REDS CALL FOR KOREA TALKS IN TRUCE CITY Rich British Duke Vanishes TAVISTOCK, England, im The Duke of Bedford, one of Britain's wealthiest men, was reported missing today.

Police and soldiers con ducted a widespread search of the wild moorland around his home here. The 64 year old duke, frequent center of political controversy, did not show up for breakfast yesterday and police were informed. A search of the estate yielded no trace and police started dragging the Tamar river today. The duke owns 12,000 acres here and has several other big country estates. But most of his fortune once estimated at five million pounds (14 million dollars) reputedly comes from real estate in central London.

During World War II the duke frequently expressed pacifist views. In the early forties he said it was "neither sensible nor right" to quarrel with Hitler. Modified Fill And Cover Plan Wins Approval Will Purchase Bulldozer; Sah Mateo Shows Way to Peninsula The city of San Mateo unofficially last night became the first Peninsula city to order all dump burning to be halted and a new method of composting io be used. Formal action is expected to be taken at the next regular council session after the informal study session held last night at the office of City Manager Arthur Sullivan. The.

move was hailed by city officials and representatives of the Shoreview Community association as "one of the most forward steps ever taken by San Mateo," Need Bulldozer The new composting method can be started as soon as formal approval is granted and a bulldozer is purchased by the city, said Sullivan. The cost of the new method will be approximately $1000 a month if the new experiment goes well. Sullivan estimated that this would increase the city tax rate by about one cent per $100 assessed vaiua "It is well worth the extra cent to eliminate the smoke and pollution from San Mateo," said Councilman Edward Reilly. "San Mateo has now set an example for the rest of the Peninsula to follow." City Now Paid In, breaking down the costs of the modified composting procedure Sullivan stated that the dump operator, Romeo Joly, would be paid $500 a month salary for himself and an assistant. Currently Joly pays the city $60 a month for the privilege of salvaging at the dump.

The new composting method, which consists of mashing the refuse with a bulldozer, covering it with dirt and sludge, would deprive Joly of much salvage material. To this cost of $500 a month, would be added $500' a month for the purchase and delivery of dirt fill (about five truck loads a day.) Sullivan estimated that 30 yards of dirt would be needed each day to cover the composting material. May Charge Fee This basic cost would be increased Blightly by the purchase of a bulldozer for $12,000 which would be used by the city on other projects, however. In discussing methods of financing the project, councilmen queried Sullivan about the possibility of charging a flat fee to all users of the city dump. "I think that the dump users would be willing to pay a small fee to use the facilities," said councilman Reilly.

Tito's troops rolled in as 40,000 Communist led workers in the Anglo American zone the territory staged a 24 hour protest strike against the pastition plan. The demonstrators, predominantly Italian, demanded that all Trieste territory be handed to Italy. It was feared riots might develop from the demonstrations.

No Other Proposal Tito put forward his ultimatus and his personal plan for solution of the dispute in a speech at Les kovac, Southern Serbia. After calling for Yugoslav control over all but the city of Trieste itself, Tito said: "I have no other and do not wish to find any other proposal." He warned that if the Western Ailie do not accept his plan, "there wiit be no peace in this part of Europe." (Reports from Tricsto said 30, 000 Yugoslav reinforcements had arrived in the Yugoslav zone from Lubljana, Fiume and Gorizia, dti the ltalo Yugoslav frontier.) Conference Called In Borne, Italy's premier Giuseppe Pella summoned the American and British ambassadors to confer with him today on the worsening Trieste crisis. American ambassador Clare Boothe Luce and British ambassador Sir Victor Mallet were scheduled to meet with Pclla at 6 p.m. Tito ordered three armored di visions into Trieste to reinforce the 3000 man garrison already there. Under the terms of the previous arrangement, Yugoslavia is entitled to maintain 5000 troops in its zone.

The opposing Yugoslav and western forces were only a few miles apart. Autonomous Area Tito's new plan for partition of the territory which has been a bone of contention with Italy since the end of World War II, would make the city of Trieste itself an autonomous area, under Italian control. The rest of the 285 square mile territory, Tito would make an autonomous area under Yugoslav control. Tito warned that Yugoslavia will accept as "an act of aggression" any move by Italian troops to move into the area of Trieste the United States and Britain proposed to hand over to Italy.

BUHL1NOAMI Opposition to 2 Block Parking Plan Appears Merchant Says too Costly; Favors Larger Area To Pay Costs First formal opposition to a downtown assessment district to pay for the acquisition of a two block strip of off street parking, extending from what is now the Elks building on street to Ellsworth street, and then from Ellsworth street to San Mateo drive, was expressed last night by several downtown property owners at a study session of the city council. The area, which was marked off two weeks ago by the off street parking committee, will be able to accommodate 250 cars. The cost of the project was estimated by one of the opponents, Sam J. Curisis, 305 E.

Fourth avenue, as "at least $1,000,000." All persons objecting, however, stressed that they wanted off street parking but were simply opposed to the method of paying for it. Spread Costa Curusis offered his own off street parking plan for the downtown area to include fringe parking at the Baldwin avenue campus. "We must provide parking for merchants on Second avenue as well as for merchants on Third and Fourth avenues," said Curusis. "We should spread this assessment over the complete downtown area and acquire more parking spaces. My plan will provide 4000 parking spaces and will blanket the entire area." Mayor F.

Herschel thanked Curusis for his plan but Indicated that the council would not reach a decision on any off street parking plan for at least six weeks.

The request was heard here over monitored radio Peiping broadcasts. In separate notes, China Premier Chou En Lai and North Korean Foreign Minister Nam II asked that the time, place and membership of the conference be discussed in the war flatted farm village where the armistice was signed. Peiping said the notes have been forwarded to the United States through the Swedish government.

PANMUNJOM IP American marines manned artillery pieces and tanks near the south entrance to the war prisoners' stockades Inspector Johil Kane, who direct dragnet operation with Lieut. Donald Scott of the general works detail of the San Francisco police department, said most of yesterday afternoon was spent in planning one of the most elaborate operations in police history after Keville reported receiving the note. Elaborate Plans Police officers and police women were sent to the cold recesses of the beach to appear as petting par ties.

Undercover cars without police markings were sent cruising back and forth on the Great highway and Lincoln way. Teams of inspectors were placed at each end of the beach to halt any escapes. 1 All persons on the beach were equipped with walkie talkies so they would be in constant contact with both moving prowl cars and police radio headquarters in central San Francisco. At the appointed time, Keville dropped a dummy package containing only old newspapers over the retaining wall and walked away. Endured Rain Throughout the night and morning, until dawn, all officers remained at their posts despite drizzling rain, cold winds and heavy fog.

As dawn finally appeared over the beach, Kane said the dragnet was finally lifted. Although Keville found the note, typewritten on a torn piece of letter paper, slipped under his office door when he arrived for work yesterday morning, he did not report it to police until noon, thinking it was a joke. Employes finally persuaded him to call officers. Kane said the note was addressed to Keville's former business partner who died two years ago.
