ATHENS, Greece, Aug. 75.-
King Paul watched the Greek
army step up its offensive against
the lone renal Ing guerrilla
stronghold In Greece's nort1land
today. "
The King watched from q for
ward observation post In the
Granmos mountain area near the
Albania border
The Press Ministry announced
that American-supplied Navy
Helldivers were used for the first
time in the Greek civil war. The
Greek army also used recoilless
American Model IS and 105-mm.
rifles.
A communique said several
heights were captured. Between
1000 and 5000 guerrillas are be-
lieved in the Grammos pocket, an
area of $50 square miles. The
offensive officially started three
weeks ago. but was slowed to q
walk while the army blitzed the
adjoining Vitsi area in four days.
The guerrilla area forms a
rough triangle on the Albanian
border north of Konitsa. The
army is believed to be using four
divisions and 5000 commandos in
the offensive.
Meanwhile, a Foreign Min
istry spokesman said the Com
munist-led Albanian government
had shipped 1000 persons OF
Greek descent from Southern AL
bania to Romania. He said the
government will protest to the
United Nations.
Greece has long claimed the
Southern Albanian region, which
she calls Northern Epirus. The
reported transfer of Greek-speak-
ing people from the area was
interpreted as an Albanian move
to weaken Greek demands for
union of Northern Epirus with
the neighboring Greek province
of Epirus.
The Foreign Ministry spokes-
man said the mass transfer was
carried out by the Romanian
motor ship Transylvania, which
runs regularly from Black Sea
ports to Albania. The evicted
Greeks were reported landed at
the Romanian port Of Constanta

1914 S|ovak Uprising
BY the Associated Press

PRAGUE, CzechoSlovakia, Aug
Is. Czechoslovak Communists
charged today that the Americans
and British sabotaged the 'Sloval
uprising against the Germans ir
1914 in order to keep the Russian
army from advancing into West
|ern Europe. :
These allegations were made in
the press In advance Of . big
three-day celebration beginning
Saturday to mark the fifth ami
versary Of this uprising.
The tone of the articles indi-
Gated the celebration. in which
Communist President Klement
Gottwald will be the chief speak
er. will feature attacks on the
West. The announced slogan for
the celebration is Forward With
the Soviet Union"
Pravda. organ Of the Slovak
Communist Party, claimed the up
rising was led by the Communists
by arrangement with the advanc-
ing Soviet army. It asserted that
the Soviets supported the revolt
by parachuting to the partisans
all kinds Of weapons and ammu-
nition."
Pravda contended the Ameri-
cans and British and the wartime
Czech government-in-exile il
London hindered rather than
helped the partisans.
THE Anglo-American air forces
Made no bombing raids on milf
tary objectives or the German
lines during the uprising, although
they had been supplied with de-
tailed maps and requests for raids
on specified targets.
There was one exception. This
was a successful attack by Amer
lean flyers on Dubova, In which
they wrecked all the gasoline
tanks which had been prepared
to supply the partisans. This was
done in spite Of the fact that the
London exile. government was
asked long in advance to advise
Western forces not to lombard
this place."
The newspaper Lidove Noviny
claimed that another reason for
the alleged Anglo-American nom
cooperation was "the fact that
the Slovak uprising was led by the
Communist Party"

Tito Has Reached Heights
OF Perfidy, Russians Say

MOSCOW, Aug. Is P1.-Ihe
Soviet publication New Times de-
clared last night that Premier
Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia has
reached "Herculean pillars OF
treachery and perfidy."
The Soviet foreign affairs week
" devoted its lead editorial to
comment on the note sent by the
Soviet Union to the Yugoslav
government protesting the arrests
Of Soviet citizens.
apparently New Times made
no mention Of Tito's reply to
the Soviet note. Yugoslavia
said it was prepared to reach a
settlement with the Russians on
"all disputed questions" be-
tween the two countries.)
New Times said there were few
diplomatic documents in recent
times which had such Immense
international significance" as the
notes sent by the Russians to
Marshal Tito August II and Au-
gust 18.
The August II note described
Yugoslavia as an enemy of the
Soviet Union. The one q week
later declared Russia's intention
to take more effective measures"
TO safeguard Soviet citizens in

any part in a purported plot to
carve up little neighboring Albania
under an agreement by which 1t
would acquire part Of the terri
tory with the balance going to
Greece.
In a statement issued through
the Ministry of Information, Mar
shall Tito's government said 1t
wanted no part Of Albania's terri
tory and that on the contrary,
1t has protected Albania's interests
in the past in international affairs.
The statement was issued in re-
sponse to q note of protest de-
livered about supposed provoca-
tions" by Yugoslav border patrols
on Albania's northern boundary.
The Yugoslav statement fatty
denied these charges. It said the
border incidents have been the re-
suit Of Albania's attempt to stir up
trouble at the direction of the
Russian-dominated Cominform.
Provocations Condemned.
Yugoslavia condemned the mon
archo-fascist provocations and all
attempts to introduce uncertainty
and unrest in this part of Europe,
as we'll as all attempts at inter-
ference in Albania's internal
affairs"
In this way" the statement
added. "Yugoslavia Is showing
that in her relations with neigh
boring countries she is governed
by principles which we're trampled
on by the initiators of the SLAM
derous hue and cry against Yugo-
slavia."
This was q direct reference to
the Cominform's anti-Tito cam
paign and perhaps a bid for sup
port among Yugoslavia's neigh
bors in its own counter campaign
for equal rights among all Com
munist countries.
The statement added: while
trying to put the blame for the
situation in Albania upon Yugo-
slavia and lying about Yugosla-
Was plans for a division OF
Albania, it only goes to show that
the Cominform leaders are them
selves nurturing similar chauvin-
|istic designs for various kinds OF
divisions and spheres Of interests
especially in relation to Yugo-
slavia."
The air force and the future
leaders OF Yugoslavia's best army
units yesterday pledged to fight
against any aggression.
There seemed little likelihood
that this tough little country's
offer to settle her row with Russia
over Communist politics would
ease the tension soon.
Foreign observers believed the
feud had gone too far and too
deep, particularly since Yugo-
slavia had clearly stated she Is
not going to climb down from her
position of independence from
Moscow in domestic. and foreign
"A letter to Premier Marshal
Tito from the air force declared:
Conscious of the situation we are
in, we are prepared to defend our
Socialist homeland against any
one-no matter from which side
| it comes"
| Another message, TO- the Moscow
trained guerrilla chieftain who be-
came the defiant leader OF the
nation was from the school Of the
Corps for National Defense, where
leaders of crack army units are
given military and political train
ing.
In the world has appeared a
new fortress of socialism and
peace, Yugoslavia. which Is nov
being attacked. We are proud to
be members Of the Yugoslav Com
munist Party and we shall be
ready to defend our homeland, no
matter from whom, under your

the cease-f1re that stopped fight-

Most Of the Darul Islam activity
