THE ARREST AND EXILE OF EX--PRESIDENT PAPADOPOULOS AND OTHER
LEADERS OF THE 1967 MILITARY COUP ARE DESIGNED TO SATISFY PUBLIC
SENTIMENT THAT JUSTICE SHOULD BE DONE AND LEADING PERSONALITIES
OF THE EX-JUNTAS PUNISHED.
THIS HAS BECOME A MAJOR ELECTION ISSUE. THE DEPORTATION TO
A NEARBY ISLAND IN THE AEGEAN IS REPORTEDLY TO ALLOW THEIR EASY
ACCESS TO ATHENS FOR TRIAL. PRIME MINISTER KARAMANALIS MAY ALSO
BE REACTING TO REPORTS THAT PAPADOPOULOS AND OTHER EX--JUNTA
MEMBERS WERE PLANNING TO FORM A POLITICAL PARTY, PAPADOPOULOS

HAS BEEN UNDER HOUSE ARREST FOR SOME TIME. CHARGES HAVE ALSO
BEEN BROUGHT AGAINST GREEK STRONG11AN IOANNIDIS WHO IS NOW UNDER
INVESTIGATION.
WE HAVE NO INDICATION THAI PAPADOPOULOS WAS CONSPEIIRING
AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT, AS CHARGED. HIS ARREST IS UNLIKELY TO
CREATE A STRONG REACTION IN THE ARMY. A MOVE AGAINST TOANNIDIS
1OULD BE MORE SENSITIVE AS THERE ARE REPORTEDLY STILL SOME IOANNIDIS
SUPPORTERS IN THE ARMY HOWEVER-i POTENTIAL. COUP PLOTTERS IN THE
ARMY SEEM TO BE STILL TAKING A WAIT-AND-SEE ATTITUDE TOWARD THE
KARAMANLIS GOVERNMENT. E_2 IMPDE sr1
