Damaskinos Now Reported
Continuing as Regent
BY the As.eeioted Pres,


ATHENS, April 13. Sources
which preferred anonymity said to-
night that Archbishop Damaskinos
had decided to continue in his post
as regent of Greece.
Since the formation of the new
Greek cabinet after the national
elections March 81, Damaskinos had
insisted on resigning then regency
he accepted under British sponsor
ship year and a half ago.
Informants said Damaskinos ca
bled his decision to remain as
regent to King George II of Greece,
in exile in London.
Meanwhile, three leaders of the
National Bloc. a coalition of GEN.
trist parties, indicated they might
resign from the cabinet following
transmission OF a message from the
monarchists to King George. In
the message the monarchists de-
clared the National Bloc was dis
cussing the regency question with
IAN Allied representative.
The National Bloc leaders, George
Papandreou. Panayotis Kanellopou-
los and Sophocles Venizelos, min
lsters without portfolio, told news
men that the monarchists' message
lodged "distrust and blame against
the bloc leaders" and that they

Veterans Groups Ask
Tax, Surplus Changes

Two World War II organizations
each made proposal yesterday for
the assistance of veterans and
their dependents-revision of tax
laws and setting aside SO per cent
of certain surplus property items
for the use of veterans.
American Veterans of World War
II, which asked States to consider
tax law revision, contended that
comparatively small amounts of in
surance are wiped out by inheritance
taxes on estates left by men killed
in the service.
Jack Hardy, AMVET commander,
cited the case of submarine officer
who was lost with his ship in the
Pacific, leaving a wife and two
small children. The proceeds of all
his life insurance, Mr.. Hardy said
he was told, will be required to pay
his estate taxes within one year,
making it doubtful if his remain
ing assets will provide sufficient
income to maintain a home and
educate his children.
The American Veterans Commit
tee, meanwhile, called on Senate
and House committees working on
surplus property legislation, to set
aside surplus property reserves for
veterans instead of leaving veterans
to take what Is left after Federal,
State and local agencies have had
their turn.
AVG recommended particularly
setting up reserves for motor We
hicles, Office furniture. medical and
dental equipment, business ma
chimes, maintenance tools, photo
graphic supplies and construction
equipment,

Negotiations between Denmark
and the United States which have
yet to be concluded have already
returned to Danish occupation the
immense ice-bound island off the

That agreement, which called for
eventual evacuation of all United

Clipping ribbon across the en-
trance to Skyline Caverns, which
have been closed since 1912, Gov
Tuck officially opened the tourist
season in this area today and then
made his first underground cavern
tour.
Earlier, an estimated 10000 per-
sons had congregated here to see the
Governor and his official party lead
a parade which featured musical
units from the Marine barracks at
Quantico, Randolph Macon Academy
and the Warren County High
School,
The Governor led the parade
through downtown Front Royal in
jeep. He was accompanied by H.

Mr.. Tuck said his tour of Skyline
Caverns at the conclusion of a two
day visit here was his first time
underground. When the party had
reached a depth of about $50 feet
beneath the surface of the earth,
some one remarked that this would
have been an excellent opportunity
for employees of the Virginia Elec-
trio & Power Co. to walk out on
strike. He had reference to Mr..
Tuck's recent action drafting about
1900 Vepco employees into the
State Guard to prohibit a power
shutdown throughout the State.

O'Conor appealed to Maryland
farmers today to intensity this
years crop and seed production for
use in 1947 by allowing all wheat
to ripen for harvest, instead of plow-
Ing under wheat acreage to permit

The Governor added that farmers

crops.
Stressing a need for cutting down
on the consumption of wheat, Gov.
OConor said Maryland and the
