Stephanopoulos, a member of ousted premier George Papan- dreou's Centre Union party, said he would accept the role of compromise candidate "'if I have the support of the major- ity of Centre Union party dep- uties." Papandreou's campaign to re- gain control of the government appeared to be losing ground. About 100 members of Parlia- ment from Papandreou's Centre Union party were reported: re- maining aloof from the power struggle between the 77-year-old Papandreou and the new. pre- mier named by King Cons- tine, 72-year-old George Athan- asiadis Novas. Athanasiadis Novas must win a vote of confidence in Parlia- ment late this week and so far has gained the support of about 30 of the 170 Centre Union mem- bers in Parliament. About 40 still support Papandreou. But the majority of the Centre Union deputies was reported prepared to support a compro- mise candidate because they fear the crisis may deteriorate into a revolution or rightist coup d'etat. Stephanopoulos was a deputy premier under Papandreou. The 99 deputies from the conserva- tive National Radical Union were reported willing to support him for premier, and these with the 100 uncommitted Centre Un- fon deputies would give him an overwhelming majority. OUSTED JULY 15 Papandreou was ousted July 15 by the 25-year-old king in a dispute over Papandreou's plan to purge active rightists from the army, The General Confederation of Labor called a general strike for Tuesday in hopes of paralyz- ing the Athens-Piraeus areas as a sign of backing for Papan- dreou. But more and more un- fons. within the confederation announced they would not par- vticipate. Outside the capital there also were signs that Papandreou's cause was slipping. In Salonika, Greece's second largest city, 5,000 pro - Communist youths shouted anti-American slogans and called President Johnson a murderer Saturday night, but Papandreou's name was scarcely mentioned, A rally in Patras, Papandréou's home- town, fell flat Sunday night. Many observers thought Pap- andreou had been gravely dam- aged by EDA, the pro-Commu- nist United Democratic Left party which quickly rallied to his support and organized dem- onstrations that turned into riots. The Communist front's sup- port for Papandreoh. aroused memories of the 1947-49 civil war and many politicians had second thoughts about prolong- ing the crisis. itl : : 4 MR. STEPHANOSPOULOS Boone.

Sporadic strikes, without au- thorization from the brother- hood, started last Thursday and have spread to some 75 centres in British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec, Most of the other postal em- ployees decided to hold off ac- tion until the brotherhood an- ounces its national policy to- day--either to back the strikers or order a work-to-rule slow- down among its 19,500 members by strict. observance of post of- fice regulations.

A wait-and-see policy has been adopted by several centres They would-not. recog authority of Judge Anderson whose appointment, they said, came too late "because the is- sue has been before the govern- ment for more than six months." In dispute are increases rang- ing from $300 to $360 a year, granted by the government 10 days ago: They lifted the maxi- mum annual salary for letter carriers to $4,680 and for inside mail sorters to $5,040. These were other weekend developments: Mr. Benson said the govern- ment had no intention of order- ing the strikers back to work. "We don't want to threaten peo- ple. We want to carry out our duties. to the people of Canada to provide service." NO TROOPS The government, Mr, Benson added, did not want to take such action as was taken in 1957 when a railway strike was averted by legislation ordering the strikers back to their jobs. Nor did it want to use troops to deliver mail. In Toronto, 2,200 inside post office workers voted Sunday to jjoin 1,450 letter carriers who went out on strike Friday morn- ing. But in Ottawa letter carriers and sorters voted in favor in the Atlantic Provinces, not affected to date by strikes in B.C., Ontario and Quebec. HEARINGS THIS WEEK In Ottawa, it was reported that the first of a series of pub- lic hearings by Judge Anderson would start this week. An in- formant said "he is trying to find out when the hearings could start and how long they might last." As the strike spread, express, telegraph .bus and _ telephone services reported business vol- ume had increased three-fold. Mrs.. A. B.

Mr. Benson said that legisla- tive action by Parliament "'cer- tainly would be one way to end the strike, but I am certainly not going to threaten any- body." He said he hopes the postal brotherhood will be able to pre- vail on their members to go back to work pending Judge Anderson's inquiry.
