Peurifoy Expresses
American Concern
Over Greek Crisis
Declares Minor Dispute
Threatens Nation After
Army Chief Quits
By the Assoeiated Press

ATHENS. Greece. June a.
United States Ambassador John
C. Peurifoy told Premier Sophocles
Venizelos today the United States
is gravely concerned about recent
developments in Greece. Ambas-
sador Peurifoy hurried back to
Athens after Field Marshall Alex
ander Papagos Unexpectedly quit
as chief Of the Greek armed forces.
Premier Venizelos called on the
Ambassador at his residence and
found Mr.. Peurifoy in shirt
sleeves. Informed sources said
the Ambassador declared he felt
the destiny of Greece was beng
placed in the balance by a dis
pute over minor issues. Later
Mr.. Peurifoy is scheduled to see
King Paul and Marshal Papagos
He is expected to tell them the
same thing.
A high American source ad.
mitted that Marshal Papagos
resignation may jeopardize thu
scale of future American military
aid to Greece.
He said United States military
leaders have unlimited confidence
in Marshal Papagos, but that thi'
confidence is not likely to be be.
slowed on his successor. Thi!
source said the United State.
trusted the marshal to exploit
fully all aid received.
The Greek military crisis is ere.
Iating anxiety in Washington, i
was learned, because of the impor.
tant role which would be assigned
to the Greek army in case of Com.
munlst aggression in the Mediter'
ranean or Middle East.
1t is generally believed the Greek
army would lose large degree o1
deficiency without the iron-handeC
guidance of Marshal Papagos.
Marshal PapagoS gave Ill health
as an excuse for resigning, but the
basic reason is months -old diff
ference with King Paul and his
palace guard. The palace group
thought the marshal was trying tt
extend his authority beyond the
military sphere into matters which
concerned the court.
It is known that he has voiced
objections to nominations made
by the King to his military house
hold. These objections caused
sharp resentment on the part o1
the King and his palace advisers

adviser to the State Department.
lis scheduled to leave New York
today for Britain. where he will
discuss the Japanese peace treaty
Official sources here indicated
the principal topics will be the
future of Formosa and whether
Red China-recognized by Britain
but not by the United States
should be brought into the treaty
negotiations.
Evening star., 1951-06-02


Other highlights of Mr.. Ache
sons testimony included:
/. He believes the situation in
Iran, where the government is
insisting on Matchmaking oil re-
sources operated by a British
controlled company, is "of the
greatest possible seriousness and
might easily deteriorate into a
situation out of which war could
grow"
2. The way for a diplomatic
settlement of the Korean war may
open up when continued slaughter
of the Chinese Communist armies
convinces the Reds they cannot
drive the United Nations forces
out of Korea.
3. He does not know of any Ko-
rean armistice being under nego-
tiation or of any truce proposal
by the Red Chinese. He added
that 1t. Gen. James A. Van Fleet,
U. N. ground commander in Korea,
could not negotiate any armistice
without getting instructions from
the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
4. First effect in Japan Of Gen.
MacArthur's removal was one of
very considerable shock" but the
situation has been very largely
restored there.
Importance of Hong Kong.
S. If the British colony of Hong
Kong should fall into Communist
hands it would have "a very ad-
verse influence" on the interests of
the United States and its allies in
the Far East. Hong Kong is IAN
important point" for observation
and other operations in the Far
East.
s. The 38th Parallel, dividing
line between North and South Ko-
rea, has no significance from the
military point of view.
7. The Secretary was unable tc
say whether there is greater
danger of World War III breaking
out in Europe or Asia since "one
never knows where the spark may
come from that might ignite the
whole thing"
g. Possible blockade of the Chi
neSe mainland is under constant
planning in the Government"
9. Great Britain and France
are not willing to go as far as the
United States wants to now in the
degree of economic sanctions te
be imposed on Communist China.
10. He hopes I'VE are working
closer to an understanding" with
the British in regard to keeping
