Situation In
Greece Becoming
46Very Serious”
«By The Associated Press*
A Greek cabinet minister an
nounced today “The situation has j
radically changed in favor of na-1
tional forces” in northwestern
Greece, where the army was re
ported moving into battle positions
against guerrillas who the govern
ment said “invaded" Greek soil
from Albania.
In London, where the situation
was described by British govern
ment sources as a “very serious
turn of events,” a foreign office,
spokesman said Britain was in-j
vestigating Greek charges that an •
international brigade was invad-1
ing the strife-torn country. A gov
ernment informant said if the
charge was considered founded, a
ioint British-American protest
may be lodged with the United
Nations.
The U. N. security council al
ready was in extraordinary ses
sion on the Greek situation. The
United States demanded at Lake
Success that the council give top
priority to the entire Balkan pro
gram in view of its “urgency.”
The council deferred a sched
uled discussion of a global police
force when the Greek government
pleaded that the Balkans debate
I
be expedited.
The appeal came in the form of
an extraordinary Greek letter to
the delegates from Greek ambas-.
sador Vassili Dendramis, who said
he was acting “upon urgent in
structions from my government.”
He told the delegates that “strong
and well-armed hostile forces in
vaded Greek territory from Al
bania July 13.”
The letter said that “substan
tial forces, including units of an
international brigade of irregulars
and Communists” were concen
trated on the Albanian side of the
frontier and that Communists :n
Greece. Yugoslavia and Albania
were attempting to form a rebel
government.
In Athens, sources close to the
general staff reported the army
was attempting to snap shut a
pincers movement against strong
guerrilla unitg driving south of
Ioannina Janinal.
