Greeks rush new law to outlaw Communist party
Athens reports government plans to push through a law within ten minutes of publication to outlaw the Communist party after the proclamation of a Greek Communist state. The measure would stiffen penalties and rely on a precedent from Venizelos era. Military operations continue against guerrilla bands near Konitsa as forces defend a strategic center and deter rebel advances. Washington lawmakers debate U S aid, with Nixon and Teague suggesting major funding to bolster Greek resistance and counter Soviet influence in the region.
