Disagreement on Trieste.
However, a disturbing note was
injected a few hours later when
it was disclosed authoritatively that
a special four-power commission ap-
pointed by the Foreign Ministers
Council had been unable to agree
on the proposed frontiers between
Italy and Yugoslavia or on the stat
ute providing for a free city of
Trieste.
-Four different proposals will be
submitted to the peace conference,
1t was disclosed. and the parley will
also be asked TO delegate a special
investigating commission to examine
the Italian Yugoslav frontier dis
pute on the spot.
The Trieste statute will have q
tortuouS course at best. The COM
promise plan must be approved first
by the Italian commission of the
peace conference then by the con-
ference itself, which will send it to
the Big Four for considerat ton. If
they accept the recommendation it
still must go to the United Nations
Security Council and finally to the
U. N. General Assembly before be-
coming effective.

Maj. F. Elwyn Jones of the British
prosecution staff produced letter

DR.. Brandt saying:
I'VE have nearly complete col

He defined "active" developments
as those which have reached the
stage of construction at which they
will need water service" Ordinarily
he said, mains are laid at about the
time the house is put under roof.
Receipt of six carloads of surplus
pipe this week increased the divi-
sion's supply to almost $4,000 feet
Mr.. Auld said.
Shipments are not expected to
begin before November on a $10O, ,OOC
order which will include 10000 feet
of 8-inch pressure pipe.
The 952 temporary housing units
for veterans under construction at
five District sites by the Federal
Public Housing Authority are now
draining the Districts stock pile.
Since the projects are being built
for the District, the city is required
to install utilities.
Up to now, $500 feet of pipe has
been laid on three of the projects
and an additional 5000 feet will be
needed. Mr.. Aud said that FPHA
was seeking to obtain surplus pipe
which the city could purchase to
replenish its stocks. So far. 1,70O
feet have been obtained through
FPHA's help, he said.
District builders have been con-
cerned over use of present pipe sup

fear private housing projects will be
delayed.

The action of the Rules Commit

"The attempt to set off the

Lobbyist Battalion
Gives Peace Farley
Normal Atmosphere
By ReImon MORN
socioted Press Forejcp CoFysspon,

PARIS, Aug. 8.-The Peace Con-
ference began to look more nearly
normal today, with the appearance
OF battalion of lobbyists, special
pleaders and back-door agents, who
lurk In the corridors at the Palace
Iof Luxembourg or come right into
the pressroom. They are as typical
of peace conferences as pince- -nez
spectacles and portfolios.
They all have something to sell.
They represent q defeated nation,
or they represent the opposition to
an incumbent government some
where.
What they have in common is the
hope of talking the newspapermen
into carrying the ball for their cause.
For example, a blond and beautiful
lady from the Balkans was around
to see us the other day. Her eyes
were very blue, the lashes were long
and black. She needed help, she
said, Her voice was low and creamy,
and very much in the Garbo tradi-
ton.
'T Represent Truth"
When you signif1ed that you would
be honored to be of any assistance,
she replied, "All we ask is that you
tell the world what the Slovaks have
been doing to us"
Less impressive but more startling
is a gray-haired gentleman of con-
siderable distinction, who waits be-
hind a marble pillar He steps in
front of you, as you pass, fixes you
with his eye, and announces, Il rep
resent truth"
He is dissatisfied with the way one
of the borders has been drawn, and
he demands that you write about it.
Outside the stone archway that
leads into the courtyard, a peppery
little lady appears daily, terrorizing
the tough French gendarmes with
her efforts to get at the delegates
as they arrive in their limousines
She speaks French with a power
full but unidentiflable accent. AS
each car arrives, she tries to push
past the policemen, and she yells,
in effect, Yeah, yeah, yeah-what
about Venezia Giulia?"
Correspondents Are Target.
These, of course, are the people
who cannot hope to be heard in the
peace conference itself. Hence, 1t
is necessary for them to get hear
ing elsewhere. The correspondents
are the logical target,
But even the delegates, who are
being heard in the general assembly,
occasionally invite you out for a
drink, in order to tell you some
thing special" 1t generally goes
like this
Say, why don't you write the
real story of what's happening in
there? Why don't you give the
inside?"
What is it?"
We'll of course, you understand
can't be quoted. You've got to
leave me strictly out of this. But
the plain fact IS
The plain fact is that he wants
you to say something for him that
he is afraid to say for himself. His

a load dynamite that he wants
planted somewhere. And he won't

which the city could buy, and thus
the construction of the Federal tenn
porary units would hold up future
private building if additional sup
plies were not obtained.
There would be no use for us to
go ahead and build any houses il
they were just to sit there until we
can get water" he said.
Mr.. Auld said that the District
government is meeting the situa-
ton as best We can, with the mate
rails we. have on hand.
I'VE are playing no favorites." he
said.
Pressure pipe shortage. a Civilian
Production Administration spokes-
man said today, resulted from a
scarcity of scrap iron and from the
effect OF the recent steel and coal
strikes.
A scrap iron drive now being
conducted throughout the country
and plan to scrap 1900 obsolete
Navy merchant ships, are among
steps being taken to relieve the
scrap iron shortage, he said.
