LONJjON I UP) King Arthur of
the Knights I the Hound Table
has just emerged from the rnists
of legend into tin sunlight of real
ity; lifter inure than S00 years.
Science coaxed him forth in one
of the prettiest displays of aren
ae&logicul detective work in a
long time. But, alas, at the same
time it debunked the pretty picture
of knights jousting with lances.
The fact that King Arthur ac
tually lived, fought and died and
was not merely an invention of
medieval storytellers (and Holly
wood script writers) Is a by-prod
uct of an inquiry by a team of
scientists into Britains "lost cen
tubes" the years between 400
and 625 A. D.
The British Broadcasting Corpor
ation, which docs things like this,
decided to ask the scientists what
they could find out about the dark
era when the Roman occupation
was ending. The usual picture
painted by historians is that of a
Britain populated mainly by Illit
erate peasants and overrun by
barbarians.
C lues Assembled
There are two ways of making
scientific discoveries these days.
One is to find something new. The
other is to examine old research

Situation Grows
More Serious
'in Cyprus Fight
By MIAKI.KS M. MCCANX
j I'tiiled rrttiN Stafl Correspondi-nt
i The situation on the Eastern
Mediterranean island of Cyprus is
getting dangerous.
The island is a British possession.
Greece wants it. Turkey says "no
to that.
Greece has been demanding Cyp
rus ever since tiie end of World
War II, on the ground that it once
was Greek and thut most of its
people are of Greek background.
But Cyprus has not been Greeh
since pre-Christian days. It is only
40 miles from Turkey and 4(0 miles
from the Greek mainland.
Britain acquired it from Turkey
in 1878. Turkey had possessed ii
previously since 1571. Before that,
tor centuries it had undergone var
ious kinds of rule. Turkey, inci
dentally, took the island li-om the
Venetian Republic.
About four-fifths of the island's
500.000 people are of Greek back
ground. Most of the rest are runts
Turkey holds that, historically and
geographically, it has the right to
Cyprus if Britain ever gels out.
A campaign of open terrorism
against British rule has now brok
en out in Cyprus.
Illumes Radio
Britain asserted in u formal note
to Greece yesterday that the offi
ciaj Athens Radio is broadcasting
propaganda which is inciting re
voll. The three-cornered dispute over
Cyprus involves three countries,
all friends of the United States,
which think alike about cold war
problems. They are allies in the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion. Cyprus is being made a
major NATO military base.
The present dispute can be help
ful only to the Communists.
A strange angle of the situation
is that the Communists rule most
Cyprus towns and that they are
nost active in inciting terrorism
in support of Greek rule. But
Communism is outlawed in bitter
ly anti-Red Greece. If the Com
munists went there they would
face a firing squad.
Greece has tried unsuccessful lv
to get the United Nations to in
tervene in the dispute.
Now Britain may take it before
NATO, on the ground that one
member of the alliance is work
ing against another.
- Many Incidents
There were anti-British incidents
on Cyprus before World War II
Since the war, such incidents have
multiplied.
What appeare to be an organ
ized campaign of terrorism by the
Cyprus "E.O.K.A. organization-
the organization of Cypriot fight
ersbroke out one- week ago to
day. British buildings and homes
have been bombed. Police stations
have been attacked. Telephone
lines have been cut.
Britain's note to the Greek gov
ernment complained especially
that the Athens Radio broadcast
last Tuesday, the day the cam
paign started, an E.O.K.A. mani
festo calling on tiie people to
"rise" and "liberate" the island.,
