Signing Of Trieste
PACT Believed Near
By the Associofed Press

YugoSlavia and Italy may sign
within a few days an agreement
finally settling the long dispute
over Trieste territory, which has
disrupted their relations since
the end of World War II.
Britain and the United States
have pressed hard for an agree
ment for several months. Offlcials
are cautiously hopeful that
settlement may be concluded at
a meeting in London late this
week or early next week.
They are cautious mainly be-
cause the dispute has appeared
several times before to be at the
point of decision and then some
last minute hitch has arisen to
cause further delay.
Two weeks ago Secretary of
State Dulles sent Deputy Under
secretary of State Robert
Murphy to Europe primarily to
press Yugoslav and Italian lead
ers to clear away this last
obstacle and reach a final settle
ment.

Becomes Associate
Director of Wife's
Private School

DR.. Harold E. Warner, re-
tired principal of Hine Junior
High School, is having as much
fun in retirement as he had on
the job.
One of the reasons is that he
still is in the business. Besides.
hes a pretty good piano player.
~-one of his favorite numbers
ssbeing the Hine alma mater
song, Hail to Hine Junior High
School," which he composed.
He played it during an inter-
view last night at his combina-
ton home and school at 81l4
Carroll avenue, Takoma Paris
Md. The house contains five pi-
amos, plus a xylophone.
Retired last August, DR.. War

a pleasant coterie of pupils at
their school. He has devoted his
services to thousands of them
during his 81 years Of service as
Hine principal. Now he's assocl-
ate director of the Cynthia
Warner School in Takoma Park,
a private elementary school
which his wife has been running
for more than 20 years.
Varied Side Careers.
When he wrote his doctoral
thesis, DR.. Warmers love of edu-
cation first showed. He SUR
veyed the programs of every
Junior high school in the Nation

more population.
His career includes 80 years
of teaching in the District

ration, university teaching at
American University. and Wilson
Teachers College, tremendous
organization work in the school
system, public speaking, COM
mittee work. civic achievements
both in city and county citizens
associations, fraternal affiliations
and even, in the early days. con-
siderable business experience.
He taught at the old Eastern
High School and remained when
Eastern was moved. The Board
of Education placed him in
charge of Eastern High School,
in the same building in 1923. DR.
Warner remained when the name
was changed to Hine. He grew
with Hine and, in his friendly
way. inspired it's students.
Even up until last year, ]
felt that thesis helped me-" he
said. MY Junior high programs
were drawn up in consideration
of the information I gathered
from it."
Dr.. Warmers life, however, also
has been devoted to his own chill
dren. There are five of them
