Thanks for highlighting the error. I've changed accordingly. But I still see nothing for the label. I can't figure out what else needs to be amended. I've tried different parameters but failed. To the minimum, what's missing in the following portion?
I have the sans font properly put at the right place
Since DGN file has just one layer, I assume I only needs to deal with one layer here?
Below is the portion of the code for the layer.
LAYER
NAME dgn
TYPE LINE
STATUS DEFAULT
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "11sw9d.dgn,0"
STYLEITEM "AUTO"
LABELITEM "Text"
CLASS
NAME "USA"
OUTLINECOLOR 60 60 60
SYMBOL 0
LABEL
COLOR 255 255 255
SHADOWCOLOR 218 218 218
SHADOWSIZE 2 2
TYPE TRUETYPE
FONT sans
SIZE 12
ANTIALIAS TRUE
POSITION CL
PARTIALS FALSE
MINDISTANCE 300
BUFFER 4
END # end of label
END
END # Layer

Your label definition must sit inside the class. So:

Hi All,
Thanks for your information. Based on your comments, I've added
label section, the fonts and font list for FONTSET.
I don't know what should I put for LABELITEM. I put "Text", as
seen in the dump out of OGRFeatures. (sorry, I am really novice in the
terms to use). I've tried amending the various parameters but still
don't see the labels coming out.
Would you please pinpoint me what else I should change in the
map file? Thanks.
My MapFile below:

Jack,
I *think* the most common reason autostyling text from
OGR fails in
mapserver is forgetting to map the "default" font in
your fontlist.txt file.
This is the font name used when the LABEL tool does not
include
an explicit font name, as in this case.
Hopefully this will help.
Best regards,
