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

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

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

Presbyterian Hospital since the fall
five days ago. His condition was

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.

Good News For
Septic Tank
Owners
Septic tanks are lifesavers for
those who live away from city
sewer systems. But septic tanks
can, and do, stop-up and over
flow! First, because the tank is not
cleaned at proper intervals; sec
ondly, toilet tissue that does not
readily disintegrate may clog the
drains and force them to back up!
This may be avoided by using
MD, Toilet Tissue because MD
is scientiOcally processed to ab
sorb water quickly. Drains don't
clog or back up ao readily!
Good practice: Consult your
County Health Department, your
plumber, or a septic tank service
, company, for advice on cleaning
your tank. Use MD Toilet Tissue!
