areas as the Peloponnesus, where
the followers Of Markos Vafiades
are growing in numbers.
The Greek Army and the Greek
people are becoming war weary
after 8 years of unbelievable hard
ship In resisting the Axis, suffering
Nazi occupation and finally fighting
q. deadly civil war.
End Seen Approaching.
It is true that if the United
States had not extended helping
hand in 1947 Greece would have
been behind the Iron Curtain today.
Our intervention permitted its
government to resist the Soviet on
slaught, but it looks now like the
end is approaching.
In the north the Greek armies
obtained some successes last sum-
mer, but they were more spec
tacular than real. A large Com
munist force was reported destroyed
and strategic positions captured.
But the guerrilla forces appear in
exhaustible.
From Albania, Yugoslavia and
Bulgaria fresh units, fully equipped
appeared in Greece after the VIC
tories Of the royal armies. They
have never been in large numbers
Just enough to maintain continu-
GUS force of about 25,000 men on a
war footing.
The governments units have to
be replenished with men drafted
from the country itself, and the
reservoir of manpower is beginning
to run low. The Greek people, who
underwent real hardship through
out the war and since, now have
only a limited number of men avail
able for the armed services.
Moreover, the people themselves
are firing of the fighting, especially
since they cannot see when this
interminable battle will end. They

Olin Johnston, and Gov. ]. Strom
Thurmond, Dixiecrat candidate for
President. Mr.. Byrnes now prac-
tices law in his native Spartan
burg with occasional forays into
Washington.
The administration hopes that
both Messrs. Johnston and Thur
mond lose in 1850 but it Is recog-
nized that both won't unless an
alternative is offered, hence the
Byrnes' proposals.
Prediction Conniving.
Both the Senator and Governor
are already deeply involved in pre-
election conniving. The Senator
appears to have a little the better
of it at the moment, largely be-
cause, with an agility that would
make an electric eel seem apathetic,
he has been sliding in and out Of
the party at strategic and photo
genie moments. The result has
confused some Democrats, though
it is noticeable that both Presi-
dent Truman and National Chair
man McGrath have managed to
moderate their transports over the
Senator's present heavy loyalty.
Gov. Thurmond, however, knows
exactly where he stands with
Washington. An administration
inspired regular" committee has
been established in South Carolina
and the Truman blessing personally
impaired to it by Speaker-prospec-
tive Rayburn. Chairman McGrath
has announced that the national
committee recognizes its State
chairman and the national commit
teeman it named to replace Gov.
Thurmond in that post.
1t has proved a little more diff
cult to peg the slippery Senator
Johnston who has been described as
the first to leave the President and
the first to return.

1T seems to me that if the letters
little Nancy has gotten since her
broadcast could in some way be
distilled, they would say: I like
America. I want to go to America.
We must learn English to have
understanding. Please tell me about
America. I want American friends "
Here are some direct quotations
from the letters. I hope that in
reading them you will sense the
great responsibility America has as
sumed in shaping the lives Of the
citizens of foreign country.

and Morton Bodfish's group OF
home financing institutions. Which
of these did most to prevent the
passage of the Taft-Ellender-Wag-
ner bill would be hard to say, but
the Association of Home Builders
hasn't ben modest about its share
in that dubious enterprise. And 1t
is now getting set for the bigger
battle ahead.
It won't have Representative
Jesse Wolcott, Republican, Of Michi-
gan sitting on the lid as chairman
Of the House Banking and Cur
rency Committee or Representative
Leo Allen, Republican, of Illinois
blocking legislation as chairman OF
the Rules Committee. 1t won't have
Speaker Martin and Majority Leader
Halleck backing up these committee
chairmen. Even with such power
full assistance, however, the defeat
of the T-E-W bill was no mean
feat, considering that Senate Leader
Taft was one of the authors and
had put it through the Senate with
considerable ease. There were al
ways enough votes in the House to
pass it If a vote could have been
obtained.
Inkling Of Tactics.
How the real estate lobby will
meet the new situation, with the
House leaders friendly to housing
legislation, remains to be seen. But
an inkling Of the tactics that may
be employed is given by a letter
sent since the election to members
of the Association of Home Build
ers by Frank w. Cortwright. execu-
tive vice president. The letter lists
"the things affecting housing di-
rectly and indirectly" which the
President has said he will demand
from Congress. AS presented by
Mr.. Cartwright these things are:

from 40 to IS, rs cents and even as
much as 81 per hour will be sug-

read fiamboyant official commune
uues about every success Of their
regular armies. Then they learn
that the guerrillas have made their
appearance again and the govern
ment orders new draftees to report
for duty. The farmers cannot cul-
tivate their fields for fear that
guerrilla bands will swoop down on
their villages, pillage them and cap
ture the young people.
Neither the Greek high command
nor the American military mission
really can be blamed for this situa-
tion. They are doing their best, but
are faced with the enemy's ability
to maintain its forces constantly at
par, thanks to the support of the
Soviet satellites, while the Greek
Army must draw on its limited sup
plies.
1t may be that the plan presented
last summer in Washington by the
leader of the Greek Nationalist
forces, Gen. Napoleon Zervas, may
have been a more practical approach
than that adopted by the Greek
American general staff in Athens.
Gen. Zervas suggested that instead
of giving battle to the Communists,
according to established military
practice, and sending large forces to
capture strategic centers, the Greek
Army should shift to guerrilla tao
tics itself and fight the Communists
in small groups.
War With Gloves On.
Gen. ZervaS, who himself has been
guerrilla leader on the anti-Com-
munist side, maintains that it was
foolish for Greece and her helpers
to fight this war with gloves on.
Government "guerrillas," he said.
could exploit any success by follow
ing the enemy across the borders.
The government itself, he said,
could adopt the same tactics as the
satellite countries and disclaim any
connection with anti-Communist
bands which might violate interna-
tional law. They might even go so
far as to pretend to Investigate
and punish" the culprits. He main
tanned that giving the Communists
q taste Of their own medicine might
have greater results than the pres
ent law-abiding campaign.
The plan was not sanctioned in
Washington, however, because of the
implication that we would be deal
ing from . marked deck. He was
told that this was not American
practice.
War-weariness now has extended
from the armed forces to the popu-
lation itself, which has begun to feel
that by submitting to the inevitable
the hardships would not be much
worse than they now are. Many
heads might roll in Athens and
other cities, but the bulk Of citizens
at least would not be compelled to
fight any longer.

BvrneS' Return Likely
Administration Plans to Rehabilitate
South Carolina in Democratic Family

Jackson dinner, strategically planted
almost in front Of the President s
nose. Mrs. Johnston had served on
the dinner committee and was
awarded one of the best tables in
the house. Following the Truman
civil rights message, the Johnstons
were not content to cancel their
reservations, they planted a friend
at the empty table who refused to
let . waiter clear 1t or any one
else sit at it.
Called Direct Insult.
The President, perhaps then at
the lowest ebb of his fortunes. was
forced to see 1t throughout the eve
ming. Probably. no more direct in
suit to the Presidency and to a
President as leader of his party was
ever offered.
But after November 2, the Senator
elbowed his way to the forefront of
the welcome home crowds at Union
Station and appropriated . seat
in an ofacial car well up in the
parade. Then he discussed with
the press why he voted for the
Truman -Barkley ticket. That proved
to be a slight overstatement; it
seems he didn't cast his vote after
all, it rained and he got there just
too late or some other weather &C
cident over which-natch-he had
no control.
This proved too much for Mrs.
Roosevelt even in Paris amid her
United Nations distractions. Under
lings at the National committee
said she was mistaken in her at
tack on the Senator-they didn't t
make the evidence quite clear-but
Chairman McGrath kept mum
What Chairman McGrath can re-
member also, though they did not
always make the newspapers, were
the Johnston gibes at the President
on the hill, which were constant,
rude and belittling.
But the South Carolina situation
is fluid, Gov. Thurmond is indelibly
a DXiecrat and Senator Johnston
has reputedly proved himself an
adept politician.
It Is hoped here that Mr.. Byrnes
might be homesick for Washington
and those cloakrooms where he op-
Grated with fabulous finesse and
good humor for so many years. His
health, which he gave as the reason
for resigning as Secretary Of State,
is now excellent.
