Steele's Trip to Greece Is Only Partly Successful
Spero Steele of 1020 Buckley St returned from Greece with seven trunks of clothing for the needy and letters of gratitude from Greeks helped by the aid. He says the trip aided relief efforts despite failing to bring back his sister's husband and daughter. The voyage occurred as Greece faced a six day leadership gap and a new draft law restricting men under 40 from leaving. Steele notes improved conditions under Marshall Plan, but warns about ongoing guerrilla activity and uncertain long term outcomes. He also recounts high prices and low wages, Greek poverty, and a risky side trip to Haifa under a false identity as a Greek waiter.
