In response to questions, Welles saul that reports of the Greek famine had been reaching th.s government for a long time from Americans who had seen condifrom neighbortions at first-haning countries and from the Greek legation here. He said the Germans had taken every bit of food and left the Greeks to starve. The infast mortality was a shocking commentary on the nazi treatment of the Greeks, he said. Some food is being sent to Greece through Turkey under British auspices. Welles said he hoped that this would relieve the famine conditions.

Steve Stuckel, appeared with a hammer and a screw driver and went to work on the molding holding the small glass window in place. When his job was half finished a curious bystander picked up the doorknob, inserted it, turned it, and opened the door. Walsh backed out and was thanking everyone when news- paper photographers arrived and asked him to step into the booth again for some pictures. Walsh did. The door stuck. The knob wouldn't work a second time. The molding had been replac'd. Stuckel had disappeared with the hammer and screw driver. After 25 embarrassing minutes, someone broke the glass window and the bystanders pulled Walsh out.
