Trieste to Austria

To the EDITOR Of The Star:
In my school days the city of Trieste
was very definite part of Austria, and
it so remained until World War I. The
fact that 1t was taken from Austria and
given to italy by the treaty of Ver-
sailles was consistent step in the policy
Of Furnishing Austria and rewarding
Italy for their respective parts In that
international conflict.
Now that Italy has been the trans
gressor and Austria the innocent victim
in World War II, it seems strange to me
that American representatives in the
present peace conferences should ignore
Austrias interest in favor of Italys
claim to Trieste and the Istrian Penin-
sula.
If remember rightly, 1t was Polands
right to a shipping port that was SO
strongly supported by the Allies as to
bring about World War II and surely
Austria has similar natural right to a
shipping port.
The head-on dispute between Russia
and the United States over Trieste
could be adjusted in harmony with in
ternational justice, in my opinion, by
awarding Trieste and corridor to
Austria.
Certainly such an award would pro-
vide a buffer between Yugoslavia and
Italy whose attitudes historically have
been anything but friendly. But chiefly.
it would furnish very reasonable So
luton and compromise

PANAMA BLOCKS Use OF
NEGRO ACTS IN CAFES

NEW YORK, Jan. 5 (ANP)-l
Panama, a so-called democratic re-
public is so prejudiced according to
reports here that contracts with
Negro performers to appear there
are being held in allegiance. The
immediate cause of the situation
is that some of the Negro residents
of Panama, weary Of the gross dis
elimination which goes on in the
cafes and night clubs, have filed
suits against these institutions al
leging discrimination. The owners,
feeling that the appearance of col
ored acts, while popular here, add
ed to the desire of Negro residents
to attend, had better be delayed for
the time being.
This situation occurred just as
former president Arias was arrest
ed charged with fomenting revo-
luton. Arias had been outspoken in
his condemnation of Panama's
flagrant race discrimination. The
United States government which in
the canal zone permits two classes
of citizenship, designating whites,
"Gold" and blacks "Silver," provid
ing separate accommodations for
the two races and in general adopt
ing Dixie attitude is responsible
for much of the attitudes shown
there. Negroes have the greatest
of difficulty in securing adequate
accommodations.

experience which I shall never for

After batting my hook, I tossed
my line about 800 feet from the
lake shore. II wasn't long before

gan to squirt and foam. The line
ran out at a great speed. The pull

Being alone, l could not cry for

to the edge OF the lake. I imme-

grasped the end that was still on
the bank. I lacked up the rear OF
the car and wound the line around
the tire; started the motor and
shifted the car In reverse and the
line wound around the tire.
BY this quick action, I was able
to pull the fish TO shore. This fish
was 6 inches long with a greeniSh
pink color and from both sizes
there extended four propellers not
unlike those used on cupboard
motors.
These propellers could be shift

Can you identify this fish for

Those poor rabbits we wrote
about last week certainly look
pretty small in comparison to to-
days stories. We wonder what
kind Of bait LAR. used to to catch
that strange fish? Also. do those
propellers revolve in the air as
