GREEK PREMIER METAXAS, DEAD

General Who Drove Italians Back to Albania Was Military Hero. (Continued from Page One)

when the Italians came. When he had learned a year before that Italy was building military high-

ways through Albania toward the.

Greek border he began preparations to receive them. He studied tactics used by the Italians in the Spanish Civil War, and decided that if he ever had to fight Italians, he would prefer: to do it in the mountains. Took War Into Albania When the day came he let the Italians advance through the Pindus almost to the mountain capital of Janina, and get .a foothold on the Macedonian road leading to Salonika. Then he fell onto them with the elite of the Greek Army, the skilled Evzones mountaineers. The Evzones soon had cleared Greece of “every Italian but the dead ones and prisoners,” and had carried the war into Albania. All this was according to the plan Metaxas had worked out long before. He is said to have directed every move in the early phase of the campaign. He could do so without regard to the General Staff, because since he achieved supreme power in 1936 he had concentrated in himself the portfolios of War, Navy and Air.

Soldier for 50 Years

Metaxas was 69. His appearance was scholarly and benevolent, in spite of the sternness of his character. In caricature, his characteristics were horn-rimmed spectacles, high, stiff collars, a short, stocky body. . He made no pretense about his position. In 1938, after he had crushed the second revolt within a year, his Government announced that he would be Premier “for life.” He had been a soldier for 50 years, gince he was graduated from the Greek Military Academy at the age of 19 as lieutenant of engineers.

British Morale Unimpaired

England’s morale is unimpaired, he said, but he warned the Committee that ultimate solution of the war - in favor of the democracies depends upon control of the sea and of the air. “Without sea power and with the control of the air against them, the armies of the Axis powers cannot indefinitely hold even the European world in subjection,” he said. “Sooner or later the inevitable reaction against such slavery will come, and in my opinion when it once starts it will come with a speed which the defeatists have far ur der-estimated.” He said the pending lend-lease bill has two main features: 1. An attempt to create order out of the-disorder which has existed for nearly two years in the manufacture of munitions in this country. 2. A move to measure the consideration. which. may be given by foreign nations for weapons to be transferred “in more flexible and thus more valuable terms than in hard cash”—particularly in terms of overall benefit, to the United States, indirect or direct.

Denies It’s .Ordinary Loan “To try to turn the transaction (the lending of arms) into an ordinary loan is one of the most shortsighted views ‘that a great nation could take,” he said. “It is in our own interest not to try to drive a hard bargain for cash.” He said it was ‘good national policy” not only to preserve today a hard-fighting Britain, but also ‘to think of the consequences and conditions that will follow the war. “When that time comes,” he added, “we shall be directly affected by whether or not those nations whose ways of life and methods of trade are most like ours are able to recover from the strain of war.”

District Attorney, referred to the papers he called them “so-called” easements. The easements are reported to be for land in connection with the Minnesota St. and Ritter Ave. improvements which the Government claims were made on land so that

the defendants privately benefited. The defendants are Arthur F.

Eickhoff, real estate man; Charles E. Jefferson, former member of the Marion County Flood Control Board, and Carl Kortepeter, former Marion County WPA co-ordinator. Mr. Nordsiek said that he requested the easements from Mr. Eickhoft and that so far as he knew, Mr. Eickhoff never asked for improvements to be made on property he owned. . He testified that at the time of the projects, spring of 1938, there was a -pressure on the WPA for projects to keep men at work and that Mr. Eickhoff, at his request, helped get easements from, other property owners. A$ the opening of the trial Monday, counsel for Mr. Eickhofl stated that he had granted the easements to the WPA in the region of Silver Hills, real estate development owned by the Eickhoff family.

He said, however, that he had not

searched through “some of the junk we found in the office.” plained that he thought that easement records were kept in the County Commissioners’ office. that point he was dismissed from the stand.

Most of the testimony so far has

been merely routine and for the purpose of establishing Government evidence as exhibits.

Among five witnesses called to
