It was the second time the three western powers dropped the em barrassing Trieste question in Moscow’s lap, and their maneuver was aimed at making Russia show her hand before the Italian election April 18. The Soviet union so far has ig nored the proposal made first by the three powers on March 20. A Russian commitment favoring the return of Trieste to Italian sov ereignty would be a blow at Mar shal Tito’s Communist Yugoslav government wdiich claims the ter ritory. A contrary recommendation would have widespread anti-Com munist repercussions in Italy # on the eve of the election. The new proposal was made in similar but not identical notes de livered to the Soviet embassies in Washington, London and Paris. The American note reminded Mos cow of the March 20 memorandum and suggested politely that repre sentatives of the four powers meet in Paris early next month to recon sider the Trieste section of the Italian peace treaty. “The U. S. government feels that in the interest of terminating the present unsettled situation in the free territory of Trieste and restor ing peace and stability in the area, early action by the interested pow ers is required,” the note said. The note went on to point out that Italy already has replied "fa vorably” to the three-power pro posal. Under the Italian peace treaty, the United States, Britain and Yu goslavia each has the right to keep 5,000 troops in Trieste until a gov ernor appointed by the United Na tions decides they no longer are needed. The governor has not yet been appointed. Civil War Demanded By Colombian Uprisers BOGOTA, Colombia, April 9—■ (UP)—A mob clamoring for civil war broke into the national capitol where the ninth Pan American conference was meeting today. It had just lynched an unidentified assassin who shot and critically wounded Jorge Eliecer Gaitan, leader of the opposition liberal party. Gaitan, idol of the working class es, was shot three times as he emerged from his office to go to lunch. The news spread like wild fire. Soon crowds of his followers were at the scene, some wept open ly. Others dipped handkerchiefs in a pool of his blood on the sidewalk. As the assassin was being taken Ending of Strike Close at Hand PORTLAND, ORE., April 9.— (UP)—Settlement of the Oregon Motor Stages strike appeared im minent tonight with announce ment that a proposed contract would be submitted to the union membership for ratification Sat ur4ay.

Both expressed hope that the new contract, terms of which were not disclosed, would be ratified, a meeting of employes is scheduled for 11 a.m. at the Portland Labor temple. Schneider said that if the union membership approves the contract, the company will resume schedules at 2 p.m. Saturday, and service will be back to normal by Monday.

The union did not disclose details of its demands. - ---—-——— -- t Committee Requests Congress To Retard Communist Activity WASHINGTON,. April 9—(UP) — The house unAmerican activities committee today urged congress to pass drastic legislation to curb activities of the communist party. The committee asked that legis lation to curb the party provide for criminal prosecution ‘of officers of the Communist party should they violate it. The proposal was included in a sweeping legislative program out lined by the committee to curb what it called the “American bridgehead of the Red Army.” The committee also took a slap at the justice department, accusing it of “coddling” American communists. “The Communist party of the United States, without question, constitutes a clear and present danger to our national security,” the committee said in a report. No specific legislation was sub mitted. The committee said such a bill would be recommended next week. Rep. Richard M. Nixon, R., Cal., who headed the subcommittee which drafted the program, said the proposed program would hit hardest at the Communists through an amendment to the so called Smith act. The amendment would make il legal the “knowing and wilful ad V ) I \ < ! vocacy of the overthrow of the government of the United States by any means for the purpose of subverting the interests of the United States to that of a foreign communist power.” Record Concert Set By Alumnae Group Mu Phi Epsilon alumnae will pre sent the second of their spring rec ord concerts at 4 p.m. Sunday in the browsing room of the library.

His battered body was dragged for seven blocks and left, naked, be fore the door of the presidential palace. Soon thousands of demonstrators were surging around the capitol, on the city’s main square. Other thou sands were at the palace, in the next block. Before the police could bar the doors, some 50 men raced through the corridors of the capitol shout ing, “Down with Laurano Gomez” and demanding civil war. Gomez is head of the Colombian delegation to the conference and a leader of the conservative party. Conference attendants finally locked the doors and kept out others of the mob. At 8:20 p.m. E.S.T., seven, hours after the revolt started, President Mariano Ospina Perez is sued a communique over a govern ment radio station stating that loyal army forces were dominating the situation. But official dispatches at about the same time from the U. S. em bassy to the state department here reported “this mob remains in con trol.” Reports from American news correspondents barricaded in hotels in the center of the city said rag ing mobs of rebels were burning', killing and looting, and that their left wing leaders were in the presi dential palace demanding Ospina Perez’ resignation. Diplomatic sources here said the revolution had very definite com munistic and anti-United States implication. They said it still was uncertain whether communists had started the revolt or were merely exploiting it for their own ends, but that they were playing an im portant role. The American press reports said downtown Bogotan, where most of the government buildings are lo cated, was a mass of burning ruins that “looked like London during' one of the big wartime fire blitzes.” Damage was placed high in the millions. They said at least nine govern ment buildings were burned and that the capitol, where the ninth. Pan-American conference is being’ held, had been sacked. The entire U.S. delegation to the conference, including Secre tary of State George C. Marshall and Secretary of Commerce W. Averell Harriman, were officially reported safe at a late hour to night.
