Creek Government Growing Stronger Against Greek Reds
Washington reports indicate the American advised Greek army is gaining a definite upper hand against the Communists as Tito's split from Moscow weakens the Cominform. Guerrillas are reduced to about 75,000 with women making up roughly 40 percent, and many fighters are youths recently removed from Balkan camps. Yugoslavia lowers pressure on Greece while officially backing guerrillas, and Tito’s rift plus Greek military gains aid the shift. Over 150,000 refugees have been released and returned home to farm, some armed for local defense. The Greek government frees hundreds of political exiles after indoctrinating them in a Makronisos model camp.
