The Government's measures to control food seriously disrupted the Communist supply system and compelled them to break up into small gangs, it added.

MILITARY HERO
M. Demetrius Kiussopoulos, the Supreme Court Attorney who led the outgoing caretaker Cabinet, called on the Marshal today to congratulate him.
Marshal Papagos, the military hero who defeated the tallariz in World War II' and the Com- munists after it, entered politics only year ago with the forma-
tion of the Rally.
He had resigned his past as Commander-in-Chief of the Army after what were described as "divergencing with the King' on appointments to the Kinga military household.
The Marshal announced that he was entering politics because to the politicians had brought Greek people the dilemma of cither voting for the old corrupt parties or for Communiam.
Marshal Papagos in an official statement on his victory sold: "Greece will once more answer the call of other freè nations who fought for democracy and free- dom."
