GREECE: Houseclecming Scheduled
New top man in Greece: Field Marshal Alexander Papagos, whose new-broom conservative "Greek Rally" Party (TIME, Sept. 10) led the field in the Greek election this week, came close to getting an absolute majority of parliament seats. That means that Papagos may try to form a government without taking in all of Greece's old-line politicos, who in the past have made up Greece's weak coalition cabinets. Papagos, whose tough leadership (together with U.S. aid) defeated the Reds in the civil war, has a simple platform: housecleaning. Says he: "Economy everywhere . . . It is wrong to expect everything from the U.S. . . . I do not promise you paradise."
