EAM Spokesman Charges
Premier Broke PIedoe

NEW YORK, Dec IA (P).-A spokes-
man for the Greek EAM, Losta
IGavrilidis. in speech over the free
Greece" radio transmitter in Athens,
today accused Premier George Pa
pandreou Of breaking an agreement
made last May 20 in Lebanon which
he said stipulated that vile war
criminals and collaborators with the
occupier should be arrested and
punished" The Federal Communi-
cations Commission reported the
broadcast.
Two months after the liberation,
not only had none been condemned,
not only had those guilty of the
destruction of the state not been
arrested, but black marketeers and
collaborationists were continuing to
circulate freely" Gavrilidis declared.
He said that although "the disso-
luton of all volunteer units and the
creation of national army were
discussed in Lebanon" Papandreou
sought to dissolve only "the popu-
lar army of the ELIAS" and still
keep under arms" the Greek noun
tain brigade and other armed
groups.
In another broadcast recorded by
FEC the Rome radio said a "seri-
Gus diplomatic incident" had arisen
between the government of Premier
Papandreou and the Bulgarian gov
ernment.
'The Greek Premier has sent q
note to the Allied Armistice Com
mission in Sofia" the domestic
broadcast said, protesting against
the Bulgarians supplying arms to
rebel forces in Macedonia

Hobbs Bill, Resulting
From McNabb RuIinq,
Is Passed by House

The Hobbs bill to validate confes-
sions in criminal cases despite any
delay that might be encountered In
arraigning defendants, moved over
to the Senate today after months in
the House.
The measure, an outgrowth Of the
celebrated McNabb decision In the
Supreme Court, passed the House
yesterday by q voice vote, after
Representative Cox, Democrat, of
Georgia had described the court as
composed mainly of "left-wing re-
formers"
In the McNabb case, the court
reversed the murder conviction of
three Tennessee mountain youths
on the ground that they had been
held overly long for questioning be-
fore arraignment. The principals
later were convicted of manslaugh-
ter, and again have an appeal pend
ing IN the court. In the meantime
the court has modified the rule in
upholding the conviction here of
James P. Mitchell, the society
burglar"
Advocating passage of the legis-
lation, Mr.. Cox told the House the
Supreme Court "is regarded as be-
Ing made up, In the main. of left
wing reformers Of slight legal ex-
perience, who no longer interpret
law but have gone into the business
OF making laws themselves"
The result, he added, has been
that but few have confidence in the
court or respect for its decisions"

Return to the District of Julian
r. De Marcos, T7-year- FOLD convicted
slayer under indictment here on q
charge of assault with dangerous
weapon, awaits the outcome Of
removal hearing set for Saturday
in Knoxville, Tenn, where he is
being held under $4,000 bail.

freed by District Court Justice r.
Alan Goldsborough eight days ago
and ordered reincarcerated by the
Court OF Appeals last Friday, was
arrested Tuesday night by the FBI

came after the Government ap-

ing assaulted John Green, an in
