U. 5. Rejects Soviet's
Demand That Trieste
Be |nfernationaIized
Note Delivered to Russio
Also Refuses Removal
OF American Troops
BY the Asseeiaied Press

The United States has emphat-
ically turned down Russia's de-
mand that Trieste be information
allied.
In a note delivered to Moscow
today, the American Government
also refused to pull out United
States Army troops stationed in
the Trieste area.
State Department officials said
the British and French govern
ments have sent similar reflections
to Russia.
Russia had contended in a for
NAL note April 20 that the United
States, Britain and France were
violating the Italian peace treaty
by holding up plans to interna-
tionalize the Adriatic city and its
surrounding territory.
Direct Agreement Urged.
The American note rejected the
peace treaty violation charge and
added that the United States feels
Trieste's future can best be set
tied by direct agreement between
Italy and Yugoslavia.
The note said "the Soviet gov
ernment's latest Intervention in
this question was obviously de-
signed to sow confusion and i'm
pede such mutually satisfactory
agreement, and hence injurs the
cause of peace"
The American note said the re-
sponsibility for failing to interna-
tionalize Trieste as provided un-
der the italian peace treaty "lies
sQuarely upon the Soviet govern
ment whose conduct following
the conclusion of the treaty rem
dered the settlement envisageo
therein impossible of execution"
Candidates Turned Down.
American officials, celebrating
on this point, said Russia turned
down numerous candidates for the
job of international governor oi
Trieste until the Western powers
were convinced Moscow just die
not want to agree on any one.
On March 90, 1948. the three
Western governments formally
gave up their efforts to inter.
nationalize the city and proposed
instead that the entire area bt
given back to Italy. This an.
nouncement came one month be.

Plan Studied 10 Tap
ECA Funds 10 PAY
Part Of Arms Cost
Hoffman Opposes Move
In Senate to Use Reserve
To Equip West Europe
BY the Assoeiuisd Pre,a

A move gained headway in the
Senate today to tap European re-
covery funds for part of the 81
billion cost Of re-arming Western
Europe.
Members Of the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee are study
ing a possible amendment to the
Economic Cooperation Admin
istration Act to lift some of the
arms burden from the American
taxpayer.
The idea was proposed first by
Senator Lodge, Republican. of
Massachusetts who works closely
in foreign affairs with Senator
Vandenberg, Republican, of Michi-
gan. It has been picking up sup
port despite opposition from ECA
Chief Paul Hoffman.
Point 4 Attack Reported.
There were reports, too, that
President Truman's plan to aid
backward areas of the world Is
under heavy fire within the Senate
committee.
These developments came as
the Senate Foreign Relations and
Armed Services Committees were
called into a closed-door meeting
today to study a new draft of the
foreign arms aid bill.
The measure would authorize a
81, ,222. 500, 900 overseas arms pro-
gram. Some Senators have
baked at a provision which
would give President Truman au-
thority to use 10 per cent of the
funds wherever he believed they
might be needed to re-arm friend
ly nations.
The new version of the bill is
believed to put strings on this
presidential power to use funds in
an emergency.
Reserve Funds Cited.
Senator Knowland, Republican,
OF California, said Appropriations
Committee members are "explor-
ing fully" the possibility of using
part of the $40 billion in reserve
funds piled up by the Marshall
Plan countries. ~.
For each dollar of American
aid. the European nations put the
equivalent of a dollar in their
own money into an account to
be used for recovery projects.
These are known as counterpart
funds.
The United States Government
has sole control over 5 per cent
of these funds. The other e5 per
cent can be spent only by agree
ment between the United States
and the participating countries.
Mr.. Hoffman told the Foreign
Relations and Armed Services
groups yesterday that he was
strongly opposed to using counter
part funds for military purposes.
He said every cent was needed
to help Europe toward recovery.
The ECA chief promised to seek
an explanation from Prime Min
lister Attlee of the British gov
ernment's position on the French
plan to pool Europe's steel and
coal,
