not specify the point from which
such an invasion might take place.
Unconfirmed reports said Florina

Yugoslav frontier, were being

The Communist directed news
paper Eleftheria Ehada said a guer-
rilla battle line stretching SOUTH

officially that Gen. Zervas himself
went there to survey the situation.
A I'd Army Corps headquarters
communique said government troops
had come into contact with guer-
rillas in the region Of Kalpaki." This
apparently referred to the engage
ment in which SO. guerrillas were
captured.

army's situation as both pressure
points in the north had improved
considerably" The government,
meanwhile, issued orders to all
travel agencies not to furnish trans
portation out of Greece for any men
in the military classes from 1892 to
1948. This was interpreted to mean
that a new general mobilization
might be contemplated.
British Troops Restricted.
British troops in Athens and
Salonika, have been forbidden to go
outside a 15-mile perimeter OF the
two cities. A British military source
said British officers and men were
not connected in any way with
Greek military operations.

la squadron of British warShips
under Admiral Sir Algernon Willis,
commander of the Mediterranean
fleet, was scheduled to arrive in
Piraeus, Athens port, Saturday.
The newspaper said American naval
contingents. including an aircraft
carrier, might arrive sooner than

in Greece.

Food For Children

That is a grand plan for feeding
starving children of the world which
the United Nations advances with ap.
proval of it's Economic and Socia.
Council. The proposal is for workers
everywhere to contribute one days pay
to a special food relief fund. With sixty
million children hungry, if not actually
starving (and many thousands of
them are), the money thus to be obtain
ed, if every Garner contributes, will be
lone too large.
And, as children cannot be blamed
for their condition, or conditions in the
world, and are the generation that must
take over the burdens of civilization
when this adult generation has passed
on, there is good reason to look with
favor on the plan.
But there is one aspect that would
require careful study and strict super
vision. The administration of such a
fund would present a huge problem, not
only to see that food is economically
purchased but that no single mouthful
goes to the feeding of armies or gov
eminent staffs. This has been done
in the case of UNRRA, with result that
armed forces have waxed fat on foods
intended for Suffprinu civi1;ons T.
should not happen again-certainlv not
IN the case of children.

proposed fund will be administered ex-
