By The Associated Press
Mobs of Yugoslavs hurled rocks at windows of United States,
British and Italian embassies last night in angry protest against the
decision to turn over the city of Trieste to Italian administration.
The joint American-British announcement that withdrawal of
Allied occupation troops from Trieste was made in the hope that
it will spur Italy and Yugoslavia to settle their dispute over the
Adriatic territory.

INSOFAR AS the civil status of
the city itself is concerned, the
Anglo-American decision merely
serves to formalize what has been
a de facto situation since 1948.
Trieste has been governed, and its
economy oriented, almost as
though it were a part of Italy.
It's police force, organized like a
light army, is manned almost en-
tirely by Italians.
Despite a considerable Slovene
population, there has never been
any question about the Italian
nature of Trieste. There is a dif-
ficult-to-solve ethnic question in
Zone B, occupied by Yugoslavia.
Some of the small cities there
are likewise predominantly Ital-

He said he could see propa-

the sudden intensification of
settlement efforts on the part of
the United States, but could see
no military one, since '"Tito's
falling-out with the Russians"
had made the problem nothing
more than a "family quarrel on
our own' side of the fence."
The political scientist felt that
in this situation "what the United
States really wants is for Italy and
Yugoslavia to settle the problem
for themselves and quit bother-
ing us."
Prof. Knappen Balled the latest

Prof. Knappen felt, had the effect
of forcing our hand.
PROF. FRED WARNER Neal of
the political science department
questioned the probability that
the move was a "step toward
permanent solution of the Trieste
problem."
He noted that it "in a sense
gets us out of the struggle, be-
cause at least formally we are
no longer connbcted with it,"
but was quick to insist that we
are still actually closely asso-
ciated with the whole problem.
The professor said, however
that now the two countries, Italy
and Yugoslavia, will be able to
come together on equal footing.
He also maintained that "the
United States was burned' when
she played Italian politics with
Trieste in 1948," and hoped that
-she "wouldn't get burned again."
"If the United States is inter-
ested in winning friends and in-
fluencing people for a defense
against the Soviet Union," he said,
"I should think she would rather
have the friendship of Yugoslavia
than of Italy."
