This Time Ifs BudenzWho's
 Called ''Liar"
Browder Denies Reference to Ldttimore "Shdme-
 less Lie" Says Field
By MARVIN L. ARRowsMITH

WASHINGTON, April 21 . R = Senator Mccarthy (R-Wis) today challenged Senate investigators to dig beyond Louis Budenz's sworn testimony that Owen Lattimore was member of Communist cell"
 Mccarthy noted that Budenz, a former Communist, testified that his information about Lattimore came from men he said were high in the party-Earl Browder, Fred erick Vanderbilt Field and Jack Stache1
 T think the investigating com- mittee ought to subpoena those men and get their story" Mccarthy told reporters. Attorneys for Latti- more already had asked that Field be subpoenaed so his testimony could be matched against Budenz'.
 Mccarthy has accused Lattimore Far Eastern affairs expert. of be- ing Russia's top spy in this country
 Mccarthy Not Right"
 Budenz said on the witness stand yesterday that McCarthy's accusa- tion on that score was not technic- ally accurate. But he did back UT the Senator's contention that the Communists exercised disciplinary power over Lattimore.
 A former high-ranking Army h. telligence Officer followed Budena to the stand and bluntly disputed that Lattimore was Communist.
 Lattinore. Johns Hopkins Uni versity professor, has flatly denied McCarthy's charges against him. He withheld comment on Budenz's testimony, but is expected to make formal reply at public hearing next week.
 The inquiry into Mccarthy assertions that Communists and fellow travellers have infested the State Department is being handled by Senate Foreign Relations sub- committee.
 BrOwder Denies
 Budenz said that Browder, former head of the Communist party in the United States, referred to Latti- more as a Communist"
 In New York, Browder replied that he never made any such ref erence to Lattimore, and added:
 T don't think I ever discussed MT. Lattimore in my life with any one."
 Also in New York, Field put out a statement calling Budenz's accu. sations against him "a shameless md slanderous lie" Budenz testi- fled that he knew Field as Com munist leader and a Soviet ageni

RUSSIAN NOTE. CLAIMS SHIP
 WAS A B,29

LONDON, April 21-tR-R Russia insisted today that a U. s. plane which it claims exchanged shots with Soviet fighters over Latvia April was a B-29 superfortress.
 In note handed to U. s. Am bassador Alan c. Kirk at Moscow the Soviet Union rejected a U. s. statement that the only American plane anywhere near the scene at the time was an unarmed Navy privateer.
 The privateer, missing with its crew of ten since the day fixed by the Russians as the day of the exchange of fire, has been given up for lost.
 The Soviet note today, broadcast by Moscow radio and picked up by the Soviet. Monitor in London replied to the U. s. protest note of April Is.
 Text of the Soviet reply: III Itply JO Illt OiulCu otoVCe Governments note of April Is 1850, the U. s. s. R. Government considers it necessary to state the following:

WASHINGTON-F years ago today, this column broke one Of the most sensational and unpleas- ant stories of the war. American troops had reached the suburbs Of Berlin, I reported, and then being ordered back to the River Elbe because of a demand by the Russ ians.
 Publication brought immediate criticism from a great many peo- pie, who felt that I was upsetting U. S.-Russian relations. They es- pecially objected to this paragraph:
 At the height of the rapid U s. advance Coward Berlin, and just four days before Roosevelt's death, Stalin sent him a brusque note accusing the United States of mak- ing a deal with the Nazis in order to advance more rapidly through Germany. The note was couched in most caustic and critical lang uage. The inference was that a U Sherman deal had permitted the Nazis to transfer more troops to the eastern front and thus kill more Russians"

RUSS DEMAND U. 5., BRITAIN QUIT TRIESTE.
Cold War Opens on New Front ni-YugosIdv Forces
 Not Mentioned
(By the Associated Press)

Russia seized the offensive in the cold war again today, demanding that Britain and the United States withdraw their troops from Trieste. In note delivered to the Am bassadors of the U S., Britain and France in Moscow, the Soviet gov eInment charged the three Western nations were grossly violating" pro visions of the Italian peace treaty. These provisions called for making Trieste, former Italian Adriatic port city, free territory.
 In Washington, United States of ficials said Russia herself was to blame for the delay in setting up the free territory because Russia would not agree on a Governor to administer Trieste under United Nations mandate, in accordance with the Italian peace treaty. signed in 1947.
 The Russian note demanded im- mediate appointment of such a gov- ernor and liquidation of the illegal Anglo American Naval Base" it said had been established in the port city.
 The note made no mention of Yugoslav forces, which control Zone B of the Trieste territory. Three
  years ago, when Yugoslavia was in the Russian camp, the Soviet Union backed Yugoslav claims to annex part of Trieste.
 Now Yugoslavia is at outs with the Kremlin. US officials said any settlement of the Trieste question must take into account the interests of Yugoslavia. Britain, France and the United States proposed in 1949 that Trieste be returned to Italy, but Russia resisted the suggestion.
 The whole issue must be settled by the JUN. Security Council. which Russia is now boycotting because of the presence on the Council of a representative of Nationalist China Russia insists Communist China delegate should replace the Ma tionalist.

WASHINGTON, April 21 - R

ssAAN~A~A1 - A ~st @~kS%~~ "~' Sava Kosanovic. Yugoslav Ambas- sador, today expressed his country's willingness to consider direct agreement" with Italy to settle the Trieste problem.
 Kosanovic made the statement to reporters after paying a farewell call on Secretary of State Acheson He returns to Belgrade within a few days to become Minister of State in the Yugoslav cabinet.
 The Yugoslav envoy said there will be no real peace in the Adriatic as long as there is this Trieste prob- lem between the Italian and Yugo- slav peoples"
 He noted that Italian Foreign Minister Carlo Sforza recently ex- pressed Italy's readiness to talk with Yugoslavia about settlement.
 Russia thrust the Trieste problem back onto the international scene with a note charging in effect that the Big Three Western powers are turning the Adriatic Sea port into a military base.
 Diplomatic officials predict the United States. Britain and France will reject the Soviet charges as unfounded. They said the three powers will confer on a reply ano it is possible a joint answer might be made when Acheson, British Foreign Minister Bevin and French Foreign Minister Schuman meet jr London early today.

New Proposal IS Made in Statehood Lssu
T0p-HEAVY VOTE FAv0RS ADOPTION
 OF NEW ORDINANCE

IL was the largest turnout of Ju- neau voters ever seen at special municipal election, when top heavy vote was cast yesterday in favor of adoption of the city prop erty transfer ordinance.
 A total of 1,104 votes were cast. Only 29 voters marked their ballots "No.' Of the remaining number, two ballots were rejected and one was blank.
 All the rest-1 .O72--were marked in favor of adopting the measure. which will clear the way for con- struction here of a new Territorial building. as provided for by an act of the last Legislature.
 The strength of the turnout yes- terday is indicated by a compari- son with the all-time record turn out for the Territorial general cleo tion in 1948.
 During the 194B election 1901 vot- CTS cast ballots in the city's three precincts. Yesterdays election brought only 700 less voters to the single polling place in the City Hall.
 Mayor Waino Hendrickson today termed the heavy vote "a clear ex- pression of public opinion" on the question. of which of Alaska's cities should be the site for the building. Interest in the election is known to have been sparked by the threat of Anchorage's trying during the next session of the Legislature to have the capital moved to the Hub City.
 The newly-approved ordinance provides for the granting of the Arctic Brotherhood Hall property and the selling of the City Hall property and the vacant lot ad- joining it on Fourth Street to the Territory.
 The Territorial Board of Admini- stration has agreed to pay the city s60.00O for the City Hall property and the vacant lot next to It. The money will be used by the city to purchase site for a new municipal building. clear the lease agreement held by cold storage firm on part of the A.B. Hall. and rage the existing buildings. Voting yesterday was above average from the start. election of- ficials said. Citizens formed lines as they waited for their turn to vote.
 The Chamber of Commerce was among the civic-minded organiza- tions which staged "get-out-the- vote" campaigns. An independent group of women spent the day driv- ing voters to the polling place in the City Hall and baby-sitting while mothers went to vote.
 Election officials-Grant A. Bald win and Mrs. Mary Hagerup, clerks; and Mrs. Ray Day, Mrs. Gertie Berggren and Mrs. Gudmund Jen- sen, judges-were not through tally ing until 10 pm. last night.
