Four persons were killed and 191 in jured before troops and police restored order. The rioting was Athens' worst since the 1944 Greek revolution. A mob shattered the windows in the U.S. Information Service of fice dedicated to improvement of understanding among the Western Allies. Angry Greeks fought police in an attempt to break into the building, but finally were driven off by counterattacks, during which the police said they fired into the air. The office had closed for the day, and no Americans were injured there. The rioters did not explain why they singled out the information center, but apparently staged the attack as a protest against the United States' refusal to support Greece's claim. to Cyprus. That idea sparked a window smashing riot by 4000 Greek stu dents here Dec. 14, 1954, against a building housing five U.S. agen cies—the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force missions to Greece, the U.S. Information Agency and the U.S. consulate.
