Greek Insurgents Reported Fleeing Government Forces Claim Success in Campaign To End 'Civil War' With Leftist Guerilla Bands ATHENS (AP) Greek military authorities; declared Saturday night that leftist bands in central Macedonia, have been cut to pieces and predicted "full success" in "twenty days" for the government's mop up campaign. However, a more southerly commander, - Gen. Spiros Georgoulis, at the head of the Second Army Corps in Larissa, simultaneously declared that a network ot Communist bands directed from abroad is attempting to cut off north ern Greece and form . an autonomous state." He admitted that it Is now nec essary to convoy traffic, on Greece's main north-south high way from a point just north of Larissa. The declaration that outlaw bands in Macedonia have been cut up came from Greek Third Army headquarters in a statement at Salonika. It followed several weeks of what Premier Constantin Tsaldaris has called civil war. The Salonika statement declared that attacks believed to be attempts to reaffirm the authority of the leftist ELAS can be regarded as a "fail ure." Remnants of . the bands, the statement said, are now fleeing toward the rugged Mount Olympus terrain. Gen. Georgoulis, at Larissa in central Greece, declared that daily mining ot the main road to the north of Larissa is part of the plot to seal off the north. As a result of the mining which destroyed six trucks in the last two days all traffic north is now ordered to move In convoy from Trynavos, approximately ten miles north of Larissa. Villagers Win Battle Fi.st officially announced re sult of the Greek government's decision to arm villagers against bands came Saturday from the village of Bassit on the Gulf of Volos. There an official account said armed villagers put a band to flight in a clash which wounded two villagers and one gendarme. Simultaneously with these mil' ilary developments in the Greek government's struggle against lef tist insurgents 14 university and polytechnic school professors and 26 senior civil servants were fired by a cabinet decision aimed at eliminating leftists from govern ment payrolls. Among these was the former resistance leader and long-time liberal element tn Greek education, prof, Alexander Svolos. ; HULL GAINS FURTHER WASHINGTON The condition of Cordell Hull, ailing 75-year old statesman, continued Saturday to show gradual im provement, the Navy medical center reported.

Wallace to Edit New Republic WASHINGTON (U.B Henry A. Wallace, fired from the cabinet for speaking out against adminis tration foreign policy, announced Saturday night that he had ac cepted editorship of New Republic magazine so that he could say "exactly what I think at a time when a bi-partisan bloc 'r. driving the world into two armed camps." The former Secretary of Com merce said he was "looking for ward with great eagerness" to be coming editor of the liberal weekly magazine on Dec. 17. (The New Republic, founded In 1814, la published In New York aa a weekly and la one of the old line "liberal magailnes" In the country. It I devoted al most wholly to political and economic comment and to book reviews: It carries very little advertising. It national circu lation, about 80.000, Is distri buted chiefly among Intellectuals.) "As editor of the New Republic, I shall do everything I can to arouse the American people, the British people, the Russian peo ple, the French people, and, in fad, the liberally-minded people of the whole world to the need or stopping this dangerous arma ment race," Wallace said in a statement revealing his new lob. "Peace can never he Imposed for long by unilateral forces," he said. "Peace will come If all na tions are willing to practice mu tual Understanding and good will." It was a speech expressing such views that brought his dismissal from the cabinet. President Tru man, after first saying he had approved Wallace's remarks, re affirmed his support of the op posing position of Secretary of Stat James F. Byrnes and asked Wallace to resign. President Plans To Air Decision On Meat Ruling WASHINGTON President Truman Saturday night prepared a decision on the meat control question for broadcast to the na tion Monday night while the GOP commented "better late than never." Mr. Truman will deliver hli so lution to the meat-hungry voters in a broadcast at 10 p.m. (EST) Monday over all networks. Scarcely had this been disclosed when Carroll Reece, Republican National Chairman, issued a state ment that "it will not suffice to pull a political rabbit out ot the hat. One rabbit is a scanty diet for 140,000,000 people." In announcing the arrange ments, Presidential Secretary Charles G. Ross said Mr. Truman will discuss meat as part of "the stabilization program." Chastises City About Housing "The Veterans of Foreign Wars have taken the lead in providing temporary housing. It s high time that the community did some thing," declared George Hedding- er, commander of the organiza tion, Saturday in commenting upon the tact that the mayor's housing committee took no action for procurement of housing units before the deadline of Nov. I. "It is the responsibility of the community to see that housing is provided," Heddlnger ssid. "Com munity leaders rant at 'bureau cracy,' but when they are given a chance' to do something without government aid they pass up that chance. Now is the time to show that we can help ourselves in this matter." Program la "Temporary" The temporary housing units are reportedly available and can be procured by communities and educational institutions if the re spective groups are willing to bear the cost involved. The Nov. 1 deadline has been set by the Federal Public Housing Authority to keep the program a 'temporary' one, officials of the agency have said. "The mayor's housing commit tee is afraid to step on real estate toes," added Heddlnger. "The Veterans of Foreign Wan also would like to know how many houses are standing Incomplete in Eugene because the prices are too high for sale to veterans and be cause there isn't as much profit in completing them for rental purposes." "Bur M Ridiculous Price" N. K. Hitchens, commander of the American Legion, said Satur- day that "whatever could be done should be done." He mentioned the veterans who have been forced to buy homes at ridiculous prices and who will "suffer abuse" when the situation gets back to normal. "A desperate need exists, Hitchens said. "It seems that measures of like nature should be taken." to cress the drive in cooperation with more than 550 local OPA rent offices. The announcement eame as Senator Wiley (R-Wls) of the Senate Judiciary Committee re leased correspondence with At torney General Clark and Price Administrator Porter questioning the right of . OPA agents to carry .. arms and make arrests. Wiley wrote the officials that there is "some question as to the present legal authority for ac tions of the OPA enforcement staff and demanded to know un der what law they were acting. Porter cited a statute which he said gives the agents the power 10 mane arrests and added that "the right to carry weapons fo defense necessarily flows from" that power. Clark promised hli reply later. Violations Reported In the housing enforcement drive, Porter's statement said that the "maximum voluntary compli ance" is sought but that "cases requiring criminal prosecution will be certified to the attorney general's office." Reporting that a "substantial number of complaints of viola tion" already had been received, an OPA official told a reporter the drive will be OPA's first step m miung over eniorcement duties recenuy delegated to it by the N. tlonal Housing Agency. -we ao not have a flood of complaints," he said. "But we have had a substantial number, es pecially in certain areas. This cam paign is intended not only to check tip on complaints already received, but to establish a per manent safeguard for veterans' rights under the emergency hous ing program." Complaints already received, the official added. Include chargei that soma builders have over priced new houses, and offered houses for sale or rent In return for side payments. - ' Russia Asked To Settle Bill WASHINGTON W The United States has sent a note to Moscow .requesting Russia to wind up its $11,000,000,000 lend lease account, informed govern ment officials disclosed Saturday night. Russia was asked to send a fin ancial mission to Washington to begin discussions as soon as con venient, these officials said. The American note was report ed Jo have been sent several wawta ago but no reply has been received. The United States furnished Russia $11,141,000,000 in lend lease as of Dec, 31, 1945. Russia'! reverse lend-lease contributions for the same period totalled $2,213,000. The American note to Moscow divorces the lend-lease discus sions from the suggested negotia tions for a $1,000,000,000 loan to Russia. This change of procedure reflects the American govern ment's growing belief that the Soviet would not accept the con ditions for the credit laid down by the United States. On 454th Anniversary of His Discovery Centuries Later, World Argues About Columbus EDITOR'S NOTE Saturday waa the 454th anniversary of the discovery of the new world by Christopher Columbus, who sighted land that morning In 148Z after the first perilous voyage across a then uncharted Atlantic, The historical feature below recalls a few of the many versions still circulated about what manner of man Columbus was. Not all authorities on the dis coverer of America agree, but the descriptions typify the sort of argument that still goes en. By Bernard Engel Christopher Columbus still is center of controversy nearly 450 years after his death. All that is known of him that apparently is not disputed seems to be that he did make four voyages to the new world and that these voyages resulted in the opening of European eyes to the possibilities of an undeveloped land. He fought 18 years to get bark ing for his dream of an explora tion of the western Atlantic, and then he received only the grudg ing support of Spain's Ferdinand and Isabella. Ferdinand opposed the venture and Isabella seems to have been indulging a whim which she afterwards regretted. Columbus led perhaps the most daring expedition of history. Yet as leader he seems to have been been of a very low caliber. Re volts at his forts, mutiny on his ships, and native uprisings In his colonies testify to what careful biographers say wss a zealot's weakness of ruthlessness coupled with a mercenary selfishness. When called upon to make good his offer of a reward to the seaman who first saw land on his Initial expedition, Columbus refused to make such payment, ; (CONTINUED ON PAGfil) .; i i :' :-':;! ff-5 '?r-i ;', mi?..' ;. .'I i ! i:'',-!t . ;'!
