Guerrillas in Control, North G reece AP Feature v, LONDON - G r e e k guerrillas control the whole mountain rang es of northern Greece - and the country between K, Salonika and Athens with a well-organized civ il administration under which hundreds, of thousands of ' free Greeks are living, the. clandestine newspaper Free Greece reports In a recent edition. 1 A correspondent reported that In a village close to the Parnassus there were no axis flags or swas tikas but the Greek flag with the motto "Liberty or Death" was waving from a balcony.' "I saw the villagers free i to work, to argue, to sing, without the nightmare of Italian troops hovering over them,' he wrote. "The village was brightly lighted at night and the inhabitants mov ed about freely without curfew." me majority oi me guerruias ' heavily bearded and apparently with stocks of modern arms wore uniforms - of half a dozen nations. They all wear a ; forage cap with, the badge of their or ganization on it, the account said. Slung over their shoulders they carry cartridge-filled bandoliers. The guerrilla bands, which re cently have effected a loose organ ization and have split the country Into districts in which each -band will operate, consist of about fif "teen members. The villagers are governed by civil councils . elect ed by themselves and there also are special committees which col lect food." - . "When I left the village,! the correspondent adds, "a ' young guide came wtih me. He had to re turn at night alone When I asked him if he was not afraid he said: " Triend, all those things we had to put up with are finished. , There are no Italians or Germans . or any other vermin in the moun tains now. Here the guerrillas rule."

DAVIS ... i LONDONDERRY, Northern Ireland (Delayed) Yes, Mac, it's true. Our versatile marines band. Leathernecks who have read its members,' may think it's all of the band it's tough work, the band.' Not recognized as an official band, the marines here who play pipes, drums, bugles and cymbals in the bagpipe band do not have the usual schedule of marine corps bandsmen. They stand their reg ular tours of duty, practicing with their instruments in their time off duty. Sergeant Obtains Pipes - Initiated last winter, the band got off to a slow start when it became necessary for a marine to tour, the British Isles to seek out a dozen sets of pipes, bugles and drums for the band. Cymbals are unheard of 'over here in a bag pipe band,1 hence they were ob-; tained from the States. - . Field Music Sergeant Carleton Hyland, one of the "fathers' of the band, went out after, the in-; struments, stopping in northern Ireland, Scotland . and England during his search. As soon as the 12 sets of pipes were obtained, rehearsals started. The difficult job of mastering the pipes, , which can play but seven notes, -soon .weeded out those who thought, the band was a lark. , Candidates Weeded, Oat . : Drummers and buglers were not so hard to find,- even though. Eng-. lish, bugles are .being used, ' and. these are' higher in pitch than American bugles. -The prospective musicians obtained -. : American mouthpieces for- the -bugles 4 which they claim are easier, on their, mouths. ;" " 4 ' - A member of an Irish military bagpipe band in the last war, Mr. William; Foster "of Londonderry, was - engaged as ' instructor, ' and First Lieutenant Doyle R. Walker was named band officer. Private Harold Durnell of Miami, . Fla4 musical director for marines here, was made pipe major and imme diately started - arrangihg , such tunes as ;- The Marines'. Hymn" and "Oh Susanna1, for the pipes. Band Enters Contest On May 12 the band made its first appearance and on June 26 it ) competed in an bid-fashioned bagpipe band contest at Dromara, Northern Ireland. There was some discussion at first of kilts for the band.
