Athena, Dee. 15 (U.R) A pro
posal by the Greek Insurgents
for ' compromise settlement to
end the battle with British

Lt Gen. Ronald Scobie, British

The proposal came as fighting

The proposal was submitted
by EAM, the political organiza
tion whose fighting arm, the
ELAS, is waging the battle
against the British.
: It was understood to accept
the British orders' to evacuate
Attica and lay down arms in
this area. In return the EAM
requests amnesty for its ELAS
forces and formation of a new
national government. It was un
derstood to suggest formation of
a regency but not to Insist upon
it-' ' , .
The EAM message was deliv
ered as Scobie, Harold MacMil
lan, British minister in the Medi
terranean, Greek Premier
George Papandreou, and British
Ambassador Reginald Leeper
were conferring.
Scobie's communique report
ed that fighting was continuing
both in Athens and Piraeus and

lonika area has not diminished.
