TRIESTE CRISIS: GOVERNOR NOT YET APPOINTED

NEW YORK, Sept. 24

The Security Council, faced by a rapidly-growing Jugoslav-American crisis in Trieste, failed again today to agree on the appointment of a governor for Trieste. The council examined the report of the sub-committee appointed to collect additional information about the candidates and after some discussion decided to ask the permanent members of the council to hold an informal consultation soon.

The atmosphere of the meeting is said to have been much more cordial. The United States today joined Russia against Britain in a successful Soviet move to postpone until next week the debate on the report of the United Nations Trusteeship Council.

The United States move is interpreted as a conciliatory gesture after the appeal, for Big Power co-opera-tion by the Secretary-General of the United Nations (Mr Trygve Lie).

The United Press says that the United States has completed the, draft of a four-point resolution on the Balkans for submission to the United Nations General Assembly.. The resolution blames Jugoslavia, Albania, and Bulgaria for attacks on Greece, calls for the creation of a semi-permanent border commission appointed by the Assembly, requests all four countries to agree on the voluntary repatriation of refugees, and suggests that Greece, on the one hand, and Jugoslavia, Bulgaria, and Albania on the other, study ways by which minorities could be transferred voluntarily. It is also learned, says the United Press, that the selection of a European successor to Poland on the Security Council is smouldering into an East-West battle.
