Tito Held Pressing
For Talks on Trieste
BY the A.soe;a,ed Pres,

Yugoslavia today was reported
to be pressing for informal talks
on the Trieste dispute as a pre-
liminary step toward setting up
a five-power conference.
The United States, Britain and
France favor holding such a con-
ference. Negotiations to arrange
it have been underway for sew
eral weeks. with France taking
the lead.
These negotiations appear to
have deadlocked, however, over
the positions of Italy and Yugo-
slavia, the principal parties in
the dispute.
Italy's position is that it will
not go into a conference unless
the United States and Britain
have first turned over Zone A to
Italian control. as they have an
nounced they intend to do even
tually.
Yugoslavia's position is that q
conference must be held prior
to the release of Zone A to Italy.

SHAFTSBURY, VT, Nov. 49,
A second book has been banned

to the book have been listed by
the Attorney General Office as
belonging to subversive organ
izations." He did not identify
the contributors.
The first book battle was over
an official State history written
under a $4,000 grant from the
State Legislature. Mr.. Jewel
said he saw nothing subversive
in that volume.

Appeals Court Asked
To Reinstate Counts
Against Lattimore
BY the Assoeio..d Pres.

The Government yesterday
again asked the United States
Court Of Appeals for the District
of Columbia to reinstate four
counts of the seven-count per-
jury indictment returned against
Owen baltimore last December.
The four counts were dis
missed by the U. s. District
Court for the District of Column
bia earlier this year as being too
vague to be brought to trial.
In q brief filed with the ap-
peals court by United States At
torney Leo A. Rover and a group
of special assistants to Attorney
General Brownell, the Govern
ment described as devoid of
substance" Mr.. Lattimore'S con-
tention that the indictment was
too nebulous and indefinite for
him to prepare a defense.
They asked the Appeals Court
to rule that the District Court
erred in stripping the indictment
down.
Accused Of Perjury.
Mr.. baltimore. former State
Department advisor and Johns
Hopkins professor, was accused
in the December indictment of
lying when he swore before the
Senate Internal Security sub
committee more than a year ago
that he was neither a "Sympa-
thizer" nor a promoter" of COM
muniSm.
After the District Court dis
missed four of the counts, the
Government appealed to the
higher court. Principal briefs
were filed by both sides several
weeks ago and yesterdays filing
by the Government was in the
form of a further reply brief.
1T is not the matter of pre-
pairing his defense which obvi-
ously troubles the appellee Gat-
timore9 here" it said. "He
desires to maintain a shifting
defense. He exhibits no will
ingness to prepare his defense
upon the basis of his statement
as he understood it (which is
his only burden).
Different Meanings.
"He says he wants to know
how the Government understood
it, as if his words had two en-
tirely different meanings. In his
view, if the Government contends
he meant one thing, then he
must alter his defense to meet
this line of attack; if the Govern
ment gives his word q different
meaning, he must shift to
meet that.
"Such reasoning, of course, en-
tirely misses the issue involved
in a perjury indictment. viz: Did
the accused willfully falsify his
oath by testifying to the truth of
matter which he did not be-
lieve to be true?

to prepare defense to a count

him upon his own words is, we

German Students
Still Garry On
|Duels In Secret
BY RICHARD K. o'MALLEY

FRANKFURT, Germany R-
German students are still hacking
away at each other with swords
for the glory of tradition.
AS far back as 1872, student
dueling was banned. But duels
have been going on secretly ever
since. Some authorities looked the
other way when clubs met to deal
out scars. And in parts of West
Germany this still is the prevail
ing attitude.
In Frankfurt, however, the DO.
lice try hard to halt the duels
whenever they get wind of them.
Some Germans defend the prac-
tice as no worse than boxing.
Germans who have seen American
football think dueling is fairly
tame.
Under strict regulations, serious
injury is rare and the usual wound
is sword cut along the forehead.
A cheek wound is sometimes In
flicted but the man who dished il
out is automatically disqualified in
a match.
Secret student duels are held in
attics of buildings where legal
fencing practice is carried on.
That way the neighbors don't get
alarmed when they hear the clank
of steel on steel.
Dueling rules are Stricter than
regulations at Aicatraz.
Both contestants are swathed in
leather jenkins with metal protec-
ton around the heart. Throat ar
teries are covered with thick leath-
er wrapping, and special eye and
nose pieces are mandatory.
DuelistS face each other at a
prescribed distance bout ga
feet, or the length Of the sword
and they mustn't bulge during the
fight. Blows must be aimed at the
top of the head.
Disqualification and chances of
0isapproval go along with any
flinching, turning of the head or
expressions of diStaste.
Fighting is done by rounds, four
thruSts to a round, with the arms
always raised high so that the
business end Of the sword slashes
downward. Weapons are duh ex-
cept for the final three inches,
which are honed to a keen double
edge. There must be 80 rounds,
or 120 SlaSheS, before bout is
over-unleSS a contestant is dis
qualified for batting an eye, lean
ing backward or dropping his
arm.
Seconds are on watch at all
times to make sure everything is
done according to a tradition
which began in the days of ar
mored knights. And a doctor with
needle and thread is a must.
