VILLAGES (iy Associated Press) ATHENS, July 17.—Govern- iment forces have broken the re- {sistence of the guerilla bands in ‘northwestern Greece, {ficially reported it was of- today. It was jadded that 264 guerillas have | have been killed and 215 wound-/} ed. Shortly after that announce- jment was made, a guerilla lead- | er broadcast that his followers} yhave proclaimed the freedom from the Grecian government of 39 villages in the area of the fighting. The report was classed as false by a government spokes- man, who said that it was of com- munistic origin, and was made in an effort to cover up the defeat of the guerillas. The government said that it} had rounded up 1,250 Leftists ! and has deported them to an is- land in the Aegean Sea for safe- keeping in a detention camp. Women, it was further stated, who have been spreading com- munistic doctrine and advocating resistance to the government, have been arrested for investiga- ! tion. If they are found guilty of the charges, they also will be de- ported. Greeks Assert!
