Yugoslavia Charges
Part of Trieste Is
Reunited to Italy
By tht Associated Press
LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 4—Yugo
slavia today charged the western
powers have, In effect, incorporated
part of Trieste into Italy.
Dr. Joza Vilfan, the Yugoslav rep
resentative, told the United Nations
Security Council the United States
and Britain are ooenly violating the
Italian peace treaty in an effort to
"bolster the reactionary forces of
Italy.”
"The only distinction between the
Anglo-American zone of the Free
Territory of Trieste and the Repub
1 lie of Italy,” Dr. Vilfan said, "is the
open occupation by the Anglo
American troops.’'
Dr. Vilfan called on the Council
to act quickly to prevent an alleged
British-American plot to turn over
all of Trieste to Italy.
Propaganda Aim Charged.
Philip C. Jessup, American dele
gate. replied with a charge that the
whole Yugoslav attack was designed
for propaganda purposes.
Dr. Jessup said the charges were
completely without foundation. '
The Council, he added,Jiad been
fully informed on the administra
tion of the Western power zone,
while Yugoslavia has kept its oper
ations in the Yugoslav zone shroud
ed in secrecy. He suggested that
the Council may desire to inquire
into what is happening in the Yugo
slav zone.
The British delegate, Sir Alex-!
ander Cadogan. supported Dr. Jes-j
sup’s declaration.
Cadogan said the fact Yugoslavia!
had made no reports "does notj
mean we are not aware of what is
going on in the Yugoslav zone—far
from it.”
"Later,” he said, “I may have
occasion to refer to some of the
more unpleasant features of what
has been going on.”
Another Report Expected.
The Western powers already have
submitted several reports to the
Council on difficulties allegedly
caused bv Communist infiltration
and by Yugoslav political agitation.
Another report on the Trieste situa
tion is expected in the next day or
two.
The Triests case first came before
the U. N. as the result of treaty
provisions agreed on by the Council!
of Foreign Ministers late in 1946.
The treaty provided that Trieste
would be administered by a gov
ernor to be appointed by the Secur
ity Council and that the U. N. would
guarantee the integrity of the!
territory.
Last spring, during the Italian
election campaign, the United i
States ana Britain proposed to
Russia that Triests be given back to
Italy. Russia refused. Informed t
quarters said Dr. Jessup probably
would call attention to this offer.

East-West highway in Takoma

also received basement-flood calls.
The bridge at Lincoln and Maple

Moscow
'Continued From First Page.'
Eisenhower’s one-time chief of staff,
is carrying the ball.
It was Gen. Smith who stepped
into the Moscow situation last Mon
day when some ‘ leaks” began de
veloping on the story.
He personally intervened with
warnings of the seriousness of the
talks and the necessity of keeping
silent.
In London informed Whitehall
'government) sources said today
that Britain's reaction to Russian
views on ending the East-West cold
war in Germany will reach Moscow
tonight.
A British message now is being
drafted by political and foreign of
fice chiefs who are in constant con
tact with their American and
French colleagues.
Gen. Sir Brian Robertson, British
military governor of Germany, ar
rived in London from Berlin this
morning after a short-notice sum-j
nons. He spent more man two
hours with Foreign Secretary Bevin.
In Paris the view prevailed that
the Western representatives would
see Mr Molotov again, at any rate,
although it was doubted that there
would be another meeting with Mr.
Stalin. French informants said all
signs pointed to a new Big Four con
ference on East-West problems and
that the groundwork obviously was
being laid now in Moscow.
American Ambassador Jefferson
Caffery called on French Foreign
Minister Robert Schuman today,
possibly to discuss the Moscow talks.
Ambassador Rene Massigli flew back
to London after being filled in on
the situation.
Reds Race Wes# to Create
First Postwar Constitution
BERLIN, Aug, 4 (fl*).—Communists
in Eastern Germany raced to beat
the West today in producing the
nation’s first postwar constitution.
Both groups have set September
target dates.
Berliners, meantime, voiced hope
that this week's Western power
talks with Prime Minister Stalin in
Moscow would result in an East
West compromise and early lifting
of the Berlin deadlock.
There was no official comment in
Berlin on the Moscow negotiations,
but it is known American and
British occupation commanders are
being kept advised of developments
by Washington and London.
Draft Ordered Prepared.
At the moment, interest centered
on the race to produce rival Ger
man governments.
The Communist-controlled peo
ple's council, after discussing the
draft for a "German democratic re
public’’ yesterday, ordered its Con
stitution Committee to complete the
document by the middle of Septem
ber. It will then be laid before the
Communist People's Congress for
approval.
The constitutional assembly as
proposed by the Western powers is
tentatively scheduled in Western
Germany for early September.
The constitution proposed by the
People’s Council will be drafted along
traditional Communist lines, with
representation in the two-house
Parliament not only for political
parties but also for mass organiza
tions such as trade unions, women's
and youth organizations.
The Communist constitution will
be drawn up to include all Germany.
Police Struggle Continues.
In Berlin, the struggle continued
between Communists and anti
communists for control of the city's
divided police force. Rival central
headquarters’operated in the Rus
sian sector and in the Western oc
cupation sectors.
The Socialists accused the Com
munist police of new political kid
napings in Berlin. They deplored
Communist tactics, warning that
they could lead to violence, espe
cially at the occupation sector
borders.
Anu-Communists interpreted the
mass rejection of Russian offers to
feed all Berlin as a political victory
over the Communists.
They observed that only about
21.000 of Western Berlin’s 2,075,000
Soviet-blockaded inhabitants had
accepted the Communist food offer,
or scarcely more than 1 per cent.
That figure, they said, included
thousands of children and youths
under voting age. Thus it was far
short of the 179,124 votes the Com
munists received in the three west
ern sectors in the October, 1946,
municipal elections. Even then
their party finished a poor third in
a field of four with only 19 per cent
of the total Berlin vote.
MATS Indicates Shift
Of More Planes to Reich
An indication that additional large
cargo planes may be thrown into
the Berlin air lift came today with
the re-shuffling qf schedules by the
Military Air Transport Service.
MATS began streamlining its op- j
eration as the last planes on its'
transcontinental run—National Air
port to San Francisco—departed.
This service, along with a supple
mentary Southern loop, is being sus
pended in order to make 28 planes
available to carry food and supplies
into Berlin over the Russian block
ade.
How many of MATS’ other big
planes might be sent overseas de
pends on what requests are made

I backing a presidential candidate of
j their own, Gov. J. Strom Thurmond
jof South Carolina. Others have de
clared they won’t vote for Presi
dent Truman. Alabama and Mis
sissippi electors have been formally
instructed not to support him.
Money Is Withheld.
Most of the Southern States have
refused to come across with money
for the party war chest.
But in the face of all this, Senator
McGrath said he thinks things will
work out in November.
"President Truman is not going
to lose the electoral vote of any
Southern State—wait and see," he
said.
He didn’t say so. but it appar
; ently is Senator McGrath's idea
that Mr. Truman will carry the
solid South in the popular vote.
If the President does, some Demo
cratic officials think the electors’
pledges to vote against him would be
reversed speedily.
There is no evidence that the
South's anger over Mr. Truman s
civil rights program has cooled. •
Some Southerners Hedging.
But there are signs that some of
the Dixie Democrats in Congress
who are up for re-election this year
are hedging against a revolt.
One of these, Senator Robertson
of Virginia, declined to bolt the
ticket and was renominated in yes
terday's primary.
Republicans have their eyes on
Virginia. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey,
the GOP presidential nominee,
polled 38 per cent of the vote there
in his 1944 race against the late
President Roosevelt.
Victor Johnston, new head of the
GOP National Committee's Volun
teer Division, said his unit will seek
to organize Dewey-Warren Clubs in
the State. His division aims at the
independent vote and will be active
in other Southern and Border
States, as well as in the North, Mr.
Johnston said.

ant Corporation Counsel, Lloyd B.'
Harrison, the city law department's*’
public utilities expert, objected to 1
admission of the WCCP as an in- |
tervener on the grounds that it had j1
not filed its petition five days before j
the hearings began July 13 and that i
it did not have proper credentials!
from the component groups. i I
Four Individuals Testify.
The four persons who testified on
their own behalf against the in- i
crease today were P. H. Delaplane
of the Arkansas Avenue Community (
Association, Mrs. Bryson G. Me- j
Ilwee, 507 Quackenbos street N.W;i
Owen S. Parmelee, treasurer of t.he
Glover Park Citizens’ Association
and William B. Saunders, 1518 Ktug 1
street N.W. 1
Mr. Delaplane declared the mass
of Capital Transit evidence in- 1
eluded much ‘‘trick mathmematics.” ;
He declared Capital Transit op- I
erates its rush hour streetcar and
busses ‘‘on a sardine basis” in- *
stead of a “service basis.” '1
In voicing his opposition to the
proposed fare increases, Mr. Dela- i
plane declared that elimination of ,
two man cars and changeover from i
streetcars to busses saved money ,
for Capital Transit. He added that
the changeover from tracks to bus
ses merely passed along the main
tenance cost from the company to
the District.
50 Per Cent Increase Cited.
He testified that the proposed in
creases would comprise a 50 per
cent increase in the cash fare, a *
25 per cent increase in the token |
fare and a 20 per cent Increase in ■
the pass price.
Mr. Saunders, who said he was a
transportation consultant, said he
believed Capital Transit should get
a fair return on its investment, but
objected to the approach the com
pany is taking. He declared they
are losing two kinds of riders: The
long-haul rider who prefers to use
nis own car ana the snort-haul
rider because he would prefer to
walk rather than pay 15 cents.
Mr. Saunders declared he would
favor rone fares which, he said,
would substantially increase Capital
Transit’s revenue without discour
aging the patronage of short-haul
riders.
Mr. Pannelee pointed to certain
“discrepancies” in statements by
transit officials and in official
organs of the company in stating
his opposition to the proposed fare
increase.
Capital Transit’s witnesses last
month had testified the company
will face a (600,000 deficit by next
summer unless fare increases are
granted. The Public Utilities Com
mission is expected to announce its
decision some time between con
clusion of the headings tomorrow
and August 15.
Inflation
iContinued From First Page.i
“any idea” that the legislation is
going to be translated—at least im
mediately—into lower prices.
The President’s anti-inflation
measure, the multi-billion dollar
excess profits tax, is not as tough
as the wartime measure.
For one thing, it would hit only
about 25,000 of this Nation's 360,
000 corporations now filing tax
returns.
Smaller corporations are exempt,
and those formed since 1940 are
specially favored.
New Exemptions Provided.
The tax would work like this:
Before a corporation would be taxed,
it could add 40 per cent to its
average profits for the 1935-39
period, plus $50,000. The tax on
profits exceeding 140 per cent of
the base period would begin at
>0 per cent, and run up to a maxi
mum of 80 per cent on earnings in
excess of 175 per cent of the 1935-39
period.
Corporations formed since 1940
would receive another $50,000 ex
emption.
As Mr. Truman asked for an ex
cess profits tax, Marriner S. Eccles,
former chairman of the Federal
Reserve board, came out with a
sharp attack on the Administra
tion’s program.
Mr. Eccles, still a member of the
board, offered a seven-point pro
gram of his own after declaring
there seemed to be “more politics
than economics’’ in Mr. Truman’s
program.
F.ccles Is Not Optimistic.
Mr. Eccles was not optimistic. He
varned that a “catastrophic” defla
ion might result if the question of
nflation controls is not divorced
rom politics.
“There isn’t much use talking
ibout controlling inflation,” he said,
unless fiscal policy calls for a
>udget surplus.”
He offered this program:
1. A balanced budget and a budg-'
it surplus.
2. Restore consumer credit con
rols. including those on installment
>uying.
3. Restrict bank credit. ,
4. Encourage the States to cut
iown spending, and let the Federal
government “set an example.”
5. Don't let “political reasons"
ead the Government into backing
l housing program in excess of ma
erials and labor available.
6. Bring down food prices “by en
:ouraging more and not less pro
iuction.”
7. “Adjourn political considers
ions * * * and both parties * * •
:onsider honestly and openly the
iconomic facts of life.”

Court to Write Ordei
For Joint Fare Ban
A three-judge tribunal in District
Court today took over the task ol
writing an order to carry out its
preliminary injunction relieving the
Capital Transit Co. of joint fares
with two Virginia bus companies
The joint fares were ordered by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Attorneys for the company, foi
the Attorney General smd for the
Washington, Virginia & Maryland
Coach Co., one of the two Virginia
lines involved, each presented a dif
ferent order to the court today
There was discussion on technics:
details and the court finally said it
would draw up the order.
Under the injunction the court
has ruled that Capital Transit
should continue to accept joint fare
tickets for passage on its lines, but
must collect an additional 3 cents,
giving the passenger a receipt.
These receipts are being printed
by the Globe Ticket Printing Co. at
its Atlanta plant. Capital Transit
said it expects to get the receipts
tomorrow.
