By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 30.-The
United Nations Assembly today
adopted an American-backed res
olution to refer the disputes aris-
ing out of the trials of churchmen
in Hungary and Bulgaria to settle
ment under peace treaties with
those of Balkan countries.
The final Assembly vote In the
row over the trials of Josef Cardi-
nal Mindzenty and Is Bulgarian
Protestant clergymen was "a to 6.
The Russian bloc voted against it.
The Russian bloc fought bitterly
at every step of the case but the
West won it's argument that the
peace treaty machinery should be
used first to seek a settlement. The
Assembly kept the case before the
U. N. until next fall to see what
has been done since it acted. The
Assembly also appealed to Bull
garia and Hungary to cooperate
in reaching a settlement. Bulgaria
and Hungary refused to accept an
invitation to speak for themselves
here.
Gromyko Fought Action.
The United States has charged
that human rights were violated,
but the American delegation de-
cided the best course now is to
take it up under the peace treaties
with Hungary and Bulgaria.
Andrea A. Gromyko. Soviet dep
uty foreign minister. has attacked
the West at every turn for back
ing the case in the U. N. He said
the trials are an internal matter
and not the business Of the U. N.

morning that Mr.. Gromyko's argu-

OF Southern Operators
For Separate Talks
, His Dote and Place
Conflict With Stote EIks'
Convention, However

John L. Lewis yesterday ac-
copied the bid OF Southern coal
producers for separate bargain
ing for q new contract with his
United Mine Workers. but in
dustry sources said his suggested
arrangements have posed at least
one serious problem.
In a letter to Joseph Z. Moody.
president of the Southern Coal
Producers Association, Mr.. Lewis
that formal negotiations
start June 6 in Bluefield. w. Va.
Investigation showed that about
$500 Elks are scheduled to ar
rive in the town of 10000 that
day for the annual State conven-
ton. The Elks are said to have
reserved all available accommo-
dations.
Mr.. Moody served Mr.. Lewis
notice of contract termination 10
days ago and called for an early"
start in negotiations. The con-
tract for the entire soft coal in
dustry. including the South, ex-
pires June 80. 1t was pointed
out that by waiting until June 6
to start new contract talks there
will not be time for the 3o-day
notice to the Federal Mediation
and Cancellation Service as re-
quired by the Taft-Hartley Act.
In recent years. soft coal con-
tracts have been negotiated on an

and Britain to get together on
Berlin and avoid further trouble.
They thanked DR.. Evatt and Mr..
Lie, but indicated they preferred
to leave 1t in the Security Council.
DR.. Evatt has been informed
of each step in the secret talks
here between DR.. Philip c. 'Jessup,
American ambassador at large,
and Jacob A. Malik. Soviet deputy
foreign minister. All signs indl-
cate the Russians and the West
are reaching agreement on lifting
the 10-months blockade.
Text of Statement.
DR.. Evatt's statement follows:
There is every reason to antic-
ipate the ending of the long,
protracted and most dangerous
Berlin dispute and the early lift
ing of the blockade.
1.-The United Nations will have
every reason to rejoice when the
settlement is complete. first. be-
cause the organization is dedicated
to the purposes of international
peace and international justice,
second, because acting through its
General Assembly. its Security
Council and it's secretary general
It has consistently and vigorously
promoted every practical measure
aimed at the earliest completion
of the peace settlements
"A Berlin settlement will by no
means cover the whole area OF
great power dispute; but it will
certainly clear the ground for a
fresh approach to just and stable
peace settlements in relation not
only to Germany but to the equally
inportant-and too often forgot
ten-Far East; not only by the
great powers themselves but, In
accordance with the Mexican reso-
luton at the Paris General As
sembly, by those middle and small
er powers who contributed un-
stintingly to the overthrow OF the
aggressors of 1939-1945."
Cooperation Asked.
The Mexican resolution te
which DR.. Evatt referred calls or
the great powers to cooperate In
settling their arguments over Ger
many and all other rows among
themselves.
The resolution was approved
unanimously in the U. N. Assembly
in Paris. The delegates stopped
the usual East-West fighting tt
approve the resolution and Their
continued the East-West battle
after it was adopted.
When the Assembly adjourned
today. DR.. Evatt went to the Rus
sian delegation and talked briefly
with Mr.. Malik, who was present
for the afternoon session. Mr.
Malik and DR.. Evatt smiled anc
shook hands as they parted.
The Assembly held its first ex-
traordinary Saturday session Of
