Children in Greece Fight Dogs for Food
George Extinaris, former Greek Cabinet member, said yesterday that children in northern Greece were fighting dogs for scraps of food and warned of a deeper famine this winter. He cited the 1942 death rate in Athens and said Allied victories sparked renewed food use from hiding stores. Greece receives monthly cereal from Canada and vegetables from the United States but needs meat or fish and rice to ease shortages. Sir Percy Wyndham, a veteran British diplomat, died aged 79 after a long service including posts in Washington, Caracas, and as minister to Colombia.
