United States demanded today that

United States Delegate Warren r
Austin told the Security Council
that another Russian veto Of the
application could be interpreted by
the world only as an expression oi
the Soviet Unions lack of friend

The United States, Britain and
France Jointly reopened the italian

Russia twice vetoed it in 1947. The
move was timed with this months

He assailed the Russian position
that Italy should be admitted only
along with Finland, Romania, Bull.

states. The United States opposes
Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary
Austin said:
Surely there is no justice in pen

themselves to be qualified for mem.

states which by their own action.

Spectacular Action
BY Russia Expected
Before Italian Election
By the Assoeiofed Press

Some spectacular Russian act to
influence Italy's elections is expect
ed by American officials after the
brusque western suggestion that
Russia make up her mind about
Trieste.
The United States, Britain and
France yesterday asked the U. S. S. r
to take a stand-without further
delay-on their proposal to turn
the disputed city back to Italy.
Moscow has kept silent since the
plan was advanced unexpectedly
March 20 and quickly accepted by
Italian Premier de Gasperi's anti
Communist government.
With only eight days left before
the crucial election, the western
powers asked the Soviets to meet
In Paris early next month to work
out the Trieste transfer details. 1t
would mean revision Of the Italian
peace treaty which went into effect
last September.
- Spectacular Action Likely. sr...
Moscow might hope to win Italian
votes for communism by accepting,
But some Soviet action more posi-
tive and spectacular than falling in
step with the western powers Is
considered far more likely by au-
thorities here. .s-...
One such action could be a Rus
sian offer to give up the $500, ,Oo0, 900
in Italian reparations granted in
the peace treaty. The other pow
ers renounced their reparations
claims when the pact was drafted.
Moscow has given no advance
hint If such stroke has been de-
cided on. But in seeking to open
negotiations for a trade agreement
with Italy last week Russia insist
ed the reparations question be
taken up.
State Department officials said
the Italian peace treaty could be
revised by agreement of the Big
Four Allies-including Russia-and
italy.
Yugoslavia, a Soviet satellite, is
bitterly opposed to giving up the
share Of the, Trieste territory her
troops occupy, but presumably
would follow Moscow order to fall
In line.
Levett Sends Note to Soviet.
Without waiting for Russia's re-
ply. Britain and the United States
are going ahead with plans to turn
back some administrative powers in
their joint occupation zone to the
local Italian population on Mon
day.
The State Department said the
action was in line with American
policies in the occupation zones of
Germany and elsewhere.
The American request for "an
early expression of the views Of the
Soviet government" on the Trieste
proposal and the suggestion for the
Paris meeting were made in note
which Undersecretary of State
Lovett sent to Soviet Ambassador
Alexander S. Panyushkin here late
yesterday. At the same time Mr..
Lovett sent a note to Italian Am
bassador Alberta Tarchiani propos-
ing the Paris meeting and asking
for the Italian governments reac-
ton to that idea
The British and French sent
parallel notes.
