this time. However, the fact that the Marines took
along full combat equipment, including fame
throwerS, guns jeeps and trucks-equipment not
needed nor wanted aboard carrier or cruisers
was considered significant. The Navy said that no
decision had been made to whether the two
transports would remain in the Mediterranean area.
Dispatches from Athens reported that the Greek
reaction was one Of satisfaction. Persons in high
position reported to have said that If the de-
cision to give the Greek military additional funds
had been taken earlier the country would be more
secure today and reconstruction might have been
furthered The development OF plans for large
scale Greek Army offensive was indicated strongly
by the State Department here. The transfer action
the department said, will free the Greek National
Army from static defense tasks for mobile opera
tions against the guerrilas"
Meanwhile, the United States Army announced
that 40 additional officers left this week to join the
augmented military mission in Greece At present
ST officers and "a enlisted men compose the mission
which the Army announced several weeks ago would
be increased. The remainder of the additional Army
personnel will leave during January and February,
bringing the total to 2o5 officers and men.
No Restriction on Advice
In that connection it is interesting to note that
Mai Gen. William G. Livesay chief Of the United
States military mission to Greece, made hurried
trip to Washington within the last week for con-
ferences at the Pentagon and State Department.
The Army is now furnishing military advice to
the Greek Army stats down to the division level.
spokesman at the Pentagon stressed that the
mission has no command functions within the
Greek Army However, there is no restriction
on the kind OF advice they give the Greeks" he
said, adding that Congress has not authorized the
sending of combat troops to that country.
AS of November 80, a total of 10000 tons of
equipment and supplies under the aid program ac-
tualy had reached Greek ports and $36000,000
worth had been bought and shipped as Of Decem-
Der 81. AS of the same date, additional purchases
on order aggregated $34,O00000.
Approximately third of the military aid given
the Greek Army has been food and clothing,

Several moves during the last week emphasized
the difficult situation in Greece and were taken
by some observers as attempts by United States
diplomacy to stave off formal Soviet and satellite

simultaneously, the Navy ordered Vice Admiral

More Funds for Greek Army
A day later, the Government quietly transferred
an additional $l5y000,000 of the Greek aid funds
from the economic" or civilian side of the program
to the Greek Army and National Guard The trans
fer, announced in Athens, brought to 173,0o0,ooo
the amount to be spent to bolster the Greek
military.
The latest development was an announcement
from Athens that the United States Mediterranean
Fleet had started maneuvers during which warships
and planes may carry out battle exercises within
sight of strife-ridden Greece. This concided with
the disclosure here that the United States was
transferring to Greece's neighbour, Turkey, four
submarines and II other vessels. - @@@7>e
While the Navy maintained that the dispatch

three cruisers now in Greek and italian ports,
it is the customary tactic in such situations to
pretend that the operation is routine and to let
foreign countries draw their own conclusions.
U. S. Military Mission Strengthened
Similarly, the State Department termed the
transfer of additional funds to the Greek military
as mot too significant, since estimates of needs
change as necessary"sA spokesman pointed out
that previously additional 100000 had been
transferred some months ago. The newest alloca-
ton will allow the Greek forces to be increased

Chief Justice Groner Weighs Personal Decision

known as a Woodworking member
of the bench and those qualities of
fairness and impartiality again made
themselves felt in many a clearly
written decision.
President Roosevelt elevated him
to the post of chief justice of the
court and he took Office January IS,
1898. His patience, mature judg-
ment and capacity for conference
work brought him to the fore.
And the wide scope of jurisdiction
of the Appeals Court gave ample
play for his intellect. For to this
tribunal come not only the regular
cases from District Court, but prob
lens from the National Labor Rela-
tons Board, the Civil Aeronautics
Board, the Federal Power Commits
sion, the Tax Court of the United
States, the Wage and Hour Division
of the Labor Department and the
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion, among others. To this tribunal
the Secretary of the Treasury brings
his litigation over customhouse
brokers licenses and among other
cases considered are these affecting
tolls on bridges spanning navigable
waters.
This court and the cases thai
come before it are truly important,
for it is national in character.
Among the varied causes taken to
1t for adjudication are appeals re-
garding radio station licenses from
the Federal Communications Com
mission.
Passion for Justice
Chief Justice Groner has served
on the tribunal in a period when the
National Government was expand
ing, when new laws and new prob
lens were the order of the day.
It is singularly fitting that the
circuit justice of the Supreme Court
who has particular jurisdiction over
the United States Court Of Appeals
here should be its one-time illus
trious member-Chief Justice Vim
son.

Groner was a member of the Viz
ginia State Council Of Defense. In
the recent war he was chairman Of

Chief Justice Duncan Lawrence
Groner of the United States Court
of Appeals here may soon be writ
ing his most momentous personal
decision-his desire to retire from
the bench.
He has announced that he is con-
sidering retirement, because Of
health, but no date has been set.
Behind him stretches an unusu-
ally illustrious career For his life
embodies real democracy in the jul
dietary. He has successfully been
an active practicing lawyer, United
States attorney, Federal district
judge, a jurist on the United States
Court of Appeals here and more
latterly its presiding officer.
And 1t is remarkable that under
his chief justiceship two of his COL
leagues on the bench have been
raised to the Supreme Court of the
United States. One is Chief Justice
Fred M. Vinson. The other is Asso-
ciate Justice Wiley Rutledge. Both
are warm personal friends of Chief
Justice Groner.
Has Deft Human Touch
Tall, lean and bald, Chief Justice
Groner speaks with elaboration. His
words are well chosen and he has
a pre-eminent command of English.
No legal recluse, he has fought be-
fore the committees of Congress for
an adequate Federal courthouse for
Washington. In the judicial con-
ferences, he has invited exploration
of various phases of the law and the
public's contact with it. With
deft human touch, he has conducted
these meetings, sparkle Of wit
here and there, and the mantle of
the responsibility of the lawyer cast
over the gathering.
A Republican. Chief Justice Gro
ner is hailed even by Democrats as
a great jurist. And the best testi-
monial of that was when the late
President Franklin D. Roosevelt ele-
waited him to be chief justice Of the
Court of Appeals in January, 1888.
Learned in the law, mature in
wisdom. ripe in experience, for he
has known what it is to earn dollar
in the hard practice Of law, he brings
to mind the real old time jurist.

Chief Justice Groner was born in

It is probable that when Mr..
Wallace threw his hat into the ring
he was not doing so in any effort
to help the Kremlin in its plans for
this country. Whether some of his
intimate advisers acted on "sug-
gestions" from Moscow is an en-
tirely different question.
The unconcealed enthusiasm of
Russian propagandists for Mr.. Wal
lace as the future President of the
United States leaves no doubt, how
ever, that the former Vice President
is considered natural by Moscow.
For more than a year Soviet in
telligence agents have devoted their
main activities to study of Amer
ica's economic structure in the hope
of finding some definite indication
of the point where an economic
catastrophe may overtake this
country
The defeats suffered by Moscow's
agents in their efforts to promote
political strikes in major American
industries have not discouraged the
Soviet rulers. They feel certain that
in a country where free enterprise
survives great economic crises must
eventually occur.
Prefer Infiltration
Russian statisticians-as is evident
from reading the Soviet press and
hearing Soviet broadcasts-have
informed their superiors that such
crises are always the sequel of major
wars. Since World War II has
produced greater economic disloca-
ton than ever before in history, the
United States-the only remaining
belligerent which retains q SEM
blance of organized economy-is
doomed to an economic crisis which
will provide communism with its
best opportunity to perform thor
ough social and economic change
in this country, the Russian experts
think. ''@
Our military unpreparedness
should encourage the Soviet rulers
to put into effect their great expan-
sionist plans. Yet they hesitate tt
attack us frontally and prefer TO use
methods of infiltration into Western
Europe, the Near and Middle East
