The legal profession is still
blushing over this one.
It is the case of 47-year-old
Wade Bennett, who lives on
NAPLES Mill road near Vienna,
in Fairfax County.
Mr.. Bennett was arrested last
month and charged with pulling
up a boundary stake dividing
his property from that of John
R. Morgan.
The case first was tried in
Fairfax Trial Justice Court. Mr..
Bennett retained two attorneys
to help defend him. He was
convicted and fined $500 under
a State law prohibiting destruc-
ton of boundary markers.
Yesterday without aid of legal
counsel Mr.. Bennett appealed
the case to a Fairfax Circuit
Court jury and was acquitted.
He's even going to get his money
back.
Circuit Judge Arthur w. Sin
clair. who presided at yesterdays
hearing, asked Mr.. Bennett at
the outset if he had a lawyer.
Mr.. Bennett pulled Bible from

Dulles to Fly to London to See

Russia Puts Trieste Before UN.
Vishinsky Asks
Security Council
To Act Quickly
BY the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Oct.
10. Russia demanded today
that the United Nations Security
Council try again to set up an
international administration for
the free territory of Trieste.
Chief Soviet Delegate Andrea
Y. ViShinSky called on the coun-
Gil to Jump into the explosive
Trieste question forthwith"
He submitted resolution for
action by the 11-nation Council
which would:
l. Appoint Col. Hermann Fluck-
iger as governor of the disputed
region at the head of the Adri-
attic Sea.
2. Set up a provisional council
to help him govern the area.
3. Establish the complete in
dependence of a free territory
of TrieSte-including both Yugo-
slav-occupied Zone B and A
which. has been controlled by
British and American troops
within three months after the
appointment of a governor.
Was Rejected in 1949.
The council rejected a similar
Russian resolution May 10, 1949.
Russia has already accused
the United States and Britain of
a grave violation" of the Italian
peace treaty by their decision to
turn over administration of their
occupation zone of Trieste to the
Italians.
The Italian peace treaty called
for a solution similar to that
proposed today by Russia, but
the cold war has prevented i'm
fermentation.
The anglo-American decision
reused the wrath of President
Tito of Yugoslavia, who notified
the U. N. yesterday that such a
Shift-over constituted a threat
to international peace.
Also Asks Conference.
He also asked for conference
with Britain, the United States
and Italy to try to work out an
agreed solution.
Under the U. N. Charter such
direct consultations among the
parties directly concerned are
supposed to take place before
the Security Council is brought
into the picture. However, the
Council already has the problem
on its inactive agenda because of
it's responsibility under the Ital-
ian treaty and therefore diplo-
mats believed Russia felt she
could ignore the first step.
1t was reliably reported that
Yugoslav delegates here had
tried to discourage Mr.. ViShinsky
from bringing the question to
the Council at this time, but had
no luck.

With Washington showing no
signs of backing down from the

out of Zone A of the strategic

Rhee Sets February DeodIine
For Concrete Action on Korea
Fears Allies Will Let Reds ProIong
Start Of Political Conference Indefinitely

mitted themselves as to what
happens if the conference is de-
layed, as it is certain to be. The
United States and Korea have
agreed to walk out of the politi-
cal talks if they make no head
way after three months. But
that promise does not seem to
apply to a postponement in the
start of the conference itself.
President Rhee apparently sees
the possibility that the Reds
will try to delay the formal open
ing indefinitely and that the
allies will go along with them.
This is what he means by "con-
crete action toward unification"
in setting his January deadline.
Time a Big Factor.
Time is of the essence, he says.
because the Communists are COL
onizing North Korea, bringing
their women and children with
them There have also been we'll
authenticated reports that they
are building up their military
forces and air strength in vio-
lation of the truce terms. Above
everything else, Mr.. Rhee wants
to avoid a delay that would give
the Reds time to consolidate
their position.
Mr. Rhee did not say what he
would do if the political con-
ference starts sometime after
October q, but before the end
of January. Possibly however,
if the conference is under way
before the January deadline, and
appears to be making progress,
it would satisfy Mr.. Rhee's de-
mand for concrete action" to-
ward peaceful unification.
President Rhee told The Star
that he hopes that peaceful
approach to unif1cation will bear
fruit. But he also expressed the
hope that if no Roadway is made
by then the United States and
the U. N. will have learned that
they must resist Communist en-
croachment by any means lin

Some District Banks
Raise Interest 10 ~;
Others Weigh Action
Many in Virginia
Paying New Rate;
Maryland May Follow

Some Washington banks to-
day announced they were raising
interest rates on savings &C
counts to 2 per cent, in keeping
with a national trend.
A survey showed that many
Virginia banks had instituted
the higher rate year or two
ago, and that Maryland con-
Germs are considering favorably
a similar boost.
On a large proportion of the
affected deposits the new inter-
est rate will be four times that
of the old.
In the District, Riggs National,
American Security & Trust Co.
and National Capital Bank an
nounced the 2 per cent rate will
cover amounts from 500 to
$4,000, with l per cent on
sums exceeding $4,000.
Meeting Today.
Hamilton National has insti-
tuted an across-the-board 2 per
cent rate. National Savings is
holding a board meeting this
afternoon to act on the matter
and Liberty National is conSid-
ering some action.
Union Trust Co. started the
ball rolling in Washington on
December /, 1851, with an across
the board 2 per cent rate, but
others hold to the old rate of !
per cent for $1,000 and half of
l per cent for accounts above
this amount.
There is a Federal regulation
limiting a banks real estate
loans TO so per cent of the saw
ings deposits on hand.
In recent months, four of the
% member associations of the
District Building and Loan
League have raised interest
rates.
Most banks compute interest
at quarterly intervals on the
minimum amount in deposit
during the period.
2 Per Cent Paid Nearby.
A survey showed the Citizens
National Bank of Alexandria and
the Arlington Trust Co. have
been paying as high as 2 per
cent for about two years. Clar-

SEOUL. Oct. 13.-If no con-
crete action toward the peace
full unif1cation of Korea is taken
by the end of January, President
Syngman Rhee will consider that
his freedom of action has been
restored.
In an exclusive interview to-
day, the Korean chief executive
announced that when his Janu-
airy deadline is up he will ap-
proach the United States and
the United Nations on other
methods of unification.
President Rhee made it clear
that the only alternative method
of uniflcation he sees Is military.
At the same time, President
Rhee made no threat of taking
matters into his own hands if
he is dissatisfied with progress
made toward Korean unification.
He showed no inclination to lead
South Korea on solo march
to the Yalu. His emphasis was
on his intention to make strong
representations to the Western
allies for new concerted action
in Korea,
