it will take no more than 40
days to two weeks" of discus
sions with the Communists to
complete arrangements for
Korean political conference.
IF we can't get a decision in
10 days or two weeks we prob

Mr. Dean, who opens the pre-

letting the Reds maneuver the
sessions into a de facto political
conference.
Hopes for United Korea.
The special envoy said earlier
or his arrival here that I'VE hope
and expect to bring about a free,
independent and united Korea
and the withdrawal of all Com

without the resumption of hos

He said the division of Korea
was wrong "but new war is not
the way to right such wrongs"
The United States State De-
partment official, who will speak
for the United Nations COM
mand during the talks, told a
news conference he has no idea
who will represent the Com
munists.
MI. Dean repeated that as

talks. But he said he would
listen to anything new the Reds
may have to say.

The Western powers apparent
ly have decided to let the Trieste
crisis cool off a bit before under
taking new moves for solution
of the YugoSlav-Italian dispute
over the territory.
A hint of such a decision
came late yesterday from Ital-
ian Ambassador Alberto Tar
chiani who said Italy will have
patience" about getting control
of the Trieste Zone A as prom
ised her in a British-American
announcement October 8.
Mr.. Tarchiani broke a stony
silence he had maintained on
the issue to talk freely with re-
porters after comforting for half
an hour with Secretary of States
Dulles.
He said he had received re-
newed assurances from Mr..
Dulles that the United States
and Britain would not recede
from their October 8 decision.
State Department Silent.
The State Department refused
any comment on this, although
Mr.. Dulles told news conference
earlier in the week that no
thought had been given to chang
ing the decision.
Ambassador Tarchiani empha-
sized to reporters that the deci-
sion must be carried out and
Italy actually be administering
Zone A before she will go into
a proposed five-nation conference
aimed at working out a solution
of the long-standing italian
Yugoslav dispute. He said this
is necessary to put Italy on
oasis of equality in the conference
with Yugoslavia which already
administers Zone B.
Yugoslavia, which originally
proposed a conference of the in
terested nations, insists that it
should be held before Italy is
given Zone A because Yugoslavia
cannot accept the proposed"
British-American decision.
With that deadlock between
Italy and Yugoslavia, American
officials indicated that formal
invitations to the conference
would be delayed until some
mutually satisfactory basis for
it can be found.

rouser. But he impresses people
with his sincerity.
Until Mayor Impelletteri was
ousted from the ballot, the three
Democrats spent great deal of
their time pounding each other.
The pounding still goes on with
Mr.. Wagner directing more of
his attacks against the Republi-
can. Mr.. Riegelman, since it now
appears Mr.. Riegelman offers the
stronger opposition.
Mr.. Halley's chief claim for
election is that both Mr.. Wagner
and Mr.. Riegelman. if either be-
comes mayor, will be dominated
by machine" organization.
Mr.. Wagner, he says. is now un-
mistakably the candidate of the
five county bosses, Roe, Suther-
land, Desapio. Buckley and Sui
livan. He insists that Mr.. Rie-
gelman, in addition to being an
Old Guard Republican, would be
subject to the Republican organ
ization, too. He insists that if
he, HALEY, becomes mayor, he
will clean up the place.
Mr.. Wagner, in his effort to
discredit the Republican can
dj6ate. has attacked the State
government and Gov. Dewey, 60
ing into the harness track scam
dals and seeking to link some
unidentified intimate of Gov.
Dewey and high officials in the
Eisenhower administration with
efforts to have Joey" Fay, con-
victed labor racketeer and ex-
tortioner, let out of prison. Gov.
Dewey has demanded that Mr..
Wagner name his mystery "Mr.
X.," but Mr.. Wagner has de-
c]ined to give the name and has
countered with a suit in court
to have the names of all persons
who wrote to the Parole Board in
the interest of parole for Fay
made public. Under the prac-
tice in this State. Parole Board
communications are held secret.
Already the names of nearly a
hundred of those who appealed
for FayS release have been made
public, by Mr.. HALEY, as have the
names of those who visited Fay
in Sing Sing. Included in the
last was the name of State Sen
ate President Wicks, who is act
ing Lieutenant Governor. But
nowhere. so far, has the name of
an important official in Wash
ington-one of the highest, as
Mr. Wagner put it-come into
the picture. Mr.. Wagner runs
the risk of becoming a gullible
laughing stock if none shows up.

West May Let Trieste Crisis
Cool Before Taking New Steps

Ambassador Tarchiani appar-
emily was prodded into abandon
ing his previous reluctance to
discuss the Trieste issue pub
licly by indications that Yugo-
slav diplomats were gaining
ground in efforts to win support
of American public opinion by
the tactic of talking freely.
An Italian Embassy Spokes-
man later told The Star that
the Ambassador had not had
such reasons for trying to influ-
ence American public opinion as
had Yugoslav diplomats.
1T was not up to us to explain
the rightness of our case, which
was recognized in the October
6 decision of the United States
and British governments" he
said.
He added that in efforts to
overturn that decision the Yugo-
slavs were attempting to "inf1u-
ence public opinion against a
decision of your Government" :"
He said the Italians were sat-
iSfled with the decision and so
had less reason to talk about it
publicly.
Agreement Is Awaited.
Ambassador Tarchiani told re-
porters the proposed conference
could be held as soon as Yugo-
slavia agrees in the general in
terests' for implementation of
the October 8 decision.
He was asked when he expect
ed that Italian troops would
enter Zone A to take over con-
troll from British-American
forces that have occupied it
since the end of World War II.
That was when he indicated
the new strategy of delay by
saying Italy does not want to
aggravate situation already
delicate and will have patience"
He added that when Italy does
have control of Zone A she will
negotiate with the allies and
Yugoslavia in an effort to find
"a final solution of the problem. +"
He also asserted that "it is alb
solutely certain that Italy will
never use force" to try to solve
the Trieste or any other prob
lem.

SpeIIman Rebukes
European Critics
Of fM'cCarthyism'
By the ASsocictsd Press

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Oct. "a.
Cardinal Spellman of
New York today rebuked Euro
pean critics of "McCarthyism,"
saying Americans would not be
dissuaded from their determina-
tion to root out Communist sub
version.
The New York archbishop, in
a speech prepared for a Roman
Catholic group sponsoring lee
lures by eminent personalities,
defended the procedure of con-
gressional committees investi-
eating communism. The cardi-
nal is visiting in Europe on his
return to the United States after
attending the dedication of the
North American Pontif1cal Col
lege in Rome.
Referring to what he termed
the "hysterical tone" of criticism
of committee procedure, Cardinal
Spellman asserted:
mo American uncontami-
mated by communism has lost
his good name because of con-
gressional hearings on un-Amer-
lean activities. However, there
are individuals who have serious
ly compromised themselves by
a fiat refusal to state whether
they are now or have been Com
muniStS. It is impossible for me
to understand why any American
should refuse to declare himself
free of Communist aff1iation,
unless he has something to
hide. :"
Supports Inquiries.
Cardinal Spellman declared
there were strong reasons for
the inquiries and added:
1.-THE anguished cries and pro-
tests against 'McCarthyism' are
not going to dissuade Americans
from their desire to see Com
munists exposed and removed
from positions where they can
carry out their nefarious plans.
If American prestige is going to
suffer in Europe because of this
understandable desire we have
to keep our free society immune
from Communist subversion,
then it seems more a reflection
upon European standards of
honor and patriotism rather
than ours :"
He said published reports that
Yugoslavia is exercised over
"McCarthyism" were particular
ly ironic to Americans to view of
Yugoslav treatment of the Cath
olic clergy.
Cardinal Spellman dealt also
with European criticism of the
treatment of the Negro in the
United States, and the handling
of the Rosenberg case.
Cites Negro Progress.
He said most Americans will
agree that the greatest single
failure of American democracy
has been it's failure with regard
to the Negro. But he added
that with the conscience of
America aroused by religious,
educational and political leaders,
the American Negro has made
rapid progress. achieving "the
sWiftest cultural rise of any race
in history"
Cardinal Spellman declared
that the RoSenbergs received
every protection under the demo-
cratic processes of justice. and
even the promise of Executive
clemency if they had made a
clean breast of their espionage
activities. He called attention to
the arrest of Lavrenti P. Beria,
and asked why Communists were
not protesting for justice in
Beria's behalf.
The cardinal spoke of Ameri-
cas- debt to Europeans for the
heritage left by them in the new
world. He appealed for true
friendship with the United
States, based on appreciation of
what America has done for Eu-
rope and what in turn Europeans
have contributed to the new
world.

Taft and Byrd Ready

By J. A. Oleory

Majority Leader Taft and
Senator Byrd. Democrat, of Vir-
ginia, were ready today to join
hands in rewriting on the Sen
ate floor the standby economic
controls recommended by the
Banking Committee.
AS the second day of debate

sored by Senator Capehart. of

Chairman, to empower President

emergency requires it.
Senator Taft, who lost no time
yesterday in denouncing the ten
dency in recent years toward de-
claring emergencies by White
House edict, said later he would
be satisfied if the Senate adopts
an amendment prepared by Sem
ator Byrd.
The Byrd amendment would
make the freeze effective only
upon declaration of war. or the
passage of a resolution by Con-
greSS.
Senator Taft told the Senate

emergencies as he was while Mr..
Truman was in the White House.
Senator Capehart retorted that
Congress vested in the President
the power to decide how many
men should be drafted into
the armed forces, and inquired
whether the material things COW
cred by the controls bill are more
important to ge kept in the
hands of Congress than the lives
of young men.
The pending bill, which is ex-
pected to pass before the end of
the week, also extends power the
administration wants to allocate
critical materials.
Other provisions of the bill
would:

Federal Reserve Board to impose
