MikhoiIovich's Men Still Hold
Rough YugosIov Countryside

The discomfort Is said to be
spreading to the army and police
forces. The members of these two
organizations are fairly we'll fed, but
their families, are starving.
Recently the authorities discov-
cred traitors" in the ranks of the
OZNA, Yugoslav secret police.
These men were shot Immediately
and their families deported to Rus
sia. There are some desertions from
the army, and those who skip take
their equipment with them. They
join the anti-Tito guerrillas in the
mountains, where life is hard but
free. Occasional raids on govern
ment stores enable them to keep
going.
According to recent reports from
Yugoslavia, Marshal Tito is grow
ing increasingly uneasy and be-
lieves a spectacular coup would
bolster his waning prestige.
The Italian general staff does not
believe that Marshal Tito will risk
any aggression against Trieste. He
may try his luck on the plains of
Italy north Of the Pc River, where
his associate from old Comintern
days, Palmiro Togliatti, is gaining
strength and will need some outside
assistance to establish himself after
the Italian elections next summer.
Official political quarters and for
eign diplomats in Rome are inclined
to gloss over the fears of Italian
military men. But some high-rank-
ing American military observers in
Italy share the fears and specula-
tions Of the italian general staff.

Palestine Terrorists
Threaten Executions
By tho Assoeioted Press

JERUSALEM, April 24.-British
troops patrolling Palestine today
faced threat of systematic cap
ture, trial" and execution from
Irgun zvai Leumi, Jewish under
ground organization.
An Irgun secret-radio broadcast
yesterday threatened revenge for the
deaths of Meyer Feinstein and
Moshe Barazani, underground fight
ers. The two. awaiting hanging in
Jerusalem prison, killed themselves
with explosives Monday night.
The broadcast said each Irgun
unit would have a field court" to
try seized British soldiers on such
charges as membership in an unlaw-
full criminal organization, illegal en-
try into Palestine and participation
in murderous activities. 1t declared
that no appeal would be granted,
and that condemned men would be
hanged or shot.
Irgun Zvai Leumi said Feinstein
and Barazani had been given ex-
plosives in their death cell to blow
themselves and prison officials up
on the scaffold," but carried out
their suicide beforehand for fear of
endangering their spiritual coun-
selor, Rabbi Jacob Goldman, former
ly of Rochester, N. Y.
Last night was quiet here except
for a one-hour electric blackout of
a portion of Jerusalem. That trouble
was traced to British army truck
that ran into a light pole.

Southern Korea Split
On Mo|ofoy Proposal
BY the A..eeioisd Press

SEOUL, April 24.-American-oc-
cupied Southern Korea was sharply
divided today on what to expect from
proposed resumption of American
Soviet negotiations towrad Korean
independence.
Rightist Korean newspapers and
political leaders expressed doubt
that it would solve the problems of
the jointly-ruled former chattel of
Japan.
Leftists, however, hailed Soviet
Foreign Minister Molotov's proposal
to resume sessions of the American
Russian commission in Seoul May 20
as the only path to unification.
The conservative Capital Daily
News said it was not optimistic be-
cause Mr.. Molotov, in his letter to
Secretary of State Marshall, blamed
the American side" for the dead
lock in the commission. 1t added
that old differences might arise over
the definition Of democracy" which
Gen. Marshall termed the chief
stumbling block in the first attempt
to agree on Korean independence.
The liberal Voice Of the People
said resumption of negotiations
would end the schemes Of some
reactionary groups to establish a
government of South
Korea. Unified democratic govern
ment can only be established by
implementation of the December,
1945)' Moscow decision calling for
joint American-Soviet efforts to re-
store Korean independence)."

ROME (By MaiD In some Sec
tions of Yugoslavia, such as old
Serbia and Bosnia, travel has be-
come a highly unsafe proposition.
Gen. Draja Mikhailovich was exc
cuted and his movement has been
officially declared suppressed. But
remnants of his followers are Or
ganized in guerrilla bands, armed
with rifles and some machine guns.
These followers Of the dead Mix
hailovich are sheltered by the peas
antry and it is difacult for Marshal
Tito's police to determine which
villagers-man and women-belong
to Gen. Mikhailovich's old organi-
zation. In some sections of the
country travel by government Of
ficials is impossible unless they are
accompanied by strong military
police forces.
1t Is this general condition of un-
rest in Yugoslavia which compelled
Marshal Tito last month to demand
food from the United States. and q
little later from Britain. He at
tempted to make political capital Of
the refusals of Washington and
London by telling the Yugoslay
people that the western imperial
lists" are trying to starve out the
helpless and hungry Yugoslavs. Ac-
cording to reliable reports, Marshal
Tito's success in this direction was
limited. People asked openly why
Mother Russia" did not come tc
