ATHENS tBy Mail, The mili-
tary situation on the northern
frontiers Of Greece takes precedence
today over all other considerations
in this country.
The economic assistance promised
by the United States Government Is,
of course, essential to the rehahili-
tation OF Greece. But 1t Is admitted
In the highest government quarters,
and by all the foreign observers who
have swarmed to Athens in recent
weeks. that American assistance will
be sheer waste 1.-The strong military
units organized In Bulgaria, Yugo-
slayia and Albania break through
the mountain passes. The Greek
army alone Is not capable Of halting
them.
Thus the answer to the immediate
problem of Greece is to be found
only in Moscow. II the Soviet gov
ernment could be prevailed upon to
call of its wardogs, which have
gathered strength in the winters
comparative lull, Greece could re-
organize itself economically and po-
litically. Then economic and finan-
cial assistance from America would
help restore Greece to normally.
But If Russia sticks to her claim
that she has nothing to do with the
turbulent Balkan mess, and II the
guerrillas are. not ordered to stop
their attacks In Epirus and Mace
donia, the problem becomes ex-
clusively military and Americas

Reece Protests Use
OF Free Radio Time
For Truman Speech

Republican National Chairman
Carroll Reece has complained to
three radio networks that President
Trumans Jefferson Day speech was
frankly partisan and seemed "an
abuse" of free broadcasting time.
The COP chairman's letter, made
public last night, explained that
while he was not doing so at this
time, he believed he would be iusti-
fed in asking equal time for his
party.
Mr.. Truman spoke for 20 minutes
to a s10o-a-plate dinner put on by
the Democratic National Committee
at the Mayflower Hotel. His speech
was broadcast by American, Mutual
and NBC networks.
Mr.. Reece said Democratic Off
cials have declared Mr.. Truman
should be the party's, candidate for
the presidency next year and "it
would perhaps be justiflable to say
this affair was staged for the spur-
pose OF helping to raise Mr.. .Tru-
mans own campaign fund"
He estimated the radio time was
worth $4,000 and told the net
works:
"It has seemed To me for many
years past that such use of free
radio time for the avowed purpose
of raising campaign funds consti-
tutes an abuse of radio facilities,
and possibly violation of the spirit
at least of the legal restrictions
upon political contributions by cor
porations.
It realize, of course, that this is
an inherited abuse for which I am
not inclined to hold the broadcast
ing companies responsible.

u. S. Military Aid IS Declared
Heart Of Program for Greece

fined to economic and moral sup
lport.
The Greek army is in no shape
to cope with the Communist-in-
spired domestic disturbances and
with the growing threat Of a large
scale invasion from the north.
Greek defense forces are esti-
mated to number between 10000
and 1000 men. They are tired
out and poorly equipped. They lack
modern war materials, especially for
mountain guerrilla warfare. and
Greek military aviation. according
10 some of the highest officials of
the government. has become in-
tested with Communists sympathi-
zerS.
There is no question that Presi-
dent Tuman's appeal for aid to
Greece and Turkey was shot in
the arm for Greek military forces,
as 1t was for all the nom Commu-
mist Greek people. But its effect
can easily disappear If, in the next
few weeks, Greece is attacked by
large forces and suffers reverses.
During the severe winter months
the activities of the guerrillas were
confined to skirmishes In which
only small forces were engaged.
According to official information
there were seldom more than 200
guerrillas involved in any one
action. The total number in action
from Bulgarian to the Albanian
border is estimated at about 5000
men. But behind these bandits"
are forces far superior to anything
the Greeks can put in the field.

High Court Orders
State Labor Boards
To Yield 10 NLRB
By the Assceioted Press

The Supreme Court ruled yester-
day that State Labor Relations
Boards must keep hands of labor
dispute if it is of type with which
the National Labor Relations Board
deals.
The 6-3 decision upset New York
boards order for two steel companies
to recognize foremen's unions.
Justice Jackson, who wrote the
majority opinion. said the NLRB
has jurisdiction of the industry in
which these particular employers are
engaged and has asserted control of
their labor relations in general"
Other Major Discussions.
In other major decisions yester-
day, the high court:
Held unanimously that the war
time laws allowing foreign farm
workers to enter the United States
did not give them general exemption
from immigration laws. 1t ruled a
California court erred in so holding
when dismissing charges against
Lem Hoy for allegedly inducing
three Mexicans to enter the United
States.
Ruled that although the old price
control law expired June 80, 1916,
the Government was free TO bring
prosecutions after that date for vio-
lations occurring before the law
expired. This unanimous decision
overturned a Philadelphia courts
ruling.
Effort to Avoid Conflict Praised.
The decision on State Labor
Boards was a ruling in effect that
the Federal Board is supreme If:
(a 1t has jurisdiction to act,
and (b) has actually undertaken
regulation under that jurisdiction.
The ma ajority decision notes that
National and State Boards have
made "a commendable effort" to
avoid conflict in the overlapping
status of Federal and State laws.
1t leaves with State boards juris-
diction over industries in cases
where the National Board has not
undertaken any regulation. e.

sent in which Justices Murphy and

Rescuers Wade Into River.
Two women have not been iden-
tilted.
Heroic rescue work by eyewitnesses
and motorists, who waded into the
river and climbed atop the two
thirds submerged bus, prevented a
heavier death toll
The first rescuers at the scene
hacked holes into the roof to pull
to safety passengers who were fight
ing for air inside.
The heroism of little Darlene Wick
was credited by survivors with saving
many lives.
They said that amid the panic
inside the partially submerged bus,
the 6-year-old child stood calmly
and In an even voice called direc-
tions to volunteer rescuers cutting
through the top.
She stood there in the aisle, they
said, with the water rising around
her. The help she summoned for
her fellow passengers arrived too
late to save her life. She was
trapped in the wreckage as she at
tempted to free herself and drowned.
The bus driver escaped by kicking
out the windshield, while number
of men got out without assistance
and clung to driftwood in the river
until rescued.
Work In Rain.
Deputy sheriffs, police and State
patrolmen worked in heavy rain
with artificial respiration and pull
motors.
The bus continued on short way
after the collision, then veered to
the left, snapped off a telephone
pole, i1urtled a 15-foot-high bank
and plunged into the river, finally
ending up against pilings 25 feet out,
The front of the bus was crushed
In for about feet. The heavy
vehicle f1oated a minute or two in
the water while those inside fought
10 escape.
An emergency door on one side
popped open and William E. Cum
mings, Spokane youth, worked his
way out.
Soon auto spotlights were flashed
on the wreckage and the rescue
work started. Screams of those in
side could be heard as the rescuers
cut at the roof to reach them.
More than an hour went by be-
fore the bus was brought to the
surface and 1t was determined all
passengers had been removed.
