Red Party Secretary
Succeeds Markos as
Greek Rebels Chief
BY the Assoeioied Press

ATHENS, April 5.-Demetrius
Partsalides, secretary general of
the Communist EAM. is the new
boss OF Greece's warning Commu-
mist guerrillas.
The guerrilla radio broadcast
today an announcement OF a new
government to replace the one
headed by Markos Vafiades, who
was removed in February.
There has been no Official state
ment on the reason for the Markos
resignation, but Western sources
have speculated that he was forced
into retirement because of his op-
position to a Cominform move to
set up an independent Macedonia
from parts of Greece, Bulgaria and
Yugoslavia.
The Communist-proclaimed gov
ernment for Northern Greece has
been operating under the leader
ship of Ioannis Ioannides, who
was Markos' Vice Premier. He
retains that post in the new setup.
Albanians Reported in Battle.
Meanwhile. the Greek defense
coordination council met to
consider charges that Albanians
are assisting Communist rebels in
a fierce battle with Greek Ma
tionalist troops In the Grammos
mountain area.
The Greek general staff accused
the Albanians of provocative and
unconcealed" action in support of
the rebels. The statement alleged
the rebels invaded from Albania,
and that livestock seized by, the
raiders was driven back across the
border onto Albanian soil.
Reinforced Nationalist and rebel
forces still are fighting furiously,
the army announced.
Battle Termed Unprecedented.
Official sources here described
the Grammos mountain area bat
tie as of unprecedented violence
and ferocity." They said 1t may
decide the fate of the new guerrilla
offensive, the largest and most
serious yet attempted by the Com
munist command since Markos
was removed.
The battle is centering around
Mounts Kantzikon and Ghyftissa,
with the Greek national army
stubbornly defending the heights,
the army said. Fresh guerrilla
forces were reported to have
crossed the Jarantaporos River
during the night and to have
Joined in the attack.
The offensive was said to have
begun with a force of 1000 Com
munist fighters whose objective
was the capture of the whole
Northern Pindus range. This would
open up a mountain route which,
from 1946 until last fall, had been
used for bringing in supplies for
the guerrillas from Albania, the
sources said.

Buddy Meyers. 30. said he helped
catch about a dozen patients who
jumped from first and second floor
windows.
1T was just horrible" he said.
Il could hear all those poor people
shrieking for help. but I just
couldn't get to them"
1t was a scene of wild confu-
sion. Sobbing relatives also were
thwarted by the raging flames.
They frantically searched the barn
for their kinfolk.
Jumped From Window.
o. S. Robards, a patient on the
first floor. said a nurse had en-
tered his room to give him a
sedative. When she opened the
door to leave she saw the flame
filled hallway. Both jumped from
the window and were unhurt.
Sister Ella Paul. head Of the
hospitals nursery. said many
babies were discharged yesterday
and "only a few" infants were
in the ward when the fire broke
out.
The hospital was virtually de-
Str0Vod with an h0iIr after the
alarm. despite efforts OF firemen
from Effingham and nine nearby
communities.
The nursery, on the second
floor, was the first ward to be
engulfed in flames.
Some older children were on the
third floor. An 11-year -old boy
recently operated on for heart
ailment. was thrown by his father
from a window. Both escaped
without serious injury.
Early today an emergency hos
pital was set up in the State

Belle Haven Lawyer
Says Hobby Gives
Him q Perspective
By Roy Henry

Washington has many histori-
ans, but probably only one has
his archives well-rooted in the
soil around his home.
When Jacob Reck of suburban
Belle Haven, Va, plants a tree,
he also plants little history. The
tree is set out in the usual
manner, but along with it goes a
time capsule bottle containing
q typewriter digest of recent
news events.
/ So up come tree after tree
Mound Mr.. Reck's home, each one
marking an era of our time.
Mr.. Reck admits that his meth
ods aren't very scientific, but If
they were he says his tree plant
ing wouldn't just be hobby.
He does take his hobby quite
seriously, however. and tells about
the twinges of conscience he gets
over one incident.
One evening on a trip back
from New York he stopped at a
wayside nursery and bought a
shrub. BY the time he arrived
home he was dog tired and it was
almost midnight. However, he
couldn't think of leaving the
shrub implanted until the next
day. With spade and shovel he
went to work. Not until after he
Jumped into bed did he realize he
Had forgotten the time capsule.
To this day he can't look at the
shrub without his conscience
bothering him.
Mr.. Reck started his hobby
about five years ago, when he de-
cided he should do some planning
for the future.
II looked at the world around
me and found most people, includ-
ing myself, rushing from one
crisis to another simply because
they hadn't done much planning
I decided to find hobby that
would add a perspective to things
going on around me. I wanted
something that wouldn't show i'm
mediate results"
He didn't have to look far, for
right across the road from his
front door was a dense thicket.
Why not see what could be done
to clean this area up?
Giving up golf and most other
outside interests, he would go
from his lawyer-lobbyist job for
a large beauty and barber man
ufacturers' association to clearing
undergrowth and accumulated
debris.
Among his gleanings he found
many seedlings that he hesitated
to uproot and allow to die. In
answer to this problem he began
1andscaping his home grounds. At
the bottom Of each tree hole he
would set one of his time cap
sules.
There's plenty of cleaning and
planting to last me during my
lifetime. and I've found the per-
spective I was looking for" he
said.
