...severely limit his powers and make him a figurehead. Last week Deputy Premier Stylianos Pattakos told a Dutch journalist: "We aspire to have a monarchy in which the monarch has no political power-a modern King such as there is in England, Sweden and The Netherlands.

Little Room. The principal roadblock, apart from popular feeling against tax boosts and congressional reluctance to raise the rates in an election year, has been the fiscal conservatives' demand for a substantial cutback in federal expenditures.

We want to make it clear that the police had to step over more chairs to get our people out. They pull us apart and carry us out, stacking us like cord wood under a tree.
