Constantine flees to Rome
Greek junta crushes royal coup
ROME—(UPI)—The ruling military junta in Greece Thursday morning announced the final collapse of key army garrison that had backed King Constantine's armed coup attempt Wednesday.
The announcement broadcast by the semiofficial Athens news agency came shortly after Constantine flew to Rome with his family.
The agency said the Larisa garrison, where Constantine had declared himself in rebellion Wednesday had "declared its obedience to the national government."
Larisa is headquarters for the army's "A" corps which reportedly had supported Constantine and is the site of a North Atlantic treaty Organization air base. At
BONN—(UPI)—Gov. George Romney of Michigan arrived in the West German capital by train today, his round-the-world fact-finding tour thrown off schedule by the vagaries of the weather.

He had planned to fly Wednesday to Berlin and spend half a day in the divided city but his flight was canceled by bad weather. He flew later to Amsterdam and took the train to Bonn.
Germany is the third leg of the 13-nation tour that will take the candidate for the 1963 Republican presidential nomination to Vietnam for Christmas.
one time during the 20-hour bid for power, the king's forces claimed control of the entire air force and navy and most of the army.
Romrev talked with government and opposition leaders in France and England on a wide range of topics. Informed sources said Vietnam was the dominant topic.
The Greek broadcast declared that the "national revolution (meaning the junta) has the state in control. The people and the army are by its side."
The junta hailed the king's flight to Rome as a sign the coup had been definitely crushed.

There were reports of some bloodshed in the attempted coup. Reliable sources said the sharpest fighting took place 13 miles south-west of Athens, at the air force base of Elesfis where army troops moved against airmen loyal to
Constantine. The sources said about 20 men were killed.
Despite these and other reports, there were indications that Constantine's flight to Italy possibly averted the mass bloodshed of civil war, bloodshed Constantine said he wanted to avoid.
Constantine was accompanied to Rome by Prime Minister Constantine Kollias and his immediate family, including "mishborn Queen Anne Marie, their two small children and his mother, Queen FreADERika. The king's sister, Princess Irene, also was with the party.
They arrived at Rome's Ciampino airport shortly before 5 a.m. today.
Constantine, uniformed and
looking grim and worried, was asked by newsmen for details of his attempted coup. He would only say, "none at the moment."
The royal family drove away from the airport in a black limousine bearing diplomatic license plates. Its destination was unknown.
In Athens junta announced an amnesty for its one-day foes in the military. But three top generals were reported under arrest. Even before Constantine left Greece, the junta announced:
People-to-People
Col. George Papadopoulos, the zealously anti-Communist mastermind behind the junta's seizure of power April 21, had been sworn in as prime minister, replacing Kollias.
