The map shows the little country and her neighbors which officials say arc involved in a contest between democracy and Communism. itv sk;hii mine WASHINGTON (AIM The American agreement to pick up the British chips in Greece, if cuiilirnied. would put the United Si ales on a diplumatiiiK course slick liinK down the years It could cost many more than the initial millions loi the lilllc Mediterran ean country. Slate department officials, at voik on the problem, say baldly that lliis is the major turning point toward which the international ir ritations of the past two years have j been pushing tile United States. I The decision, if taken on Greece. ; would lay down a major policy which would have to be applied in : other parts of the world, as oc casion arises. That the United j Slates will pour money and help 1 into any country where it looks i like Communists are about to grab the government of a people, the: majority of whom don't want j Communism : Political Reason J that is about the political reason the British have been in Greece.1 and the reason they asked the : United States to carry on because -the depleted British treasury can't do the job. Hut Greece is important far be jund its local needs. It is regarded j a a global kingpin in any Anglo- ' American attempt to stem the 1 spread of totalitarianism. If Greece slips into the Commun ist basket, British and American ollicials see a much quicker spread of Communism to both East and I West. I To the East: if Greece falls, as I they see it, Turkey goes. Turkey j gone, the Middle East Arabian stales would collapse, and with the j Middle East gone, the next would i be India and China. ! To the West: if Greek Com- 1 iiuinists get the upper band, ol licials here see an upsurge of Com- . munists in both Italy and France,! and a blow to the democratic par ties of the middle. ! The result, say ollicials. would . be an isolated Western hemisphere : clinging to free elections and frecj h ade, grcally outnumbered by the populations under the hummer ami sickle. Expensive ' To prevent this would be expen sive Since the war ended I lie British have poured $200 millions inlo Greece, exclusive of the costs of keeping; their troops there. The United States has given the Creeks another $125 millions in loans and credits. Much more is needed. The British think about $350 millions spread over the next five years i would stabilize the Greek govern ment. Whatever it costs, the State Department closed-door councils have decided that the job will be done properly or not at all. They are not prettying the problem up for the Congressmen who will have to vote the funds. Europe Watched They arc pointing out that, if the United States decides to hold the line in Greece, it must prepare to hold the line in Europe. At that point State Department men re fuse to name further nations. But European diplmats here think France is the key to Europe and France would be a much more expensive nation to bolster than Greece. In the Far East the key, for all its home-made confusion, is still China. For the time being that nation is getting the hands-off treatment from the United States, but there is reluctant admission here, that once having picked up the gauntlet, the United States must eventually listen to China's troubles again. But American help to Greece, or to any other country in similar plight, will get no British treat ment, but made-in-America treat ment. British Disagreement British and American officials differed widely, when Winston Churchill was prime minister, over individual Greeks who were to be helped back to power. The Ameri cans never approved the British aid to the Greek king, because of beliefs that the majority of Greeks didn't want him back. But at that time the British were the main Ally of Greece, and under their policies. Greece still has unrest. American officials think that further U S. loans to Greece will have to be tied with some very lough ropes, ropes which, they hope will cut oil both Leftists and Rightists and permit the majority, middle parties top power. And ibat policy would be applied in other countries. Slate Department policy stems from the American belief that ma jority rule is best, and from the fear that the spread of totalitarian ism could shackle the world's struggle toward democracy for decades to come. Officials say it has nothing to do with "preserving the British Empire" as so many com ments would make it. Similar Ideals There is this tie: The British have stood for about the same legal system, the same government and the same trade rules as the Americans.

When-There's A Will There Might Be A Poem RICHMOND, Va (P) Humor, sentiment, hatred and even poetry are buried in the uonderous cov ers of will books gathering dust in-the record room of chancery court here. If your arms are strong and you don'' mind the dust, you can read almost anything you want. One testator began his will by saying he had a fresh shave and a clean shirt, "uncommon for the middle of the week, being Wednes day." He explained that he had attended the funeral ot a friend who died unexpectedly, and ap parently mindful that he might also pass with short notice, he penned his will. Another's will was in the form of a diatribe against two members of his family. He left them $2.50 each and asserted that If they got what they deserved they would be serving time in the penitentiary. Still another left his estate to his wife in fee simple in this iamic pentameter: "Of all my worldly good I have back as 1 SAVE SAFELY ON PRESCRIPTIONS AT SMITH'S LYDIA E.
