BY the Associated Press

ATHENS, Feb. 8.-John loan
hides, former chief of the Com
munist underground squads in
Greece, has been named tempo
rary president of the guerrilla
government. This was reported
today by the Greek Army, on the
basis of a rebel radio broadcast.
Ioannides replaces Markos Va
fades. who proclaimed and headed
the Communist government OF
Free Greece" A Greek Army
spokesman said Friday that Mar
kos was believed to have been
executed by the rebels for failing
to conquer Greece.
The broadcast issued state
ment attributed to Markos, giving
his reasons for resigning the pres
idency and command of the rebel
forces. He was quoted as saying:
"The state of my health after
the Grammos campaign has been
deterioting steadily and did not
permit me to respond to my seri-
GUS and difficult duties. This is
compelling me to resign office as
president of the provisional demo-
cratic government. all my other
duties and command Of the demo-
cratic army"
Another announcement said
Ioannides had been named vice
president and acting president un-
til "a definite solution is found" ="

Der, 1947. that Ioannides had been
named deputy premier and in
terror minister of the Communist
government.

Carolinian said the policy would
not take anything away from cur
rent civil service retirement and
survivorship annuity BENEFITS.
Government employees would pay
for the policy at the rate OF so
cents per month for every $1,000
a year they earn. The Govern
ment would pay the rest.
Mr.. Redden. strong admins
tration supporter, said the cost to
the Government would only be
Sc, 10000 year. He said the cost
estimate was prepared by the
sctuary of one of the country's
largest insurance companies.
He added that the program
would have to be undertaken by a
private insurance company, with
the Government choosing the one
that offered the most attractive
and economical features.
Many firms in private industry
provide their employees with group
life insurance policies" MIR. Red
den said, "and with smaller con-
tributions on the employees part
than I am proposing here. So the
least we can do for the Govern
ment's employees is give them some
sort of protection for their loved
ones"
Here is a sample case that would
operate under Mr.. Redden's pro-
posal. An employe earning $4,000
a year would pay $l.S0 a month
premium on the policy. If he or
she died while in the Federal
service, the beneficiary would re-
ceive $4,000.
Whether employees who leave
the Government would have the
right to withdraw some OF their
or to continue the policy
by paying a little more money,
would have to be determined by
Congress, Mr.. Redden said. He
added that his plan would pro-

CLEVELAND, Feb. 8.-Louis B.
Seltzer, editor of the Cleveland
Press, and three members of the
papers editorial staff were fined
today on contempt of court
charges resulting from a take di-
vorce arranged and publicized by
the paper.
Mr.. Seltzer was fined $500, Louis
Clifford. city editor. and Leonard
Hammer, reporter. $500 each, and
Richard Campbell, makeup ed
itor, $100.
Mr.. Campbell's wife Florence
was dismissed. Maximum pen-
atty for the charge is $500 and
10 days in jail;
Entered Guilty Pleas.
The Press is Scripps-Howar
afternoon paper.
All four of those convicted
pleaded guilty.
A week ago yesterday. under
banner headline on Page /, Mr..
Hammer wrote how he had OBJ
tanned an uncontested divorce for
the Campbells by merely knowing
the court routine, borrowing
available notary stamps and put
ting a journal entry before
Judge Samuel H. Silbert for
signature.
The Campbells did not want a
divorce. but agreed to let Mr..
Hammer use their names. Since
Judge Silbert refused to vacate
the divorce entry. they were re-
married last week.
Called Affront to Court.
A Cleveland Bar Association
committee which represented
Judge Silbert said in a statement
yesterday:
Because of the fake divorce,
the married couple, in order to
straighten out their mixup, felt
obliged to get married again. This
invasion of the sacred state of
marriage by a fake divorce is an
affront to the court. 1t offends
the dignity of the court. Such
conduct cannot be tolerated. =
Courts decisions are through
journal entries. In divorce cases
these journal entries are divorce
DEGREES. These DEGREES are sacred
and solemn. Therefore. lawyers
came into this case to protect the
court against the false decree and
to protect the public from tricky
and fraudulent interference with
the records of its courts.
If a lawyer did what the Cleve-
land Press has done, he would be
disbarred. No lawyer here ever did
such thing"

Bills 10 Kill StarIinqs

And CutWeedsAmono
5Asked by DC. Heads

Five proposed District bills, in
cludins two to permit the killing
Of starlings and weeds, are now
before Congress.
The measures were submitted TO
Congress yesterday by the Com
missioners. Similar bills failed
of passage in the 80th Congress.
:; The proposals also would pro-
vide that delinquent girls here
be committed to the custody of
the Board of Public Welfare, in
stead of to the National Training
School for Girls; that District
construction contract payment
procedure be liberalized, and that
police here be empowered to de-
stroy dangerous weapons taken
from persons under arrest.
The Commissioners asked Con-
Sress to place the starlrg in the
glass with the Englisi, sparrow,
which may be killed. Startling
killing now may be punished by a
$5 fine per bird or up TO six
months in the workhouse, they
hoted.
: Under the proposed new system
for weed removal, the Commis-
eioners would be authorized to
take summary action"-to send
in cleanup forces without giving
owners or occupants of private
property formal notice. Such
work would be done at District
Expense, instead of being assessed
against owners or occupants.
. Owners and occupants of weed
brown lands. however. might be
prosecuted for failures to get rid
pf the weeds.
/. Concerning the proposal for a
change on the commitment pro-:
eedure for delinquent girls, the
Commissioners asked that Ju-
Senile Court be required to place
them in the custody of the Board
of Jublic Welfare. rather than the
National Training School for
Girls, which is located at 520l
Ioughboro road NV.
They pointed out the school had
been used only for colored girls
since 1a4i and reported the num-
per of inmates had been dwin-
ding steadily. Only 10 were living
there last December, Congress was
told.
+: The legislation would place the
framing school facilities a: the
disposal of the Board of Public
welfare for housing such delin-
quents as it chose to send there.
. The change in procedure of
paying construction contracts
would permit the Commissioners
to make payments without the
present withholding 10 per cent
rs a performance guaranty when
q construction job was so per cent
completed.
The bill dealing with dangerous
weapons would permit the de-
struction of such weapons, under
certain conditions.
