Bidault Elected Head of France Communists Yield, I May Enter Cabinet PARIS, June 19 UP) Foreign Minister Georges Bidault, leader of the conservative Popular Republican Movement (M.R.P.), was elected provisional president of France today by the constituent assembly, with the Communist parly abstaining.

Bidault, wartime resistance hero, whose M.R.P. party ousted the Communists as the strongest single French parly in the June 2 elections, was selected at a time when he was helping the four-power foreign ministers conference here wrestle with peace treaty problems.

Trieste Problem Failure to Solve It Means Division of Europe 'Many Years' PARIS, June 19 (AP) The foreign ministers conference agreed today on one minor economic clause for the Italian peace treaty, as diplomatic sources predicted that unless the key problem of Trieste was solved, the "de facto" division of Europe which has existed since the war's end would last "many years." A British informant said the ministers agreed quickly on a clause protecting the rights of Italian nationals and property in areas to be ceded to other nations, chiefly France and Yugoslavia.

It has been agreed in principle that both these nations will obtain frontier rectifications. This was one of four minor eco nomic clauses discussed. The balance of the session found the min isters in disagreement on clauses concerning restitution or allied properly in Italy, expropriations, and compensation to allied nationals in Italy for personal in juries. SESSION CUT SHORT U. S.

Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov and British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bovin cut short today's session to permit French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault to attend the meeting of the constituent assembly which elected him provisional president of France. Tomorrow the ministers are ex pected to resume the discussion of the explosive political phases of the treaty.

The difficult question of Italian reparations, upon which the ministers were deadlocked yesterday, was not discussed today. LEGAL TECHNICALITIES The crucial issue of Trieste is scheduled to come up again soon, and an American delegation member said this was the "key" question in the writing of treaties for all former German satellites, topped in importance only by the German problem itself. The ministers generally agreed on obliging Italy to restore property taken from allied nationals, but ran afoul of legal technicalities, British informants said.

China Endorse Baruch Proposal NEW YORK, June 19 (UP)" Russia today formally proposed that the United States destroy its atomic bomb stockpiles and cease further production within 90 days after international ratification of a treaty which would outlaw atomic warfare. Andrei Gromyko, Soviet delegate, placed his proposal before the united nations atomic energy commission after Canada, Great Britain and China had endorsed the Baruch plan for strictly-enforced international control of atomic energy. Russia's plan called for swift and forceful sanctions against violators.

It differed from the United States proposal in that it would outlaw atomic activities without first setting up the international atomic monopoly envisaged in the recent report of Bernard M. Baruch. TREATY SUBMITTED Gromyko, who made no reference to the Baruch plan, which had been under discussion earlier in 1he afternoon, submitted a draft agreement for an iron-clad treaty which would banish atomic weapons from the world. The agreement called for nations: 1. Not to use atomic bombs under any circumstances.

2. To forbid the production or storage of atomic weapons. 3. To destroy within three months after ratification of the agreement all exisiting atomic bomb stocks. Gromyko proposed that violations of these provisions should be considered "a serious crime against humanity" and that the united nations should pledge themselves to punish violators severely.

Reprcscnlativa Rytcr, Connecticut Democrat, expressed a similar view. The two, along with Representatives Bolton, Ohio Republican, and Gordon, Illinois Democrat, compose the four-member subcommittee, which drafted the report following a month1! tour of Europe last fall.

The latest reported clash brought to 23 the death toll in four days of undeclared Zionist warfare against the British, and came as British troops combed the Holy Land in search of five offi cers abducted as hostages. A sixth officer, missing since Wednesday night, was also believed to have been kidnapped by the extremists. Two Jews were killed yesterday when settlers and farmers at Kfar-Giladi, in the Galilee area of northern Palestine near the Lebanese and Syrian borders, attacked British troops attempting to search the settlement.

It was just five years ago yesterday that the Pittsburgh pretty boy piled up a wide point margin through 12 rounds and then made the fatal mistake of trying to slug it out with Joe, and wound up the way just about, all of them do with the blasting bomber. JOE STALKS RIVAL For five years, Joe has waited far a chance to know he could have done it anyway. For five years, Billy has waited for another shot sure that he could do it on boxing skill alone over the 15 round route.

The action was slow, as Joe inched forward and Billy circled out of the danger from the cans of ether Joe carries in his glove, Mostly it was just left-handed pecking, with a few jabs and a few hooks and a rare very rare right hand attempt. TWO RIGHTS, LEFT Then midway of the eighth, Joe maneuvered his man into position, lie laced out with a long lashing loft that straightened Billy up on his heels. The handsome challenger from Smokytown was wide open.

In a flash, Louis was in. His right ripped over twice like a pile driver pounding a pole into the mud. Billy started to come down, slowly, like a building falling apart after a shell hits it. Then came a slashing, murder ous left and it was over. The Pittsburgh pretty boy hit the gleaming canvas in the center of this spacious Bronx ball park.

He lay there flat on his back, his arms outstretched, and Referee Kddie Joseph the same man who counlea mm out just live years ago yesterday in the Polo grounds, across the Harlem river counted 1he same full ten. Billy had barely stirred when ho finished. He could have counted another ten. At 2 (Continued on page 19, Column 3) Mihoilovic Denies Ordering Attack On Tito's Troops BKLGRADE, Juno 19 (Pi-Gen.
