We Are In Sight Of A Shooting War In Greece Says Eaton
Rep Eaton, chair of the House foreign affairs committee, warned Congress the United States faces a shooting war in Greece with alien armed forces in the country. He urged two resolutions to empower travel for foreign affairs subcommittees and to create a 19 member committee to monitor Marshall Plan relief and overseas military zones. In Greece, nationalist planes attacked guerrillas fleeing Ioannia while ground forces pursued, and the war minister warned of a larger offensive along the northwest frontier. The government said guerrillas invaded from Albania to aim for a separate communist government.
