Trieste Question Settled
After nine years of dispute, Italy and Yugoslavia signed an Anglo
American sponsored agreement dividing Trieste between the two
countries. '
The agreement will close a gap in Western defense and will
permit the withdrawal of 4000 American and 3000 British troops from
the strip of Adriatic coast after a nine-year occupation. The United
States and Britain guarantee the accord and promised they will not
be involved in any further alterations of the settlement.
The port of Trieste will be free, serving Italy and Yugoslavia
as well as Austria and other countries.

The Soviet bloc nd the West were called upon by Yugoslav

Columnist Fleeson got her first
taste of politics early in Sterling,
Kansas, where her father had a
clothing store and, according to a
statement of Miss Fleeson's in
Time magazine, "ran the town
from the back room."
After graduation from the Uni
versity of Kansas, where she re
ceived her A. B. degree, Column
ist Fleeson went East and got a
job on a small Long Island news
paper. In 1927, she graduated to
the New York Daily News.
"There," she is quoted as say
ing, "we learned "to hit 'em in the
eye. We belonged to the who-the-hell
- reads the - second - para
graph school."
She served as war correspondent
for the Women's Home Compan
ion, then embarked on Washington
political waters with her interpre
tive column. Political observers
say Columnist Fleeson's reputation
depends a great deal on backstairs
reporting of political plots and
counterplots.
Scoop On Ike
Several years ago in an eight
page column banner splashed
across the front- page of the
Washington Star were the words
GENERAL EISENHOWER SUB
MITS RESIGNATION. Underneath
Miss Fleeson's byline was the re
port that Ike's resignation was on
the White House desk. In journal
istic circles the story was a clean
scoop. She also was one of the
first columnists to suggest that
then Vice-President Barkley was
getting a little too old to run for
President.
Winner of the Raymond Clapper
award for meritorious work during
1953, the Headliner Award and
twice awarded the New York
Newspaper Woman's Club prize
for distinguished reporting, Miss
Fleeson is quoted by Time maga
zine as saying, "I hit people hard
sometimes, but they seem to
like it because they know I do
that to everyone."
Following the convocation, Theta
Sigma Phi, women's journalism
honorary, will honor Miss Fleeson
at a reception for journalism ma
jors. It will be held between 5
and 6 p.m. at the Union Parlors,
by invitation only.

gripe about long lines or the food
in the dorm, they have no dorm."
'Lose Reality'

lines," he said, "and find out what
it is that makes people lose track
of reality, that makes them lose
sight of God's world. These lines
represent the lines of people with
mental illness," he said.
"There are lines of students,"
Knowles said, "who have no place
to sleep, and nothing to eat, but
they want to learn. There is

beneficial to society and they are
participating in the "onward
search for truth." There is a
significent "oneness" in University

fort, he said.
