BY the Associated Press.
ATHENS, Nov. 24.-Archbishop

government quarters today to have
withdrawn his resignation as regent,

British that he remain in Office.
The archbishop refused yesterday
to comply with these requests. made
by Premier Themistokles Sophou-
lis, British Foreign Secretary Err
nest Bevin and Hector Mcneil, Brit
ish emissary to Greece. He also de-
clined to sign any laws or DEGREES.
It was believed that Damaskinos
might have bargained with the gov
ernment for more authority in nam
ing ministers, in return for with
drawing his resignation.
Mr.. Bevin, in a letter to the re-
gent, said he considered it "impor-
tant in your country's interest that
you should remain at your post and
take care of your country until inte-
grafton of the task"
Thanasis Agnides, Greek Ambas-
sador to London, was recalled to
Athens today for consultations with
the new Greek government. He had
been mentioned in Athens as pos
sible head of Greek coalition gov
ernment capable of nonpartisan
leadership.

saw away unobserved.
This was just what one of the
men did and that man, according
to Snyder, was Reed. All the
escapes were of slight build, which
made 1t simpler for them to slip
through the aperature, and Reed
weighing 1913 pounds, was no ex-
ception.
Snyder said Reed sawed for
awhile, then became cold and
climbed back in.
After that Clements climbed up
and started saving" Snyder told
Inspector Robert j. Barrett, who
took over the police investigation.
Guard Re-opened Window.
"He was in there working about
10 minutes when a guard came
along and closed the window" Mr.
Barrett said Snyder told him. "A
little later some of the men began
hollering that it was hot, and the
guard returned and opened the win
dow"
Clements was gone and in the
window was an inviting hole formed
by severed, bent bar. Reed. Man

needed air and casually slipped
through the hole.

Guard Force Not Reduced.
MI. Gill said the Jail was being
guarded by the same number of
men on a 44-hour week that for
merly operated on a 48- hour
schedule.
Theorizing, the superintendent
said the fugitives probably selected
one of three escape routes: South
ern Maryland, downtown Washing
ton or Baltimore. In any event,
they likely would scatter, he said.
Mr.. Gill also told of the Tip" of
last week that a break was being
plotted. At that time a thorough
search was made of all cells and
the prisoners transferred to different
cells, he said
Three automobiles were listed by
the police as having been stolen
late yesterday afternoon and may
| have been used by the four escaped
prisoners. They are a 1941 black
Buick sedan, D. C. tag number
113-761; a 1910 green Chevrolet
sedan, D. C. ~51-516, and a 1910
