...Russians were directly involved; Field Marshal Alexander's immediate adversaries were Yugoslav Partisans who had tried to seize title to Trieste before Italy's claims could be settled by Big Power negotiation (TIME, May 28). Last week, while negotiations with Marshal Josip Broz (Tito) continued, Alexanders U.S., New Zealand and Indian troops held a line running inland from Trieste deep into Titoland. After visiting this fantastic, front, TIME Correspondent Tom Durrance cabled...
...Friends. I Jeeped up a secondary road well within Yugoslav territory. At the first Yugoslav roadblock about two miles north of Trieste, I was stopped by a group of 20 or 30 men. One of them, a big, bearded character loaded down with grenades and ammunition belts, demanded my pass. I had none, but fished out my typewritten permit to eat at the British officers' mess in Trieste.

Later I went with other correspondents to see the Yugoslav commissar for Gorizia, whose offices were in the town's swankiest building. Ushered in with snappy saluting, we discovered an educated young man. However, when he learned the purpose of our visit-to get his reaction to the penetration of his lines-he quickly excused himself, and sent in eight bottles of beer. With the beer came an older, baldheaded, bug-eyed captain, who obviously...
