Peace Farley Speeding Up
 Russia Supports
 Big 4 on Trieste

Paris, Sept. 10-(UP)-Ihe Peace Conference launched a speed-up procedure today designed to con- plete the treaties for Italy, Bulgaria. Hungary, Romania and Finland be- fore the proposed Oct. g deadline for the meeting of the United Ma tions General Assembly.
 The commissions which are draft ing the treaties fixed Oct 5 as the date on which they would complete their work and turn over recommen- ded versions to the plenary 21-Na- tion conference.
 It was hoped that all major dif- ferenceS would be ironed out in the commissions so that the conference could turn over its final recommen- dationS within the IS days between Oct. and the Oct. g opening date for the LIN.
 First Speed-up moves came in the Italian Political Commission where the United States withdrew its pro- poSalS for specific boundaries be- tween Italy and Yugoslavia and be- tween Italy and Trieste.
 The Italian Commission then ap- pointed a special eight-nation sub- committeee to prepare from four al- ternate drafts statute for the pro- posed free territory of Trieste.
 Russia also made plain that she STill stick on Trieste despite YugoSlav ment on Trieste despite YugoslaM efforts to alter the plan.
 Withdrawal of the American pro- posalS was believed to indicate that the Big Four deputies have agreed on a definition of the Trieste and 1talo- Yugoslav boundary lines.

Youngsters Stump WATR With 'KOmikUiz' AnsWers

If you hear passers-by heatedly discussing how many doughnuts Henry really was carrying, don't suspect them of being a little on the balmy side. Chances are they are simply talking about the first Democrat Komikwiz which was broadcast last night over Station WATR.
 As a result of being quick on the draw three Waterbury youngsters are today the proud owners of original drawings by one of the famous artists who draw The Dem ocrat's comic strips. Joan Zappone of 45 Gilbert Street was the first winner to call and report that Henry had six doughnuts.

Striking Mariners Boycott WSB Suruey

Washington, Sept. 10-(UP)-Pa- cific shipowners today urged the Wage Stabilization Board to re- verse wage decision which touched of the nations worst shipping strike, arguing that such action would end the walkout and avert "at least two others"
 They presented their case, and that of two striking A.F.L. mari time unions, at a board hearing that was boycotted by the big strik- ing unions Seafarer's 1nterna- tional Union and the Sailors Union of the Pacific, both A. F. L.
 The union decision to boycott the hearing was made at New York meeting of the s. I. U and s. U. P. strike strategy committee.
 The hearing, first concrete gov ernment step in efforts to end the paralyzing strike, was called to hear evidence whether the board should reverse its decision rejecting wage agreemnt rached by the shipowners and the unions.
 The board had rejected the wage  agreement on grounds it would up- set the governments wage stabiliza- tion policy and possibly lead to an- other round of strikes for higher wages.
 Its action resulted in strike which tied up shipping in every major saltwater port in the nation. The strike, now in its sixth day, has immobilized about 5000 ships in the worst maritime strike in the nations history.
 The board, in rejecting the agree ment by the A.F.L. unions and the shipowners could not cite greater increases to support requests for higher freight rates.
 The AF.L. unions replied with a strike that won support of all other A.FL. and C.I.O. maritime unions thus idling 500,000 seagoing and dockside personnel and more than 5000 vessels.

SCHEDULED TODAY
Engineers To
Confer On Ways To
Save Road

Plans to improve safety condi-
tons on the Fort Fisher road will
be mapped this afternoon by Blunt
Whitesides, Of Clinton, district high
way engineer and A. K. Mallard,
maintenance superintendent.
The -Mallard : Whiteside confer
ence will be designed to preserve
the historic roadway until the high
way commission can develop a
program for it's permanent repairs.
The shifting tides around Fort
Fisher have actually added some
three feet of earth. along the. sides
OF the roads shoulders in the past
two weeks, Mallard reported.
"Unless we have a serious high
tide in the near future, I believe
the road is in good shape" he ad-
ded.
But there is a 3O0-foot stretch of
roadway that is too narrow for
vehicles to pass each other, accord
ing to Mallard's report.
In their conference today, NAL
lard and Whiteside will devise the
signs that they believe essential
to safety on the road.
Lights will be kept on the road
every night for the time being,
