With the help of Macedonian peasants, I skirted a Greek army outpost at Orma at the foot of Mt. Kaimakchalan and talked with partisans and villagers in the general area of Mt. Kaimak chalan and ML Paikos, due north of Edessa and about 65 miles Fur Price May Take Big Drop WASHINGTON. Dec. 19 (iP Albert M. Day, director of the F:i and Wildlife Service, cau tiously predicted today a decline in the price of fur coats in the not-too-distant future. At recent sales, mink pelts sold for 25 per cent less than last year's prices, and American processed Pribilof sealskins sold for an average of $46.64 each, compared with an $80.28 aver age last September. Day told a reporter that, due to the price lag between whole sale and retail markets, it might take a little time for these low er prices to be reflected in the fur-coat costs. Day added that the Importa tion ' of cheaper skins rabbit, badger, marten, weasel from , Manchuria and other countries las been resumed, and eventual ly may join with consumer re sistance to bring down the price of the more luxuriant furs. 'northwest of Salonika. This was the locale of the most sever guerrilla fighting in Greece, north of the road between Sal onika and Edessa and south of the Yugoslav frontier. The guerrillas appeared to be constantly. In operation. Partisan commanders and fighting men and women said the people of the Greek villages lived in terror of the Greek army and gendarmeries. They related many stories of killings by gendarmes and said that in some places workers did their winter planting at night, surrounded by. heavily armed guards of partisans.' Villagers asserted there had been "discrimination in the dis tribution of UNRRA. goods." They said their village received only one allotment of supplies in two years and that this consisted of only a few cans of milk and some clothes. Another village of 1000 per sons was said to have received a few old clothes and a little milk. One partisan said that during a guerrilla attack on a village, guerrillas found 50 UNRRA waterproof jackets and 50 pair of shoes' in the mayor's house. They charged the mayor with selling the supplies in the black market and a partisan said the guerrillas shot him on the spot. In strange contrast to the Greek villages. Yugoslav people just on the other side of the border were receiving full aid and spending their entire time rebuilding their homes and roads. Not a single Greek road we traveled had been repaired. No evidence was found that Greek army troops or the gen darmerie ever had set foot inside Yugoslav territory. A few par tisans sometimes are known to flee into Yugoslavia, but the main forces remain always in Greece, it was said. A deputy commander of parti san forces assured us the guer rillas were presenting a united front in their fight against the Greek government. Four out of five cows suffer from hayfever.

Vistas of unexplored fields of radio research were opened to day with an announcement by Johns Hopkins university scien tists that they have accidentally discovered a new method of radio reception using only a tiny strip of frozen metal without power source, tubes or antenna. Dr. Donald H. Andrews, pro fessor of chemistry at the uni versity and co-discovorer of the phenomenon, said local programs had been heard clearly by use of a piece of columbium nitride smaller than a common pin and made superconductive by lower ing its temperature to about 435 degrees below zero (fanrenneuj. "Perhaps in another two or three months." Andrews hazard ed, "we will be able to tell what we have here." Other sources close to the uni versity, who declined to be named, predicted, however, that the discovery might lead to a revolutionary new moans of long-distance radio transmission and reception because of the treated metal's great sensitivity to wave impulses.
