Athens Streets PotroIIed
By Armored Cars on Eve
Of Elections Today
BY the Associated Press

ATHENS, Mar. 80. Leftists
opposed to tomorrow's parlia-
mentary elections clashed with
police tonight, few hours after
10000 leftists at a mass meeting
had demanded the custer OF
British troops from Greece.
The Athens police chief said four
policemen were hurt and one DEM
onstrator wounded Police fired
into the air to disperse EAM leftist
block and IKE (communist)
demonstrators who brandished iron
bars, sticks and stones.
The Left-wing groups held their
mass meeting this evening in the
climax to an intensive campaign
to keep voters from going to the
polls tomorrow in the first elections
In more than 10 years.
Athens Streets Patrolled.
Armored cars mounting machine
guns and trucks loaded with state
police patrolled Athens streets.
Some disorders were reported
throughout Greece, but details were
lacking.
Leftist groups are boycotting the
elections in which the conservative
Populist party appears likely to win
majority OF the 354 seats in
Parliament. The Leftists charge
the Populists, dominated by Royal
lists, are planning a coup to return
King George II to Greece.
At the mass meeting near Consti-
tuition Square the huge crowd of
lettist sympathizers shouted They
should go!" when former Foreign
Minister John Sophianopoulos de-
nounced the presence of British
troops and charged that the cleo
tions were forced on Greece by the
British
Communist Held TRAITORS.
But former Premier George Pa
pandreou, closing the campaign of
the National Bloc, described Com
munism as "a traitor of Greece
and said it was deceiving the Allies.
He said the Communists feared the
elections because they lacked popu-
lar support.
Armed soldiers and sailors ap-
peared throughout the Attica dis
trict, which includes Athens. Four
fire trucks manned by steel-helmet-
ed firemen were stationed near CEN
tral police headquarters here. Squads
of 20 policemen were posted at corn
ers near Constitution Square.
British troops, whose presence in
Greece also has drawn bitter pro-
tests from the Russians, stood by
to guard against violence which has
plagued this poverty ridden country
since the end of the war.

Parking Meters Are
Slated For Caldwell

In the opinion of Mayor S. NJ. Sc
crest, the Caldwell business zone
will soon have parking meters and
as chief executive of the community
he has gone on record favoring
them.
The present plan calls for parking
meters to be installed on all sides
of the public square and possibly one
block off the business zone, in each
direction.
Mayor Secrest pointed out that
the meters would soon pay for
themselves and do much to eliminate
the usual congestion of traffic in
Caldwell in the summer season and
particularly on Saturday evenings.
All revenue received from the
meters would go into the general
fund which operated last year ";n

1t is expected that the council will

CANDIDATES TO
FILE EXPENSE
ACCOUNTS, MAY II
Judges And Clerks
Receive $1,456.60
For Their Services

The Noble county primary election
is now history, the votes have been
tabulated, the certificates of election
issued, and the two parties are grid
ing themselves for the pay-off this
November.
1t requires an army of men and
women to manage any election and
this is true in Noble county, as we'll
as every other political subdivision
in the state.
Governed by the dictates of the
Election board, the judges and clerks
in each precinct, are responsible
that the election returns are phoned
in promptly, the votes counted ac-
curately, and all ballots, necessary
for an election, returned to head
quarters in Caldwell.
The fact that the official vote
varied only slightly from the unof-
ficials tally, speaks highly of the
judges and clerks, who handled the
results.
There are six to a precinct, and
with the exception of the presiding
judge, each receives $3.50 for their
work. The presiding officials receive
an additional $500 for obtaining the
supplies and ballots and SC for mile
age. The average cost per precinct
is approximately $41.6O. Total cost
for the judges and clerks in this
election was $1,456.60.
All candidates, successful or other
wise, must file an expense account
by May II. For the various precincts
in the county, those who served in
this capacity, are as follows:
Beaver-John J. Shamhart, Homer
Shuman, H. E. Pierce, Harry E.
