• Situation Tense;
In Yugoslavia
KELEGENFURT, Austria, May
16—</P)—Yugoslav demands in
the Austrian province of Carin
thia presented the Allied Powers
with a confused and extremely
delicate situation.
Two distinct military adminis
trations are functioning in this
provisional capital. The Yugoslav
military authorities are operating
seemingly as if the British Eighth
Army didn’t exist, although the
British military police patrol the
streets. The military strength in
the area is predominantly British.
The situation in Klegenfurt has
not reached the tenseness that it
( has in Trieste, Italy, but obvious
ly some agreement must be soon
reached so that the Eighth Army
can either turn its job over to
Tito’s partisans or carry out the
task it entered Austria to do after i
the bloody trek through Italy.
The territorial question in the
e Trieste area should be discussed
by the Italians and Yugoslavs
“when passion of war is spent.”

WASHINGTON, May 16—<>¥»)—
Major Gen. William J. Dono
van, chief of the highly secret of
fice of strategic services will help
to prosecute Europe’s war crim
inals.
Justice Jackson was designated
by President Truman as this
country’s chief war criminals
prosecutor. It was announced that
the selection of Donovan and two
other assistants, Sidney Alderman

Railway and assistant attorney

Washington.
The issue mustn’t “be prejudiced
by acts of force.’’
Italian Premier Bonomi de
clared yesterday in Rome that
Yugoslav proclamations have been
posted beside British announce
ments on many walls throughout
Klegenfurt, including one issued
by the partisans demanding that
every Austrian worker here re
port to his former job under the
pain of penalties.
