium, France and
Ethiopia abstaining, and India and
the Slav countries, including Russia
voting for it.
The other amendments, proposed
by Yugoslavia and White Russia
would have moved the Italian -Yugo-
slav border westward at Italy's ex.
pense and trimmed the free state
area to the city limits of Trieste

(Mr. Wallace's) mind the most i'm
portant issue of the campaign is the

Niagara Crumb|es,
Cutting American Fa||s
To Horseshoe Contour
l20-Foot Section Drops,
Shaking Buildings With
Earthquake Violence
BY tho Associoted Press

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Sept
20.-A huge portion of the brinl
of the American falls collapsed
today, shaking this city with
earthquake intensity as it tun-
bled down the 168-foot face ot
the cataract.
Witnesses said a section of the
rock wall 120 feet in length at the
top and about 80 feet across at the
bottom of the falls tumbled into the
gorge shortly after 10 am. with q
terrific roar.
They said it was this side of the
V-shaped section which broke off
in 1912.
Falls Assume Horseshoe Contour.
Tony Guinta, member of the
Niagara Falls Gazette staff, said the
blast Shook hell out of the city
Our building shook like a maple
leaf In a breeze"
A Gazette photographer said he
had taken air views of the falls this
morning and that the American
falls, previously almost straight, had
taken on a horseshoe contour SINH
lar to that of the Canadian counter
part across the Niagara Gorge.
Residents of the city, crowded
with tourists and honeymooners,
said the shock was felt particularly
in the northern section.
No Change in Flow Of River.
State reservation officials said
they were unable to determine the
size of the rock fall because OF
dense spray which obscured the
cataract.
No alteration in the flow Of the
river over the cataract was immedi-
ately apparent, and officials said the
only accurate determination would
be made by taking a photograph and
comparing it with previous photo
graphs.
The officials said if the shock was
caused by rock fall, the fragment
apparently was smaller than those
which broke from the Canadian
cataract rim in 1881 and the Amer
ican falls in 1887. In the former in
stance 10000 tons of rock fell, while
the 1887 fall altered the flow of the
cataract.
Residents in wide area reported
that plaster in their house cracked
dishes fell from shelves and pic
lures shifted.

be placed on an Army C,54 trans
port plane and flown to Gander.
The helicopter was needed to take
of badly injured persons, the Coast
Guard said, but could not fy to
Newfoundland quickly enough. Of
ficials estimated 1t would arrive at
Gander about 1 am. tomorrow.
The Coast Guard received all In
formation from a rescue party
which reached the scene in wooded,
broken country about 40 miles
southwest Of Gander last night.
The search party had lost COM
munication soon after it's arrival
as a result of radio breakdown.
One rescue party reached the
wreckage, % miles southwest Of
Gander, last night and another
party Of 30 to 40 men was pushing
in from another direction.

age at the end of a 50O-yard swath
OF smashed trees, said seven sur
vivors had been seen, three at the
scene of the crash and four others
walking about miles away.
A second TWA pilot who flew over
the wreck yesterday said the plane
apparently struck a 300-foot slope
about 20 miles from the Gandef
Airfleld in heavily wooded section
while making a gradual turn back
toward Gander.
All in Pile on Slope.
Everything left of the plane N

this pilot, Capt. William Rea
of Takoma Park, Md, said. "As
he Capt. Jean Ester, pilot Of the
airliner hit he chopped of trees
for some distance. 1t appeared he
caught fire and the cabin was com.
pletely destroyed. The tail section
looked to be in fairly good shape.
The rest seemed to be completely
destroyed.
Il could see engines In the woods
but not much of the airplane. The
clearing it made was the only one
within 8 miles. The plane cut
swath about so to 100 feet wide and
about IS feed long before it struck"
The Coast Guard said its North

Plainly, when effort is designed and carried on to
defeat democratic functoning places itself in the cate

The ilibusterers allowed the privilege of endless and

that ought to be wiped out without any further ring
Let hope that the majority vote in the Senate last
