The Department’s Highway Safety Division lists five holiday hints to save lives: 1 Avoid last-minute shopping. ! This makes for hastes in walking I and driving.

It' also commented 1hat the ex periments at Hit nuclear weapons proving ground on Eniwetok Is land in the Pacific had "contrib uted to tli research on thermo nuclear weapons.” A thermonu clear weapon would be a hydro gen bomb, which physicists be h' ve might be as much as 1,000 times more powerful than an atomic bomb.

[ Superior To Thai Oi The Italians! —» I The Greeks Have the Fight iiiu Spirit But They Need l . S. Aid tty Edward H.

Civil war in Greece ended only in !94!); thu. the problem in Greece is not pri marily building fighting forces (which should be modernized) but‘of rehabilitating the country s i it can stand on its feet econom ically. American editors and newsmen recently touring Europe got the inside story on Greece when they met Gen Theodore Grigoropoulos, Chief of the National Defense General Staff, Prime Minister Planlirau, American Minister Counselor Charles Yost, and num erous other American military and diplomatic officials. These conferences convinced many mem bers of the group Greece would require economical aid longer than some NATO countries. With a population of only, 7. 600,000, Greece fields an army today which compares favorably with that of Italy, whose rearm ament program is just getting un der way. I he exact size ol the Greek army is secret but one might spec ulate that it is large enough to handle an attack by Bulgaria, the logical route of any attack, il Bulgaria is 1h eeffort. It is also true that an attack on Greece would probably bring Turkey, and perhaps Yugoslavia, into the conflict. These three countries can maintain 60 divisions, or more in the field Bulgaria, Rumania end Hungary— stand little chance of overwhelming these forces in any quick campaign, if indeed they can defeat them, even with their fairly modern equipment of late from Russia Therefore, a successful cam paign in the Balkans by the com munists, would require large-scale participation by Russian armies. This would almost surely bo World War III, since Greece and Turkey are expected to become members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization within a mat ter of months. Because the United States wants to keep the Greek army equipped with effective weapons, and because members of the U S. military aid mission believe that the Greeks, like the Turks, will fight to the lust man m defense of their country, there is considerable zeal among Amer icans in Athens who air charged with aiding Greece both econom ically and militarily. Greek Chief of Stall Grigorop oulos told Americans who inter viewed him a few days ago there was no cause fog doubt whether Greek troops would fight effcc livelv in case of invasion.

(International) he quietly but resolutely assured lewsmen Greece would fight to the last if atacked, even if sud denly confronted by overwhelm ing numbers. Americans stationed in Athens think the Greek army would do just that; they believe the Chief of Staff is not exagger ating. The Greek navy, composed of over 60 ships, is an important as set on the fre world’s side. These ships include a number of capable destroyers, six of which, however, are actually owned by the Bri tish, and on loan to Greece. The Greek air force is close to obso lete. but jet fighters from the United States will help correct this situation, though air force modernization will take consid erable time. To get Greece back on its feet economically, so that she can mantain a modern military ma chine without U. S. aid, is one of the jobs of ECA Towards this end the American ECA group is striving. Knowing that Greece spends a larger percentage of its budget on national defense than any other European country, while having been in a civil war up until two years ago, ECA of ficials say frankly Americans can not expect the economic aid pro ! gram in Greece to end when sim ilar programs end in some Euro pean countries. Per capita income of $128 must be raised, industrial output greatly increased, and | farming methods modernized—if Greece is to balance the budget. Prime Minister Plaistiras. pleading for continued economic aid, told reporters Greece was in ' a different position from any oth er European country, but added that if the people are given a chance to work and raise their standard, Greece veil be the first country to ask for no aid. Of a total labor force of 800.000, over ! 180.000 are currently unemployed jin Greece.

S. in the battle for a balanced economy. Greece is considered a key to the entire Balkan strategic situ ation and Communist domination would mean that both Italy and Turkey would, in a sense, be out flanked. That is why 190 employ ees are one the EC A pay roll in Greece—the largest ECA mission ! in all Europe—and why more ; than a billion U.
