FREEZING POST OFFICE
ROBBED SUNDAY NIGHT

Freezing post office was brolS-
en- into Sunday night and money
and stamps to the value of $4,000
taken, including a supply of fed
eral nuisance tax car stamps.
The robbery was not discover
ed until Tuesday morning when
the postmaster, Mrs. Savannah
Mullins. and daughter opened the
office in preparation for the ar
rival Of the morning mail from
Clintwood.
The office is kept in a small
building about 100 yards from
the residence of the post master.
Entrance was made by removing
one of the windows. The only
clue left by the robbers was a
handkerchief dropped in the
building. Lum Mullins, who re-
sides near the road short dis
lance from the office, says that
about midnight Sunday night a
car came up the road and turn
ed just below his place and went
back down the road, and others
say that they heard a car come
to a stop in the road opposite the
post office about that time. This
robbery was evidently commit
ted by persons familiar with the
surroundings.

1000 Jenkins
Coal Miners
On Strike

Some 1000 or more Jenkins,
KY, coal miners came out on
strike about the middle of last
week, and at this time (Tuesday)
no settlement has been made.
Later on all store clerks and 9TH
er like workers came out on
sympathy strike, and as a result
all stores are closed, with trade
going to outside merchants.
The cause Of the trouble, as re-
lated by worker, was that
brakeman by the name of Powell
had been off from work for some
time due to an injured foot. He
was allowed to go back to Work
by the company doctor with in
structions that he be given some
lighter work until his injured
foot was in better shape. But he
was sent back to the same job
by the foreman and when he OBJ.
jected to this was fired.
When this became known by
other workers in the mines they
dropped their tools and came
outside. Store clerks and all 9TH
er outside men joined in the
strike, with the result that the
entire opration is paralyzed and
no coal is being produced.
The miners ask the reinstate-
ment of Powell and that the fore
man be fired. No settlement is in
sight, they say,
No disorders of any kind have
been reported.

The Japanese, driven to desper-

From March IS to April 10, the

Many military men believe
these losses struck a Gripping

GUAM. Monday, May 14-W,D--
American forces on Okinawa have
hurled back a Japanese landing
attempt behind Marines battling
through the northern outskirts Of
Naha within less than $500 yards
of the heart of that island capital it
was announced today.
Dispatches said that the fall q
Naha, largest Japanese city YET

imminent, although Adm. Chester
w. Nimitz' daily war bulletin said
there were no appreciate changes
on that sector OF the front yester-
day.
To the east, the Americans made
gains of 800 to 900 yards as they
drove a wedge between the Japa-
nese strongholds OF Shuri and Yona-
baru in their mounting, four day
cid offensive.
The Japanese attempt to land
on Okinawa was made in the area
of Machinato airfield, five miles
northwest of Naha. 1t was blasted
by concentrated fire Of American
shore batteries and Naval units

cupy Major Portions
OF The City

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia. May
13.-{P)- Western Allied soldiers
will remain in disputed Trieste
to operate the Adriatic port ana
Yugoslav soldiers will remain in
occupation of major portions Of
the city, it was learned today.
That apparently was the main
point of the agreement between
Marshal Tito and an emissary
from the headquarters of Field
Marshal Sir Harold Alexander, Al
lied Mediterranean commander.
The discussions arose when the
Yugoslav government demanded
withdrawal of the British-Ameri-
can forces occupying the port and
part of the city. The Allied Medi-
terranean command insisted on
the necessity of remaining in pos
session and operating the port to
supply occupation forces in Aus
tria.
The opposition to the current
Yugoslav occupation is mainly for
NAL. The important question with
strong bearing on present Yugo-
slav activity is to what extent
claims for Italian territories will
be granted at the future peace
tables.
Army Chief of Staff 1t. Gen. Arsa
Jovanovic said in an interview with
the official Yugoslav news agency
Tanyug that the region is under
military occupation by the Yugo-
slav army while its future will be
solved by the Allies at the peace
conference"
On the British-American side
the talks have been purely on the
basis of military necessity. In ad-
dition to Trieste's importance for
the occupation forces it is likely
to be vital for the delivery of
UNRRA commitments to Czecho-
slovaka and parts of Poland.
Tito agreed to the full use Of
Trieste for Allied supplies.
Although American correspond
ents in Yugoslavia have been re-
fused permission by the Yugoslav
government to visit Trieste, it is
no secret that the political occu.
patton Of the whole Istria area is
going forward rapidly. This is
simple for the Partisan forces
since they had well integrated un-
derground and skeleton administra-
tive setups long in advance.
In addition to her claims to Ital-
ian territory, Yugoslavia maintains
her frontiers also should be ex-
banded to include parts Of former
Austria. Tito's forces already have
invaded this area but details OF
their activities are not available.

goslav partisans were taking over
