ATHENS (AP)—Greece's fugitive Communist leader called Saturday for the "creation in free democratic areas of Greece of a free democratic government."
Government troops continued a heavy drive against guerrillas in the northwest, where the war ministry said insurgents sought to set up a Communist state.
The war ministry said loyalist infantry and artillery units were inflicting heavy casualties on leftist guerrillas on Mount Grammos, near the Albanian border. Greek war minister George Stratos said Friday the insurgent objective in that sector was ultimately to set up a separate state.
Nicholas Zachariades, Communist chieftain facing sentences of from one to five years for criminal libel, said in a signed article in the Athens Communist newspaper Rizospastis that the Communists had come to an open break with non-sympathetic political parties.
