Greece Invasion
Of Albania Is
Possible Threat
ATHENS, Sept. 14. (iPt
Grace, will Invade Albania "In
self defense" if any-sutack Sre,';
launched by Communist guerril
las from the Albanian side, a
responsible Greek source said
yesterday.
He said his country would noti
fy the United Nations of its plan
of action at the coming V. N.
General assembly. The source, a
ranking delegate to the assembly,
said Greece had decided on this
action to put an end to the guer
rilla threat on the Greek-Albatt-ian
border.
The delegate said the general
assembly would be told Greece
will invoke article 51 of the U.
N. charter If there are any fu
ture guerrilla attacks from the
Albanian side. The article sus
tains the right of self-defense if
an armed attack occurs against
a U. N. member.
Recently there has been an al
most unanimous demand in the
Greek press for drastic action
if the Communists start any new
aggressions on Greece lrom Al
banian soil.

Acneson waicalea to a newt

Russia will cooperate in making
the treaty.
The secretary of state met with
reporters Just before going into
his second session of political
talks with Bevln.
The first session was held yes
terday and concerned the Pacific
area. It produced a Joint state
ment indicating that British and
American anti-communist poli
cies would develop along largely
parallel lines.
European Questions
Acheson said that their review
today would be concerned with
European questions, particularly
those involving Greece. Albania
and Spain.
He also said in response to In

Trouble Seen
In UN Control
Of Jerusalem
LAKE SUCCESS, Sept. H.(JP
The new U. N. proposal for in
ternational control of Jerusalem
appeared today to be headed for
trouble.
The plan was submitted yester
day for consideration In the 59
natlon general assembly by the
Palestine conciliation commission
as a basis for peace in the Holy
City.
0. N. delegates were reluctant
to comment on the plan until
they had time to study it more,
but informed quarters said bit
ter opposition may be expected
at least from the Israeli govern
ment. It slill was not known whether
the plan would meet the approval
of other vitally interested relig
ious and political groups; Arabs
and the Vatican and other Chris
tian churches.
To become effective, the plan
must be accepted by Israel and
Hashemite Jordan, the two coun
tries now occupying Jerusalem.
The assembly had no power to
enforce its decisions; It can only
recommend and use persuasive
force.
The commission's blue print
would preserve the Arab and Jew
ish sectors of the Holy Ci1y and
provide a measure of self-ruie for
each, but would give supreme
authority to a U. Is. commission
er named by the general assem
bly.

Roseburg' new dog control
program appears to be working
satisfactorily. Judging from the
