u. S. Diplomats Foresee
Trouble From Recognition
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

American diplomatic authorities
predicted yesterday that the new
Communist government" in North
ern Greece will cause trouble if it is
recognized by Communist -domt-
mated Balkan countries.
That might demand an early de-
cision by the State Department on
whether to increase American aid
to Greece, officials said. Otherwise
the guerrillas' announcement was
viewed in the same light as earlier
proclamations that their leader,
Markos Vifiades, had assumed au-
thority in the no-mans land along
the northern frontier of Greece.
Such proclamations, first issued
last April and repeated in Septem-
Der and October, were recorded at
the time by the United States Off
cia1 radio monitoring service.
The latest, however, went step
further in naming Communists as
members of the guerrilla cabinet
and for that reason officials took a
more serious view of it. All those
named as cabinet members were
identified here as Communist Party
members, indicating that the guer-
rillas' efforts to set up popular
front regime, including members ct
other parties, had failed.
Formal recognition of the guer-
rilla state by Yugoslavia, Bulgaria
and Albania-or Soviet Russia
would enable those nations to claim
the sanction of international law
for supplying the rebels with arms.
The question whether to ask Con-
gress for further aid to- Greece, to
augment the s300,000,00O voted last
spring, has been under study at the
State Department for more than a
month.
