New England Week Beinq Celebrated
 Use Air Mails This
 Week To Boost
 Future Plans

Waterburians were urged to mail at least one air mail letter this week by postal authorities today to help celebrate New England Air Mail Week. This will not only help make the occasion a success, but will enable the officials to deter mine public interest in the exten- sion of air mails, Postmaster Charles A. Babin said. It will pro- vide a basis for further considera- tion of means and methods of handling air mail volumes in post offices that will make frequent plane dispatches in the future.
 Describing the expansion of the use of air mails in recent years, the postmaster said that in 1889 one New England airfield dispatched eight million air mail pieces. Last year the same field dispatched 82 million air mail letters and re- ceived Il million letters by air
 From a single air trip in and out of Boston daily in 1926, over 55 trips daily are now made in and out of New England, Babin added. The original air mail trip from Boston to New Brunswick, N. J., took three hours, while the same trip, now stopping at New York City, with ten times heavier mail load plus passengers, is less than one hour.
 During New England Air Mail Week new direct service will be instituted to many additional for eign countries, revealed the post master. Air mail service from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast has been accomplished in almost one day, a saving of four days over sur- face means of transportation With in short time, the giant skyliners will be supplemented by smaller pickup planes and helicopters and will reach into hundreds of com- munities to appellate the mails, forecast Postmaster Babin.

Circus Dog Succumbs To Rabies
 Dr.. Godfrey Issues
 Warning to city's
 Dog Owners

Dr. E. J. Godfrey city health of ficer today asked all dog-owners to take special precautions in deter mining the general health condition of their pets. A positive case of dumb rabies" was discovered in a, trick show dog presented here last week with the circus.
 While there is absolutely no cause for alarm 1t would be wise for dog owners to take cognizance of the condition of their pets," Dr. Godfrey said. Tt is very doubtful of this dog came in contact with others but We must not ignore the probability" The dog developed the symptoms last week and was taken to Dr. Beers local veternarian who pro- nounced the animal victim of dumb rabies" These type rabies are distinguished, and so named, by the fact the victim does not become ex- cited but merely succumbs to the illness entering state of sem1-con- sciousness. The dog was destroyed.
 The state laboratory at Hartford confirmed the diagnosis today. Dr Godfrey has notified state health authorities who, in turn will notify the dogs owner, Albert Spillers, now travelling with the circus in Maine Spillers also presented the trained | seal act.

Big 4 May Split Peace Conference
 Time Remoining
 Short Before UN
 Assembly Convenes

Paris, July 2-GUP)-With a Big 4 compromise on Trieste apparent ly within sight speculation eentered today on the possibility that the proposed 21-nation full dress peace conference may be split into two sessions.
 It was suggested that the first seS- sion might be held before the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York in September with a second session following the New York meeting.
 This suggestion was advanced by observers who believed that the time remaining would be too short for a full dress conference to complete all tle details of the peace treaties for Italy and the Axis satellites.
 Brynes Talks To Kardelj
 Another alternative would be to start the full dress conference in Paris and wind it up in New York concurrently with the General As Sembly meeting.
 Secretary of State James F. Byrnes conferred at length today with Vice Premier Edouard Kardelj of Yugo- slavia on the impending Trieste compromise. --.
 Kardelj was believed to have made a last minute effort to persuade Byrnes to support a settlement on Trieste more favorable to Yugoelav- ia, in so far as the adjacent Vene- zia Giula area is concerned.
 There were some indications that ByrneS might make another effort to get decision on internationaliz- ing Trieste thrown into the 21-na- ton peace conference.
 Many Details To Thrash
 In any event there are a number of details to be worked out, partic- ularly as to how the internationaliz- ed area will be administered
 The foreign ministers were agreed on the boundary between Italy and Yugoslavia-the line proposed by the French-and their differences over Trieste seemed to be narrowed down so that little danger remained of failure to reach a final com- promise agreement
 Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov of Russia opened the gate for the spurt of progress by the ministerial coun- Gil. Backing down from his hitherto adamant demands that Yugoslavia get all of Venezia Giula, he sudden ly agreed to the French proposed frontier, to which America and Bri- tain already had assented, and to the permanent irternationalizatio of Trieste

WooIen-Worsted Goods Expected
 To Keep Level

New York. July 2-UP)-Arthur Besse, president of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, said today that the removal of price controls should not result in gen. eral increases" in Woolen and wor- sted piece goods prices.
 Although number of sellers have escalator clauses in their pres ent sales contracts, he said it is un- likely that there will be any wide use of such provisions.
 Besse predicted that the end of price control will result in the return of certain standard fabrics which were dropped because of various O.P.A, controls.
 If O.P.A. is permitted to die these fabrics will gradually reap pear he said "a more normal pro- duction, better calculated to satis- fy the desires of the apparel trade and of the public, will result. Prices of fabrics being currently manufac- tured show little or no change"

policy of our government be term mated. since there are certain coun- tries today who have respect for the United States solely because of our military might"
 Russian People Friendly
 Tt is interesting to note" Con- greSsman Ryter continued, that the Russian people as whole are extremely friendly to the United States. It is only a small clique of individuals there who are constant ly prodding the people along and portraying our stand in wrong light
 Senator McMahon replied: If we got the iron curtain rolled up for free interchange of visitors, ideas and broadcastS, our troubles would, for all practical purposes, disappear in very short order"
 T firmly believe that our report has helped along those lines Con- greSSman Ryter said
 Both Senator McMahon and Con- gressman Ryter asserted that world conditions today necessitated trav- cling by members of Congress.
 Must Know the World
 The Requirements of 20 or 30 years ago, where the necessity for having first-hand information was not so great, have changed tre- mendously" Senator McMahon ob- served. Today, if you are going to deal with the world, as we must, you have to know the world It seems to me you did a fine thing as member of the Foreign Affairs Committee to go to Europe to see what you could
 Voicing his assent with the need for first-hand information, Con- gresSman Ryter said: You are faced with the alternative of rely ing upon the handouts of various government bureaus and, if you have no other information to the contrary, you must take them at face value. These trips give ade- quate opportunity to test the state ments and handouts of the various bureaus

Baldwin 

Hartford, July 2-UP)-Gov. Baldwin remained convinced today that his emergency war powers would not allow him to freeze rents, despite telegram from Economic Derector Chester BoWles urging him to do so
 BoWles sent a wire to Baldwin, and 46 other governors, asking him to freeze rents at their OPA level.
 The Governor believes, after two conferences with State officials, special session of the legislature would be necessary to enact state control laws. Such a session, he said, he is ready to call if Con- gress fails to act soon.
 Baldwin also is prepared to use his wartime powers to halt any wholesale eviction of tenants.
 The Governor has received more than 100 telegrams from individuals and organizations throughout the state asking reStora ton of price control. One wire reported a rental increase from $40 to S100 a month.
 Many retailers were pledging to hold prices down. and some an- nounced that their present stock would be sold at OPA rates. Most noticeable boost was in milk where a two cents hike was general.
 Some of the most spectacular fluctuations were noted in the use car market where dealer said he could name any price I wanted"
 In general however, the senti- ment throughout tie state was wait and see Most retailers were marking time, no wishing to an- ta9onize their customerS-at least, not as long as there was a chance OPA was only dormant and not dead.

Wild Chaos Predicted
 For Region

Boston, July , - fUP) - Retail prices in New England remained faYly close to OPA levels today while governors of the six states tried to slave off rent increases un- til possible Congressional action.
 Though only scattered increases in cost of food and other commodi- ties had bee nreported, there were predictions of wild chaos and a wave of strikes if the upward spiral of prices continues.
 Milk prices already jumped two cents a quart in Connecticut and the New England Milk Producers Association planned series of meetings to consider prices boosts in the other states. Cost of bread flour also jumped in Connecticut and one authority said the New England convention of miilers eX- pected to increase the price of bread to IS cents a loaf.
 Egg Prices Up
 Egg prices rose a half cent on the Boston market and there were slight increase in the price Of oranges and lemons.
 John P. Mcbride of the State Di- vision of the NecesSaries of Life predicted wild chaos. if retailers raise prices before Congress takes action and President Joseph Sal efno of the State CIO. said that if prices go up, labor and every one else working for wage will be forced to demand more pay"
 Lack of effective price controls promotes strikes, he said.
 Despite Gov. Maurice J. Tobln'S war emergency proclamations freez- ing rents and forbidding eVictions, more than 5000 increases and threats of eviction were reported in Massachusetts. That was double the daily average in the state under OPA.
 The governor advised all tenants to refuse to pay rent increases and his second executive order prevent ed the eviction of anyone from homes, apartments, hotels and room ing houses.
 Governor Tobin said the present situation doesn't call for a speeia session of the legislature but that he would call one if the imitation situation should get out of hand.
 He urged the citizens of Massa- chusetts in radio speech to write to their congressman for re-estab- lishment of reasonable price con trols as soon as possible.
 The other New England gover nors also promised to call specia sessions of their legislatures if Fed eral action is not forthcoming.

Trieste Put On Rotions By Rioting
 Americon Soldiers
 In Full Wor Kit
 Keep Alert in City

Trieste. July 2- tUP) - Tension eased in riot-torn Trieste today but precautions were taken for a mas sive demonstration of pro-Slavs planned for the funeral late today of a Slav laborer, Giorgio Giorgi- utti, whom the Slavs charge was slain by Italian controlled local police"
 Shops reopened today after the general strike and streetcars were running. However, some pro-Slav groups still refused to return to work
 Some local workers aided German prisoners of war in unloading an American ship in port but most port workers had not returned and six UNRRA ships were idle for the second day.
 British and American troops patroled the city without arms, in- dicating the reduction in tension.
 News of the near agreement at Paris on Trieste has not yet ap- peared here due to delays in trans hitting the news.
 United States soldiers got an- other workout late last night when they scattered 2,OO0 Slovenes and Communists milling in the Garibal- di Piazza, where nine American and British soldiers were wounded in the first phase of the Trieste riot ing.
 Amirecan troops in six-wheeled Army trucks with four screaming sirens each were wheeled around the fringe of the crowd. They pressed the demonstrators into the side Streets, and finally dispersed then just before midnight.
 General Strike Continues
 The Slovene controlled Ant Fascist Union announced that its general strike would continue today That meant the city would be para lyzed for the second straight day since the union controls most of the workers.
 The general strike was spreading through Venezfa Giulia province despite the fact that the Italian controlled elements had withdrawn their participation.
 The creeping paralysis posed an imminent threat to cityWide hun ger, Already the population as a whole was on limited diet. Many homes had low or barren cupboards, since the intense heat forced all householders who generally lack re- frigeration to buy food on a day to day basis
 The night demonstration at Gari- baldi Piazza followed the genera lines of one in the same place a day earlier. in which the Americans were wounded when a grenade ex- ploded.
 Hold Off 1000
 U. s. and British soldiers. fully armed and backed up by three ar mored cars carrying 37-millimetel guns, held off the 2OOO persons seeking to get demonstration go. ing in the square.
 The demonstrators were in ar ugly mood, aggraved by the wound. ing of II Slovenes by gunflre anc the Wrecking of six Slovene ol Communist business places during a day of Italian Anti Communis manifestations.
 After soldiers and demonstrator! churned indecisively through tht square for hours, { the American trucks made their dramatic appear. ance and the incident was over.
 Late yesterday U. s. troops O. the lst Battalion, 349 Regiment, 88tt Division, were called out to dea with an inf1amed group of Italian youths attacking Communist head quarters on the Corso Cavour.
 Two U. s. officers fired a volley of pistol shots in the air to dis l perse the crowd.
