Slovenes Protest Turning Trieste Over To Italy

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, (AP)—New demonstrations broke out here today against the United States, Great Britain and Italy as President Tito and his cabinet met to formulate new protests against Italian occupation of the major part of the bitterly-disputed Trieste territory.

Rifle-carrying troops on horseback held back throngs which swarmed in front of the three embassies in angry protest against the British-American announcement they would withdraw their troops from Trieste port and the surrounding territory and turn it over to the Italians.

The mobs had pelted property occupied by the three foreign nations with stones until early today, smashing windows and damaging automobiles.

Tito hastily summoned his cabinet into emergency session. The government was expected to deliver a strong note of protest to the two Western powers later today.

There was speculation here that Tito might rush troop reinforcements to the border in an effort to delay the British-American withdrawal.
