TRIESTE, Nov. 30.-Religious per.
secution in the Yugoslav zone Of the
Trieste free territory is increasing
the Bishop of Trieste said yester-
day.
Mser. Antonion Santin, the bish-
op, declared in an appeal from San
Giusto Cathedral here that it had
been made impossible for him to
enter Yugoslav Zone B. Catholics
there are under his spiritual care.
His speech reiterated reports OF
the recent destruction of a semin-
ary in Capodistria. The bishop said
some priests in Zone B had been
killed, jailed or forced to fee.
Threats and accusations, he said,
made it impossible for priests to
exercise their spiritual missions.
He declared atheistic doctrines
were being taught in the schools,
while teaching Of Catholic doctrine
was hindered in every way.

Near Guard Who Fired

Army investigators today had an
admission from a Fort Myer soldier
that he was in Arlington Cemetery
Saturday night when a sentry at the
Tomb Of the Unknown Soldier. fred
two warning shots.
One OF the rife bullets. the Army
believes, pierced the wall of Florida
Hall at Arlington Farms more than
800 yards away and wounded 24-
year-old Mrs. Irene Coslett in the
leg. Her condition was termed good
today.
AS far as Army and Tomb records
could determine, the shots were the
first ever fired by a guard at the
Tomb. The sentries, especially
selected for the duty. are charged
with guarding the Tomb with their
lives"
Investigators said the soldier un-
der questioning has admitted being
in the vicinity of the Tomb, en- route
to Fort Myer from dance. He had
taken a shortcut, they quoted him,
and said he heard the two shots
but did not know whether they were
meant as a warning to him.
The sentry, Pvt. William O'Con.
nor, 20, called out two or three
challenges to a figure he saw at the
edge Of the woods near the Tomb
and when he received no answer,
fired two shots.
Mrs. Coslett, wife of Army 1t.
Robert Coslett, was sitting in their
apartment in Florida Hall when the

Mr.. Familiar read 10 prepared

This was similar to that given the
committee two weeks ago by q
spokesman for the Oldsmobile di-

he could give no direct reactions to

The subcommittee yesterday heard
testimony on several cases in which
traded-in cars were resold higher
than the list price for new cars.
Chairman Macy and Counsel Red
dan protested that a tentative sales
blank signed by the Ourisman COM
panies' customers ordering new cars
gave protection to the dealers but
not to the customers as to traded-in
cars.
Under this, according to sections
read into the record, the dealers
under some circumstances might be
able to keep deposits or to take
traded-in cars as "liquidated DAM
ages" where customers want to
cancel new car orders. Mr.. Ouris-
man said this never had been done.
that all canceling customers got
their money back.
Mr.. Reddan wanted to know If
this tentative purchase contract
could be broadened to give adequate
protection to customers. Mr.. Famu-
lar said manufacturers no doubt
would consider the suggestion.

had Favored" friends, relatives and
some other groups Of customers in
deliveries of new cars.
Near the end of yesterdays five
hour hearing of Ourisman and Man.
dell company operations, Mr. Red
dan summed up analyses Of trade-ir
deals to show that both companies
had exceeded the average for this
metropolitan area in the percentage
of new-car sales tied with surrender
of old cars.
Mr.. Reddan said the ratio Of
trade-ins to new cars for the Metro
politan Area generally was 40 per
cent, but for Ourisman Chevrolet it
was 63 per cent and for Mandell
Chevrolet 1t was TOT per cent. Mr..
Reddan said this was based on q
check Of sales for the first seven
months Of this year.
Mr.. Ourisman had different
figures.
In general, he said at first, the
ratio was about $3.50. He later
pinned down the Ourisman Chevro-

Some State Labor Acts
Hit by 1obin as Worse
Than Taft-HartIey'
By jones Y. Newton

Secretary of Labor Tobin de-
clared today that some State
labor laws are worse than Taft
Hartley" as he opened cam
paign for sound labor stand
ards" over the country.
+. Mr.. Tobin, addressing the opening
of the 18th annual Conference of
State Labor Commissioners, referred
to the curbs on unions adopted by
many States in the last few years as
side of anti-labor legislation" He
asked the delegates to unite in a
fight for fair" statutes. The con-
ference will last three days.
President Truman in a message to
the conference called for better
teamwork on the domestic scene"
TO promote world recovery and last
In gpeace. He added:
1--WE face grave problems in our
States and In our Nation. Only as
we maintain and improve our team
work on the domestic scene can we
meet our world commitments and
build world teamwork to achieve re-
covery and lasting peace"
Aides Draft Proposals.
While Mr.. Tobin was speaking,
his aides were busy drafting recon-
mendations for a Federal labor law
which the administration hopes Con-
greSs will substitute for the Taft
Hartley Act. However, several weeks
may be required before a substitute
administration proposal is completed.
The Secretary told the commits
sioners that while the State labor
groups had scored most gains in the
four years after the first conference
year, since then "the drive for sound
labor legislation has slowed to a
walk"
Indeed" Mr.. Tobin added. "a
counter-trend has developed, of at
tacks on the rights of organized
workers, of diffusion of labor func-
tions among various agencies of the
Federal and State Governments, of
successful attempts to weaken the
Federal and State Labor Depart
ments through cuts in funds or with
holding of increased appropriations.
"The energies of labor officials and
organized labor have necessarily
been diverted to defending their
gains rather than to pursuing new
goals. You have literally been fight
ing with your backs to the wall.
Sees Tide Turned
Now, Mr.. Tobin said, "the tide Of
battle has turned"
"We may take encouragement" he
said, from the recent rejection by
the people Of Maine, Massachusetts,
and New Mexico of referenda on
anti-closed shop proposals. This is
certainly cheering reversal Of the
trend in 1946-47 when "a States
passed anti-labor laws.
"But by far our greatest encour-
agement comes from the reafhrma-
ton by the American people just
this month of their belief in liberal,
progressive principles"
He urged the State representatives
to build their own labor departments.
AS for himself, Mr.. Tobin said:
Il want department in which
all Federal labor laws are admin
istered, all labor, manpower and
social insurance functions for work.
srs are co-ordinated.
IT want q department that will be

proposal.
This committee, under the British
proposal. would take over at the Sc
curity Councils request the duties
of the Palestine mediator and the

The British proposal indorses the
Bernadotte recommendation that
the future of Arab Palestine be de-

states, and possibly be assigned to
Trans-Jordan. It also asks an in
ternational regime for the Holy

Both Jews and Arabs opposed the

because they said loss of the Negeh
would reduce Israel's territory by
three-fifths and they needed the
area for future colonization.
The Arabs fought the plan be-
cause they said it would be a form
