Trieste, July 7. Anti-Allied demonstrations flared in Trieste last night in the wake of the “Big, Four" Foreign Ministers decision to internationalize the city. British troops used clubs and tear gas to break up the crowds of demonstrators. Rocks and stones were flung as freely as unprintable epithets by hundreds of Italian youths, who surged back and forth before the Unita Plaza, where most of the Allied military government offices are situated.

Labour Govt. Weathers
Two "Storms"
London, July 7.
Britain's Labour Government has just faced two most serious challenges during its existence. The first came from its own supporters on the Palestine issue and the second came from the Opposition on the bread issue. The Govern- ment faced both successfully but these chal- lenges may be renewed soon.
Labour Member Sidney Silverman, 52-year-old Jewish lawyer, raised the Palestine issue last Monday. Silverman is conspicuous in the House of Commons because of his ability in debate and with the aid of 37 other Labour Members and one or two Independent Mem- bers, he forced the Government to abandon
