So ... There was" no mention of Russia by name, or of the Russian satel lites In the Balkans. Greek communist guerrilla forces reportedly have drawn ajd from Greece's communist - dominated neighbors. Mr. Truman said economic as sistance can be given Greece un der the proposed European recovery program. He added: No .Military Aid "Tlie European recovery program w ill not provide, however, tor any additional military assistance re quired for Greece and Turkey, which will, at the appropriate time, be sought from the congress under public law 75." Public law 75 Is the one under which Greek-Turkish aid funds were voted last year. The president said of the situa tion in Greece: "It is signilirant that the guer rilla warfare is directed not against the Greek army but against the people of Greece. The deliberate and wanton destruction of Greek villages dors not result from mili tary engagements. It is determined and ruthless destruction intended to render people homeless and drive them from the soil; to force them into overcrowded urban cen ters where they become charges of an already overburdened state; and to create for them conditions of misery and hardship in the hope that this will make them suscept ible lo political agitation." Mr. Truman snld the guerrilla bands "which traffic in human misery and chaos'' are too small to be "truly representative" of any large part of the Greek popula tion. He said they total about 20,000 and a large proportion of these were forced into "the guerrilla ranks under threat of death to themselves and their families." He said, however, that the com munist policy "Is sapping the eco nomic strength" of Oreece while the American mission for aid to that country Is seeking to build it up. Weight Still Big Worry PASCO.
