VIENNA, Oct. IA box, whose
contents the AuStrians hoped
would solve the mystery of May
erling, apparently has been loot
ed by the Czechs, DR.. Josef Keil,
president of the Austrian Acad-
emy Of Science, charged today.
DR.. Keil was commenting on
reports that Austria and Czecho-
slovakia were negotiating for the
acquisition of the box, said to
contain the last will and papers
of Empress Elizabeth of Austria.
The Empress authorized the
Austrian Academy of Science to
open the box in 1850. She was
the mother of Crown Prince Ru-
dolph, who died January 80,
1899. with his mistress, Marie
Vetersa, under obscure circum-
stances at his hunting lodge at
Mayerling in the Vienna woods.
Her papers may shed light on
whether the Crown Prince COM
mitted suicide. The Mayerling
mystery has been the subject of
many books and movies.
But DR.. Keil said that the box
had been opened at the Austrian

For DisorderIy Act

Peter Opanowich, 81, husband
of an Arlington woman found
guilty last May of numbering
her infant son, was fined $50
and costs in Arlington Court to-
day and given a S0-day sus-
pended jail term.
Judge Hugh Cregger imposed
the sentences after finding Opa-
noWich guilty on charges of dis
orderly conduct and with using
abusive and profane language.
Opanowich was arrested last
Friday following complaints that
he had threatened the life of
Mrs. Margaret Cutcomb Of 1121
South Eighteenth street, Arling-
ton. a neighbor who had testi-
fed against his wife.
1t was Mrs. Cutcomb who teS-
tilted, during the murder trial

she accidentally overheard a
conversation concerning the
birth of baby and a threat to
dispose of it. The infants body

Western Allies Ban
Trieste Plans Of Both
Belgrade and Rome
BY the Assoeio,sd press

LONDON, Oct. THE Big
Three Western allies have decid-
ed against supporting either
Italy's or Yugoslavia's proposals
for settling the future Of dis
puted Trieste. diplomatic ON
cialS report.
They said the United States,
Britain and France may be ex-
pected soon to submit their own
agreed recommendations to the
Rome and Belgrade governments
for Step-by-step solution Of the
free territory's future.
The Foreign Office said the
problem is still under discussions
between Washington, London
and Paris. Information about
the precise nature Of the West
ern suggestions, therefore. was
withheld.
Nevertheless, the informants
reported it can be assumed the
thinking OF the Western allies
follows these broad lines:
l. Their joint declaration of
1948 favoring the return of the
whole of the free territory to
Italy has been overtaken by
events and today may be re-
garded as virtually a dead letter.
The declaration was made at a
time when President Tito's Yu-
goslavia was still member of
the Russian-led Cominform.
2. The provisional division of
the free territory between Italy
and Yugoslavia along the lines
Of the present zones would leave
room for later compromise when
passions have cooled.
Zone A now is run jointly by
the United States and Britain
on 1taly's behalf. Zone B is
run by YugoSlavia.
The idea would be for Italy
to take over Zone A gradually
and for Yugoslavia to keep Zone
B. Subsequent exchanges of
territory to bring predominantly
Italian areas back to Italy and
predominantly Yugoslavia areas
into Yugoslavia would not be
ruled out.
3. Neither the Italian nor the
Yugoslav proposals for settling
the problem is considered prac-
ticable at this time.

u. 5. Student Editors
Find Most Russians
Adjusted 10 Lot
BY the A.soeioted Press

BERLIN, Oct. 1.-TWO Amer
ican students just returned from
q two-week tour of Russia warn
against "wishful thinking" about
any anti-Soviet underground ex-
iSting in Russia.
"The people have a lower
standard than we do but they are
we'll adjusted to it, not only in
Moscow but all over" said o.
year -old Zander Hollander of
Brooklyn, former feature editor
of the University of Michigan
daily.
His companion, 23-year-old
Mark Emond of Boulder, Colo,
agreed.
The two travelled with Daniel
Berger, 81, of Great Neck, N. Y,
under special visas granted them
as college newspaper editors by
the Russians six weeks ago. Mr..
Berger stayed over in Leningrad
an extra day while Mr.. Hol-
lander and Mr.. Emond travelled
by train, arriving in the Russian
sector of Berlin this afternoon
on the famed Blue Express"
Bulk of People Satisfied.
The student editors declared
the Soviet population appears
happy" with its lot. Mr.. Hol-
lander added:
yes, there may be some dis
content here and there, but it
is not of the kind that any
foreign power can put to any
use"
They said the Russians on the
street were extremely glad" the
Korea war had ended in armis-
tice, taking it as a sign that
"the cold war between East and
West is lessening." Their
guides and interpreters were
willing to talk of Asia but SHE'D
away from the more COM
plicated question of divided
Germany, they said.
The question of the deposed
Soviet Police Chief Lavrenty
Beria was one of the touchy
subjects, Mr.. Hollander COM
mented.

But you could talk about it.
In all places where pictures of
