Names on a Rock. Trieste was the other big unsettled issue of the Italian treaty.

British and Russian occupation troops, facing each other across the restive Greco-Bulgar border, were getting into each other's sphere of influence and into each other's hair. The controlled Yugoslav press, taking its cue from Marshal Tito's blast at Greek "terrorism" (TIME, July 16), screamed insistently about "20,000" Slav refugees from Macedonia. To Salonika from Athens hurried Premier Admiral Petros Voulgaris to make a personal investigation...
