Eden, Sec'y of State Acheson and other influential American
political, military and labor leaders. Both the State Dept.
and the Foreign Office have agreed to reply to these
telegrams.
CIA's senior representative in Athens and Commander Whiney,
the British SIS representative, have presented a compromise
proposal to Greek General Dobas on the question of a com-
munications base for stay-behind operations in Greece.
Control of the base, which is a matter for future settle-
ment, was. side-stepped in view of the -conflicting positions
taken by the British and Greeks on this. subject. The
wording of the proposal is as nearly acceptable to the
Greeks as it can be made.
