Yacht Purchases Stir U S Greece Ties
Athens reports King Paul will acquire a 110 foot 150 ton American built yacht costing 220000 dollars with the United States government voicing disapproval. Prime Minister Venizelos says the vessel replaces the king’s inspection patrol craft and that the cost to Greece is offset by a large U S loan. The yacht was bought in Miami with 120000 dollars funded by Greece and the remainder by wealthy Greek shipowners in the United States and Britain.
