The markets action was attrib-

engendered by belief that the dan

GREECE SUBDUES
ISLAND REVOLT
1000 Soldiers Landed at
Canea - Quickly Sup.
pressed Outlaws

Athens, Greece, July 29-(UP)-
Seven thousand government SOL
diers, sailors and gendarmes landed
at Canea, Crete, today to suppress
an outbreak of armed peasants who
seized control of tfhe city. Twenty
five airplanes co-operated with the
landing force.
Marital law was imposed In the
Canea area as the troops and auxili-
aries landed.
Government advices reported that
nephew OF the late Eleutherios
Venizelos and a former mayor of
Canea led the revolt.
Army airplanes flew over Crete,
dropping pamphlets which urged
the peasants not to join the fall
ing" revolt.
Government advices said that as
the troops moved to the attack the
rebels began surrendering or escap-
ing to the countryside to escape en-
circlement.
Troops, gendarmes and sailors
from four destroyers landed on the
island Of Suda Bay, Castelli and
Colymbari.
400 Seized Control
Four hundred armed islanders
seized control Of Canea this morn
ing, according to government re-
ports, under Aristomenis Mitso-
talks, nephew Of VeniZelos and a
former minister of national econ
omy, and former Mayor Mountakis
of Canea. The islanders who took
part were peasants, 1t was said.
They marched on Canea this morn
ing and seized control.
The rebels took advantage Of the
absence OF most troops OF the nor
NAL garrison, who were sent to the
northern frontier of Greece to REIN
force the frontier guard, as Is usual
In summer.
AS soon as Gen. John Metaxas,
premier, heard Of the revolt he sent
a strong force OF army, aviation and
navy units TO Crete to suppress the
uprising, without waiting to deter
mine the precise motives which led
to t.
Government authorities reported
that the uprising was confined to
Canea, and that the rest OF the
Island Of Crete, and Greece itself
were quiet.
Under Dictatorship
Greece has been under dicta-
torship since August 4, 1895, when
Gen. John Metaxas assumed full
powers as premier, foreign minister,
war minister, navy minister and air
minister under King George II.
Greece was declared kingdom by
a constituent assembly October II.
1885 and King George reassumed
the throne after plebiscite held on
November 3, 1885.
During recent months number
Of opposition political leaders have
been arrested on charges Of plot
ting against the state.
In March 1885, the growing
strength of the monarchist move
ment caused q revolt by liebral ele-
ments under the late Eleutherios
Venizelos. The rebellion was put
down and Venizelos fled abroad to
remain an exile until he died In
March 1885.

DODD RECOMMENDS
SCHOOLS REPAIRS
NYA Woodworking Prof.
Gets Now Operating in
Various State Cities

NYA woodworking projects con-
centrating on renovating school
desks and other educational equip
meat were recommended to towns
and cities OF the state as ideal and
efficient" by State Director Thomas
j. Dodd here today.
Dodd said projects OF this nature
are now In operation in New Haven,
Hartford, New Britain, Milford, Mid
dletown, New London and Mont
vile.
The state director pointed to New
Haven whose school board pioneer
ed this type of project as proof
OF its efficiency and value.
In New Haven, Dodd said, there
has been an approximate saving Of
$3.50 TO the city since last Novem-
Der when the board Of education in
itiated this project. Since the start
of the project between 400 and 49,
600 school desks have been COM
pIetely repaired and reprinted at a
cost of only five cents a desk 10
the city. This sum covers the cost
Of materials used by the 65 NYA
youths on the project.
III the city were TO get this work
lone privately, which its present
budget does not allow, Dodd said. the
cost would have been 20 cents a
desk.
Another phase OF this project is a
power equipped woodworking shop
which manufactures kindergarten
chairs for the school system. The
cost to the city for this phase has
been the equipment which will be
used In the regular woodworking
classes when the project terminates
and the expense OF the materials.
Materials for each chair averages
81, Dodd stated, and II these were
to be purchased privately, the cost
would be between $3.50 and $2.75 a
chair.
This aspect Is valuable, the direc-
tor declared, because 1t not only ac-
complishes a no-budgetary improve
ment for the city cheaply, but also
provides the youths with occupa-
tionAl training and experience which
will prove helpful TO them In Sc
curing employment with private in
dustry later.
Dodd urged local communities OF
the state sponsoring similar projects
TO save themselves money and give
the NYA an opportunity OF training
youth In occupation.
