the plebiscite which had apparent
ly returned the exiled King George
II to the throne of their mother
country.
The local Greeks, a closely-knit
group whose members have main
tanned keen interest in politics OF
their native land, believe that
Georges recall will stabilize Greece
and keep her in close harmony
with the United States and Great
Britain, according to the views ex-
pressed by five of them here last
night.
John H. Papson, proprietor Of a
10 Market Street cafe and a leader
of War Relief activities, put the
case for a Greek monarchy this
way:

ATHENS, Monday, Sept. 2.
.(R)-The flow of official re-
from the Sunday plebls-
cite indicated Monday that
the Greeks had voted over
whelmingly to return King
George II to the throne. Scat
tered violence marked the
election.
A tabulation of official figures
showed $3.50 votes in favor of the
kings return and 1856 against.
Eighteen deaths were attributed
to political violence by Grs~k Of
ficials.
The Ministry Of Public order said
a number Of communist attacks oc-
Cured during the day. and that
Communist bands were repulsed in
an unsuccessful attempt to prevent
voting in Larissa and Mitsi.
Four persons described as ban
dts were reported killed In an
attack ON q gendarmeries station
near Kozani. Another attack was
reported on a police station near
that town.
Each voter was given two bal
marked for the king and
the other blank. A person opposing
the monarchy had the choice of
either casting the ballot blank or
for a republic" ALI such ballots
marked or not-eounted
for the republic, however.
Unmarked Blanks
OF the first 1886 votes tabulated
against the monarchy, 2,489 were
blank. This was regarded as a show
of communist strength, since the
communist party had ordered its
supporters to cast unmarked
blanks.
