Another source of interruption
was the singing by persons in the

impart to others the information
that they too were singers. Though
this knowledge may be gratifying
to the individual, those in the
audience would much rather hear
the singer ON the program. =

3 Strategic Centers
CRY Associated Pressl

MANILA, P. l. Aug. 90 Phil
ippine national army officials con-
template the establishment of
three strategic. centers in the
archipelago, each with 200 sold
iers and the necessary number of
officers. Other centers will be
opened as they are needed, to be
located at Camp Murphy, Risal
province, near Manila; at Cebu,
and at Parang, in the province of
Cotabato.
Camp Murphy is sufficiently
close to Manila so that soldiers
could be rushed into the city, if
need be, in a short time. Cebu
is center of population in the
Visays, while Parang is the center
of Mindanao provinces. The lat
ter center will be of great strate-
gic military value in covering the

REVOLT
PLOT BALKED
BY GREECE

ATHENS, Aug. S UN.S0.
Greece's royalist governm en- t
crushed a Communist plot" to-
day, clamped the nation under
martial law and then established
Premier John Metaxas, grizzled
army general, as virtual dictator,
announcing it had acted to pre-
vent a national catastrophe"
The government charged the
Communists with plotting to
"break up Greek society" and to
plunge Greece into a class civil
war like Spain's.
Parliament was dissolved in a
lightning stroke, and within few
hours Metaxas issued a proclama-
ton announcing this step had
been taken because the Parlia-
ment was manifestly powerleSS to
give the country an efficient gov
eminent.
He said the government had
acted also because Of the danger
of Communist propaganda and be-
cause of what he called systematic
opposition to the government "by
partisans Of a state Of affairs
liable to lead to a social and ma
tional catastrophe"
General Metaxas, in a memo
randum to the King, warned
him, after he set forth his rea-
sons for proclaiming marital law:
eff we permit this strike, it
will be impossible to prevent
terrible bIOOdshed, and once it
breaks out fear we will not
be able to suppress it,"
The premier then issued an ap-
peal for the support of "all those
who love their country and de-
sire real liberty" saying 1--WE
will act with the King for the
benefit of the people. My aim
is discipline, and I will deal
drastically with all forms Of re-
action"
