Mining Men To !
Ask Reopening
f Of Cold Mines
I
DENVER, Colo., May 23—<JP)—
The conference of western mining
men at Boise, Idaho, Friday and
Saturday is expected to demand
immediate reopening of the na
tion’s gold mines shut down since
United States has been at war.
Robert Paomer, Denver execu
tive dirctor, said the meeting of
Western Economy and Mining Af
# iiliates, Inc., may call Congres
sional investigation of the order
by which properties suspended
operations. The order, he said, os
tensibly was intended to funnel
experienced miners into the pro
duction of copper and other stra
tegic metals, but instead shipyards
and war plants lured many un
derground specialists away from
the mines.
French Troops Still
In Syria i
LONDON, May 23 —{^—Ten
sion remained at high pitch in
Syria as the French government
gave no sign of withdrawing troop'
reinforcements, whose arrival
in the two countries brought from
their government assertions that
the sovereignity had been vio
laled.
Dispatches from Cairo said the
French attitude apparently * re
mained firm and there was scant
prospects of an early settlement.!
The situation already has resulted |
in scattered clashes and bloodshed.
The Arab paper Atdifaa in
Jerusalem said the Arabs were ob-'
i
serving a general strike through
out Palestine “in sympathy with1
the Syrians and Lebanese over
violation of their independence.”
The Pan-Arab League previous
ly denounced the French action.

VANCOUVER, B. C., May 23—
</P)—R.C.A.F. pilots in western
Canada have been instructed to
attempt to bring down for study
some large paper balloons which
Japan has been sending sporadic
ally against the North American
mainland, Army officials dis
closed.
The Canadian Pacific Army,
Command said the balloons were
thirty-three feet in diameter and
had been landing for the past few
month on western Canada.
They reported they believed the
balloons had traveled east with
the revolution of the earth, thou
sands of feet above its surface at
the rate of about eighty miles per
hour.
A dispatch from Regina said de
tachments of the R. C. M. P. usu
ally were the first to reach the
balloons which landed in the
prairie region, and citizens gave
them wide berth until they had
been fenced off.
[Trieste Situation
Less Tense
TRIESTE, May 23 — (JP) — The
dispute between the Allied gov
ernments and Gen. Tito over his
occupation of Trieste seemed near
a final settlement after a tense
period during which there was a
sharp exchange between Field
Marshal Alexander and the Yugo
slav leader.
A new feeling of calm and re
laxation seemed to spread through
the Adriatic port. Alexander ar
rive late yesterday and Lt. Gen.
Sir Bernard Freyberg, commander
of the New Zealand Second Corps
gave a dinner last night at which
there were several high Yugoslav
officers.
Alexander, the supreme Allied
commander of the Mediterranean
theater of war inspected the New
Zealand troops.
A few Yugoslav patrols filtered
through the streets but in greatly
reduced strength. Fewer partisans
armed wih machine guns and
German hand grenades appeared
on the streets.
