Elect 300 Deputies --The voters will elect 300 dep uties to Parliament from 800 candidates. The principal oppostion bat tling Karamanlis for power is the newly-formed Democratic Union led by Liberal Cnampion George Panandreou. " " , It consists of seven allied part ies, ranging from the right-wing Populist party to the union of left Democrats (EDA), the legal side of the outlawed Communist party. - Despite an intensive pro-gov ernment effort to label the Dem ocratic Union as Communist- controlled, the broad front was rated a better-then-even chance of snatching victory from Kar amanlis. Papandreou and his chief al ly, Sophocles Venizelos, head of the Liberal Democratic Union (FDE), both are staunch anti- Communists. They have insisted the alliance with the Commun ists merely was a strategic move to defeat Kramanlis. The Democratic Union has ac cused the Karamanlis govern ment of being a "stooge" for the west, failing to unite Cyprus with. Greece and failure to raise the country's living standards. The alliance charged, that des pite $2,500,000,000 of American aid, which most Greeks agree has saved them from Comunists, one third of the population are living on incomes of $4 to $8 per month and have felt no direct benefits from it.
