Ministers Continue
Attempts 10 Break
Deadlock on Trieste
BY the Assoeiosed Press

PARIS, June 22-The Big Foul
Foreign Ministers tackled the
Trieste issue again today, while dip
lomats sought some indication as tc
whether a solution of the problem
had been reached at an intimate
dinner attended last night by mem
bers of the Russian and American
delegations.
1t was generally conceded that
settlement of Trieste and Italian
Yugoslavia frontier would lead to
agreement on fundamentals of pro-
jected peace treaties with Italy, the
Balkans and Finland.
Today's meeting was scheduled
for pm. Go am. EST.
(Secretary of State Byrnes
called President Truman by
phone from Paris this morning
and gave him a fve-minute fill
in on the Foreign Ministers
meeting.
(Whlle the Secretary has fre-
quently communicated with Mr..
Truman on the progress of the
meeting, this is the first time he
has conversed with him. Press
Secretary Charles G.. Ross said,
however, no special significance
was to be attached to that fact.)
RyrneS Dinner HoSf
Secretary of State Byrnes was
host at last nights dinner, in the
American delegations hotel, for
Russian Foreign Minister V. NJ
Molotov, his deputy, Andrei J vi
shinsky, and Interpreter Vladimir
Pavlov.
Although there was no immediate
indication OF what went on across
the table. it was believed probable
that frank discussion of dead
locked matters was held by Mr..
Byrnes and Mr.. Molotov.
The Council Yesterday began its
examination OF the Trieste question
with general restatement of views
of each Minister. These were found
TO be the same as when the Council
recessed without agreement last
month, with Russia demanding the
disputed port city for Yugoslavia
and the western powers claiming it
for Italy.
Subject Freely Discussed.
American sources said, however.
the subject was discussed freely.
They added that no new formal pro-
posals were made, but refused TO
say whether any compromise was
informally suggested
British sources said Mr.. Byrnes
had been forced to agree to de-
mands of other Ministers that in
formal sessions Of the conference
be kept secret. This was not men
toned by American informants
after yesterdays meeting, but re-
porters noted that details disclosed
were sketchier than before. Amer
can sources promised, however, to
make known all agreements and all
deadlocks.

as much training a. white dancers,
and they can produce a. good

That these prejudiees can be broken
