Despite the recent depressing economic news, the British have jbeen ransacking the shops for |Christmas gifts and goodies on |an unprecendented scale. | Pound notes in circulation the | week before Christmas--a guide to spending--stoood at an all- |time high of £3,160,100.000 ($8, | 151,457,000), almost £100,000,000 labove the peak reached at \Christmas last year. } Consensus of gleefully-sur- prised merchants and troubled economic experts is that the re tail bonanza is partly a result of devaluation last month and part ly deliberate defiance of slump conditions.

Woman Refugee Vows | turn to it after the recess To Fight Greek Military LONDON (AP) -- A Greek woman publisher who dyed her light hair dark to flee from Athens after 11 weeks of house arrest. says she will fight the "mediocre and ignorant' lead- ers of her homeland's military dictatorship. Mrs. Helen Viachos, a conser- vative, arrived in London Thursday aboard a plane from Athens after apparently walking past guards at her apartment| overlooking the royal palace of exiled King Constantine. She gave no further details of her escape in an interview with the BBC but said: "I feel I can be more useful to the Greek cause abroad than under house arrest in Athens." The 55-year-old woman went into seclusion after the inter- view which was beamed to Greece.
