Big 4 Deputies Meet
For New Discussions
On Austrian Treaty
BY the Associated Press

- "~ b'cSS
PARIS, Mar. 8.-Deputies of the
Big -Four foreign ministers face
still another discussion today and
how to negotiate an independence
treaty for Austria as a step
toward easing East-West tension.
The deputies meet this after
noon for the fourth time in their
current series of talks designed to
draw up a list of points for their
ministers to discuss at the pro-
posed Big Four meeting. Unless
they agree on a list and how to
phrase it, the ministers won't get
together at all.
Britain, France and the United
States are eager to get the Aus
trtan treaty over and done with.
So Is Austrian Foreign Minister
Karl Gruber, who is here to watch
from the sidelines.
But this time the Russians left
1t Off their proposed list of topics.
They did bring it up yesterday,
but they recalled an old stale
mate: Russia'S insiStence - and
the Western powers denial-that
to talk about Austria they also
would have to talk about the little
territory of Trieste, on the Adri-
attic Sea.
The Russians say the Western
powers have violated their treaty
with Italy by turning Trieste into
a military base. How could the
Russians know, demanded Russia s
Deputy Andrei Gromyko, that
Austria wouldn't turn into a Sec
ond Trieste?
The Western reply to this curl
ous-as French spokesman
termed it-argument came as an
other question: If the Russians
will not trust the West to keep
the Austrian treaty, why are they
so eager for a German treaty?
Wouldn't the Western powers
break that, too?"
American Deputy Philip C. Jes-
sup told Mr.. Gromyko Trieste is
not a military base at ali. The
Russian argument that it is, he
contended, just serves as a pre-
text to delay the treaty Austria
has been awaiting since the war.
So far as the United States is con-
nov~paI tho foroioy, yVoioicforc oor
talk about TrieSte-but only as an
entirely separate matter from
Austria.
At that point Mr.. Gromyko said
it was getting late and the meet
ing ought to end for the day. De-
bate on the matter will go on this
afternoon. These deputies and
others already have discussed a
treaty for Austria more than $50
times.
But the Western delegates said
yesterday they were glad to see
the Russians are still ready to
talk about it at all, and since so
much work has been done al
ready, maybe it would be the
easiest subject to finish off.
Trieste Must Be Separate.
DR.. Jessup made it clear, how
over, that Secretary of State
Acheson would not talk about
Austria concurrently with Trieste.
He hinted that if the Russians did
not change their minds about that
it might be impossible to talk
about anything.
What the Russians say they
want to discuss most is Germany. !
They want is demilitarized and
they want Allied forces to get out,
according to agenda items they
have proposed.
It has surprised the Western
delegates though, that they made
no mention Of making a single
country out Of Communist-run
East Germany and the West Ger
man republic. This has been one
of their chief aims in the past.
At one session, it was learned,
DR.. Jessup asked Mr.. Gromyko
bluntly what had happened to this
point. He got no clear answer.

'VirginioIncreosing
Turkey Production

Although broiler producers In
Virginia increased production 5
per cent in 1850 for a 10000. 900
broiler crop, the increase was
smaller than that In any Of the
other important broiler- producing
States.
D. u. Livermore, State poultry
marketing specialist. said Vir-
ginia's failure to keep pace with
other broiler-producing States may
be caused in large part by the
ever increasing interest in turkey
production. Virginia stands first
among States east of the Missis-
sippi. and fifth in the Nation. in
turkey production-with a 80 per
cent increase In 1850 over 1949.
In the race for more broilers,
Delaware still leads the list. fol-
lowed by Georgia, Maryland and
Arkansas. Virginia still holds fifth
place, but Texas. with 33 million
birds, is rapidly closing in.
Thus far, in 1851, broiler pro-
duction in commercial areas has
exceeded that for a comparable
period in 1850 by Is per cent.
Chick placements in commercial
broiler areas are currently at a
record level Of IL million per week.

Petunios for New Gardens
First Among AnnuoIs, the. Petunio
Is Easy to Grow and Very CoIorfuI
By w. H. Younemon
Garden Editor

will be available to the petsInias,
which is not bad idea since they
are good growers provided they
have the necessary plant food and
moisture.
Petunias are not any more i'm
mune to disease and insect pests
than are other commonly grown
flowers. Generally. the gardener
will seldom find that either in
sects or diseases trouble his
plants. However, theres are sew
eral pests and for best results it
/ is wise to dust with one of the
Ia1l-purpose dusts available. Regu-
larity of application is the i'm
portant procedure since by SO
doing the plants are protected at
all times and an incipient build
up is prevented.
Wide Choice Of Varieties.
The choice of types and colors
will depend on the needs and likes
of the gardener. My favorite of
the singles is Pink Radiance. Some
prefer Rosy Morn, but then there
are the others ranging from pure
white to blackish purple. I have
enjoyed successive crops Of self
sown seedlings which displayed all
stages of crossing. No matter how
much the effectiveness of we'll
planned paintings which give fun
value to colors, are described, most
everyone loves a riot of colors in
the border.
It is true that some of the
magentas fight with the yellows,
but since there is not a yellow Pc
tunia. and we are talking of pc
tunias filling the void of a new
garden, even the magentas will do.
Petunias thrive in full sun. yet
are one annual that will tolerate
considerable shade. They take al
warm dry situation almost as well
as do zinnias and nasturtiums,
especially If the soil is well
mulched. And for a temporary
garden, or the new home, they
will contribute color and gaiety
as few other plants can. And, this
is possible without a heavy in
vestment, just few packets of
selected types. and colors.
