Big Tommy slashed a fourth in

margin of victory.

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Oct. 6.
.-U.D-Russian Vice-Foreign Mi
mister Andrei Vishinsky accused
the United States today of con-
verting Greece into an Ameri-
can military base.
Vishinsky demanded that the
United States and Great Britain
withdraw all troops and in
structors-military and civilian
from Greece, letting the Greek
people work out their own fate.
Vishinsky in his first full-dress
statement on the Balkans, pro-
tested that the Anglo-Amreican
case against Greece's Northern
neighbors was based on testi-
mony that was ridiculous, alb
surd, rotten and lying. He spoke
as nine European Communist
parties banded together for the
specific purpose of fighting Am
erican foreign policy in Greece
and elsewhere.
Vishinsky said Soviet-dominat-
ed Yugoslavia, Albania and Bull
garia consistently had shown
peaceful intentions toward
Greece. But, he protested,
Greece has had aggressive de-
signs on her Northern neighbors
and went before the Paris Peace
conference to demand nearly
