Sfassen Says Arrning
OF Greek Regime vii
Be Tragic Mistake
Supports U. S. Aid Plan,
But Terms Trumun's
Doctrine Negative

Harold e. Stassen, although
saying he favors the $400, ,o00, 900
Greek Turkish aid program, de-
.clared today 1t would be a
tragic" mistake for the United
States to arm an all-out often
sive against guerrilla opponents
of the present Greek govern
ment.
At a news conference, the former
Minnesota Governor also termed
the general doctrine back of Presi-
dent Trunaan's policy a negative one.
Mr.. Stassen, who last month was
assured by Prime Minister Stain
that Russia wants to cooperate with
the United States, also told report
ers that only time can answer the
question Of the significance of Mr.
Stains assurances.
He said he intends to continue to
study Soviet actions and does not
think a fair impression of the inter-
national situation can be gained
from one statement
Optimistic on Future.
His words seemed to indicate he
does not disagree with numerous
Senators who have called on Russia
to back up Stalin's promises with
action.
Mr., Stassen, recently returned
from a tour of Europe, said he is
Optimistic we can win peace for at
least full generation"
He added. IT returned from this
journey with a renewed determina-
ton to do everything possible to
maintain just and lasting peace
for the world"
In discussing the Greek Turkish
aid program, Mr. Stassen said he
indorses it in the form approved by
the Senate, but hopes that military
expenditures will not be such as to
bring about a full scale civil war in
Greece.
Instead, he said, the United States
should concentrate on attempting to
build stable and prosperous regime
