Z Yugos|av Newsmen
Barred From Trieste
BY he Associated Press

TRIESTE, April 13-The Allied
Military Government has held up
approval of a Yugoslav request for
two of her correspondents to visit
Trieste. The move apparently was
in retaliation for the exclusion of
foreign newsmen here from the
YugoSlav zone of the free territory.
A high AMG official said the re-
quest was made through the "regu-
lar channel of the American En-
bassy at Belgrade He said the
AMG told the Embassy that ap-
proval was being withheld pending
further investigation. He would
not disclose the names of the Yugo-
slavs.
The official indicated that per-
mission might be granted later, but
was being delayed while new re-
quests were forwarded for permis-
sion for foreign correspondents sta
toned here to go into the Yugoslav
sector.
An AMG spokesman dismissed as
"an old line a Yugoslav charge
yesterday that British and Ameri-
can officials are fomenting unrest In
I Trieste in order to prolong their
military occupation.
! Under the terms of the italian
peace treaty, British and American
troops are obliged to remain in the
! free territory until Q civilian gov.
ernor is named.

House Civil Service
Committee Approves
Separate Measures

The House Civil Service Com
mittee today approved legisla-
ton granting $468-a-year pay
raises to Federal employees and
$585 annually to postal workers.
If enacted, both measures would
become effective May l and would
be in effect until June 30, 1949.
Heated discussion marked the
committees executive session today
before it agreed on two separate
measures. Its pay raise subcom-
mittee previously had reported a
s46S bill for both Federal employees
and postal workers.
Today, however, those advocating
a separate and more liberal pay
bill won their point over the objec-
ton of Chairman Rees and hand
full of others, who wanted the pay
raises contained in a single meas
ure.
House Delay Expected.
The Senate Civil Service Commit
tee has approved legislation to give
an $500 a year pay raise to postal
workers and $3.50 annually to the
rest of the Government employees,
Despite the House committee s
action, further House action on the
pay raise bills is expected to be
held up for at least several weeks.

measures pending final determine

Mr.. Stassen, speaking to a crowd

that the Communist Party must be
