Greek Army Declares
RebeIsHayeIncreased
Since Civil War Began
By the Asseeiuisd Press


ATHENS, Oct. There are more
Communist rebels in Greece today
than there were when the civil war
broke out early in 1916.
Despite recent successes of gov
ernment troops against the guer-
rillas of Markos Vafiades, the latest
general staff estimate fixes rebel
strength at more than 10000.
This is q couple of thousand
greater than before recent national
victories in the Grammos and Vitsi
areas.
The army has eliminated about
IS 900 rebels in two years, about
900 of them in the last two months.
But where does this get us?"
Greek military men ask.
Ferreting out guerrillaS from the
craggy mountains of Northern
Greece is difficult at best. The
rebels fit here and there, raiding
villages and carrying off forced re-
cruits to swell their battle -thinned
ranks.
After their spectacular successes
in the rugged Grammos Mountains,
government forces were rushed to
the Vitsi area, where Vafiades re-
appeared after government officials
said he had crossed into Albania.
The national forces reported some
successes in the new offensive, but
last week Vafiades began an ambi-
tious counteroffensive, attempting
to take the lakeside city of Kas-
toria.
Today's government communique
said the Communists fired about 10
artillery shells into Kastoria yester-
day from a point about miles
northeast of the city.
Kastoria is the headquarters of
Greek military operations in the
Vitsi triangle, near the juncture of
the Greek, Albanian and Yugoslav
borders.
The Greeks blame their northern
neighbors for the fresh fighters
under Vafiades' command. They
charge Albania, Yugoslavia and Bull
garia with helping to train and equip
the rebels who cross the Greek bor-
der freely to attack government
forces.
The United Nations Special Com
fnittee on the Balkans has confirmed
these indictments. But the Eastern
bloc has boycotted the commission
and the northern neighbors of
Greece have denied they aid the
guerrillas.
| The United States has furnished
planes, guns, ammunition and mules
and given military advice on press
ing the offensive against the Com
munists. The government is now
preparing request for additional
American assistance in order to al
most double the Greek Army.

Talks With Reds Now
On Quitting Korea

The United States sees no point
in talking with Russia about with
drawal of occupation forces from
Korea.
This was made clear in an
extraordinarily brief note to Moscow

The note emphasized that troop
withdrawal is part of the larger
question of Korean unity and in

American views will be presented

What is not to be expected is
that Anita turns out to be corking
executive. Even when you are an
old friend-she's a home town girl,
Anita Counihan, remember - and
there are a lot of personal things to
talk about, she keeps bringing in
Paramount's business.

says.

on the other end of the telephone.
After you see the doctor, If he
says it's all right. we'll have lunch
con. And. after luncheon, with you
as our guest, We'll get back to Para
mount"
The drama department and its
wife are pretty firm about this. So
is the doctor, but after treating
Miss Colby he not only permits her
to come to luncheon, he returns her
personally.
Miss Colby returns not merely to
luncheon, but to business-Para-

project, and the studios, is getting

Crosby and Joan Fontaine.
