Fresh Start in Greece
Cincinnati Enuuirerl

Cincinnati Enquirer
 No doubt Moscow critics will find in the new Greek cabinet evidence of hgh-handed American intervention in the internal affairs of Greece Whether they make point of this not, it is clear that the formation of coalition cabinet at Athens under the leadership of 97-year- -od Themstoces Sophouis is forward step in restoring civil peace
 American intervention" consisted of the tactful, efforts of Loy Henderson, chief of the Far Eastern Division of the State Department. For evil dently it Henderson who induced the mutually dstrustfu party leaders of Greece to form coalition government and broaden the popular base of the regime
 The Sophoulis appointment well received in Athens. It brings into the government the Liberal Party, with its considerable popular following And, important of all it does away with the accusation that Greece solely in the hands of ultraconsera tive, monarchist faction
 The new Premiers first move was to propose a general amnesty for guerrillas who ready to lay down their arms. However large or meager the re- sponse to this the atmosphere is clearing There is hope for pacificaon of the whole country, with a minimum of fighting. And once order is fully restored the way will be to greatly accelerated reconstruction work with the funds made available from the United States.
 It is too early to say with certainty the Greeks have their worst troubles behind them. But at least the outlook is immensely improved over that of a fortnight ago. If this is the product of American interference" it is brand of interference that the great bulk of the Greek people are likely to welcome and not resent.

Pugnacious Sen. Homer Ferguson doesn't seem to mind asking for punishment. Unrelenting as a bulldog once he sinks his teeth in a Senatorial probe, the shaggy maned Michigan Republican re- gently proclaimed that he would go through with his original plans for the Howard Hughes hearings in November. Well-wishing friends, remembering how the first probe had backfired, tried to persuade him against it.

cupation costs in Germany.
 It is already known that the British have served notice they will need help in financing their zone in Germany. But what is not known is that the State De- partment presented an array of figures in the secret session show ing that the British are better off than generally realized.
 Though the British are short of dollars, they are not short of sterling and many German occu- patton costs can be paid out of sterling. British industries, in- cluding coal and utilities, actually are above pre-war production, the tate Department told Senator's Box-car loadings have also sur passed pre-War standards.
 It was also revealed that the British employ 18,0OO civilians to nun ttair part of Germany, while Ere United States employs only 5000
 i TfHse figures were one reason for the unanimous opinion of the Senate Appropriations Committee that if We have to shoulder part of Britain's occupation costs, we in turn must get share in fixing British policy.
 On this, Secretary of the Army Kenneth Royal, who inspired the special committee meeting, em- phatically agreed.
 i If we pay Britain's bill" he said, we must insist on a voice in the government of her zone proportionate to our contribution. D
 Only member of the Appropria- tions Committee to express mis- givings was Leverett Saltonstall, sincere Senator from Massachusetts. He was worried over the United States being left to face Russia alone in Germany.
 Holding an editorial from a Boston newspaper, the emaciated New Englander also asked why Britain should be allowed to pull out of Germany while pouring money into Palestine.
