 A car carrying General Poroff, head of the Russian military mis- sion to Athens, was struck by bull let during the fighting near one police station. Popoff was not hurt, but he lodged protest with Papan- dreou's military command.
 Tanks Patrol
 British tanks patrolled the streets and infantry units took up positions in Thission, but did not participate in any of the street fighting.
 Four persons were killed in clash win police when a demonstration parade in sympathy for the 16 per- sons killed in Sundays riots passed a police station. Latest reports said the Sunday toll had risen to q with the deaths of five persons wounded by police bullets.
 An unidentified civilian attempt ing to throw hand grenade against a small group of Fam demonstra- tors in street ne ar the central university was lynched on the spot.
 A few persons were arrested while tearing down proclamations from the bovernment and Scobie.
 Unconfirmed reports said Elas troops also had seized the greater part of Piraeus, the port of Athens. A British interpreter was killed and three British sailors or naval officers were wounded yesterday in an abortive Elas attack on building at Piraeus described variously as a Greek secret service headquarters and Anglo Greek Naval Head quarters.
 Elias Tsirikomos, who resigened as minister of National Economy and is secretary of the Union of Popular Democracy Party, said in an inter- view that the only solution to the crisis appeared to be the resigra- tion of Papandreou and the forma- ton of 8 new government.
 Opinions Differ

 We repeatedly pointed out to the premier that the only way to nor mality is the dissolution of all re- sistance forces. including the bri- eade responsible for the bloodshed. Fam intended a peaceful, unarmed demonstration Sunday. but Papan- dreou. after giving permission Sat- urday night, about faced Saturday midnight forbidding 1t.
 This trapped the people, since 1t was impossible for Fam to cancel the demonstration that late. Be. fore the clash. Q negotiated solution would have been possible. but now the only way out of the crisis would be the resignation of Papandreou."
 If the government does not resign within the next 36 hours. the final showdown may come tomorrow mid- night, when scobie's ultinatum for the withdrawal of Elas troops from Athens and Piraeus expires.

 EIas Resistance
 The rioting and bloodshed were precipitated by the resistance of the Elas units to an order by Ut. Gen. Ronald Scobie, allied commander in Greece, to turn in arms and de- mobilize.
 A general strike which paralyzed the entire Athens area continued, as brisk skirmishing went on be- tween ElaS partisans and other fac- tions of the widely diversified Greek political setup
 Churchill, reviewing the Greek situation, said that lon the evil dence so far available, I am not prepared to say who started the firing" when FAM forces demon- strated in the principal square of Athens in defiance of govern ment ban, imposed when the gen. eral strike was called.
 "It is deplorable that an event like this should take place in Ath- ems scarcely month after the city's liberation" he said.
 Greece is faced with most des- perate economic and financial prob- lens, apart fro mcivil war, which we are trying to stop"
 He said the main burden falls on us" and the responsibility lis within our Allied military sphere that is. our military sphere agreed upon by our principal Allies.
 Must Help Themselves
 "Our plans will not succeed un- less the Greek government and the whole Greek people exert them selves on their own behalf. If the damage of four years of war and enemy occupation is to be repaired, and if Greek life and economy are to be rebuilt, their internal stabil- ity must be maintained and pend- ing general election under fair conditions, the authority of the con- stitutional Greek government must be accepted and enforced through out the country.
 Armed force must be dependent on the Greek government. No gov ernment can have sure founda- tion so long as there are private armies owing allegiance to group, party or theology, instead of to the state or nation.
 Although these facts should be clear to all, left wing and Com munist ministers have resigned from the Greek government at this dan- gerous crisis rather than imple- ment measures to which they had already agreed for replacement of FAM police an dguerrillas by reg llar National services"
 Communist Willie Gallacher ir- terrupted to ask why the Greek ministers resigned and Churchill replied:
 T say they have resigned. I am stating the facts. I thought the whole house would like full an- swer. In addition FAM leaders have called general strike which is for the time being preventing food we and America are providing from reaching the mouths of the population we are trying to feed"
 He said he believed the British stand had the support of an over- whelning majority of the Greek people. and the Allies were doing everything they could to assist, but we cannot do this if the tommy guns which were provided for use against the Germans are now used in an attempt to impose by violence a Communist dictatorship without the people being able to express their wishes"
