BIG FOUR AGREE
ON TWO POINTS
Greece To Be Given Stra.
qic Dodecanese Islands
In Pact

PARIS, June 27.-tP-The Big
Four foreign ministers agreed
Thursday to give the strategic Ital-
ian-owned Dodecanese islands to
Greece, and the Tenda and Briga
regions on the Franco-Italian Dor
der to France, an American in
formant said.
U. S. Secretary Of State James
F. Byrnes was so pleased over the
progress made at the fruitful
three-hour session. that he said
I'll need a couple of minutes to
catch my breath and recover from
the shock" a British source e.
ported.
Peace Farley Doubtful
Despite the elation of the dele
gates leaving the council hall, a
British authority said he did not
believe it would be possible to hold
a European peace conference in
July, as sought by the Americans.
But perhaps later in the sum-
mer."
In Thursdays session Soviet
Foreign Minister V M. Molotov
also accepted a United States pro-
posal concerning Romanian assets
in Allied countries and agreed with
the other ministers to limit the
Bulgarian Navy to 1880 tons.
No Trieste Agreement
No agreement was reported in
the key issue of Trieste, freedom
of navigation Of the Daunbe, OF
other major issues at stake as, the
conferences self-imposed Friday
deadline for work on the Italian
and Balkan peace treaties neared.
The decision to give the Dode-
canese islands to Greece carried
the provision that they be demili-
.tarized, the American informant
said. The agreement to give the
Tenda and Briga regions to France
carried the stipulation that Italy
would continue to receive electric
lty from hydro electric plants in
the valleys.
No progress was made on the
question Of freedom of navigation
|on the Danube when Byrnes and
British Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin refused to accept Soviet
amendments to a British-proposed
statement offered on that matter.
The British and American OBJ
jections came on a Russian de-
mand for deletion OF a phrase
stating that navigation should be
on a basis Of complete equality.
Byrnes said that as a result of
the disagreement he would revert
to his original demand that a
clause on Danubian navigation be
inserted in the Romanian treaty.
