GREEK GUERRILLAS
ATTACKS ON TRANSPORT (Rec. 11.30 p.m.) LONDON, Mar. 15. Guerrillas are so active in the north of Greece that Axis transport is confined to convoys which are preceded by armed motor cyclists, while patrols cover the flanks, says the Ankara correspondent of the British United Press. Machine-guns are mounted on top of the lorries. Most of the convoys include a light field gun. Guerrillas are besieging the Italian garrison at Kastoria. One hundred and forty-five hostages were executed after saboteurs blew up a chemical factory at Ketherimini, near Salonika, as well as a railway bridge in the same vicinity.
