Army Officer, Two Enlisted Men Forced Across
 Border al Gunpoint

TRIESTE, Sept. 23.-lRl-United States army headquarters in Trieste today demanded the re- turn of an American officer and two enlisted men who, 1t is said, were taken captive by Yugoslavs while on mounted patrol duty on the Trieste free territory frontier yesterday and forced across the border at gunpoint."
 An official report issued by headquarters of U. s. troops in Trieste said the missing men were patrolling near the sector where Yugoslavs last week tried to force their way into the free territory.
 The army announcement identi- fled the tria as First It. William Van Atten, East Orange, N. J.; Pfc. Earl G. Hendrick, Jr., Airing ton. Va, and Pfc. Glen A. Meyer, Edgeley, N. D.
 Van Atten was caught in Yu- goslav ambush in July, 1946, on the road between Goriza and Trieste, the army report said His driver was killed and he and an enlisted man were wounded.
 The official army account of yesterdays occurrence is as fol- lows
 The report of the incident came from the other two members of the patrol, Pfc. Edison T. Lenhart, of Southbury, Conn, and Pvt. George E. Perry, Fort Thomas, Ky, who dashed to the 351st Regimental headquarters with the news.
 While leading his patrol along the frontier, Van Atten sighted a Yugoslav patrol with whom he and his men had talked before and ap- peared to be on good terms. Van Atten and two enlisted men dis mounted and approached the boundary on foot.

SITKA, Alaska, Sept. 23.-At the fisheries regulations hearing here Monday morning, Sitka trollers all most without exception opposed do- ing away with the closed trolling season in the area from Cape Spen- cer to Yakutat, with most favoring permanent closure of that section between Ice Cape and Lituya Bay which they hold is a nursery ground as the bulk of fish taken there are small, immature Kings.
 This stand conflicts with troller expressions at the Juneau hearing last Friday.
 The trollers also sought Fish and Wildlife influence for modification of the halibut regulations to put trollers on even terms with black cod fishermen so far as retaining halibut caught incidentally.
 Seine fishermen at the hearing generally favored an earlier open ing date for the entire Southeast Alaska area, with a definitely stated season length to permit forming of advance plans for the season.
 The proposed August 9 general opening was tagged plenty late" by Andrew Hope, principal spokes- man for the seiner group.
 
 Trap Holiday
 Hope also proposed that trap op- orators consent to fiye-year holi- day of their operations in Icy Strait and Chatham Strait, which he felt would restore pink salmon runs there without such drastic action as complete closure next year which the Fish and Wildlife Service has listed as possibility unless an early escapement is secured and runs develop by the time of the opening date.
 A similar proposal was wired here by Hoonah fishermen, who asked a trap ban in 1948 with seining re- stricted to resident boats which would be bonded
 Uniform Opening Dates
 A definite season length was also advocated by Jack Conway, who fayors longer season with longer weekly closed periods to allow uni form escapement through the fish ing season.
 Seiners generally opposed the 6 pm. openings, and favored uniform opening dates for all of Southeast Ala:ia. The seiners also wanted the fall fishing season advanced, hold ing that fish quality is poor during the present late October open period.
 Trollers felt that this years ex- perimental open fishing for kings

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON -- Don't be fool ed by all the hurrah, hullabaloo and headlines now coming out of the Justice Departments Anti Trust Division. Actually the rash of antitrust suits now splashed across the front pages don't mean much. Most of them were pre- pared two years ago by abler, more energetic Weldell Berge, predeces- sor of the new antitrust chief, John Sonnett
 Take, for instance. indictment of real estate boards Fourteen months ago, this same suit was recommended to Attorney Gener- al Tom Clark by Berge, but Clark vetoed it. Tangling with the real estate boys at that time wasn't popular.
 Now that President Truman has thrown the harpoon into the real estate lobby, however, tEe Justice Department has drsted off Berge's 14-month-old case and brought an indictment.
 Even so, the indictment doesn't mean much. For present Anti trust Division chair-warmers pull ed punches. They indicted no in- ,dividual real estate men, only the real estate boards, and you can't send a board or corporation to jail That's why real estate mo- guls aren't really worried.
 Other recent cases pulled out of the Berge hat are Eastman Tech nicolor, prepared Is months ago, and the tire price-fiXing consp:r- acy, prepared two years ago. An other important case-still not out of the hat-is against Wall Streets investment bankers. This case was all set to go when Wendell Rerge resigned, but six months have dragged by with nothing happening.

 BULGARIA
Peasant Leader and Foe oi Communist Party Pays
 with Life Today,

SOFIA. Bulgaria, Sept. 23.-tR--- Nikola Petkov, Peasant leader and foe of the Communist Party. was hanged at 1915 am. today in Sofia $ Central Prison on charges of plot ting against Bulgaria's Communists controlled government. al official announcement said
 Both the United States and Brit ain, denouncing his conviction as miscarriage of justice, had urged the Soviet Union to participate in Big Power review of Petkov's case, but the Russians declined on grounds that this would would be interference in Bulgaria's internal affairs.
 Bulgaria likewise rejected series of British and American protests. The United States suggested that the Bulgarians, by trying Petkov, had placed themselves on trial be- fore the bar of world opinion.
 Petkoy's appeal to the Supreme Court from the death penalty, inn posed Aug. Is, was rejected last Thursday. The 54-year-old leader of the opposition Agrarian Party de- nied the governments charge that he plotted a coup detat by armed force.
 Evidently resigned to death. Pet kov. il: his prison cell described his case simply as prolongation of what has already happened to Hungary" where the Communists throttled the opposition after charg- ing the existence of plot against the government.
 U. s. PROTEST
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-IR- The United States accused Bulgar- ia today of violating elementary principles of justice and the dights of man" in hanging Nikola Pet kov.
 The State Department said in a formal statement that his trial and conviction was a "traveSty on jus tice." It said the trial was only one of "a series of measures un- dertaken by the Communications mated Fatherland Front govern ment to remove from the Bull garian scene all save purely nominal opposition and to consoli- date, despite it's professions to the contrary, a totalitarian form of government

CHIEF BUSTER soNNsrT

The man who has Eeen dusting off old Berge cases and dolling them up with flashy headlines is amiable, uninspired John Sonnett the only man who ever licked John L. Lewis but go no credit for it. Sonnett, who dresses like poem-but doesn't act like one handled the Supreme Court in- junction against Lewis and event. ually expects to go up to Wall Street There he has been prom ised a legal job representing Jim Forrestals old banking firm, Dillon, Read.
 During the war, poem-dressing Sonnett was aide to Secretary of the Navy Forrestal, which makes it bit embarrassing to bring the long-delayed antitrust suit against Forrestals and other Wall Street firms. In addition John Cahill, under whom Sonnett once worked, is now defending Dillon, Read.
 So life is no bed of forget-me- nots for Johnny Sonnett. Never theless, he swears he'll prosecute his old Wall Street friends and perhaps he will.

LOSES HIS FIGHT

NEW YORK, Sept 23.--tRl-Rus- sias Andrei Y. Vishinsky late today lost vigorous battle to bar discus sion of the Korean question and the Italian peace treaty in the United Nations Assembly.
 The assembly also approved in- clusion of the Creek Balkan ques- tion in the agenda, with only Rus sia and five Slav satellites voting against it. The vote was 36 to 6, with abstentions.
 The proposal on Korea, sponsored by the United States, was included in the assembly's agenda by vote of IA to 6. with seven abstentions. Only Russia and other members of the Soviet bloc voted against the proposal.
 S0viets Lose Again
 The assembly then oyerrode So- viet opposition to approve inclusion of an Argentine proposal to consider recommendation for revision of the Italian treaty. The vote was 2 to 8, with 19 abstentions.
 Ethiopia and Belgium joined the Slav group in voting against the Italian treaty item. The United States supported the proposal but France and Britain abstained.
 This was the first assembly test on major issues during the current session. It came after Russia had disregarded plea by U. N. Secre- tary- General Trygve Lie for peace among the Big Powers.

 U. N. MEET
Vishinsky Launches New Broadside After Appeal
 by Lie for Peace Fails

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.--iR-Rus- sia launched new broadside against the United States today after Secre- tary- General Trygve Lie in an ex- traordinary appeal called on the bitterly quarreling big powers to bury their differences in the interest of peace among the United Nations.
 Andrei Y. Vishlnsky. Soviet De- putty Foreign Minister, opened his new offensive by charging Secretary of State Marshall gave an "incor- rect" explanation of the Big Power deadlock on Korean independence.
 He then assailed Marshall-who was sitting before him flor sup porting U, N consideration of recommendation for revision of the Italian peace treaty. Vishinsky charged that any action on this question was a violation of the U. N. charter.
 Vishinsky spoke as the 55-nation General Assembly began debate on it's formidable agenda, which already had been approved by the assem- bly's l4-nation Steering Committee over Soviet opposition on some sec tions. He demanded exclusion of the items on Korea and Italy.
 Friendly Relations?
 Warren R. Austin, No. U. s. delegate, replied by citing Article 1 of the U. N. charter which calls for the development of friendly rela- tions among nations.
 Lets keep our sights lifted to those high points, he said.
 Referring to Vishinsky's charge that the United States was re- ponsible for tine stalemate over Korea, Austin said:
 Its not who's right-but whats right
 'The General Assembly" Austin declared, must show it's capacity to do things and not expose itself as a perfectly futile organization"
 Austin took the floor shortly after Marshall had left the chamber at the conclusion of Vishinsky's speech.

 continental Word Battle

ENROUTE WITH TAFT TO SEATTLE, Sept. 23-tR-A sharp iy-worded debate with Democratic officials at long range today en- liyened a new defense of the Taft Hartley law by Senator Taft (R- Ohio).
 The Ohio Senator told a report CT he plans to answer in Gear hart, Ore, speech later this week an assertion by Gael Sullivan. Democratic National Committee di- rector. that the next Republican Congress will do nothing about social welfare legislation.
 This will provide a new chap ter in continuing transcontin- ental battle of words between Taft and Democratic opponents since the Ohioan began a western sentiment sounding tour 10 days ago.
 Travelling toward Seattle and a major speech on the labor law there tonight, Taft accused Sena- tors Lucas D-IlD and O'Mahon- ey (D-Wyo) in statement last night of calling names" instead of offering any solution to the high cost of living problem.
 Lucas, in statement which O'Mahoney joined, said Taft had led the fight in the 18th Congress to wreck" price controls.
 The Ohioan, who heads the Sem ate policy committee, replied it was Democratic Congress which re- fused to enact an OPA till in ex- actly the form demanded by MT tChester) Bowles, MT. GPauD Por- der and the CIO."
 SEATTLE, Sept. 23.-tR-Oft chosen by Presidential candidates and political leaders for labor pro nouncements, Seattle greets Sen. Robert A. Taft, co-author of the Taft Hartley Labor Act, late to- day for a major talk tonight on his nationwide tour.
