WASHINGTON—The Greeks had
a word for it—the word revolution
I mf an It was antistasts I believe
as nearly as I can transliterate the
GI eek alphabet
lut until very recently it meant
sometting quite different from what
it means in Greece today
I won't attempt to telescope the
history of the Hellenes back to
Helen of Troy

our oldest diplo-
i' :: 'y'e-1:- mats or even
i11 4 7 some of the
younger ones we
liAl'K11111E are familiar with
the program It
usually started with the "colonels"
It wasn't a too strenuous or blood-
thirsty alTair A few colonels got tn-
gethcr They marched on the palace
or the war department or the stwe
department had a few polite words
put their own cabinet in shot off a
tcw shots which damaged at most a
few more or less innocent but cu-dous
bystanders and that was that
But—there came a change
The revolution which followed the
"liberation" of the Greeks from
Nazi ueetipatIon was quite a differ-
ent matter It didn't come frem the
top and work down It came frcm
the bottom and worked up
The Allies had armed the "resist-
ance" the Greek patriots who
fought the Germans But while the
Allies poured in such material aid
as was possible just as they helped
Tito in Yugoslavia the Russians
were pouring in sem( thing tise
Propaganda The Allies learned too
late the true physiognomy of the
revolution which opposed the gov-
ernment The "liberation" was
'a revolt engineered and carried on
by the enlisted men not the high
officers And its leaders were communist-indoctrinated
The majority of the rebelling
Greeks were not Communists They
were not fighting to establish a com-
munist regime but to overthrow an
autocratic junta But they were or-
ganized and directed by Moscow-
trained leaders
Today there is a "revolution" in
Greece The majority of the so-
called "guerrillas" are not Comrnu-
nisb They are fighting to establish
(they think) a liberal Greek govern-
ment But all of their leaders are
Communists And the rank and tile
are being carefully and thoroughly
indoctrinated in communism They
raid they fight they eat off the
land they use the weapons provided
by the Allies But out of each such
fighting and eating day they take
time out to go to school
These schools are conducted
regularly from 10 to 12 and from
4 to 6 unless a battle or so inter-
rupts In these schools the good
Greek patriots are being thor-
oughly Instructed in the philoso-
phy ut Karl Marx Nick Lenin
and Joe Stalin This is of rec-
ord It Is fact not fancy Mos-
cow would (unofficially of
course) probably boast of it
rather than deny it
Those who graduate with sufficient
commurdstic "honors" are appoint-
ed political commissars and at-
tached to each guerrilla unit
It is easy to imagine what would
happen if these forces took over the
government
Meanwhile there is no objection
on the part of the agents of Moscow
to have the Greeks set up "coali-
tion" governments—they have had
nearly a dozen all of which failed
because the leaders of the various
parties represented could not co-
operate The failure of these governments
the revolt dissension unrest ter
rible economic conditions all con
tribute to that great ally of commu
nism—chaos
Conditions That is the answer
The whole of the American policy of
"aid to Greece and Turkey" is in
tended to change present condi
tions To change them the experts
tell us we must:
I Stop the warfare assure per-
sonal security to the people
2 Feed them
3 Restore their normal eco-
nomic life and as a result their
normal social life
Then see that they are let alone
to take care of themselves Commu-
nism then will die of malnutrition

"Children in Orphanage Because
of Housing Shortage"—that was the
headline on a story in the St Cloud
Minn Times—a story that went on
By BAUKTIAGE
New: Aso lyrt and CommentstiPr
to say: "Three applications were
made this week by parents seeking
admission for their children in the
St Cloud Orphan's home The par-
ents were unable to rent or buy
living quarters Rev Jerome Biele-
jeski in charge of the home said:
'This institution is no place for a
child with a mother and father who
can provide a home for him Our
principal objective is to care for de-
pendent and neglected children and
orphans These children have not
been neglected — except by soci-
ety' That was two years ago It stirred
the people of St Cloud They set up
an emergency housing committee
whose first action was to print a
blank form to be filled out by people
who needed homes Within a few
days 200 families had registered—
nearly 1000 people with no place to
live
To take care of the most urgent
cases the town (population 28000)
obtained 100 trailers and set up two
camps Then it turned to the houses
which were being built—very slowly
because of the lack of material par-
ticularly lumber Also these houses
cost more than most returning vets
could pay
There is a concrete block plant
in St Cloud
"Why" Mayor Murphy askeil
himself "can't we make use of
that? Isn't there some kind (I house
we can build using concrete?
Why not basement houses?"
St Cloud hid used basement
houses before—in the depression
days of the early '30s when people
who coulen't ifford to build com-
plete houses built basements with
the hope of completing the structure
later
The mayor agreed to underwrite
the construction of the first five
basement houses in October 1945
Today there are 175 of them in St
Cloud
The basements are approximately
24 feet by 30 feet with concrete
block or poured concrete walls ris-
ing approximately two feet above
the ground Each basement is di-
vided into two bedrooms a living
room and dinette with a kitchen in
one corner and a bath Some roofs
have a small rise others are flat
with tarpaper laid over what will
some day be the floor of houses The
cost is $2G00 and the buyers agree
to build the rest of the house within
three years if possible
One of the first CIs to move into
a basement home was CHIT Can-
field Cliff was 20 months in the
infantry in the South Pacific made
two landings on Luzon and went in-
to Japan with MacArthur's troops
When he first got a job in St Cloud
with a department store his wife
Sarah and daughter Karen lived
with her folks in a town in the
northern part of the state They
have painted and lecorated their
basement to make it look quite
cheerful and comfortable Mrs
Ganfield said that she had trouble
with the water pipes overhead drip-
ping in wet weather One of her
best bedspreads was spoiled by the
water She has solved the problem
temporarily by wrapping news-
paper around the pipes "There are
lots of things we don't like" she
said "The water used to come in
through the windows whenever it
rained hard And we couldn't find
any wood for shelves for a long
time But at least we're together
And we don't have to look to see if
we're going to sit in somebody's lap
when we sit down"
Others in the community followed
the lead of Mayor Murphy Among
them were young Don Strack who
returned from the army late in 1945
Before the war Don had worked
with his father who IF a contractor
Don wanted to build houses for his
pala back from the army and so
' he started constructing basements
He says that construction time is
about three to four weeks not
counting delays for materials Strack
has completed 12 basement houses
and has several under construction
now
Other people in the community
have built basement houses for sale
or rent to veterans Among them is
Ralph Borrowman city engineer
And some vets have started to build
their own homes George Schuler
former sergeant who spent 23
months in the European theater is
one v:ho is building his own base-
ment home He and his wife Edith
dreamed up a plan for the hmie
they wanted Local contractors said
it could be built for $3900 maybe
That's when George made a deci-
sion He started digg 'he base-
ment April 3 had a by he
went to school with ' eks for
walls This cost $12: ier local
tradesmen put in the pluelbing and
wiring George and his father have
done all carpentry and painting He
borrowed a concrete mixer to put in
the sidewalk and lay the concrete
floor lie hopes to have his house
completed by Seltember 1 His wife
said: "Maybe it is only a basement
but its ours"
A local church also is being built
like basement homes Redeemer
Luillonn church has built a base-
murt ‘xhith has 1vo whitp

(This official veterans' informa-
tion service is prepared by the St
Louis branch office of the Veter-
ans Administration)
To the veteran who entered ser-
vice soon after leaving high school
and who never had a chance to
learn a trade on-the-job training
can be one cyf the most valuable
of all veteran's benefits provided
by the government More than
58000 veterans in Arkansas Kan-
sas Missouri and Oklahoma are
now in training under this plan
To enter on-the-jc43 training a
veteran first should visit a Veter-
ans Administration office and ap-
ply for a "certificate or eligibility"
for education and training In
applying he will need a certificate
or photostatic copy of his service
discharge
After obtaining the eligibility
certificate the veteran approaches
a employer who has the type of
business or trade he wishes to
learn If the employer is willing
to put him on the payroll as an on-the-job
trainee and the shop or of-
fice is approved by the State for
G I training the veteran turns
his eligibility certificate over to
the employer The employer fills
out a portion of the form certify-
ing that he is putting the veteran
in training and giving the name
of the training course the length
of the instruction period the be-
ginning wage and the beginning
wage usually paid to skilled
(journeyman) workers The certi-
ficate then LI sent to the VA re-
gional office
If the employer's shop has not
already been authorized to provide
G 1 training it is inspected by
the State approving agency If
and Ivhen the shop meets the
State's requirements the veteran
begins his training
The employer pays the veteran
a specified trainee's wage and VA
