Fighting broke out. between students and Communists in front. of the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, The Communists — who are considered here to favor Yugoslav control of Trieste — were coming down the steps of the tomb when they were set upon by students. Numerous “minor injuries were suffered in the fight, waged with sticks and stones. It was virtually a repetition of similar clashes yesterday.” LL Sa The "huge crowd of students, workers and war veterans who demonstrated in the Piazza Venezia appealed against a monarchy in Italy and asked for a national assembly. | But Trieste was the main theme, its seriousness underlined by Tito’s strongly-worded challenge. to the allied high’ command.

The Trieste matter—a quarrel between Italy and Yugoslavia dating back to the last war—threatened to involve the allied ‘armies in a repetition of the “Greek tragedy," one front dispatch said, referring to the fighting between the British and Greek rebel forces in Athens last winter. An Exchange Telegraph dispatch sald there had been fierce fighting between the German garrison and Tito’s troops before the New Zealanders accepted the surrender of the city, .
