Aged, Dying Greek Premier Won't Give Up

‘Cabinet Called

In Special Session ATHENS, Greece, Nov. 27 (UP) —.Aged ~ Premier Themistocles| %)puoulis lay near death on an army cot in his office late today, but neither Mr. Sophoulis nor all of his doctors had abandoned hi

ope. He received the last rites of the Greek Orthodox Church this morning and his seven physicians said he was sinking fast. But young Dr. Constantine Samaras refused to give up. He administered heart stimulants and injections until Mr. Sophoulis awoke from unconsci-| ousness, asked for—and got—a| second glass of beer and ate a meal of soup and yogurt. ! It was the biggest meal the] “Old Man,” whose age has been! variously estimated from 88 to) 92, had eaten since he was stricken by a heart attack Wednesday night. He has not been moved from the cot since the attack. | Special Session King Paul and American and] British officials were notified of] the gravity of Mr. Sophoulis’ con-| dition and the cabinet was, ordered into special session. i Mr. Sophoulis himself sent word to Minister of War Constantine Rentis to step up operations against Communist-led

guerrillas in the Peloponnesus area. “Tell him he must get the

troops in action within two weeks at the most,” the premier said. For the last rites, an ancient Byzantine ikon was brought with great ceremony to the parliament building, where Mr. Sophoulis’| office is located. Cabinet members, gendarmes and members of the onlooking crowd kissed the ikon as it was carried along the corridor. | Mr. Sophoulis himself kissed, the ikon and then, as the service was conducted by a priest, fell asleep. The tkon came originally from Crete and later was given to the Athens Byzantine church, According to legend, it has a miraculous healing power. | Fight to the Last Mr. Sophoulis said he knew he was “on the threshold of death,” but he wanted to fight to the last. The heart attack came just three days after Mr. Sophoulis had™won a vote of confidunce as premier by only one vote. Ie first took over as premier in September, 1947 at the the persuasion of U. 8. officials who wanted a board coalition government, Early this month, a split in his own Liberal party forced him to resign. He was persuaded to continue as premier and last Sunday, by that slim one-vote margin, he remained in office, Mr. Sophoulis’ age was uncertain because Ne was born before adequate records were kept. In the summer of 1947, he told a United Press reporter that he was 88. That would make him §9 or 90 now.

‘Borrowed’ Navy Fails; 1-Man War On Reds Dropped

NEW YORK, Nov. 27 (UP)— Edward Malickewitz decided today to drop his plans for a oneman naval attack on the Soviet Union in a “borrowed” auxiliary schooner, He reluctantly reached his de-, cision when he was charged in felony court with stealing the $32,000 craft from Joseph B. Sandler of the Bronx. Malickewitz, a 35-year-old unemployed laborer, said he decided to go after the Russians after a round of taverns Wednesday night. He said he saw the | schooner in: Flushing Bay,! Queens, and climbed aboard. His || plan was to sail for Poland,| which he thought would be the; best place 'to-start hostilities. He cast off the seven dock lines and started the two engines. But) he forgot to turn on the gas lines from the fuel tanks. The engines conked.out and the boat! drifted aground at College Point. |
