Polls in
Election
pitch Saturday. They said a
vote against Karamanlis' party
was a -vote for the Communists.
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.

Material Requiring
Arms License Sent
To Saudi Arabia
New York (U.R) A high
customs official said Saturday
that scores of shipments of ma
terial requiring an arms export
license from the State depart
ment have left the Port of New
York for Saudi Arabia this year.
Francis B. Laughlin, assistant
collector of customs for the Port
of New York, said freighters
leave here regularly for Saudi
Arabian ports with cargoes that
are designated as "arms ship
ments'1 under the terms of the
State department's licensing re
quirements. Export Shipments
The only export shipments to
Saudi Arabia requiring a State
department license are those in
cluding items falling in the cate
gory "arms and ammunition,"
he pointed out.
Laughlin, who administers the
Export Control department of
the New York Customs bouse,
said recent shipments to Saudi
Arabia included -radio gear, air
plane parts, -cartridges, grenade
launchers, telescopes, electronics
equipment "and other things
which might conceivably be of
aid militarily or for military
training." He said no large weap
ons had moved to Saudi Arabia
through this port.
"And the only tanks destined
for Saudi Arabia that we have
handled here are the shipment
of 18 that are now impounded in
Brooklyn," Laughlin said. "Most
of the licensed items are com
paratively small."

Time was when teen-agers, eager to shatter the
shackles of parental control, threw anything and .
everything connected with childhood right out the
window. Milk, once their favorite beverage, was,
usually among the first things that had to go. .
Today's teen-agers, however are worlds wiser.
They know that growing up is a matter of how
you act, not what you drink. And they realize that
milk is simply too good to pass up at any age.

Kefauver Starts
Minnesota Trip
Pipestone, Minn. (U.R) Sen.
Estes Kefauver opened his Min
nesota presidential primary cam
paign here Saturday by charging
the Republicans with a plot to
destroy the Rural Electrification
administration and power coop
eratives. .
In the first stop on his four
day swing through the State, Ke
fauver told 2,500 persons that
the GOP administration . does
not have the "gall to risk" a
frontal attack on REA, but are
resorting to an "insidious" one.
The attack, he said, includes
the creation of a credit prob
lem among power cooperatives
by denying loans, thereby caus
ing dissension and disunity.
Kefauver charged the Repub
licans also intend to destroy the
giant power projects like TVA
and to slow down construction
of projects already started.
"In the general farm program,
in the rural electrification pro
gram, and in the federal power
program,, it might be termed a
'kerosene and cowchips' admini
stration," he said.
