ORDER AMERICAN WARSHIPS
OUT OF GREEK PORTS
WASHINGTON, (/P)—'The navy
has ordered American warships
to stay away from Greek ports
until after Sunday’s national elec-;
tion in Greece.
Government officials said in re
porting this today that the order j
was part of a careful hands-off j
policy the United States is fol-1
lowing toward the election, the |
first in four years.
Moscow has been broadcasting
that the voting will be carried out
“under American guns” and rig
ged so that “progressive elements”
have no chance.
The same communist charges of
U. S. intimidation were made be
fore the Italian elections two
years ago and the response then
was likewise to order American
ships to sea.

Truman Defends
Defense Strength
P
WASHINGTON, (A*)—President
Truman said yesterday United
States defenses are in the best
shape they have ever been in
peace time.
Mr. Truman told a news confer
ence he is aware of criticism in
some quarters that the defense de
partment’s economy moves had
weakened the nation’s defense.
That’s not the truth, the Presi
dent said. He added he didn’t
think there was a word of truth
in it.
As a matter of fact, he went on,
the country is in the best situa
tion as to defenses that it has ever
been in a period when it was not
at war.
Defense economy moves have
come under fire from columnists
and others, including some mem
bers of Congress and some mili
tary officers who feel their own
branch of the service is being cut
too much.
In a report to Congress yester
day, secretary of defense Johnson
said the services have saved $501,
000,000 of the $13,900,000,000 or
ginally set aside for this year’s
spending.
