Former Premier Takes Office After Parlia-
 ment Vote

Athens, Dee. II P)-AleXander Zaimis, who preceded M. Nenlselos as premier, was elected president of today. He succeeds Admiral kon- douriotis, who resigned this week because of ill health and approach ing old age.
 NJ. Zaimis' success caused no sur prisc, as it was known. influential clements had aligned themselves with him. Zaimis has been prime minister and minister of foreign affairs several times.
 President Zaimis was born in 1855 and has been premier five times. He entered public life proml- ncntly after the disastrous Greco Turkish war in 1897, becoming pre- mer and again in 1901.
 Tn 1906 he was appointed high commissioner of the powers i'll Crete where he discovered the talents Of the Greek statsman Nenizelos and predicted great futVre for him. He headed three cabinets in 1915, 1916 and 1917, and on the last occa- sion had to announce to King Con- stantine the decision of the powers that he must abdicate.
 In 1922 after Constantine's second abdication Zaimis refused his sixth premiership because of his eye sight, but was discussed as a pos sble president in 1924.
