ATHENS, Greece (AP)—A severe earthquake jolted Greece Tuesday
and sent tremors through Mediterranean bedrock to southern Italy,
Sicily, Crete and Malta. Homes were toppled in some areas of
Greece.    Elsewhere the damage seemed slight.
Casualties appeared relatively light. Though the disturbance
startled thousands in an arc spanning more than 600 miles from
Malta to the Greek-Yugoslav frontier area, dispatches told of one
death and about two dozen injured.

ALGIERS (AP) - The leftist,
chief of Algeria's 45,000 - man
regular army Tuesday pledged
full military support of Deputy
, Premier Ahmed Ben Bella in
his campaign to regain control
of this guerrilla-held capital.
The opposing guerrilla lead-
! ers, who chased Ben Bella's po-
| litical bureau out of Algiers, remained defiant. Thcy claimed
they had smashed a plot by Ben
Bella supporters to seize the
capital.
Army backing of Ben Bella
was announced by military
strongman Col. Houari Boums-
dienne at Setif, 150 miles ?ast
of Algiers.

I Despite the sharp wording of
ithe manifesto, diplomatic observers believe thc opposing

avoid bloodshed. A major fear
is that some type of military

France July 3.
