PARIS, Sept. 18. (U.R)—A so-
vere rift between the 1'nited
■ States and Russia has arisen at
I the Peace Conference over two
issues. One is Trieste, where the
j Soviet Union wants Yugoslav
i control while the United States
wants united nations security
control.
The other is the <iuestinn of
demilitarizing the Bulgarian
frontier facing Greece. This
country is supporting a Greek
demiltarizatinn proposal, while
Russia opposes it.
Russia and her supporters are
vigorously supporting Bulgarian
claims for part of western
Thrace from Greece. And Greece
in turn wants a frontier revision
in her own favor.
Secretary of State Byrnes is
understood to be opposed to
Greek territorial claims, but is
backing Greek calls for the de-
militarization of the Bulgarian
frontier. The issue still is bottled
up in the big four deputies' com-
mittee. but is due for a public
hearing before the week-end by
the military commission.
As for Trieste, Russia is plug-
ging for Yugoslav control of
the important Adriatic port,
while the United States wants
Uni'ed Nations security council
control.
