Greek Drive Builds Up.
Near YugosIav Border
BY fhs Assoeiotsd Press

ATHENS, Aug. 27.-Press dis
patches today said Greek Of
fensive in the Mount Kaimaktcha-
Ian area along the Yugoslav border
is building up favorably.
National planes were reported
strafing and bombing rebel posi-
tions there. A communique said
Greek forces had captured impor-
tant heights. The mountain lies
athwart the Greek -Yusoslav border,
northwest of Ss1onika. Greek Army
forces there have opened a new Of
fensive against 300 to 1000 rebels.
War Minister George Stratos said
last night that 50-man Bulgarian
unit invaded Greece last week, fired
on Greek forces then pulled back
into Bulgaria.
Mr.. Stratos told newsmen that
Greek soldiers are under orders not
to return fire from neighboring
countries while diplomats are trying
to clear up conflicting claims of
border invasions.
The Moscow radio last night
quoted the Albanian news agency as
saying Greek artillery at Alevits
lobbed 100 shells into Albania Sum
day. A Tass dispatch from Tirana
quoted the Albanian agency as say
ing the Greeks also machine-gunned
and made three flights over Albanian
terrain.

7 Quit Peruvian Cabinet;
Riqhtist Coalition Seen
BY the Asseeietsd Press

LIMA, Peru. Aug. 27.-Two Peruv-
ian cabinet ministers resigned yes
terday in what some political OBJ
servers viewed as a step toward a
coalition of Richtist elements.
Finance Minister Manuel Llosa
and Gen. Hector Martinez, war min
lister, quit. Brig. Gen. Oscar M.
Torres took the war post and Ro-
mulo Ferrero, former agriculture
minister, was given Llosa's post. To
complete the shufile the Agriculture
Ministry went to Carlos Alzamora.
Authoritative sources here viewed
Llosa as the key figure in the
changes. There was speculation
that he stepped out of the cabinet
to take q prominent role in a new
rightist political force. This new
political organization apparently
with the support OF President Jose
Luis Bustamante Rivero - would
align in q single front the rightest
elements.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. Aug. ~
AS New Haven's temperature rose
Yesterday to 81. highest in II years,
the fire department had to cool of
bridge.
A steel drawbridge, carrying U.
S. Route No. l traffic over an arm
Of New Haven HarboE 50 expanded
from the heat, estimated close to
10 at that point, that 1t wouldn't
close after 1t had been opened.
A fire boat cooled the steel with
hose lines until the bridge sections
shrank enough to close.
