His sultry-eyed bride, 20-year-old Tassoula Petracogeorgi, took refuge Vith an uncle of the bridegroom and later was spirited away to a secret hiding place.

Several authorities said Con-stantlne's arrest was a that reflected badly on the Integrity of Premier Sophocles Venizelos' government. They pointed out that Constantine had been promised safe passage when the couple came down from Crete's mountains and flew to Athens. The government which Venizelos, a Liberal party leader, formed last month rests on none too firm a foundation in the ks air vmf sr 30 Nations Outlaw Reds, VanZandt Says HAWK RUN. Pa. Holding no brief for the social and political theories which the Communists advocate, Congressman James E.

Van Zandt of Altoona told his audience attending the Greek Catholic day at Hawk Run on Sunday afternoon that a careful analysis of the strategy and tactics of communism in the U. S. requires legislative authority to protect the interests of the American people. As a result he pointed out that when the house of representatives passed the Wood bill last week providing for the registration of Communists, the United States is simply following the practice of 30 of the 70 countries in the world who have outlawed the Communist party. Congressman Van Zandt paid a fine tribute to the Rev.

Constantine Auroroff, pastor of John's Greek Catholic church and complimented him on his activities not only in behalf cf his charch but as a member of the faculty of the Pennsylvania State college. The congressman in concluding his remarks reminded his listeners of the need for a spiritual crusade in meeting the vicious propaganda from Moscow and he stated that the church is a militant foe of communism and we must depend upon it in the ceaseless battle against the atheistic doctrine of the Kremlin.

VP) An outspoken Church of England bishop questioned Sunday night "the doctrine that human life is inherently sacred." Dr. E. Barnes, bishop of Birmingham, told a meeting of the British association for the advancement of science that he could "give no confident answer" to the question of euthanasia (mercy killing) for what he called "tainted" human stock. But he added: "Is human life always sacred, whatever its qualities or circumstances? "Would God, as Christ revealed Him, under all circumstances, disapprove of euthanasia?" Dr. Barnes has previously urged sterilization of the unfit by law and birth control as a national policy.

Orvil A. Anderson, who has argued for a "preventive" war a-gainst Russia, was suspended Friday as commandant of the Air war college at Maxwell field, Ala, Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, air force chief of staff, said air force men at all levels must understand that the air force is a force for maintaining peace and deterring war. It was the second time within a week that there has been a re buke to a high figure for talking of a preventive war." At Montgomery, where Maxwell field is located, newspapermen were told that the general was confined to his home with an impacted wisdom tooth he refused to come to the phone.

On last Friday, Secretary of the Navy Matthews made a speech suggesting a "preventive" war for peace if necessary. The state department and the White House disavowed his views as administration policy. Also the White House said that President Truman had had a telephone talk with Matthews. Reporters were given to under stand that Mr. Truman had "straightened out" the secretary of the navy and would keep him in the administration.

Vandenberg, when announcing Anderson's suspension, gave no reason. Earlier, however, an air' force spokesman acknowledged that Anderson and others at the Air War college had discussed argu ments for and against a pre' ventive war. Anderson was quoted by the Montgomery (Ala) Advertiser in a copyrighted story as saying: "Give me the order to do it and I can break up Russia's live A-bomb nests in a week. And when I went up to Christ I think I could explain to him that I had saved civilization." The copyrighted interview further quoted the Air War college commandant as saying that ''to assume that Russia won't use their A-bomb if we sit by and watch them build them is a dangerous assumption."
