Bids to Trieste Farley
From Bermuda Possible

BERMUDA, Dec. 4 Especially =
Possibility that formal invita-
tions to Italy and Yugoslavia for
a five-power conference to try
to solve their long dispute over
Trieste may be issued during the
Big Three conference here arose
today. British Foreign Secretary
Eden and French Foreign Minis
ter Bidault were reported to have
discussed the matter in a pre-
liminary meeting late yesterday.
The conference proposal has
been pending since the Big Three
Foreign Ministers last met in
London several weeks ago. For
NAL invitations have been held
up for efforts to reconcile Italian
demands that the United States
and Britain carry out their Octo-
ber 8 decision to give Italy con-
troll of Trieste Zone A before any
conference is held with Yugo-
Slav insistence that the confer
ence be held first.
Now, it is understood, agree
ment is near on a formula in
volving a face-saving for Italy
token transfer of some adminis-
trative authority in Zone A in
advance of the proposed confer
ence. But this would exclude
police authority and so save face
for Yugoslavia, too, by not
amounting to a complete trans
fer.

Observers viewed the plan as

Note on Gouzenko

The State Department today
awaited a reply from the Ca
madam government to a new re-
quest that Igor GouzenKo be
made available ror questioning
by the Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee.
A new note, asking the Ca
madam government to carry out
its offer of November 25, was
presented to the Canadian Am
bassador late yesterday.
1t relays to the Canadians
acceptance by the committee
headed by Senator Jenner of
Indiana of Canadian terms for
Mr.. Gouzenko's appearance be-
fore committee representatives.
Jenner and Morris Named.
, The Canadian government also
was advised that Mr.. Dulles had
designated as representatives
of the United States Government
to attend the meeting" Senator
Jenner and Robert Morris, coun-
sci of the subcommittee.
The note said it was assumed
that there would be no objection
to United States Ambassador to
Ottawa, Douglas Stuart, or his
representative, sitting in at the
meeting, as well as stenogra-
pher for the committee. The
note concluded:
1T has been suggested by Sen
ator Jenner.' and the Secretary
OF State agrees, that in order to
protect Mr.. Gouzenko's security
the arrangements for the time
and place for the meeting might
be communicated in reply by
word of mouth"
Relations Strained.
The committee has sought the
testimony of the former code
clerk of the Soviet Embassy in
Ottawa in the hope he might
throw new light on operations
OF a wartime Russian spy ring
in the United States Govern
ment. The pulling and pulling
over his appearance has severely
strained Canada's relations with
the United States in recent days.
A State Department spokes-
man 0nnnI1nntnn fhA -;
of the new request, emphasized
the State Department has no
idea whether or not Mr.. Gou-
zenko at this point is willing to
appear before the committee.
One of the conditions laid down
by Canada was that the witness
should agree to testify at the
risk of losing the anonymity
which has protected him since
1945 when he tipped off Ca
madam authorities to an espio-
mage ring in their own govern
ment.
May Not Want to Talk.
Newspaper reports have indi-
Gated Mr.. Gouzenko is not willing
to talk to committee representa-
tlves. He appears to have
changed his mind in light of the
Canadian governments posi-
ton, according to these reports.
No official statement of Mr..
Gouzenko'S attitude has been re-
ceived by the State Department,
however, the spokesman said. lz
