Tito Issues ; DEGREES
Virtually Annexing
Zone B in Trieste
By the Assoeiafed Press

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia. May
16.-Premier Marshal Tito'S gov
ernment all but annexed the
Yugoslav-occupied zone of Trieste
last night with military DEGREES
Tightening the Communist nations
hold on the disputed Adriatic
territory.
Marshal Tito's orders followed
his bitter protests that Yugoslav
interests had been threatened by
a British American decision last
week to give Italy a hand in
ruling Trieste's Zone A, which the
two Western powers have gov
erned since World War II.
Both Italy and Yugoslavia claim
the entire 320-square- mile ter
ritory, which was divided and put
under temporary military rule
after the war.
Orders From Belgrade.
Under orders from Belgrade the
YugoSlav military commander in
Trieste issued DEGREES to:
l. Remove travel restrictions in
side Yugoslavia for residents of
Zone B.
2. Extend control of the Yugo-
slav Federal Bank over all finan-
cial affairs in the zone.
3. Abolish the Istrian Regional
Peoples Committee, which has
been the zones civil government.
It's powers are taken over by Peo-
pies Committees of the Districts
of Kopar and Buje.
The Kopar committee will have
q political adviser named by the
Yugoslav Republic of Slovenia.
Buje District will have one from
Croatia Republic. Triestes mill
tary commander also will have a
civilian political adviser named by
the central Yugoslav government.
More Moves Expected.
Marshal Tito had warned earlier
In the week that steps would be
taken to protect Yugoslavia's in
terests in Trieste. Deputy Foreign
Minister Leo Mates hinted at
press conference last night that
more will come.
II don't think that the state
ment of the Premier should be
limited to these three decrees," he
said.
The deputy foreign minister
was asked whether Yugoslavia
acted as a result Of the London
agreement of May 9 by which
Britain and America shared ci-
william administration of their oc-
cupation zone with Italy. He
avoided a direct answer, but said
with a smile: 1T would be quite
incredible if I should say no."
He said the London decisions
had made a final settlement of
the territory's future more diff
cult. He insisted. however, that
Yugoslavia's actions did not vio-
late the spirit of the Italian peace
treaty. which provided that Tri-
este should be an international
zone.
Italy has charged that Yugo-
slavia has. in effect. already an
nexed Zone B and tied it's econ
omy into the Yugoslav Communist
system.

Quoted among a group of 297
adults in Arabia. They ate no
free salt. and there was not one
case of high blood pressure in the
tribe, he told the Maryland doc
tors, adding that the lack of salt
may have been a contributory
cause to the absence of high blood
pressure.
DR.. Krause said he has seen
Arabian fields which have been
cultivated for 5000 years and
which are still capable of out
producing American farm land
acre for acre. He explained this
was due mainly to skillful use of
fertilizers.

Trainers of Virginia's Constftu

that State officials who regulate

The situation came to light last
week during hearings by the State
Corporation Commission on the
fourth rate increase request OF
the Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co. of Virginia since World
War II.
1t was disclosed that commits
sion members get free telephone,
telegraph, bus and train services
for personal purposes anywhere
within the State This was based
on provision of the State Con-
Stitution.
1902 Debates Cited.
But the official report of the
debates Of the Constitutional Con-
vention of 1902 throws an en-
tirely different light on this
specific question-in fact, it is
almost conclusively indicated that
the .drafters of the States basic
document intended to deny the
commissioners these personal fav-
ors but give them free service for
official business.
Commissioner w. Marshall King
said last week that the opposite
happens today; that the free tele-
phone service applies only to
private calls and that official sec
business is paid for at the regular
commercial rate,
The commissioners cited section
16l OF the Constitution as authori-
zation for accepting the free serv-
ices:

Petit Proposal Rejected.
"This is a matter that was care
fully considered by your commit
mittee, and these words were put
in after mature consideration on
their part"
The convention then rejected
the Petit amendment.
This is the only direct reference
to debate on free passes" which
is carried in the index to the
Official record.
There was, however, commit
tee minority proposal to include
in the Constitution a fat prohi-
bition against higher or lower
rates or exemptions for transpor-
tati0n and transmission facilities.
This also was thrown out.
o William Gordon Robertson,
delegate from Roanoke where the
Norfolk & Western has its home
office, made these remarks:
"These gentlemen may think I

section.
/ William B. Petit of Fluvanns
and Goocllland Counties, took thi
floor, according to the record
and said:
Il move to strike out the
phrase, commencing in line 4 and
ending in line 6, except to men,

Iof office, tsico the effect of which
will be to put these members and
officers Of the State Corporation
Commission upon the same foot
ing exactly as (the section) puts
all other officers of the State.
I suppose, and of course that
is the argument upon which this
section proceeds, that the object
of the provision is to prevent
public officers from being seduced
from the proper discharge of their
duties by the gracious favors of
the railroad companies extended
to them by granting free passes :.
1T strikes me that of all the
officers of the State, it is most
Objectionable that they should be
permitted to extend these favors
to this commission. which is
erected and constructed for the
purpose of controlling them = I
say that the motive of this pro-
vision applies with stronger force
to the railroad commissioners
(SCC) than to any other officers
of the State.
Il move, therefore, to strike out
the exception made in favor of
the railroad commission"

Parkway as a potential part of its highway and

button. The Federal Government, in turn, will
match the combined State and county gifts. In
addition, the United States will bear all the cost

Perspective for Democracy

The District Of Columbia League Of Women
Voters has chosen an appropriate theme for its
eleventh annual All-Day School to be held at the
Shoreham Hotel on January 29
Under the guiding title Of Self Government
and the Public Conscience the league and its
well-chosen discussion leaders viii attempt to
frame perspective within which the individual
thoughtful citizen can evaluate the several ele-
ments OF responsibility which must exist in
effective democratic government. In these times
Of violent accusation and denial accented by the
mounting emotions OF national political CAM
paign, such . perspective Is neither easy to for
mulate nor easy TO maintain. In approaching the
task the league has properly recognized that
only through the functioning Of an informed
and intelligent Interest on the part OF the indi-
vidual can there be attained an enlightened and
accountable public service i
This consistency OF the league ID Its selec-
ions OF the subjects for these annual sessions Is
itself manifestation Of responsible judgment

account Of the air raid drill conducted
at the Pentagon. However. in typical
"Pentagonian" fashion, something Is
confused.
The story states that "The Defense
Departments press relations branch
came up with the 10000 estimate (of
what the drill cost by figuring that the
30.000-odd workers make an average of
81 an hour and that all were OF duty
20 minutes" So goes Pentagonian
mathematics. However, would not the
estimate be $4,000 instead Of $4,000?
II the $4,000 employees were OF one full
hour. it would be $4,000 10000 at 50
an hour). Since 40 minutes represents
one-third Of an hour. wouldn't One-
third Of $4,000 be $40 1000? II
