ATHENS ,VP)- - The regime of
strongman Premier George Pa-
padopoulos rolled up a spectacu-
lar 92.2 per cent majority for its
new constitution yesterday, amaz-
ing Greeks and foreign diplomatsa
alike.
Approval of the document, cutt-;
ing King Constantine's power and
establishing a strong executive,
had been widely predicted.
But even Papadoplos' ministers
had not forecast such a lopsided
outcome, especially since the new
charter suspends most of the vot-
ers' basic rights until the govern-
ment chooses tprestore them.
The vote ap roached a unani-
mity comparable to one-ticket
elections in Communist lands.,
Skeptical remarks were heard
about the way the voting was run
at some polling places. But in
general diplomats and responsible
Greeks raised no doubts about the
fairness of the referendum.
The campaign had been one-
sided. Government officials, the
press and radio joined in a mas-
sive effort to persuade Greeks to
vote for the constitution. If there
was any campaigning at all in op-
position it was clandestine.
Observers of Greece's often con-
fusing politics put forth a variety
of reasons for the size of the af-
firmative vote. The common de-
nominator was that rejection
would have served no positive
purpose.
However, the landslide may be
interpreted by the government as
a directive to proceed with Ats an-
nounced aims without losing riuch
time in thought about retumning
to a parliamentary system.

Papadopulos hailed the result
as a vote of confidence in his re-
gime and as a mandate to pursue
its policies.
Papadopoulos and his associates
who engineered the April 21, 1967
coup d'etat that brought them to
power 17 months ago already are
reported to be setting up key.units
in the country around which they
could build their own political par-
ty.
When sure enough of themselves
they may also permit opposition
groups to do the same. But they
would almost certainly be safe,
conservative groups not likely to
rock the regime's position or in-
fluence its goals.
Meanwhile, the regime can boast
of winning the biggest majority
of any vote ever held in Greece.
Final returns from all of the 8,-
108 polling stations in the coun-'
try approved the referendum byj
a total of 4,633,602 votes, 92.2 per
cent to 390,470 votes against 7.3
percent.
Andreas Papandreou, a leader
of the opposition in exile, express-
ed admiration in Stockholm for
Greeks who abstained and he also
criticized American support of the
Athens administration.
"We shall never know, of course,
the true number of abstentions
and of 'no' votes cast, nor the
n u m b e r of invalid; ballots," he
said.
Papandreou is chairman of the
Swedish branch of the Panhellen-
ic Liberation Movement, which he
said will dedicate all its efforts to
resistance until Greece is Free andl
democratic.-

to save the nomination of Fortas
by ending a filibuster by Repub-
lican and southern Democratic
senators.
Meanwhile, opponents of For-
tas, confident they have the nom-
ination blocked, have turned their
fire on the current chief justice,
Earl Warren.
Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va), for
one, said that "in the way he con-
ditioned his retirement" Warren
has "acted in a manner unbecom-
ing the great office of chief jus-
ice."
Sen. Gordon Allott (R-Colo),
criticized what he called the "cal-
culated phraseology" in which
Warren submitted his retirement
at President Johnson's pleasure,
and in which Johnson accepted it
upon the confircnation of a suc-
cessor.
Democratic leader Mike Mans-
field of Montana expressed hope
for a full attendance when a roll
Ball is due to be taken at 1 p.m. on
a petition to invoke the Senate's
debate-limiting cloture rule.
Mansfield has indicated that
the question of dropping the fight
will turn on the number or votes
he is able to round up in favor of
cloture. A' two-thirds majority of
the senators voting is required to
invoke the rule. An Associated
Press survey indicated last week
that opponents of cloture bav
more than enough votes to defeat
it.
One big unknown quantity on
the eve of the test was how many
absentees there will be. Already
on the sure to-be-absent list are
Sens. Allen J. Ellender (D-La), an
opponent of any move to limit
debate; George A. Smathers (D-
Fla), a Fortas supporter, and Mar-
garet Chase Smith (R-Maine)
whose views are not known. El-
lender and Smathers are out of
town and Mrs. Smith is in the
hospital,
Some critics argue that Supreme
Court appointments should be left
to the new president taking office
Jan. 20.
Sen. J. W. Fulbright (D-Ark),
told newsmen that Johnson had
accepted Warren's retirement on
a contigency basis-"contingent on
ing obscenity convictions involv-
ing what he called "slimy" movies
and other materials. He said the
decisions "swept away virtually all
the old stanadrds of the U.S.
courts as to decency."

MEXICO CITY (.P) - Troops
who since Sept. 18 have occupied
the University of Mexico's auto-

yesterday.
The force, estimated at about
1,300, began to climb into a row
of troop trucks parked on the cam-
pus near the university stadium,
where the Olympic Games will op-
en Oct. 12.
Before that, 500 women staged
a "march of mothers" along Pas-

Their march, from the Monu-
ment to Mexican Motherhood at
Avenida Insurgents to the Cham-

older part of the city, was the
first organized demonstration to
take place in three days -- days of
relative calm in the wake of stu-
dent disturbances as the city pre
pares for the 1968 Olympic Games.
In the latest outbreak of vio-
lence, after the army occupied the
University of Mexico Sept. 18, at
least 15 persons by unofficial
count died between Sept. 20 and
Sept. 24.
Student demands from the re-

BLACKPOOL, England (A') -
The British Labor party rebuked
Prime Minister Harold Wilson at
its annual convention yesterday
by voting almost 5 to 1 to reject
his government's attempt to curb
wages in a drive toward national
solvency.
With each delegate casting bal-
lots for all members of his organ-
ization, the vote was 5,098,000 to
1,124,000 for repeal of legislation
limiting wage increases.
It came despite strong appeals
by two cabinet ministers - Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer Roy Jenk-
ins and Mrs. Barbara Castle, who
is in charge of labor relations -
for support of the government.
The vote is not binding on Wil-
son, who has'stated after similar
adverse votes in the past that the
government represents all the
people of Britain and "the gov-
ernment must govern."
But it is an indication of the
the party convention came on a
resolution presented by the Trans-'
port and General Workers, Brit-
ain's biggest union. It was to a,
large extent brought about by a
passionate speech from Michael
Foot, leader of the party's left-
ist faction.
Foot charged the government
had turned its back on Socialist
principles in favor of "orthodox
conservative policies of deflation."
"We are not prepared to toler-
ate the scourge of unemployment
at its present level," he said, add-
ing that there were some in the
government, without mentioning
names, who actually favored a
policy of high unemployment.
Jenkins told the delegates the
government's austerity policy was
the only way to open up new hor-
izons in social policy.
He defended the administra-
tion's record in social welfare, but
said it had been paid for by loans
from other countries. This ar-
rangement, he said, ,annot con-
tinue.
"Help us to get out of debt," he
pleaded.'

NEALE and DEIRDRE HUNTER are a young Australian couple who taught in
Communist China from 1965-1967 and lived the Cultural Revolution through
their students who became Red Guards. From July 1966 when all classes had
stopped with the 'students saying that they were "busy" until April 1967 when
the Huriters left China they kept up with developments in Shangai, reading the
wall posters, attending Red Guard meetings and talking with their students. Well
educated in Sino affairs, fluent in the language and so able to move about alone,
they traveled to Shansi and Kiangsi provinces and to Huhehot, the capital of
Inner Mongolia talking to the people and learning much about China today from
them. Neale did three years of graduate work in Chinese and Japanese at Can-
berra deferring further doctoral work for a time to travel. Deirdre has done grad-
uate work in Indian and Chinese Political Science. Co-author of China Observed
with Colin MacKerras (Praeger, '68) Neale is finishing a study for the Center for
Chinese Studies at Berkeley The Tiger's Back (U of Cal Press and Praeger, '68).
beirdre's Chinese Youth and Education will be published early in '69.

negotiations, Goldberg agreed to
serve-as chairman of a mediation
panel.
Goldberg's intervention in the
three-part dispute was condition-
ed, however, on an agreement to
extend the present contracts of
the Policemen's Benevolent Asso-
ciation, the Uniformed Firefight-
ers Association and the Uniformed
Sanitationmen's Association.
There were indications the un-
ions might go along and extend
contracts that expire within nine
hours of each other beginning at
midnight. This would give the me-
diators tine to tackle the key
issue of wages.
The PBA's contract hovering
22,000 policemen had a midnight
expiration date, and the union had
threatened a "knockout punch"
against the city, without spelling
out details.
The 10,500-member UFA had
announced it would continue to.
fight fires with the expiration of
its contract at 8:45 a.m. Tuesday,
but would abandon clerical and all
other nonemergency duties.
The 10,000 garbagemen were on,
record as prepared for a strike at
midnight, a duplication of 1 a s t
February's nine-day walkout. That
strike led to 15 days in jail for
USA president, John J. DeLury,
and an $80,000 fine against the
union, for violation of a state law
banning strikes by public employ-
es.
Wallace arrives in Chicago
Sto sat Midwest campaign
CHICAGO W)-George C. Wal-
lace launched his drive to cap-
ture votes in the Midwest and the
industrial North yesterday and
was greeted with cheers and jeers
in a motorcade through downtown
Chicago.
Wallace rode down eight blocks
of State Street during the noon
hour a n d an estimated 50,000
turned out to see the former Ala-
bama governor seeking the presi-
dency under the banner of the
American Independent party.
Wallace was scheduled to speak
later Monday in Cicero, a western
suburb of predominantly white
residents. He planned to , emain
overnight in the Chicago area be-
fore enplaning Tuesday for a four-
city, one-day trip through Michi-
gan.
The route taken by the Wallace
motor caravan was similar to the
one taten by Richard M. Nixon
when he opened his Republican
presidential campaign in Chicago
earlier this month. Some 400,0001
persons lined the sidewalks to ap-
plaud Nixon.
A group of 300-400 Wallace
supporters, including a drum and
bugle corps, formed behind the
Wallace car and the march began
with rousing shouts of "We Want
Wallace!"
The jeers came -almost immed-
iately. A group of Negro youths
carrying signs which read, "Wal-
lace is a Bigot," fell in with the
supporters and marched alongside
the open limousine.
One of the Wallace supporters
was the Rev. William Lewis, a.
Negro minister who said, "I want
to shake his (Wallace's) hand -nd
tell him to keep up the good
work." He did.
Wallace's victory strategy calls
for him to score a victory in one
of the key Midwest states. In ad-
dition to -Illinois and Michigan,
Wallace will visit Indiana, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, -New York, New
Jersey and Maryland in his sev-
en-day swing through the north.
