British Still in Greece,
|Izvestia Complains
By tho Assoejofed Press

MOSCOW, April 5.-The news
paper Izvestia asserted today that
British troops had not left Greece
yet and that "the British military
mission is still giving instructions
to Greek ministers"
r. NORM, the writer, said this sit
uation was causing considerable
puzzlement among Greek command
ers, who were worrying over the
contemplated presence of two mill
tary missions in Greece-American
and British.
con March 81 government
sources in London said Britain
would continue some economic
and military assistance to Greece
until aid from the United States
became effectively
Mr.. NORM quoted a Greek Gen.
Merentidis as complaining about
British practices and their absurd
interference into questions concern
ing the personnel of the army"
"Merentidis Is trying in vain.
With his old and new bosses he was
and will remain merely an executor
of other wills" said the writer.
LONDON, April R.-A Foreign
Office spokesman, commenting on
an Izvestia report that British off,
GERS are directing Greek Army ac-
tivities, said today that a small
British military mission will remain
in Greece for some time to advise
Greek troops guarding the nation S
northern border.
But Great Britain's military pol
icy in Greece, openly announced
and thoroughly discussed, will be
carried out" the spokesman said.

Young, Bowman Seek
RIGHT 10 Sif on Board
|0f New York Central
IN fhe Asaeeieted Prsss

Robert ]. Bowman. president. and
Robert r. Young, board chairman
OF the Chesapeake 81 Ohio Rail-
road, yesterday asked authority Of
the Interstate Commerce C0mmis-
sion to sit on the board Of the
New York Central Railroad
The two have been invited By
New York Central to take the places.
Interstate Commerce Commission
approval is required for holding di-
rectorships on more than one car
rier.
The IcC said the G. q O
and New York Central lines
are essentially complementary to
each other" Each serves q differ-
ent part Of the Eastern territory
and, the petition said, "the oppor-
tunities for effective competition
between them is relatively limited :
Mr.. Bowman and Mr.. Young listed
their individual stock ownership Ia
New York Central at 200 common
shares each, and said the Chesa-
peake A Ohio line was "the bene-
fetal owner Of 100000 shares or So
per cent Of the total outstanding
capital stock Of New York Central.
Mr.. Young, who now controls the
G. g. o., Nickel Plate and Pere Mar
quette Railroads through the Ale-
gheny Corp, a holding company,
indicated in his petition that he
intended to obtain control Of New
York Central. He gave notice that
in that event he was ready to divest
himself Of the Nickel Plate.
New York Central and Nickel
Plate operate in competitive terri
tory, and Mr.. Young said recently
that negotiations were under way
for Nickel Plates acquisition by the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
Apparently, as q preliminary to
these moves, Chesapeake 81 Ohio,
an Allegheny corporation. asked the
ICC today to permit some rear
rangement Of the voting trust which
the ICC required Allegheny to set
up several years ago with the Chase
National Bank OF New York. Under
that requirement Allegheny must
deposit with the bank stocks in rail-
roads other than those directly con-
trolled.
The bank exercises the voting
privileges.
The petition asked authority to
withdraw the New York Central
stock owned by c. & o. from the
voting trust and substitute Nickel
Plate stock for it. c. g. o. owns 81
per cent of the Nickel Plate stock.
