Some press correspondents re- ported their calls were cut in mid - conversation. No foreign newspapers were being allowed into the country. Speculation regarding the whereabouts of King Constan- tine buzzed through the city, but a spokesman for the new gov- ernment denied that he was un- der any kind of house arrest. King Constantine's role in the coup was in doubt with some LBJ To Meet Armed Police BONN (CP) President Johnson planned meetings today with Chancellor. Kurt Georg Kiesinger and other West Ger- man leaders as they awaited the funeral of Konrad Adenauer. Strong forces of armed police guarded the streets as Johnson drove to the Rhineside Palais Hammerschmidt to pay a cour- tesy call on President Heinrich Luebke. Police stood at 20-yard inter- vals along ~the main road through Bonn's ministerial quar- ter--newly renamed Adenaueral- lee in memory of the statesman. Five thousand police were as- signed to guard foreign states- men attending Adenauer's fun- eral Tuesday. Security precau- tions were intensified after a Cologne newspaper received an anonymous note saying left-wing extremists were plotting to kill Johnson. Precautions taken today were the most thorough seen in Bonn since the 1964 visit of French resident de Gaulle who came Chancellor; Guard Streets at a time when there were still fears of an attack on his life. British Prime Minister Wilson is arriving tonight for the state funeral, and de Gaulle:comes in early Tuesday morning. John- son will see both of them, but de Gaulle is due to return to Paris late in the afternoon and it appeared that any meeting between the U.S. and French presidents would be brief and confined to formalities. It is their first meeting since Presi- dent John F. Kennedy's funeral in November, 1963. Adenauer's body was taken Sunday night from the Palais Schaumburg in Bonn to lie in state in- the Roman Catholic cathedral in Cologne. After the state funeral there Tuesday, the body of the former West. Ger- man chancellor will be returned by boat on the Rhine to Rhoen- dorf, where it will be buried at a private family service in the village cemetery. , Adenauer died last Wednesday at the age of 91. and give the new government his public approval.

But diplomats in London said today their embassies in Athens reported the king swore in the new government only to avoid executions of political leaders. They said he still is resisting military demands that he de- clare a state of emergency and endorse the junta in a broad- cast to the nation. KING A PRISONER Reports in London said the king is a virtual prisoner at Ta- toi Palace, 20 miles from Ath- ens, where 20-year-old Queen Anne Marie: is expecting her| second child next month. Most Greeks were thought to be unaware of Constantine's re- ported resistance. One inform- ant said the king may be hop- ing to stall the junta until his position became known and opinion could turn against 'the leaders of the coup. Circles close to the royal fam- ily discounted rumors that the German - born Queen Mother Frederika, known for her force- ful attitude toward politics, spurred the king to take deci- sions "against his will. Constantine has been seen in public twice since the coup but had made no public statement. HIERARCHY BACK COUP Anastasios P a p a ndroplouso, party deputy, said in Dussel- dorf, West Germany, where he fled just before the coup, that it was carried out because an ol- igarchy of about 1,000 Athens families who, he claimed, con- trol 40 per cent of the national income feared the outcome of the May 28 election which the HOCKEY PLAYOFF PREFERRED TO POLITICS, SPOONER FINDS TIMMINS (CP) -- When it comes to politics and hockey, the latter is consid- ered more important by most people, J, W.
