i Li.., Ui.v Brooklyn Turns Into Bedlam; Podres Swamped By Crowds BROOKLYN ( Broolyn i different place today and hoides o! Its nearly three million inhab itants nent happily and noisily crazy to celebrate the change. Until yesterday afternoon the bit; borough across the East River irom Manhattan had never realized its dream to be the home town of the winners of a World Series. Years of disappointment for its baseball fans had produced a special, ever-hopeful loyalty to dm Bums," the Brooklyn Dodg ers. It was a belligerent, com plaining kind of loyalty that be came a hallmark of the Brooklyn character. Premier Death Brings Crisis ATHENS, Greece VH Greece faced the possibility of a serious political crisis today after the death of Premier Alexander Pa pagos, the national hero. Field Marshal Papagos. 11-year-eld victor over the Italians in World War II and the Communists in 1949, died last night of heart exhaustion following a lung hem orrhage. The marshal had been confined to his home since January with gastric ' troubles resulting from World War II imprisonment in a Nazi camp. Members of the Premier's con servative Greek Rally parly planned to meet after his luneral Friday in an effort to reweld party unity and settle on a suc cessor. The party, a coalition of various political groups, had come near to dissolution In the months-since the Premier's illness robbed it of much of his unifying influence. Only yesterday Papagos had nom inated Foreign Minister stephan Gtephanopoulos to be provisional premie? during his illness but this automatically ceased with the Pre mier s death. Because a general election would mean the end of the party, politi cal observers expected its diverse elements to subordinate their In dividual ambitions in an effort to agree on a new premier. U.S. officials in Washington were distressed to hear of Papagos' death. Americans who had dealt with him regarded him highly and found him very friendly - to the United States. The Americans also (eared the effects on the country if a struggle for power developed. Papagos was chief of the army general staff when Mussolini threw his forces into Greece Oct. 38. 1940. Dictator John Metaxas named him commander of all Greek forces and ills troops scored repeated victories over the Italians until Natl Panzer divisions irom Yugo slavia ana Bulgaria invaded in the spring of 1941. Eight years later Papagos took command of the three-year-old war against the Communist guer rillas in the northern mountains of Greece. Given dictatorial powers and large-scale U.S. aid, he won the war in six months. Subsequently he formed his rally party In an effort to end the gov ernmental instability resulting from Greece's multiparty system, With the Dodgers now world champions, no longer is there occasion tor complaints or need for belligerency. Ir. the Joyous uproar at Borough Hall and along Flatbush Avenue and elsewhere, no one seemed concerned thai these two features of the Brooklyn character might wither in the warm alow of cham pionship and be replaced by ay sometning line gracious. ness. - Some sentimentalists might fond ly prefer the old days when fans could grumble and look hopefully toward "next year." but he wasn't in sight In the wild street cavort ing last night. The celebration began with the una i out that clincned the Doda era' victory over the Yankees in tne seventh game of the series. A chorus of auto horns heralded the event and scrap paper and tickertape fluttered from office buildings down to the noisy streets Workers poured from buildings and hugged each other in wild enthusiasm. In no lime at all, traffic was lammed at main Inter sections. For once, there was no irritation, unless one could find stray Yankee fan caught in foreign territory and stranded in the celebration. But for the most part motorist; and police just smiled happily at each other. The hero of the day was Dodger pitcher Johnny podres. who shut out the Yankees 3-0. By evening, placards boosting "Podres for mayor" had blossomed. The pitcher and bis teammates. with their wives and a few selected guests, had a victory dinner at the Bossert Hotel on Brooklyn Heights To keen Jostling fans from crush ing their heroes, police held the crowds behind barriers for two blocks surrounding the hotel. Even with .these precautions, Podres barely got into the hotel without being swamped by a surg- ing crowd that threatened to break through police lines.' The crowds stuck around for hours. On street corners and in hun dreds of neighborhood bars .the celebrating ran into the .early morning. One bartender started things off with a free keg of beer. A hot dog stand, was mobbed when it nounced that eats were on the house In honor of the occasion. As high-spirited crowds grew, a ladv caught in the. turmoil near Borough Hall was heard to gasp "My God, this is terrible. But I'm sure it's going to be worse in Flatbush." MACK OPERATION PHILADELPHIA I Connie Mack is scheduled to undergo sur- gery today to help heal a fractured hip suffered in a fan from bed. The 93 year old Mack, former owner and manager- of the Phila delphia Athletics, now Kansas City's baseball club, has been in Presbyterian Hospital since the fall five days ago. His condition was described as "still satisfactory.' DEFINITE HOLIDAY HERMITAGE, Mo. iffl Hickory County officials took tt seriously when Oov. Phil M. Donnelly de clared yesterday a legal holiday for a special election on state pub lic school aid. They closed the courthouse and didn't even count the votes cast in the referendum "Smart gal, my Susie!" riMidLlS ii n1 it A lot of wives complain about housework, but not my Susie. She uws her head instead of her muscles. For example, some women spend a whole day just scrubbing and wax ing wood floors. My Susie cleans and waxes them in one easy opera tion with Bruce Cleaning Wax. It takes only half the time and a lot less work. Yet our beautiful wood floors are the envy of her friends. My hat's off to Susie and her Bruce Cleaning Wax for making a tough job so easy. And I can't help but feel proud of both of them. P.S.
