Try Three Greek
Communists For
Polk Murder I
—
(By L. S. Chakales)
SALONIKA, Greece (/P)—Three
Greek communist — two of them
still fugitives—went on trial for
their lives yesterday, charged with
the bizarre political murder of
George Polk, a reporter for the
Columbia Broadcasting System.
Polk was once a student at the
University of Alaska.
A fourth defendant, Mrs. Anna
Staktopoulos, 68, also is on trial,
accused of aiding and abetting.
them in manslaughter. She is the
mother of Gregory Staktapoulos, a
Greek journalist, the only one of
the major trio in court. The miss
ing men. being tried in absentia,
are Adam Mouzenides, the alleged
trigger man and Evangelos Vas
vanas.
William J. Donoval, wartime
head of the office of strategic
services and a special observer at
the trial, sat in the crowded, heav
ily guarded court as the long in
dictment was read. He followed
an English translation of the doc
ument, detailing the prosecution’s
charge that Polk was slain at the 1
order of Greek communists, who
hoped the government would be
blamed so that an estrangement
with the United States would re
sult. *
It charges that Staktopoulos has
confessed Polk was lured onto a
small boat in Salonika harbor last
May 16. under the promise that he
could interview the then Greek
communist leader. Markos Vafi
ades. Polk, the signed confession
says, submitted to being bound
hand and foot, then was shot
through the head by Mouzenides.
His body then was flung over
board, and recovered some days
later by fishermen.
The court received word yester
day that Polk’s widow is enroute
from New York by air, and was
expected to arrive today to attend
the trial.
The first museum in the United
States was operated on the second
floor of Independence Hall, Phila
delphia.

tempted yesterday to bring the
two unions and the Washington
publishers together on points in
disagreement. But the publisher-,
of the four newspapers said 13
points remained at dispute.
Hit by the strike of 200 me
chanical workers are the Post,
News, Morning and Eve n i n g
Times-Herald and the Star.
A Presidential fact-fi n d i n g
board attempted settlement of the
Railway Express workers strike,
issuing a back to-work appeal.
The proposal was turned down by
the union.
Company estimates say the
workers are losing $600,000 a week
in pay. The company estimates
also its revenue loss at $2,000,000
a week.
The workers want a four-hour
cut in the work 'week to 40 hours,
plus a 25 cents an hour wage in
crease over their average $1.33 an
hour.
The brewery workers turned
down a contract proposal yester
day calling for $3 more a week,
an extra paid holiday and night
differential. They insisted their
demand was not for more wages,
but improved working conditions.
A Washington labor department
survey disclosed CIO workers en
gaged in fewer strikes than AFL
workers in 1948, but the CIO
caused twice as much loss in
working time. AFL stoppages
numbered 1,336. CIO unions 966, '
and unaffiliated unions 857. AFL
unions lost 6,000,000 men days,
Anchorage Fights
For Territorial
Office Building
ANCHORAGE, (>P) — The cam
paign to have the new $060,000
Territorial office building erected
in the Anchorage area is still be
ing pushed aggressively.
The legislature, in a compro
mise move, left the site decision
to the board of administration.
The Anchorage chamber of com
merce has adopted a resolution
emphasizing this city is the logical
site.
Palmer also is seeking the build
ing.
The original House bill provided
lor the building in Juneau to take
care of the overflow of Territorial
offices. The House amended it to
provide a Palmer site. The Senate
revised it to leave the decision to
the board. The House accepted the
Senate compromise near the ses
sion’s end, despite the objection of
Third Division legislators that
leaving the selection to the board
would mean a Juneau site. The
final legislative action on it was
a majority vote in the House to
send a letter to the board recom
mending a site “north of the Gulf.”
The building site was the object
of a legislative tug-of-war because
of the effect it might, have on the
ultimate decision of where the
statehood capital might be.
CIO lost 12.400,000, and unaffili
ated unions 12,900,000.
There were 3,419 work stop
pages in 1948 compared with
3.693 in 1947.
