By the Associated Press.

ATHENS, Dec. 8.-British patrols
in tanks and armored cars pushed
out from Athens today to meet 700
insurgent ELIAS militiamen ad-
vancing from the northeast on the
Greek capital, where firing was re-
sumed.
Clearing skies broke the overnight
lull In the civil strife. ,
| From heavy machine-gun posi-
tions atop the Royal Palace and
captured Communist headquarters
in Constitution Square, British
parachute troops covered patrols
tanning out through the wooded
park behind and east of the palace
ELIAS patrols infiltrated the woods
and took up new positions during
the night, despite constant FIRE
The ELIAS were reported dug in
strongly around five concrete stadia
deeper in the park.
Chutists Cleanup.
Parachute troops pursued the
cleanup in the residential section
across the main road to Pireaus
from the park to the foot of the
Acropolis. Parachuters held the
heights of the Acropolis.
The ELIAS strategy appeared tC
be to bring up forces from the south
east suburbs around back of the
royal palace to reinforce insurgents
attacking Greek brigade barracks
to the northwest. Reserves also
were reported coming in from the
northwest to join the engagement
British Beaufighter planes stood
by for use If needed. An ELIAS
wounded man said in a hospital
that Spitfire and Beaufighter fire
caused number Of ELIAS casualties
yesterday.
1000 Surrender.
Nearly 900 members of the ELIAS,
armed militia of the Fam National
Liberation Front, had surrendered
up to this morning to British
forces.
fThe Paris radio reported with
out confirmation that Leftist
forces were In control of the
Greek provinces of Thrace and
Macedonia)
Greek hospitals are working at top
pressure patching up hundreds OF
casualties, including women and
children, as result Of the Athens

One wounded EAM member said
why did the British bring in Pa
pandreou? This nightmare would
have been averted If an Anglo
Americana Russian commission had
come in and run the country until
elections"

clothes, one Briton of IL and the

patrolled the streets of Brussels and
prevented November putsch to
destroy the Pierlot government and
Gen. Eisenhower's decisions were
absolutely right"
Mr.. Churchill's statement about
Count Sforza and Italy brought
shouts of de Gaulle" from Labor
benches
Mr. Churchill replied Il GER
tainly never felt about De Gaulle
the sentiments which experience has
engendered in me about Count
SforZa. De Gaulle is a man of honor
and has never broken his words"
Refers to Criticism.
Declaring again his pledge tc
stand upon the foundation of q
free election based upon universal
suffrage" in the liberated lands, he
referred indirectly to criticism OF
his policy from both at home and
abroad, and said:
I'VE are marching along our on
erous and painful task alone. Per-
haps I ought to say poor old Brit
ain. We have to assume the bur-
den and the most thankless tasks
scoffed at, abused and criticized
from every quarter
In a broadside defense of his pol
icy. as he concluded an s0-minute
address, Mr.. Churchill declared:
Il have no fear at all that the
most searching inquiry into the pol
icy which we have pursued in Bel
GUM, Holland, Italy and Greece
will entitle any man in whose breast
fairness and fair play reside to ac-
cuse us of pursuing reactionary
policies or hampering the free ex-
preston of the national will"
One of Bitterest Attacks.
Sir Richard Acland, leader of the
Commonwealth p~rty, and Mr.
Cocks led the attack in Commons
and charged the British were sup
porting monarchy and right-wing
factions against the left. \
Spokesman for a left-wing Labor
faction-in one of the bitterest OF
wartime attacks on the government
declared Britain stood in danger of
losing the friendship of the Greeks
just as England lost the American
Colonies in the Revolutionary War
Mr.. Cocks demanded assurance
that British troops both in Greece
and other liberated countries would
not be used to "disarm friends of
democracy" He assailed the British
Ambassador in Greece, Reginald
Leeper, as "the evil genius Of mod
ern Greece remark he later
withdrew-and called King George
of Greece dictator and "Hohen-
zollern prince"
Mr.. Churchill said that as long
ago as the Quebec conference he
had told President Roosevelt that
the Fam and Communist extrem-
lists would attempt to seize the city
of Athens and crush all forces but
their own" after the Germans were
expelled from Greece.
The ELIAS, he said. were "mu-
tineers to the orders of the supreme
commander OF the Mediterranean
under whom all guerrillas have un-
dertaken to serve"
Whole Policy Under Fire.
Mr.. Churchills whole policy was
under fire - one Laborite member

bringing in the name of SPANS
Generalissimo Franco.
Swinging at the mention of Mus
solini, the Prime Minister replied
tartly:
I'm 1923 I certainly did support
him In the sense of making speeches
to say that 1t was very good thing
that Italy was not plunged into
bolshevism."
Answering Laborite demands that
he give assurance that British troops
would not be used to disarm friends
OF democracy" he said:
The government would be un-
worthy of confidence If his majesty's
forces were being used to disarm
the friends of democracy in Greece
and other parts of Europe.
The question arises, who are the
friends of democracy?"
Cheers Greet Retort.
Cheers-and some countercheers
In the clearly divided house-greeted
Mr.. Churchills first retort to Mr.
Cocks denunciation of the govern
ment for intervening in Greece to
keep George Papandreon as Premier
against the Fam forces there.
How is the word democracy to
be Interpreted" asked Mr.. Churchill.
He said his own idea of democ-
racy was that of the ordinary man
fighting for his country and then
casting his vote.
If that was democracy, Mr..
Churchill said, he saluted 1t.
Laborite Emanuel Shinwell inter-
rupted to ask I'm Spain?"-and the
Prime Minister snapped back:
This Is one Of those gross mis-
representations that a certain class
of people indulge in-that I have
spoken praising words about Franco
All said was that Spanish politics
did not merely consist of writing
rude words on a WALL
Then he looked directly at the
Laborite leader and said:
TT is really no use for Mr.. Shin
well to screw up his face as If he
were taking a nasty dose of medi.

Mr. Shinwell shot back: THAT Is
precisely what I am doing and many

Fair and Free Election.
Mr. Churchill was cheered by the
conservatives when he declared
Democracy is no harlot TO be
picked up In the street by a man
with a tommygun."
we stand upon the foundation OF
fair and free election based upon
universal suffrage" he said. II feel
quite different about q swindle-
democracy. 1t takes all sorts tc
make a democracy, not only a left
wing or even Communists.
Il do not accept party as neces
sarily representing democracy be-
cause it becomes more violent as 1t
becomes less numerous.
The last thing that represents
democracy is mob law, with bands
of gangs armed with deadly weapons

duce a totalitarian regime and
clamoring to shoot every one who is
politically inconvenient, as part OF

said. "it does not follow that those
