vASHTNCSTON June 2O-The British Foreign office is auakng i'm it's boots for fear secret report on General Mikhailovitch written by British lnteh- gence in 1924 will be brought to light during the trial of the Chetnik leader. The report shows that the British knew all along that Mikhailovttch was col- laborating with the enemy.
 To-day Cseptember, 104D" states the British Intellieence report, they he Chetniks) are to be found almost everywhere fighting alongside German and satellite troops, but they still profess to be pro- Allied at heart"
 British Intelligence went on to explain that they believed Mikhaiovitch to be sincerely anti German, but that he considered Titos partsans more danger ous to the Yugoslav monarchy than the Axis.
 "Once he had made this decision" British In- telgence states "Mikhalovitch was irrevocaby com
 itted to the path of collaboration Nowhere were his forces strong enough to remain hostile to the Germans and the qusing regimes and yet defeat the partisans
 Though believing himself a patriot, he CNdi- khailoyitch) was regarded by most of his country men as traitor. All this was the inevitable result of his decision to regard the partsans rather than the Germans as the main enemy
 "'The present alignment of Chetnik forces on the side of the Germans today is neither accidental nor remediable It is inherent in the very nature of the Chetnik standpoint. To hope to reform or 'galvan- ize the Chetnik organization into anti-AxiS activity is to misunderstood its very essence The ChenkS are not much the adherents of clear-cut political programme the product of a psychological state of mnd-the illustration confusion and reSentment resulting from the sudden collapse of the state.
 "To look for any prominent leaders or elements within Mikhailovitchs Chetnik organization as un- compromised by collaboration with consistent record of anti Axis action behind them is illusion. None such exists The Chetnik rank and file may have been mised and still be potentially capable of action within the partisan forces, but their leaders have contributed nothing to the record of Yugoslavias heroic three years resistance, they be ex- pected to contribute anything to her approaching surgence," British Intelligence concluded.
 Two little attention is paid i'm this pOliticS-Fidden capital to the quiet unassumng officials who Sstently do a bang-up job.
 One of them is Assistant Postmaster General Gael Sullivan. Coming from Chicago and trained under Mayor Ed Kelly. Sullivan at first looked like pure political appointee In six months, however, he has become one of the most effective members of the Little Cabinet.
 On July Ist, Sullivan will one of his dreams come true-when regularly scheduled heicopter mail deliveries will begin in the Los Angeles area. Sul- van is also experimenting with jet planes and rockets for Swfter mail service hopes to have 12-hour mail service between any two communities in the US.A. He is also working plan for shipping all first class mail by air at any time Congress gives him the green light Threecent air mai he believes, is not only possible, but practical.
 Sullivan iS bureaucrat who is really under paid. Any morning you can find him at his desk by 7:3O A. M. and he never leaves before P. M. When you add up the hours Sullivan puts in his job
