RETURN FROM
TRIP TO GREECE
Mrs. Sam Pappas Tells of Con-
ditiOns in Country and
Marshall Plan Aid
GREEKS ARE GRATEFUL

The benefits of the Marshall
Plan were plain to be seen, accord
ing to Mrs. Sam Pappas, who has
just returned with her husband
from six months spent visiting re-
latives in Greece. without the
help of the United States, I do not
see how the people could have sur
vived," Mrs. Pappas said in an in
terview made upon her return to
Smyrna. She spoke of the poverty
which exists, saying that many
people do not have meat but once
a year, during the Easter festival,
their diet consisting of rice, cereal,
and cheese made of goats and
sheep milk. Mr.. and Mrs. Pappas
saw evidence of the help the
Marshall Plan gives the Greeks. in
the building of roads, the supply
of equipment, and also the fact
that the people are taught to use
it. They have come back firmly
convinced of the value of the aid,
and said that the attitude of the
Greeks toward the United States
is good because of their apprecia-
tion. They are given help by the
digging of wells, and she saw one
town which had been wiped out by
floods being rebuilt with our help,
with the homes being replaced free
of charge. Not only is food scarce
but clothing is poor quality and
not plentiful. She saw many
Greeks wearing made-over Ameri-
can clothes sent by relatives in
this country or in packages sent
by strangers. The ravages of COM
rnunism were described by Mrs.
Pappas, who has come back with
a real hatred of communists. She
told Of her fathers sister having
been burned to death when their
home was destroyed by commun-
lists, and the father and daughter
of the family having been shot as
they fed the burning home. She al
SO saw a deep pit into which bod
les of living persons were thrown
if they were suspected of any op-
position to communism. Mr.. Pap
pas mother, who is in her early
eighties. said farewell to her son
without tears, as she said she
would not want him to remember
her crying. Pathetic pleas were
made by those who wish to come
to America just to see its Won
ders, and then return satisfied.
Mrs. Pappas noted the courage and
the philosophical acceptance of the
people of their lot in life. They Wis
tied also in Portugal and Italy,
and said that many children were
seen begging at the wharves in
both countries.
