THE TRIESTE MUDDLE: ‘‘The
Trieste affair, we are afraid, is
just the latest and most shocking
evidence of something which is
quite wrong with American diplo
macy and with the established ways
of selecting the highest diplomats.
, . . This nation has committed it
self to building up a network of
interlocking confederations and
alliances, all dedicated to the cause
of freedom. But when it comes fo
pulling this farsighted program|
into effect, our diplomacy still pre
fers to get into a huddle with each
nation separately, one by one. The
corners in the corridors are still
largely preferred to the conference
hall. . . . N ow. if the irate national
isms of the two nations involved
can ever be assuaged, the Trieste
problem may he dealt with in an
international conference — exactly
the same kind of conference that
should have been called in the first
place.”

OIL. BLOOD. AND POLITICS:

not secure, fifty-three per cent of the
oil reserves available to the Pest are

build a defensive coalition out of a
collection of weak Arab stales, an un

isn't on speaking terms with anybody
else in the “region.”

First Scout Battalion
Concludes Two Weeks Of
Training At Camp Denali
ANCHORAGE, UP)— Men of the
Alaska National Guard’s First
Scout Battalion concluded two
weeks of training at Fort Richard
son’s Camp Denali Saturday and
headed via a sprawling airlift
back toward their arctic homes.
Meanwhile, nearly 400 mem
bers of the Second Scout Battalion
are preparing to mass in staging
areas of the Kuskokwim and Yu
kon River deltas for their own
flight to the Army operated camp
area.
First Scout Battalion officers
were told at Camp Denali last
week by Maj. Gen. William M.
Miley, top Army officer in the
territory, that “you are doing a
job that is of great importance to
us.”
There is no other organization
in Alaska, Miley said, “that could
replace the Alaska National
Guard. Our own Army troops
coulln’t possibly do the job.”

U.S. Cautious As
Russia Moves For
4-Power Meeting
WASHINGTON, 05V- The United
States probably will ask Britain
and France, when representatives
of the three meet at Bermuda, to
get set to counter any Russian
plan for stalling the European
Army project through a four-pow
er meeting.
Since the Soviets Thursday
night sprang their surprise accep
tance of a four-power meeting
without the hampering conditions
that they had insisted on earlier,
the State Department has been
considering what reply the West
ern Big Three might make.
Although the United States pub
licly has taken a much dimmer
view of the outlook for success of
a Big Four meeting than have its
allies, * it seemed almost certain
that the session of foreign minis
ters will be held, if the Soviets
mean what they now say.
But informed observers said
that when President Eisenhower,
Prime Minister Churchill and
Premier Daniel meet with their
foreign ministers in Bermuda this
Friday, the United States spokes
man will call for tight arrange
ments to be made against Soviet
disruptive tactics.

Canadian Priest
Tells Of Inhumane
Treatment by Reds
HONG KONG, (#)—A Canadian
Roman Catholic missionary said
Saturday his Chinese Communist
jailers once tied a string to his
nose and led him around like an
animal in an attempt to make him
confess he was a spy.
The priest, the Rev. Antonio
Bonin, 52, of Lanoraie, Quebec,
reached Hong Kong last week
after the Communists finally ex
pelled him from North China.
Father Bonin said the string-in
nose episode occurred at Pai
chungtze, Manchuria, where he
had been imprisoned in February,
1948. He said he was dubbed and
spat on so many times he often
felt like a beast but refused to
“confess.”
For three months in 1952, he
added, he was denied water to
wash his hands and face with the
result that he now is suffering
from skin complaints. Although in
greatly weakened condition, he
now is recovering his health.
Father Bonin said for a brief
period in 1951 he was released
from prison and permitted to re
sume his missionary work, appar
ently because the Communists
seemed to think this might bring
a confession from him. But when
he remained adament, he was
thrown back into jail, where he
remained until expelled Nov. 6.
