Trieste

THE UNITED STATES and Brit
4 ain last week prepared to
withdraw their occupation troops
from Zone A of the Free Territory
of Trieste. The decision left
Yugoslavia and Italy to hammer
out their differences over the tiny
port area at the head of the
Adriatic Sea as best they could
That some sort of compromise
would eventually be reached was
the confident belief of American
and British planners who master
minded the change. The two gov
ernments announced they would
give Italy temporary control of
Zone A, which includes the main
port area. This, they believed would
place her on an equal bargaining
basis with Yugoslavia which con-
trolls Zone B and its predominantly
Italian popuiace. The theory was
that out of this would come better
access to the port for YugoSlavia,
and, in return, better treatment Of
Italian nationals in Zone B. In
this way the allies hoped to avoid
any real showdown between the

conventional types, and we must
furthermore conclude that the
powerful explosion of August IL
last was produced by a weapon,
or the forerunner of a weapon, of
power far in excess of the con-
ventional types.
"We, therefore, conclude that the
SovietS now have the capability of
atomic attack on us, and such
capability will increase with the
passage of time"
In answer to questions, he said
he was working awfully hard on
speech describing the atomic threat
and the steps being taken to
counter it. Whether the defense
would mean further poStponement
of a balanced budget he would not
say. Nor would the President
promise a balanced budget for
any specific date-June or July /,
1855, for instance.
Operation Confusion had ended,
but Operation Candor apparently
had not started. The public was
not yet to be let in on the truth
about the atomic threat and the
American policy of defense.
Evening star., 1953-10-11
NonzAggression

TT BECAME APPARENT last
L week that Western foreign pol
icy was looking in new direction.
Instead of waiting for the Com
muniStS to show some sign of be-
ing genuinely willing to negotiate
settlement of cold war differences,
the West now is looking for ways
to encourage Russia to be rea-
sonable.
The most talked-of idea was a
non-aggression pact or series of
pacts between Communist coun-
tries and the allies.
Prime Minister Churchill had
suggested some sort of modern
"Locarno" treaty in May. His ref
erence was to the principle of sew
eral treaties signed in the COS in
which hostile nations agreed not
to go to war with each other. Mr..
Churchill indicated a series of
such agreements today would as
sure the Communists they had no
reason to fear attack from the
West and would clear the air for
fruitful negotiations.
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of
Germany made a similar suggeS-
ton this summer. Adlai Steven
son took up the idea last month
and recommended its study to the
Republicans during White House
chat with the President.
Last week the President and Sec
retary of State Dulles confirmed
that this country was looking for
some such move to break the in
ternational tension.
Dulles Ideo
A non-aggression pact by itself
would be somewhat meaningless"
Mr.. Dulles said. But mutual as
surances combined with other dip
lomatic moves might be valuable;
he indicated. The Secretary said
the United Nations charter was II
self a non-aggression pact, binding
all member nations to peaceful
settlement of their differences.
There were other reports last
week that what Mr.. Dulles had in
mind for a new diplomatic move
was this: Offer the Russians
mutual guarantee of non-aggreS-
sion, which would apply most spe-
cifically to Western Germany, and
at the same time request that
both Communist and allied troops
withdraw from Germany and that
a neutral, disarmed zone be estab-
lished along the Oder -NeiSse border
Of Germany. The allies would not
Evening star., 1953-10-11

Tito repeatedly agreed to the idea
in private conversations with Brit
iSh Foreign Minister Anthony Eden
as long ago as last spring. His
actions seemed to verify this.
Although he denounced the allied
move as an unjust and danger
Gus" unilateral violation of the
Italian peace treaty, and sent army
units into Zone B, he also proposed
a compromise which amounted to
acceptance of the allied plan.
Zone A, he said, should be made
an autonomous unit under Italian
control for 40 or more years."
and Zone B should be given similar
status under YugoSlavia.
This seemed to indicate that the
crisis would be over in Belgrade
as soon as the crowds got tired of
throwing rocks-providing Britain
and the United States were willing
to help Tito save face with his
own people.
In Rome, though the transfer
represented a definite cbackdown
from a t948 declaration by Britain,
France and the United States ia
voring the return of the entire
territory to Italy, the Italian gov
ernment accepted the new move
with realistic approval. 1t rep
resented a step in the direction
Italy wants to go, and no one in
Rome was going to blunder for
ward with any perfectionist de-
mand for all of Trieste right now.
Evening star., 1953-10-11

promise to accept forever the
Oder-NeiSSe boundary for Ger
many nor would the allies accept
Russian domination of the Eastern
European satellites" The West
would merely forswear armed rec
tification of those mistakes.
President Eisenhower said later
at his press conference that non
aggression pacts were being con-
sidered, but he said also there was
no new plan for highest-level
Big Four conference to work out
such pactS.
European Moves
Meanwhile, it was announced in
Bonn, Germany, and in London
that Big Three representatives
and the Germans were talking
over new diplomatic moves, in
Guiding non aggression pacts.
France, however, took off on her
own last week and proposed Big
Five conference-to include Red
China-on Far Eastern affairs.
Such suggestion from Russia had
been turned down by the Big
Three. There was no comment
last week from Washington or
London on the French proposal.
1t seemed the West would have
little to lose and something to
gain from a try at some sort of
non-aggreSsion pact with Russia.
1t has never been allied policy to
attack Russia or her satellites, SO
no harm could come from saying
SO on paper. And if Russia is
genuinely afraid of the West, a
pact might encourage her to relax
the cold war. Withdrawals from
Germany would of course be gain
to the West.
There are political drawbacks,
however. Senate Majority Leader
Knowland criticized the "Locarno"
approach last week. If free cleo
tions throughout the satellites
were not made condition to sign
ing such pact, he said, then the
satellites would be condemned to
perpetual slavery under the Com
munists. He pointed out, further
more, that Russia's signature on
any treaty was worthless.
Apparently the diplomats
wanted to give it a try, however.
If Russia rejected the plan or vio-
lated a pact, it would at least be
clear to the countries that have
been clamoring for a new ap-
proach to the SovietS that it was
communism, not democracy that
was at fault.

Labor

THE PRESIDENT reached into
l. the Department of the Army
last week to plug the hole in the
Department of Labor. To succeed
Martin P. Durkin as Secretary of
Labor, he named James P. Mitchell
of New Jersey, Assistant Secretary
of the Army for manpower. At
the same time he announced the
resignation of Lloyd A. MaShburn
as Undersecretary of Labor.
Mr.. Mitchell, So, former di-
rector of personnel and industrial
relations for r. H. Macy g. Co.,
and later vice president Of
Bloomingdale Bros department
store in charge of labor re-
lations and operations, served dur
ing World War II as director Of
the War Departments Industrial
Personnel Division and as alter
nate for the Undersecretary of War
on the War Manpower Commission.
He also served as member of the
Personnel Advisory Board of the
Hoover Commission in 1948, chair
man of the Employe Relations
Committee of the National Retail
Dry Goods Association, member
of the Executive Committee of the
National Civil Service League and
chairman of the Executive Com
mittee to the Retail Labor Stand
ards Association of New York.
From 1910 to 1943 he was a men,
ber of the National Building
Trades Sterilization Board, which
set uniform working conditions for
building trades working on Fed
eral projects.
Mixed Reaction
The President praised Mr..
Mitchell as man of great char.
acter whose interest is in people
and not necessarily in the eco
nomic processes of the country.
Labor's first reaction was mixed.
President George Meany of the
AFL declined immediate COM
ment; President Walter Reuther
