Truman says Greek drive bogged down despite aid
President Truman told Congress the effort to crush Greece's Communist backed guerrillas has bogged down as Greek forces fail to mount a determined push against remaining rebels. He noted morale sag and questioned earlier optimistic prospects despite more than 170 million dollars in American arms and supplies. In Turkey, aid shows progress, strengthening the army to resist pressures. The report covers operations through September 30, with about 22,000 guerrillas still active in Greece.
