GREEK "STRONG MAN
DIES UNEXPECTEDLY
Gen. Ceorge Kondylis, For

Of Heart Attack
By ALEXANDER SEDGWICK
Copyright, 1936, By The As

ATHENS.—Gen. George Kondy-
lis, b55-year-old former “strong
man” ‘of Greece, died suddenly to
day from a heart attack, and the
Athens garrison was ordered to
stand by on guard against any
eventualitjes.
Authorities said no trouble
threatened immediately, but they
took the precautions in view of a
recent statement by Kondylis,
which caused considerable appre
hension, that he had intended to
use force, if necessary, to prevent
the liberal Venigelists,” who won
Sunday’s elections, from* gaining
control. b .
The general, long a sufferer from
asthma, died at noon after a heart
attack during the night.
Reflecting the troubled political
situation, rumors soon circulated
that Kondylis was poisoned by
political enemies, but this was
quickly denied by his own associ
ates,
These sources said Kondylis,
former regent who split with the
recalled King George after tak
ing a leading part in the restora
tion of the Greek monarchy, was
affected greatly also by his recent
political break with Jean Theoto
kis, once his: co-leader in the
Populist party, 4
