Greeks Ask Leave !
To Double Size j
Of Army
ATHENS. (/P) — The informed,
source said yesterday the Greek
government would ask the United
States for permission to double the
size of the Greek army—to about
270.000 men.
This informant said a plan ap
proved by the supreme defense
council last night called for adding
70.000 men to the present army
strength of 130,000 and for crea
tion of a 70,000-man national
guard, which would be under
strict military control and which
would absorb the present armed
peasant organization. *
Any expansion of the Greek
armed forces would be financed
from the $300,000,000 American
aid program and hence is subject
to United States approval. Chiefs
of both the U. S. and British mili
tary missions attended the defense
council meeting Wednesday night.
Greek government sources have
been advocating an increase in the
size of the army ever since last
April, when it became clear that
Greek forces would be unable to
cope with the guerrillas in the
north.

He said this could be done
by heavier taxation on the natural
resources which are taken out of
the Territory by Outside interests.
“Millions of odollars worth of
natural resources have been
taken away from Alaska and part
of them should be left for the de
velopment of the Territory,” he
said.
“The Territory must have im
proved transportation by air and
water,
"The present steamship service
is inadequate and even that poor
service is being ruined by strikes.
“Government ought to cure
that.”

people of Alaska “aggressive, pro
gressive with nothing backwoodsie
about them.”
He said he found the people
unanimously opposed to the Lemke j
bill, already passed by the House,!
which would permit veterans to!

of land each.
“It would spell the ruin of Alas
ka,” he said, “and the people real
ize it.”
He added he did not believe the
