GENERAL
2. US favors centrist Greek gove:rnment-The Department
of State has expressed its concurrence in the views ex-
pressed by US Ambassador Grady in his recent interview
with King Paul of Greece concerning the establishment of
a centrist government, headed by Plasti.r'as. The Depart-
ment informed Grady that the elimination of Plastiras at
this time, and the setting up of an alternative coalition,
would be interpreted in the US as a contrived effort to
frustrate the will of the Greek people as evidenced in the
recent elections and would be likely to create more con-
cern than would any possible subsequent disillusionment
concerning the Plastiras government.
