Presses For Creation Of Anti-Red Pact In Asia Bitter Trieste Dispute May Be Near End By ALLAN JACKS BELGRADE, Yugoslavia W—An Italian-Yugoslav settlement of the long and bitter Trieste dispute is expected momentarily by responsi- ble diplomats here. Barring a last-minute hitch, they say, announcement of agree- ment should come within the next two weeks. A settlement would end one of Europe’s thorniest postwar prob- lems. Coming at this time, it also would realize a desire of the United States and Britain to put the Italian-Yugoslav feud aside be- fore Yugoslavia, Greece and Tur- key conclude a proposed Balkan military alliance. The “Little foreign ministers are scheduled to sign the alliance in |. | Yugoslavia’s summer capital of Bled between July 13 and 18. Fi- nal negotiations on terms of the pact are now under way in Athens.

However, there will be two major’ differences so far as Yugo- slavia is concerned. The solution will be the result of negotiations and consultations in which Yugoslavia was included — not the case before Oct. 8. Yugo- slavia leaders learned of that de- cision only two hours before it was announced, And the settlement would recog- nize Yugoslavia’s claims to Zone B. The present border also may be redrawn slightly to give Yugo- slavia a few small Slovene com- munities in Zone A, Reds Playdown Toughness Of American B29 MOSCOW #—The Soviet armed forces are being told that the American B29 is not so tough and knock it down. This is put forth in an article published in Red Star under the by-line of Chou Bao-tun, Hero First Class of the (Communist) Chinese People’s Republic. (The propeller-driven B29 was an air giant in World War II and saw action in the Korean War. But it has been outclassed by much bigger and faster bomb-carrying jet planes now in service in the United States.) Fighter pilot Chou writes: “At first we could not achieve good results against the enemy heavy bombers. Many of our fliers could not learn how to gauge the distance for opening fire. The B29} is such a big plane that it seemed | to us to be closer than it was. In fact, while the distance was very great our fire was not ac- curate and fell short and.did no damage. . . . ‘ “But combat experience showed that American fighter pilots were in no hurry to help their bombers. | They thought much more about escaping themselves to get out of our fire. Then a careful analysis of the tactics of the invaders| showed that with skill and bravery our fliers could soon score good results in the fight against the Fly- ing Fortresses.” Catfish Queen Named SAVANNAKH, Tenn. — Seven- teen-year-old Ina Gene Turner, blonde of Tuscumbia, Ala., was | named National Catfish Queen here By JOHN M, HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (® — The United States pressed on today for early creation of an anti-Communist pact in Southeast Asia while hailing a victory over international commu- nism in Guatemala. Secretary of State Dulles cau- tioning that “communism is still a menace everywhere,” pledged the support of the United States yesterday to the people of Guate- mala in their efforts to build a “prosperous and progressive” and non-Communist nation. Several hours earlier, United States joined Australia and New Zealand in a declaration that there is “need for immediate action” to bring about early establishment of a collective defense in Southeast Asia. The three nations are signers of a mutual defense treaty. Dulles met yesterday with Australia’s Foreign Minister Richard G. Casey and New Zealand’s Ambassador Leslie Knox Munro. Together they form a council set up by the ‘‘An- zus” pact, which takes its name from initials of the three coun- tries. Their declaration went beyond the agreement on a Southeast Asian collective defense announced Monday by President Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Church- ill. The latter two said they would press forward with plans to se- cure Southeast Asia against com- munism whether the war in Indo- china is ended or continues. Diplomats agreed that the Anzus statement expressed a greater sense of urgency and implied that American consultation with the British government on future plans would be paralleled by talks with Australia, New Zealand and other nations having direct interest in stemming the Communist tide. It was understood too that Amer- ican officials believe concrete plans may be made shortly after July 10, when armistice negotia- tions between the French and Com- munist forces are supposed to be concluded. This would obviate wait- ing for the July 20 deadline for an Indochina peace settlement which was set by the new Mendes- France government at Paris. After he met with Casey and Monroe, Dulles went on nationwide radio and television networks to make a statement on the Guate- malan situation, which the Voice of America also broadcast over the world. Dulles said “international com- munism” had sought for years to establish a Red front in the West- ern Hemisphere by building up| power in Guatemala. He tied this operation directly to Moscow, say- ing the dramatic events of recent days — during which the pro-Com- munist government in Guatemala was overthrown — have exposed “the evil purpose of the Kremlin to destroy the inter-American system.” He also said this “intrusion of Soviet despotism was, of course, a direct challenge to our Monroe Doctrine — the first and most fundamental of our foreign poli- cies.” (The doctrine laid down by President Monroe in 1923 bars any extension of foreign power in the | Western Hemisphere.) “The need for vigilance is not | past,” he said. “Communism is | still a menace everywhere. But the people of the United States and of the other American republics can feel tonight that at least one grave danger has been averted... ” Looking to the future, he said: “The United States pledges itself not merely to political opposition to communism, but to help to al- leviate conditions in Guatemala and elsewhere which might afford | communism an opportunity to| spread its tentacles throughout the hemisphere.” Farm Price Decline Told ta26 eesslbylyyx bb4i0aed 1 WASHINGTON — Prices far-| mers received for their products dropped 4 per cent between mid- May and mid-June, but the decline was felt largely by commodities not directly involved in the con-| gressional battle over farm price | supports. Most of the decline in the farm price index announced yesterday | reflected a decrease of about 17) per cent in prices of hogs and an over-all decrease of 10 per cent in prices of all meat animals. Prices | of meat animals are not supported by the government. WHO’S GUILTY? ANGOLA, La. ( — The Angolite, weekly newspaper published by in- mates of the Louisiana Peniten- tiary, complained editorially here about thefts by its readers. “The Angolite leaves 100 papers on sale and sells 54,” the editorial said. “Who swipes the other 46?” last night at the start of the Na- tional Catfish Derby. Citizen Ads Bring Results Slain By Mate NEW YORK, ®—Did you know that the way you carry your wal- let reflects your personality almost as much as the way you wear your face? Howard N. Cooper, a psychia- trist, has analyzed the pocketbook- packing habits of American men and says they are “probably as good a test for individual psycho- logical factors as the projective Rorschach.” (Editor’s note: What is a pro- jective Rorschach — a protruding racehorse?) Boyle’s note: No, it’s an ink blot a psychiatrist makes. When he asks you what does the shape of the blot remind you of, and you say it reminds you of a girl, he makes a note in his book, “patient has girls on his mind.”) (Editor’s note: But what if the ink blot isn’t shaped like a girl?) Boyle’s note: How can you make an ink blot that doesn’t look like some girl?) Cooper (to get back to the sub- ject) found that many men today periodically shift their wallet from the back pocket of their trousers to their inside coat poc- ket. “That is a sign they feel inse- cure about people as well as wor- ried about the safety of their cash,” he said. “On the other hand, a man who carries his money in a metal clip separate from his wallet is less concerned over material’ wealth. But he is the type who hates to have the routine of his life upset. Iraq Farmers Need Simple Modernization By WILTON WYNN KIRKUK, Iraq (#—Horse collars and wagon wheels could revolu- tionize the farming industry of northern Iraq. That is the belief of a Montana county agent acting as a kind of agricultural ambassador for the United States among primitive farmers in the remote Kurdish country of northern Iraq. Henry Botch came here from Missoula, Mont., nearly two years ago as a Point Four farm demon- stration specialist. When he re- turns to America, he intends to leave here 13 well-trained young Iraqis to act as American-style county agents in this area. ' “Before we teach them to use tractors, we first have to teach them to use wheels—ordinary wagon wheels,” Botch says. The Iraqi farmers usual proce- dure is to cut wheat with hand seythes and pile it on a wooden rack. When the rack is filled, a donkey walks beneath and it is tied to his back. The overloaded little animal then goes to the village a few miles away, where the wheat is unloaded. The donkey returns to the field for another load. A donkey pulling a four-wheeled wagon could carry five or six times as much wheat per trip as he hauls on his back. But farmers here always have moved their! wheat by donkeyback, and they | won't change until they have seen | better methods with their own eyes. That is why Botch is bringing into this area a few simple farm | wagons of a type the farmers canj| build themselves. Once they see these wagons used, the American is sure they will begin building | their own. The same thing is true of good | antmal harness. The primitive | type harness used by farmers here | ing them when they pull a plow or water pump. If such simple devices are in-| troduced, Botch believes the Iraqi | farmer can break out of a cycle} of poverty in which ke has been| caught since civilized man first began farming the Tigris and Euphrates valley. Second Sister Is RADFORD, Va. — A Radford | woman was shot and killed by her | husband here late last night, police said — the second of two sisters | to’ be slain by her husband in six | weeks. | The husbands then committed | suicide in each instance. | | Officers said Guy Mills, 28, shot | | himself with a .22-caliber pistol aft- | jer first killing Mrs. Loma Faye |Wurzburger Mills. The couple’s small daughter was found unhurt in the Mills home here. | On May 19, Mrs. Joe D. Howell —Mrs. Mills’ sister—and her two | jyoung daughters were shot by | Howell, who then killed himself, | \also with a .22-caliber pistol, slows down their animals by chok- | P Hal Boyle Says He is less afraid of losing his cash than he is of losing his driver's license.” Dr. Cooper said the man who carries no wallet at all is either completely free and easy or so insecure that “he fights it by over compensating—by pretending he is careless about money. “A fourth type, the fellow who shifts his wallet from pocket to Pocket haphazardly, is probably in an emotional flux about what money—and other things in his life—really mean to him. He’s un- settled.” The psychiatrist said that the guy who keeps a cluttered wallet, full of cards he never throws away is related in type to the stamp collector. “He may be stingy, rigid of mind and stubborn. He is likely to be generous only in spirits. But a man with too neat a wallet may have even more of a withholding Personality than one with a messy wallet.” We all have met People who always have the exact change in their pocketbook for any situation-- whether it’s buying a newspaper, getting weighed, or tipping a waiter, “They don’t like to take the world as it comes,” said Dr. Cooper. ‘They want to be pre- Pared—and they don’t like to be pucbrised: They prefer a planned le. Can a girl choose a husband by the way he carries his wallet? “Well, the best husband,” said Dr. Cooper, “is the one who car- ries a wallet full of money at all times—and opens the wallet at her slightest whim.” About the thoughtless guy who marries and still keeps the pic- ture of a former girl friend in his wallet? “That probably shows an im- pulse toward self - destruction,” smiled Dr. Cooper.

(7—John Peny- iska opened his mouth three tines in Circuit Court Tuesday. Each time it cost him 30 days in jail. Judge Michael Carland told him to pay his wife Sally back alimony or serve 30 days in jail. “Tll take the days,” mumbled Penyiska. “That won’t wipe out the debt,” said the judge Penyiska voiced a protest. “Maybe 60 days would be bet- ter,” said the judge. “Make it 90 as long as I’m going to jail,” Penyiska barked. The judge complied.
