Agenda Talks Of Big Four Hit New Snag
Paris. —(U.P.)— Deadlocked deputies trying for the fourth straight day to arrange an agenda for a big four foreign ministers' meeting faced a new obstacle today.
Already snagged over the question of a German settlement, the representatives of East and West split anew over an Austrian treaty.
Russia refused to put the Austrian treaty on the agenda unless the U.S., Britian and France agreed to give a full airing at the same time to the Soviet charge that the west has violated the Italian peace treaty provisions on Trieste.
Soviet deputy foreign minister Andrei Gromyko charged yesterday that the West has converted the free territory lying between northern Italy and Yugoslavia into an air base in violation of the Italian treaty signed in Paris in February 1947.
There was a possibility, however, that Gromyko was merely jockeying for position as all the deputies have done in the first three days. The chances of an agreement emerging from the so far deadlocked talks will not be seen until this process is completed.
Gromyko has devoted two days now to rehashing of Moscow's arguments against the west. Until yesterday's session, he had confined himself to the charge that the cause of international tension laid in the rearming of west Germany.
One Western delegate, expressing the general suspicion that Russia was not really serious about wanting a meeting of the foreign ministers, said:
"We are still willing to give Gromyko a chance. But if, after a fair chance, we are convinced that Russia is only interested in stirring up a lot of dust and making propaganda speeches here, then we can and will get down into the arena and do likewise."
"It is a strange coincidence that I should now be working in a place where the carillon bells are being cast," wrote Paul Chua, a student at the University from 1945-1949.
Bells Cast Near Alumnus
Mr. Chua is now in England working as an engineer. He wrote recently to Miss Carlotta Nellis, housemother of Battenfeld hall, concerning the campanile carillon bells being made in Loughmore and Batterfield. He worked at Batterfield and also at Phi Kappa fraternity, while attending K.U.
At the time he was writing a letter to Miss Nellis, Chua's plans were to see Donald M. Swarthout, dean emeritus of the school of fine arts, while he was in England testing the carillon. Professor Swarthout said he didn't get to see Mr. Chua while he was in England.
In his letter, Chua said, "It fills me with some pride to even see the bells meant for the alma mater. Not so long ago, I hadn't the faintest notion where the bells were going. So with your clipping, something of interest has been added to my life here in England."
Gaston To Judge Clinics
E. Thayer Gaston, professor in music education, will spend Monday and Tuesday, March 12 and 13, in Utica and Colby where he will judge music clinics.
