NEWS Allies May Hove Backing In Trieste By J. M.

ROBERTS JR. Press News Analyit '-Developments in the Trieste, dispute make it appear viiy' likely that, Britain and States will have to bftektrnck somewhat, at least ittjthe matter of timing, on tfieir decision to turn back to ItAly the territory they now occupy. It was a dangerous thing in the to contemplate bringing Italian and Yugoslav troops face to in- such an explosive area. Tito's threat to march into Zone A at any time the Italians do is a flat thieat of-war. For the rest of it.

Tito's attitude is to avoid being pusht-c -demands that the powers most directly involved get togethei to. see if some compromise cannot bei found. The Allies had no specific time limit for the turnover to but tentative six weeks mentioned That was it was realized how promptly and how bitterly Yugoslavia would react. Since then the won! from the military in Tn- ette is that it will probably take somewhat longer. THat's a good way of saying that the whole thing will have to be reappraised, although first reaction from "Washington was that the de- ciion would not be changed.

There Is an inclination Allied circles to discount Tito's war threat. For one thing, Tito and Italy are -both heavily dependent on Western for their military strength. The Allies would be able to bring great pressure on eithei one if it came vo For another thing, by getting himself involved in Trieste, Tito woulc be inviting attack from nis Russian satellite neighbors who are constantly making gestures against Yugo- Unemployment Insurance Categories Are Outlined slavia In addition, at the very first sign of Yugoslav belligerence, Italy would invoke the North Atlantic Treaty, which requires all signers, including Turkey and Greece on Tito's eastern flank, to consider an act of aggression against one of them as directed against all. This would produce a highly technical question, since under the Italian peace treaty Italian troops Workers who voluntarily leave employment for such reasons as joining a husband or wife, tatang care of someone ill the family, or caring for small children will no longer be considered to have -tood cause 0 tor qmtting and will be denied unemployment insurance benefits under a recent amendment to the Pennsylvania Unemployment Compensation I-aw. David M.

Walker. Secretary of Labor and Industry, called attention to the 1953 amendment which provides that "marital, filial and domestic circumstances and obligations shall not be deemed good cause within the meaning of this Act" in determining whether a have no more business in Zone A than have Tito's. The fact that Italy would be acting in concert with the western powers, however, would face Yugoslavia with a grave threat. With Russia already taking a hand in ihe present oproar. however, the still graver threat one of a rental war if any outbreak occurs anywhere in Europe as things stand to- Hav.

The Allies simply cannot afford to let the situation develop in thr.t direction The Allies announced their plan for Trieste in a move to get Italy to go ahead vYilh ratification of the European Defense Community. There was a cer tain cynicism about it, just as there was about the 1948 announcement that trte whole territory wauld eventually go back to Italy, and about the subsequent default on that promise in i the light of changed conditions. When its impact on Yugoslavia was recognized, the Allies began considering a conference to include France which has been helping to support Yugoslavia against the com- inforiTi. There seems little doubt that this, or some other delaying action, will now have to be adopted In 1952 Georgia Tech football teom did iial have a -touchdown pass scored against it the entire season. All scores were tallied on Read the Bedford Gwettt worker had "good cause" for voluntarily leaving work Employees who voluntarily quit a job are denied unemployment insurance benefits unless they show "good cause." The change, however, permits determination of eligibility wher "good cause" arises from a persona condition of the claimant.

Secre tery Walker added. An esdmpl would be a worker who left his jo because of his own illness. He woulc be eligible for benefits after his ecovery if he were available for ifork and able to work. Secretary falker explained. Secretary Walker also pointed which claim- nts' quaUfying'for benefits while jregnant.

Under the amendment a laimant is conclusively presumed a be unavailable fcr work (and. heiefore. ineligible for benefits) 'with respecf to any week of unemployment attributable to pregnancy and in any event after the sixth month of pregnancy and until after one month of confine- ment''. A claimant who voluntarily leaves employment at any time because of the pregnancy becomes ineligible for benefits, the same as the piegnant worker who is laid off by her employer due to physical inability to perform her job. Secretary Walker explained.

Use The Want-Ads Murphy Stores Awarded An'Oscar'for Industry New York--In the final ratings of the independent board of judges in the thirteenth survey of 5.000 annual reports, conducted by "Financial, G.

In this industrial classification S. Kresge Company was runnel-up for top honors, while United Stores Corporation placed third. Did Adloi Iring Churchill Special to' Centra "inaidera believe that the secret meatage delivered to President Eisenhower by Adlai Stevenson WM an urgent plea from British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill for visit with Churchill short.y before the 1852 Democratic presidential nominee return to the United States, he pointedly declined to discuss with newsmen the nature of his conversations with the British leader. It is well known on both sides of the Atlantic that Churchill is eager to crown his half century of public service with the achievement of a formula for lasting peace. Both British and American diplomats believe he is exerting all possible pressure to convince Ike that the formula can be worked out by heads of state meeting face-to-face.

NO MEETING-- But the best opinion, is that there will be no top level meetings between East and West leaders this year. Despite "Churchill's anxiety to try to bring such a meeting, United States diplomats are opposed to md wary of anything that might throw a monkey wrench into the Korean peace conference. State department officials are most anxious to avoid giving the Reds a sounding board that could drown out delib- trations on a Korean peace and provide the Communists with a imokescreen for skulduggery. Even in the unlikely event that the Korean peace is negotiated ipeedily the United States still will refrain from entering into any over-all talks to ease world tensions until the Reds provide further evidence of goqd faith by collaborating on an Austrian peace treaty and German unification. NO CHANGE-- Despite all the rumors and rumblings, Mrs.

Clare Boothe Luce will keep on being United States ambassador to Italy. rumors are said to have originated right within Mrs. Luce's embassy in Rome. They were based on complaints by some of her underlings that she isn't working hard enough at the drudgery aspects of being an ambassador. They charged she wasn't paying attention tocher administrative chores, that she was emphasising the social aspects of her job and the morale in the embassy was tow as a result.

What first got Mrs. Luce into hot water were her remarks in favor of Alc.ide de Gasperi before the Italian elections. That raised a storm ofc protest both in Italy and iit the United States. However, Mrs. Luce will stay.

Here's why. First of all, her electioneering was later eclipsed by those famous pro-Adenauer remarks of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. Therefore, the argument goes, why blame Mrs. Luce for doing something her boss did lajer-- and so successfully? AM for the other complaints against her, Americans returning from Italy have nothing but praise fof the job Mrs. Luce is doing in thoso matters that count.

SALVAGE OPERATION-- GOP legislators from the. farm are almost certain to drive for more and bigger benefits for agricul- after Congress reconvenes in January. Reason is that the key farm vote must be kept- in line if the GOP is to retain Its paper-thin majorities in the House and Senate come the November elections. A Many farmers are reported to be hopping mad at the Eisenhower administration. Their reasons are Administration various but the chief gripe is that agriculture is caught in a price-cost squeeze.

Prices of the crops farmers sell continue to slide downward while the things they must buy go up and up. In this instance, the administration to in large measure guiltless. However, it will be hard to convince voters of that. Again, there have een loud and numerous squawks about operation of the farm drought elief program. As.

far as farmers are concerned, the GOP is literally mg on eggs.
