'Bis4 Talks Critical Now

Paris, May 13-(UP)-The Big A. talks on Europe entered their most critical stage today with a final showdown on Trieste immin- ent.
 The foreign ministers postponed today's meeting from II A. M. to 4 P. M. (11 A. M. EDT0 because Er- nest Bevfn did not return from a weekend trip to London in time. Committees of experts met during the morning, trying to smooth out details.
 Negotiations on Trieste seemed
 likely to decide the success or
 failure of the entire conference,
 and will determine whether a
 peace conference will be pos
 SibIe this Summer.
 The dispute over the Adriatic port has stuck out like a sore thumb through all the conferences in which the foreign ministers were able to reach tentative compromises on oth- CT phases of the Italian treaty. There was not the slightest sign of compromise on Trieste.
 Emphasizing the serious stage of negotiations, Bevin made an unex- CnotinIod pape 10.-(RTG Al

State Police Avert Riot
Union Succeeds In Moin Purpose

West Ha. d, May 13-CUP)- thousand pickets clashed with police today at the Pratt & Division of Niles-Bemet- Pond Company, and bitter fighting prevailed until an emergency call brought about 100 State Troopers to the scene. ,....
 Although no one was injured
 seriously, police arrested 22
 pickets before the demOnstra-
 tiOn was brought under control.
 The near-rioting started as the company threw open the gates to any of the strikers who wanted to accept it's final wage offer and go back to work. The strike started two months ago tomorrow.
 Reinforced picket lines, pa-
 trolled by automobiles with loud
 speakers, urged the men to
 remain away.
 Those who got through the lines were virtually showed along by about 50 West Hartford police aG they fought off the pickets. Soon realizing they could not corc with the situation, the emergency call went in for State Police who ar- rived in patrol cars and hauled the principal demonstrators out of the lines.
 Hnt "a
 timate of the number who
 gained entrance to the sprawl
 ing precision tool plant but
 company President Charles w.
 Deeds said he was pleased
 with the turnout rrder the cir
 cumstanceS," and that the fac-
 tory would remain open every
 day"
 He said the company offer of Is cents an hour increase, which com pares with 18 Ia demanded by the union, was "final' and that "the situation now is beyond the point of mediation"
 Deeds said that not enough wor- kerS returned to get production started.
 At strike headquarters, Pulp licity Chairman Louis Kings bury charged that police were
 being used as 7trike- breakers" and claimed that less than 100
 got through the lines. He said
 the reinforced picket lines
 would remain at the plant indefinitely"
 The mass picketing. however, wa discontinued shortly after g A. M and about IS pickets were left pa trolling the main gate. Kingsbur! said they would be back lin full force at noon."
 Police were armed. but did ] not carry nightsticks. There were several fist fights but no one was reported injured.
 Kingsbury said the unie had tw' ambulances at the scene but ther was no call for their services.
 Among those arrested were In ternational organizers Robert Mint and Michael Palanovitch; Uniol Vice-president Joseph Williams ant Business Agent Vincent KotowsE. Police hauled them from the mill ing lines and took them to head quarters where arrangements wer made for their immediate releas on bail. There were more than 2OOO
 remaining on strike after most
 of the 900 non union office wOr-
 kers, supervisors and fOremen
 returned, at the cOmpany's i'm
 vitatiOn last Wednesday.
 Buses took the workers within a block of the plant and they ha, to walk the remaining distances t the gate where Kingsbury sai' police formed 8 protecting cordo' around those who tried to get Ii and rushed them into the factory.

 FROM ANCHORAGE

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. 25.- Daily flights between Anchorage and Juneau by Alaska AirlineS have been resumed as a result of re- cent decision by the CAB, it was announced by Marshall c. Hoppin, President, Alaska Airlines. An Air Carrier Operating Certificate for this route has been granted by the CAA as a part of their program to certificate the routes of schedul- ed air carriers.
